The Ridge Eat & Drink 3325-201 Rocky Ridge Plaza, Vestavia Hills, AL 35243

"The food was spectacular, me and my boyfriend loved every single thing we got. However, I didn’t give it 5 stars because nobody sat us down when we walked in. We were just kind of standing around while people were staring at us. Also it’s not that they weren’t friendly, they just didn’t really smile or make eye contact. Restaurant was kind of plain and boring too. Anyways, the actual food was great and we’d come back to eat here! Also beware, entrance a little odd.. had to park and walk up a stairwell to get there. It’s kind of tucked away in the corner."

"Jake was our server and he made us feel at home. My parents were with us and so was our little boy (toddler), and everyone had a great experience. Jake helped us laugh it off when little man got a hold of the balsamic vinaigrette dressing cup and…you know…He also gave us great advice on the menu options and he was spot on with his advice. He was just more than you would expect from such a fun, casual place…super professional. And of course, the food was great, and it’s such a local favorite. Just a fun family kind of environment, with great selections and a good vibe. And thanks Jake for taking care of our family so well!"

"1st time dining here, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We dined on gameday, so the TV's were a plus for my husband lol. He enjoyed the chicken quesadilla, a little spicy but seasoned to perfection. My bestie enjoyed a burger with tots. She loved it, and I tried the Peruvian beef over fries.. absolutely delicious! A friend recommended this restaurant after dining here, following our bonus wedding reception downstairs from the restaurant. We'll definitely dine here again!"

"So me and my cousin Jay went and tried a place we had never been to before and we are so glad we did. This restaurant we went to is called The Ridge Eat & Drink. Guys when I tell you we took a shot in the dark I mean a complete shot in the dark. I have never heard of this place and I have never once heard anyone talk about going here. The only reason I found this place was because I Googled places to eat in Vestavia because we were going to the movies right after. When we first walked in we both instantly thought um we don't belong here... however staff was extremely nice and super helpful. I forgot our waiters name but he did a great job. He came when he needed to and didn't stalk us. He was very helpful with recommendations and we even found out they make all their sauces from scratch. We tried the Cahaba Sauce, BBQ sauce, white sauce, and homemade ranch all very good and unique. I suggest you try them all those were just a few we tried. So let's get to the food. We tried the chili cheese tater tots and as you can see these are not your standard chili cheese tots. The chili was freaking amazing it had the consistency of a sloppy Joe. Like this was a meaty and delicious chili sauce (no it didn't taste like sloppy Joe) the cheese was not what I was expecting to see but was very good and the tater tots themselves were very crispy and delicious! 4 out of 5 The wings I mean I explained the sauce and ranch already so you know lol. 5 out of 5 Pimento cheese grits. Look I'm not a pimento cheese person like at all and maaaaaaaaan them grits hit the spot very cheesy, well seasoned and just chefs kiss. If you are a pimento cheese person and like grits you'll love these. 5 out of 5 The corn dog. No lie we literally got this as a joke because it was 12 inches... I mean a foot long so I said we need to see it. Of course we tasted it. It was a standard corn dog not really missing much could have been better. But yeah 12 INCHES! 3 out of 5 The burgers. My cousin had the blue cheese bacon burger. He claimed it was the best blue cheese bacon burger he has ever had. I had a standard cheese burger. It was very good very juice but in my opinion lacked some seasoning but still good. 4 out of 5 Fries were good and crispy and well seasoned. 5 out of 5. Sauces were a 4.5 out of 5 All in all this place was great I will be back and I want you all to check it out. This place as a whole gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me and more people need to know about it. Go check this place out!"
