Food, service, & a great friend to have lunch with. Ritchie's, also has the best meat for a great price! I enjoy going there.

Great place to eat. Nothing special just the regulars but good selection. They have an ice cream parlor and grocery store connected and the store is one of the only places you can buy potato chips called The Whole Shabang and they are the absolute best and worth the trip alone. read more

Really good food and service! Swiss burger was very flavorful, and the place looked and smelled amazing (smoked meats smell.).

We had a party of 7 that visited this restaurant for the first time. We had issues with three of those meals. All three had crinkle fries instead of Hand-cut fries. We were not told before receiving the meal that they were out of the hand cut. In order to give us the opportunity to order a different side. Two meals were suppose to have two potato skins. Those meals only received one. This was listed on the menu. Also, one of those meals was suppose to have an egg on the sandwich. The white of the egg was chopped in small pieces. And put on the potato skin. Which was strange. And one meal received the wrong sandwich. read more

On the advice of the lady at the Christmas cave we give this place a try. It's very small and just to the right inside the door of a grocery store. The waitress/hostess was very friendly and nice and quick with the service. My husband ordered the fish and chips which he said was good. It came with creamy coleslaw that was excellent & shoestring fries which as they hit the table were over cooked & had been obviously sitting waiting on the remaining food to be ready & consequently not as warm as they should've been. I ordered the five smoked jumbo chicken wings with the sauce on the side. With the advice of the waitress i ordered 3 sauces on the side. (No extra charge) I found the chili sauce was very good the barbecue sauce was excellent & the Caribbean sauce was a little off in flavor. I also ordered the onion rings which were a large portion but a little too greasy and kind of soggy. (The wings WERE JUMBO and yummy.) Total-the bill without drinks (we drank water) was $30 which seems a little overpriced. read more

Two consecutive weeks we got half of our order after 90 minutes and had to cancel the other half --- Right now they have issues in the kitchen to fix food. read more

I ordered a "pulled chicken" sandwich...it was horrid. It tasted like canned ham. Others at my table ordered pulled pork. It was cold and very fatty. All of our sides came cold too. Plus they forgot my vegetables but they was good once I got them 10mins after I was done eating. Only reason they got one star is the service was good and understanding. They gave us free ice cream after dinner but forgot some Marshmallow cream on a Sunday. Overall would not recommend. Better off eating microwave dinners from Walmart. read more

It's a nice place to get a beer and some wings if you're in the area. It's also reasonably priced.

4 stars for the flavor of BBQ meats, 2 for quality of the sides, and 2 for service. Could have had a better experience - the teenage staff doesn't bother to check orders. We had 5 meals and a bunch of sides along with a pizza. Was initially handed a pizza and a bag with 4 boxes in it. Seemed legit, but weighed virtually nothing. I'm so glad we checked because we made a 20 minute drive from our cabin to this place. The bag *only* contained HALF of the sides (soggy fries and "sauteed mushrooms" that were coated and FRIED - fix your menu!) and NONE of the meats or other items. We had to circle about 75% of the items on the receipt to show what we were missing. And it's not like they just missed grabbing a bag of the rest of the food. No... they didn't even prepare it! Stood around for another 25 minutes waiting... and even then it was still missing a chicken breast, and both baked potatoes. WTF?! Another 10 minutes and they finally produced all of the food. An hour later we got back and had to heat everything up to make it edible. AND THEN REALIZED THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY SAUCE. GRRRRRR!!! We luckily found a bottle of sauce in our cabins fridge, but that was the last straw. I will say the meats were delicious, but the rest of the side items were mediocre at best and others seemed bulk from a jar (slaw). If you do go... check everything before you leave! Amateur at best. A phone call to the manager took 4 tries (they kept hanging up on me) and provided zero satisfaction (claimed employees were new) to which I suggested maybe he train them better. Ugh. read more

YALL. My colleagues and I drive into Portsmouth, OH and have passed this place a few times and noticed the parking lot is always full. Not know what it was we just decided to stop. BEST IDEA OF 2020. This place is a sports bar, grocery store, cafe, lottery ticket, and ice cream parlor all in one. Food was great, wine was great, groceries were cheap, ice cream was great. Whoa. read more
