Ritchie's Backyard BBQ 577 South West Street, Piketon, OH 45661

"Used to be pretty good but has definitely went down hill. You never really lnkw what you are going to get as the food is always cooked differently maybe different pizza crust from week to week. Only the person that takes your takeout order on the phone can ring you out when you come to pick it up so you may wait 20 minutes for them to finish doing whatever they are doing. Many times i show up my quoted 25 minutes and sit and wait another 25 minutes on my food."

"This is the third time I asked for extra bar b que sauce with my take out orders only to discover NONE, when I got home. When I asked this time the waitress asked if I wanted it poured on them to which I said, "yes, and some extra on the side". Not only did I not get either but there was hardy any on the wings themselves. Not a happy customer!!"

"Service was excellent. One girl at the counter even stopped out my son's ice cream with a small spoon because the ice cream scoop was dirty. The food was great. It came out hot, fresh & correct."

"Every time I go, I get The Pit Boss. It’s the absolute best thing you’ll ever eat. All of their food is amazing though. The owners are the sweetest people ever, and the staff is always friendly and helpful."

"Burger time! Following a service call in Piketon, I find myself at Ritchie's for lunch. Several locals are here, so that's always a good sign. Since I travel for work 100%, I get to find new places all the time. The menu here is quite extensive, but the Pit Boss burger got my attention. Double patty, brisket, pulled pork and bacon. It comes with the usual pairing of fries and a Pepsi. Yeah, this thing is huge. I should have cut it in half and taken it with me for later. Although the burger was a tad overcooked, it was juicy and overall an excellent burger. The shoestring fries weren't perfectly crisp, but also were not limp either. I used the available bbq sauce on the counter for both fries and bites of my burger. The bun always benefits better when you toast it....I'm staying in Columbus, 1.5 hours away, otherwise I'd come again for sure. I hear the tacos on Wednesday are great, and the guy next to me had a big basket of boneless wings I'd get also. There's plenty of brews on tap, and a very surprisingly higher end shelf of burbon. This place looks like a lot of fun on the weekends. There's plenty of room and an outdoor patio. If I can get back here again, I will. Ritchie's is..... Maloy Approved"
