Ridge View BBQ

My husband and I went here for a late lunch today. We were met with a clean restaurant and smiling faces behind the counter. We ordered our food and it was reasonably priced, we waited about 4 minutes for it. Pulled pork was delicious and the sides were up there with it. My husband had the brisket sandwich and really enjoyed it as well. This wasn't my husbands first time but it was for me, I was impressed overall with the friendliness and fast service. The quality of the food was fabulous and portion sizes were pretty mighty. Thank you!

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.

First time getting food here. Went thru the drive thru so cannot comment on the atmosphere. Drive thru service quick with friendly staff. The bbq sauce was delicious. These meats however were so chewy: pulled pork, brisket so tough that we threw it away. The chicken wings should slide right off the but they were so tough it was like chewing rubber. Threw those away, as well. The ribs were excellent. Tender and came right off of the bone. Probably will not return unless it is for the ribs. So disappointed 😞

Our visit-- the 328th 'cue stop across 35 states-- proved largely disappointing. While the restaurant is open for lunch, it is drive-through only at the dinner hour. So, we ended up eating the Friday special-- a 4 meat/ 4 side platter-- at our hotel. There was a lot of food here for $24.93 plus tax, with a bag of pork rinds and an apple crisp bringing the bill up to $36.02. For the meats, we chose brisket, ribs, pulled pork and Italian sausage, and for the sides corn muffins, coleslaw, green beans, and mac 'n cheese. The pork rinds were great, but the heavily sauced ribs proved mushy and bland. The Italian sausage was unremarkable, but the pulled pork was a very tasty bite that we would order again without hesitation. The 4 sides and the apple crisp weren't bad, but there was nothing memorable about any of them. This leaves the brisket, which is the epicenter of the BBQ universe. This was sliced too thick, lacked a pink ring, bark and discernible seasoning, and whatever smokiness it might have once possessed vanished beneath a slathering of sauce. Texture and flavor profile alike called to mind buffet roast beef with sauce added. So, if you dine here, our recommendation is that you go with the pulled pork, and sides of coleslaw and corn muffins.
