I grew up near here and when I was a kid, Ritzee was a HUGE treat. People didn't go out to eat back then as much as we do now. I haven't been home in many years. I had to come to town for a funeral, and I was amazed to see that it was still here! This place is fantastic. No gimmicks. Just good old American style burgers and fries. The offer breakfast now, as well. I don't think that they did in the 70s. read more

The gals at the window are great. The burgers are great old fashioned hamburgers and they are willing to do an Arnold Palmer without complaint. read more

Great fast food., service is great too Wish the dining room was open. I always try to stop by to get a quick lunch on Saturdays. read more

Great place to eat me and my girl go there to eat a lot. I get the double cheeseburger basket meal. She get the chicken strips meal fried mushrooms. read more

Nothing you can't do at home. Just convince food. I wish they used hamburger instead of frozen burgers. Homemade sloppy joes instead of manwitch. Mac and cheese is powdered Kraft. My dad talks highly about this place but I was disappointed. This place just reminds me of box food central. It will do if you're in a pinch and can't go home to cook yourself. At least the food is fresh every time. read more

Have been going there since early 2000s and they have always been a great food choice and the workers are very friendly.

Great food. No dining room, which is a shame!!!! I don't predict they will be able to make it.

Good hamburgers, fries were good, so so on the onion rings. Will be going back to try other items.

I got the all in one sandwich, it was okay, I was told it was a great sandwich by someone and it just wasn't so for my taste. There is no ambience because it's drive-thru only. For drive-thru - the service was okay. read more

I been to ritzee three time with in a week for they turkey bacon and cheese sandwiches great but I make combo everytime but the first time didn't put in one the over charge me and third time I order a ritzee burger as well extra everything combo and my turkey and notice no fires before I left I didn't see the burgers until I got back to work and my mom told me about her burger so we will not order from there for while Amanda read more

Great hot fries and burgers. Carry out only and it was old timely like but everything was hot. So if you're seeking a basic burger for cheap, this is the spot. read more

Must be a hometown favorite. Received our food super fast. Fries super hot just out of the fryer. Crispy on the outside, creamy inside. A ton of them! They were perfect. Burgers were okay. Hit the spot. Not sure about being the best around as we regularly go to a burger place that has one of the best burgers in Michigan so every burger we get anywhere else is compared to what we get there (Laura's Burger Joint in Decatur). This didn't measure up. Looks like a school cafeteria burger. It did taste better than a cafeteria burger. We thought the burgers were okay. Fine for a quick stop, pick them up and if you are from out of town go down the road to the arboretum and have an in-car meal with a nice view. I wouldn't not go again - but I wouldn't really go out of my way either. Except maybe for the fries. read more

The best olive burgers in town! Honestly every thing is absolutely delicious and perfect every time I go. Service is top notch and the food is always perfect and done correctly. I love the ambiance of the building because it's not modern it's older in a good way reminds you of how life was before all the fancy stuff. read more

I've only ever gone through the drive thru and it's never been too long of a wait. I enjoy their bacon double cheeseburgers, they come plain so you'll want to let them know everything you'd like on it. Their chili dogs are simple yet delicious. read more

Absolutely love their burger and fries. Old school goodness. Interior of restaurant is a throwback to the 70's but very well maintained and clean. Drive through is quick. read more

79 cent mini hamburger. Great food for the price. We've tried several of the burgers, fries, fried mushrooms, chicken strips and shakes. The kids love it. Burger are just their size and so much cheaper than kids meals. Definitely worth trying. read more

Great burgers and they are reasonably priced. I just wish they would open the lobby again.

The people was. Very nice the food was good I would go back the sights was very good from Kalamazoo

Great food, fast and cheap. Service is friendly and my order is always right. I have eaten the burgers here for 37 years so I think I can vouch for them. Another favorite is the breakfast all-in-one sandwich. Bacon is delicious on it but sausage is my favorite! Don't be deterred if there's a line in the drive through- it moves quick and it's worth it! read more

Reminded me of my high school cafeteria burger. Pass on this one. Not sure why the dining area inside has not reopened yet.

Burgers and onion rings were great. Fries we're just okay. Drive Thru only when we were there. Service was quick.

Ritzee's is a block west of the Urbandale Speed's, it's closest competitor in the area. Unlike Speed's, Ritzee's is counter service. Once you order and pay at the counter, you find a table or booth and someone brings the prepared food from the kitchen. The more complicated the order, the longer it takes. We generally get a couple of 1/2 lb. cheeseburgers (Ritzburgers) and fries and that takes 5 - 10 minutes. The decor is strictly 1970's with a lot of photographic memorabilia about Battle Creek. The booth we typically pick still has the remnants of a "No Smoking" label on the table (dating back to those fond days when dining rooms were divided between those that were compelled to smoke during a meal and those that didn't or wouldn't). It's classic diner food that is satisfying because it is hot and filling rather than imaginative or flavorful. The protein in the burgers is not seasoned (which we consider an idiotic practice, considering how many different seasoning mixes are available. We put together a seasoning mix whch we store in our shelves at home for when we make burgers. It's made of things readily available - so, sorry, no star anise - and it makes the burgers much more flavorful. It's one of the reasons we WILL drive to Back to the 50's in South Haven because the owner's seasoning of his protein is spot on). The fries are traditional krinkle fries without seasoning. Milk shakes are ice cream blended with milk so only a moron could mess up that recipe. The food is okay, nothing more. Going to Ritzee's is a matter of convenience rather than a spot I will drive to. I will say that prices are very, very reasonable. Service is generally good. Because of the order we prefer, we are advised at least once, if not twice, that it'll take so many minutes for our order to come up. And that's fine. We don't come to Ritzee's in a rush to eat. So, of course, I don't understand who would go to Ritzee's using the drive through. Just because a restaurant has a drive through doesn't mean the restaurant is equipped to use it appropriately. Ritzee's is like fast food much like Panera's is like fast food. The punch line is: They really aren't. As with any Panera, I'd go in, order, pay, grab a chair, and wait for my take out order to be picked up. I would never expect Ritzee's to churn out an order as fast as a McDonald's. read more

Enjoyed the fish night before COVID hit Hope they bring fish night in the future They have good food all way around

Classic. I've been here just once, but it brought back nostalgic memories of the now defunct Humdinger Restaurant (Portland, Oregon) that sold delicious, simple burgers for less than a buck each. I remember eating lots of them as a kid. Ritzee's sign says "79 cent hamburgers", so I figured I'd give it a shot and see if they were similar to my childhood favorites. Got a bag of two mini burgers and two mini cheeseburgers and a soda for less than $6. They were yummy and cheap and brought back the memories of my past. They get an extra star here for nostalgia - the food is simple and not gourmet, but it works for me. Will be back for sure! read more

This is a classic old style burger joint on the West Side of Battle Creek. Ritzee has been in business since I can remember. They serve burgers, dogs, fish, chicken strips, and other fast food. They also serve breakfast. The burgers and dogs are average, but the fries are fantastic. They serve the best crinkle fries that I have ever consumed. Overall this is a pretty good burger stop with character. It sure beats getting the same old chain food. read more

This place has fed our community for alot of years struggling to keep open. Quality food. Plumming problems 60k. When they ask 4 our help please donate. read more

The interior of this restaurants reminds me of the old school mcdonalds from the 80's with the stained glass. It's. Pretty sweet looking. It may be dated, but adds to the flare of this restaurant. I stopped in for lunch and picked up an olive burger combo with an extra cheese burger to go. The fries are ordinary crinkle cut, and not over salted. The amount you get it ridiculous! The to go bag was full of them! BRAVO! The olive burger was delicious and the same for the cheese burger. Nice sized patties and a great price! This is quite the little gem here in Battle Creek. read more

I love Ritzee... An old fashioned burger joint. Fusion of café and fast food. Burgers, fries, shakes and stuff, this is about as good as that gets. Low employee turnover for this type of business. Must be doing something right. If you come in right after a rush, the staff may seem overwhelmed and the dinning room might not be spotless but that is not the norm... As long as they are cooking, we will be eating there. AYCE spaghetti on Wednesday and AYCE fish fry Friday. The first time we came in was breakfast, we are now regulars read more

The fries are amazing!!! The burgers and the milkshakes are great too. Great diner food and at a really great price. read more

Ritzee was our go-to fast food growing up in Battle Creek. While visiting town my parents and I went to the last remaining location (the other two closed a decade or two ago) so the nostalgia likely influences my rating. We went for lunch on a Tuesday, you order at the counter and grab a booth and they bring food out. The inside of this location has not changed much in 30 years. Ritzee has a wide range of burgers, chili dogs, sandwiches and a lot of other stuff I did not remember. I ordered a chili dog, Oliver burger and fries. My mom got a BLT and my dad ordered the chicken sandwich. The food came out in less than ten minutes. The chili dog was every thing I recalled, the chili sauce was rich and savory, the bun held up to the dog/sauce and flavor was great. The olive burger was just OK (there used to be better ones in BC), now the crinkle cut fries were outstanding as always. I will not be back in BC as often now that my parents have left but I do hope this place keeps going and that life grants me a few more visits for a chili dog fix! read more

The all in ones are my favorite from ritzee(bun, egg, bacon, hash brown I like mine with cheese). We've always had good service.

Good classic burgers and crinkle cut fries for a fair price. Drive through was prompt.

Pretty standard burger, with a really cool retro twist. I love the pink neon, the huge larger than life sign that tells us who they are. I have never gone in this place, for fast food I typically opt for drive through, but maybe we should try going in next time because the complaints that people have about the long waits are true. They were nice enough, but when you use a drive through, you hope for some speed. The burgers are good, no frills, the chicken strips for my son were decent. The fries were pretty good as well, very well seasoned which isn't always the case. So I want to love this place, but in all I can only fall in like with them. read more

Makes you feel like family, best diner burger in bc. Cant wait to bring family back and friends.

I usually love coming here, but the last 2 trips have been nothing short of terrible. They can never get my breakfast right anymore!

Very pleasant experience. Staff was nice and helpful. Clean, just dated. Enjoyed the burgers, onion rings, and chicken strips. Thank you for a wonderful lunch, we will be back. read more

Home of the World Famous All-in-One breakfast sandwich. If you have never been to this beloved Battle Creek institution, get thee to Ritzee tomorrow AM for an All-in-One. Fried egg, hash brown, and crispy bacon between two sesame seed hoagie rolls. The best breakfast sandwich you will ever find under one 79 cent hamburger roof. I've never had their burgers, and I hear that people come from miles away for their Friday Night Fish Fry, but I give Ritzee four stars solely for their All-in-One. read more

We were driving through Battle Creek heading home and we were starting to get hungry. As I turned a corner my car was filled with an awesome scent (glorious BACON). And there was Ritzee. So we went in and were greeted with a smile. The lady behind the cash register was very happy and seemed genuinely happy to be there. We placed our order and she made sure we ordered exactly what we wanted. The food was made and delivered quickly and was exactly what we ordered. The food was awesome (great burger). I would recommend this place to everyone. Battle Creek should be very proud to have a place of this caliber in their city. AWESOME FOOD. AWESOME PEOPLE read more

You know that Ma and Pa burger joint with the good burgers, fresh crinkly fries and handmade shakes that you try to find in each town you visit? Congratulations! You've found it! I've heard the chili dogs are fantastic but I had a mini cheeseburger, fries mad chocolate shake. Just what I remembered. A Battle Creek tradition since I was a kid - over 20 years ago, it's still what you remember. read more
