Servers are still quick, pleasant, & attentive. The food is still very good. What brings my rating…read moredown from 5 to 4 stars is the wait to be seated. First, there really is no seating while waiting for a table. Second, the hostess underestimated our wait time. We were told 20 minutes when it actually took 45 minutes. To be fair, I don't entirely blame her. When I mentioned how long we had been waiting, she apologized for being understaffed. EVERY PLACE seems to have the same problem so I get it. But what the real issue may be for Ridgewood Kitchen is an ability to be even semi-accurate in how long it will take a table to turn over. There were three elderly couples seated at a table when we arrived. They had clearly finished their meals & were conversing. They did so for another hour & forty-five minutes! How can a restaurant deal with that?!? Ridgewood Kitchen is still a great choice for food & table service. Just be aware the wait time for a table may be considerably longer than quoted.

But service was quick and friendly, so no worries there. Food was good. Crab dip was amazing, try it, for the quality and the taste, I didn't mind the price. Big Reuben was okay, the bottom was soggy and it was a bit greasy. The battered fries are great though. Chopped salad with chicken was good, although the grilled chicken was overly charred and overcooked to dry. Finally one of the kids got the full size Mac and cheese while the other got small with steak. Not sure of the serving difference but it sure looked like the same amount to me.

I finally got around to checking out this restaurant. It's decent American sports pub food. With…read moredaily specials and occasional live music, it does look enticing. I ordered the classic burger with an Impossible burger as a vegetarian substitute. It was nicely cooked, and the bun was properly charred, cheese melted. My hubby ordered a black and blue smashburger. It was hot and tasty, the gorgonzola melted, mingling with the sautéed mushrooms with crispy bacon. He devoured it. The fries were mediocre and too much for one portion. The mozzarella sticks had a nice pull to them. I also ordered a maple bourbon old fashioned. The drink arrived with a piece of bacon and had a wonderful smoked effect to it. It lingered in the glass as I enjoyed the drink. Highly recommend. Overall, it was enjoyable. Our server was excellent, on point. I would return. Maybe on a night with live music.

They were sooo tasty and beautifully presented! Our whole experience was enhanced by our wonderful server, Kelly. We came in strangers and felt like we made a friend. Is no surprise that this restaurant has received so many accolades. Add ours to the long list. We will be back!!

I came here with my boyfriend for a breakfast date before he had to go to work. We thought about…read moretrying this place before so we decided to since we were in the area. The atmosphere was bright and homey, an ideal place to start your morning. We were seated promptly and our drink orders were taken immediately. I appreciated that we were given a pitcher of water alongside our main drink orders. However, we weren't very impressed with the size of the cups for the waters. They were one step above a shot glass. Prices are about what you'd expect. We both got pancakes, mine having chocolate chips and strawberries. While I prefer to have my strawberries more sauce-like than fresh, I still found them enjoyable. We both liked our pancakes, but I have two complaints about them. I don't like that they don't come with some sort of side, especially when I'm paying nearly $8 for them and 99 cents per topping. And while they're supposed to be bottomless, the size of the pancakes makes it pointless. If you get the full order (which is required for the bottomless option), you get three pancakes that are almost the size of the plate. Unless you have one heck of an appetite or multiple stomachs, it's nearly impossible to make to a second plate. My boyfriend ordered a side of hash browns with his pancakes. We shared them and I thought they were decent. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely edible. Overall, I'd come back here and try the other things on their menu.

What a special find. This local diner was recommended to me several times and I just never seemed…read moreto follow up on it. So the other day my wife and I decided to go for lunch. Well we drove out to River St. in Grand River in NE Ohio. On a heavily commercial road in an older neighborhood there it was, "Sammy's Family Restaurant". An older building with parking on both sides and around the back. So we parked and went inside. At the front door we were greeted by a sign that said, "Seat yourself at a clean table". As we wandered over to a nice location we noticed small, laminate cards on the tables that read "CLEAN". So we sat, and when the waitress came over she picked up our sign... quaint and efficient. We wandered through an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It had everything you could possibly want. Really, the choices were 5 pages long. So I ordered a kosher dog with kraut and fresh cut fries. My wife had a cheeseburger with fries as well. Both were large, perfectly prepared and the fries were amazing. It was almost more than we could eat. But, we had to try the rice pudding I saw on the menu. We ordered coffee and a rice pudding to share. The pudding was awesome! It was clearly home made. So, as we were preparing to crawl out of the place because we were so full. The waitress brought us the check. I think my eyes almost popped out of my head. It had a grand total of only $25.00. I looked at it twice and showed my wife. We couldn't believe that excellent experience only cost us $25.00. I told the cashier what a wonderful surprise her place was and we would definitely be back. You should definitely go too.

When we arrived, the hostess was not at the station so we alked in. Seated immediately by the sole wait staff/bartender. No one ever acknowledged our special occassion. If you aren't going to acknowledge, why ask? We were in time for happy hour and were very pleased with the happy hour tempranillo. Not so happy about those dirty glasses. Happy hour cauliflower was tasty. The steak was not a uniform temp. Edges were medium well and inside was medium rare. The chimichurri is very parsley forward. The fish was perhaps a tad over cooked. The rice, plaintains, & salsa were just ok. Jack Daniels bread pudding was bland. The sauce tasted more of cinnamon than jack daniels and the bread pudding itself wasn't flavorful. The chocolate cake was ok. We shared a few bites, then took it home. Took us a few days to get through it and we love chocolate! Service was amazing, especially considering she also was tending bar. There were several parties dining and so far as we could tell, she kept everyone happy. If you give it a try, go for the service ... the food is just ok.
