    Diamond in the rough! I was looking for a place to eat and use the restroom and saw this on Yelp…read more We didn't realize you could go in because it looked like drive through only, which was fine. We got in line and while it took a long time (so if you are in a hurry don't stop during lunchtime!) the food was delicious!! The burger was very fresh and juicy and the fries tasted like they were fries in something that would cook pastries! Very flavorful! So glad we took a chance on this place! Will definitely stop again on our journeys to Tallahassee (I only wish we had discovered it years ago!)

    I absolutely love coming to Ralph's! I was first introduced to this local spot a few years ago, and…read moreI will always make it a point to stop each time I find myself visiting the area. Truthfully, there is not too much to this place. The restaurant is primarily drive-thru, having two lanes on each side of the building. There is also a walk-up window at the front that you can order at as well. They have a breakfast menu that is served until 11AM, and then their regular lunch and dinner menu available for the rest of the day following. On a typical visit, I find myself stopping here for breakfast. There are several options, but my absolute favorite is the Sausage, Egg and Cheese with Double Meat. One thing to note is that their breakfast sandwiches come on hamburger buns, instead of something like a bagel or a biscuit. It makes them unique, and truthfully one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches of all time. Their fountain drinks are the best, as I can never visit without getting a nice, crispy Diet Coke to sip on. Also, I have had their milkshakes, and they are a delight! I would recommend mixing the Oreo and the Peanut Butter - yum! Personally, I feel this place has an excellent value for the price. For two people to eat breakfast and get drinks, we usually spend around $16 dollars. We typically switch up exactly what we get, so it's always different, but I always think that it is a great value no matter what. Recently, they have implemented a 3.5% fee for using a credit card, so I would recommend paying in cash to avoid the fee if possible. The staff here is always friendly and hospitable. It seems like they retain a lot of staff and they usually work the same shifts, so they get to recognizing their customers and knowing them. Even with operating a drive-thru and wanting to likely get customers through, they still take the time to converse and provide a great experience. The owner is very friendly, and you can tell he takes great pride in both the establishment and the customer experience. I am not local to the Chiefland area, but I look forward to eating at Ralph's each time I come to town. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick bite to eat, with excellent customer service, and all for a great value.

    Stopped by here on our way back to Jax today, very conveniently located right off I-10. I had the…read morechicken tenders that came with fries and a biscuit, as well as a strawberry milkshake. Husband got a smash burger with sweet potato fries and a Heath bar shake. Everything was served quickly by the nice young man behind the counter, all was hot and looked great. Everything was delicious, with the highpoints being the sweet potato waffle fries, the biscuit, and the milkshakes. I got ranch and the Motlee sauce for my chicken and both were excellent, the ranch is def homemade. We'll be back around the next time we head in or out on I-10, although it's only 30 minutes from where I live in Jax, so we might make the drive just for dinner one night.

    Good, perhaps not great, but quite good. My friend and I had to investigate given the hype and what…read morewe found was a very fast food--looking place, bright but simple, even spartan, interior, nice and fast service, reasonable prices. But, beyond the expected hamburgers and a great selection of shakes, they have chicken 'n' waffles, fried shrimp, and other dishes. Everything is indeed fast food yet at the same time tastes homemade. My shrimp were good though a bit too salty for my liking, the waffle fries fine, the bread roll (really? not hushpuppies?) ok if weird to me to include in a seafood basket. Their house MotLee's Sauce is certainly the sauce to ask for, by the way. All in all, a good, economical choice for fast food plus to support something local and unique.
