Ridge View Bbq

We've never had a bad experience with Ridge View, so when they posted that they were going to be having smoked meatloaf, we knew we had to try it. I'm really glad we did, because it is amazingly good. The smoke adds a great layer of flavor to the meatloaf that I never would have considered. It's great on its own or in a sandwich. We got 2 of the sandwiches from Ridge View and a full loaf and we've been making meat loaf sandwiches non stop. Definitely recommend.

We ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich platter, a hotdog and cheese fries. The BBQ was super tasty as always. Their baked beans have lots of pulled pork in them as well and are on the sweet side. The potato salad was pretty standard. The cheese fries were regular ol straight cut frozen fries, but the cheese sauce helped them out a lot and they weren’t bad. The hotdog was beef, and you knew it the moment you bit into it. The coleslaw was good, but the chili wasn’t my favorite; too tangy for my preference. Certain times a year they have ramp pimento cheese and it is the holy grail of cheese spreads.

When you pull into a restaurant and the traffic is wrapped around the building into the road, you've definitely picked the right spot. I probably come here to often, the food is really good. The 4-for-Friday special is the way to go. Great variety and plenty of food for three maybe four people depending on appetite. The staff has always been friendly and fast once you get to the ordering window. The meats all have that smoke flavor you're wanting and cooked appropriately for the correct tenderness.

I have loved loved loved the food at this place and have recommended it to loads of people, but I have had bad food here more than once as well as others I know. Avoid the chicken and "dumplings" at all costs (temporary deal they are doing). The sauce isn't like it used to be (rib sauce) and the beans had zero flavor, pork had more fat than usual. Just really disappointed and I hope they get back on track cause the staff is super friendly and a tight knit fam. Come on guys, I'll come back if you up your game! :-)

It's ok, however when a business is titled with BBQ, the pulled products should have the bbq baked in it. The bbq they give on the side is vinegar based. That is another issue. If your bbq is vinegar based inform the customer, so we can choose not to waste. Or offer some without vinegar. That's not bbq sauce in the corner of bowl.
