The Ridley

I was so looking forward to this upscale cuisine. Very disappointed with my dinner. No flavor whatsoever and everything was bland. The cornbread was the best thing ever. Go and enjoy cornbread and some water. The Arnold Palmer that I order was very weak. Black owned restaurants are known for their ice tea and lemonade. Not this one. That will be a no. The only upscaled item I had today was my bill. Even the presentation of my dinner plate did not speak volume as well as the taste. I drove over an hour to be disappointed 😢.

Super slow service, took us forever to get our food and by then it was cold. The cornbread had a truly baffling amount of butter on it and ended up being the only highlight of the meal. Fried chicken was dry and flavorless, creamed corn tasted like butter and water, and salmon portion was comical for the price.

Absolutely amazing spot. Everything I have tried here is delicious, vibe is solid, bartenders are great. Isaiah took great care of us and went above and beyond to make the experience fantastic. Would definitely recommend this place. The cornbread and Cajun pasta are must tries. They also have an incredible breakfast.

Today was my first time at the Ridley and it won't be the last. My server, Savanna provided great service and made sure we were taken care of along with Bridget. The food was amazing!!! I don't think I will ever come across a cornbread skillet that comes close to the greatness at the Ridley. I also had, the pasta, beet salad, and rise and shine cocktail. All were a 10 out of 10!

The cornbread was the best I've ever had. The pasta was heavy on the garlic taste but it was still very good. Dessert was plain. Overall we had a very good experience and would most certainly go back!
