Perfect for breakfast before a hike. Staff was awesome, super friendly and service oriented. The food was great homemade breakfast. Eggs made to order. Donuts fresh at 11am and amazingly delicious. Would definitely visit again! read more

The food was really good. I had the steak sandwich and it was fresh and delicious. The waitress, sorry didn't get her name, was very personable and came out and checked on us several times. Sat outside and enjoyed the sun. Overall, very nice meal and very nice staff! read more

The food was simple and great. Best fried mushrooms ever! What stood out was the service. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. She doted on our kids and made it our favorite meal of our Hocking Hills weekend. Next trip, we will certainly be back. Make sure you save room for the homemade donuts! read more

Our server was Kelly, let me start out by saying, the food was great! however, this is obviously a "locals only" spot and we learned that quickly. My friend and I came in and were greeted with extremely rushed service and she seemed to forget we were there most of the time. She was joking around mainly with who I'm assuming were her regulars and treated us as if we were inconveniencing her. Sad to say we wont be back again!!! read more

We visited on a day when their water was shut off like 15 minutes after we were seated. But despite that hiccup, we had a great meal and our server was very kind and on top of everything, even if she was flustered by all of the things happening around her that were out of her control. We were doing some hiking and sightseeing in the Hocking Hills area, which is how we ended up here. We visited for lunch, and took a seat at one of their outdoor tables. The menu is your typical American food fare: hamburgers and meatloaf and sandwiches and salads. They have a kids menu, but the kids menu doesn't have cheeseburgers on it, so if your child wants a cheeseburger (as mine did), then you'll have to order a cheeseburger from the regular menu. I got the Poppi Burger which was topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions and provolone cheese. It was tasty. My husband got a salad which he liked, and my other child got mac and cheese, which looked like the Kraft mac and cheese from the yellow and blue box, but it was perfect because it was familiar, and kids just want familiar and not gourmet. We all enjoyed our meals and had a nice little lunch on the patio of Ridge Inn. read more

Super cute place. They sell local artist's art that's hanging on the walls. We randomly picked this place driving through. Had high ratings so why not? Apps: we got the corn bites. Was suppose to get chipotle ranch and reg ranch, no such luck. They got to the table hot! They were decent. Would have been nice to dip them in something. Food: I got the fish sammich, not on a bun as the menu said. Just showed up on toasted white bread. Hardly any tarter. Fries were good. Decent. Other order was the Ruben as that is what they are known for and the wife loves Ruben's. Came on the right bread lol. Meat was good but limited. Sweet potato fries were good. Waited over an hour from when we ordered. We were told it was going to be a wait when we came in. Honestly wasn't thinking an hour but I think there's only one person in the kitchen. Over all... decent. Nothing crazy good. Prob won't remember it in a week. But for 2 to eat, one soda, 2 meals and an app it was $30 so decently priced. read more

Food was average and portions were very small. I got the Shaved steak sandwich and the meat was a steakum from the grocery. Others got the fish dinner and it looked like gortons fish out of a box. Wife got the meatloaf and the portion looked like a prepackaged loaf. The Service was excellent and prices were fair. The interior was clean but run down with exit light exposing electric wiring.The Exterior landscaping made this place look closed. Wanted this to be great but not a top recommendation. read more

Food was tasty and reasonable, atmosphere and staff were great! Would definitely go back. read more

Staff was very friendly & happy to accommodate my Gluten Intolerance. Unfortunately I ended up with a turkey burger & sweet potato fries that were just ok & I left hungry as the portion was small. My husband had a bell pepper soup he did love & a chicken salad he said was excellent, but a little shy on portion as well. Waitress brought him a sample of a different soup just to try & that was sweet & he thought it was excellent as well. If you're looking for local while near-ish to Hocking Hills I recommend it giving it a try read more

Food was great!! Service was great! Cute little dinner! The homemade donuts are so good they sold out before we could get here!

We didn't know we could just seat ourselves, so we were standing there with regulars staring instead of just telling us. Took a long time for someone to take our drink order. They were out of the appropriate buns for their sandwiches. I like char on my burger, but this was a thick machine made patty with too much char. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

This place is Fantastic. We had dinner from there and the food is just excellent. Fresh and homemade. We liked it so much we went back the next day and ate inside. The place is clean and so cute. Our waitress was so nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came for brunch. Was super nice and friendly staff. Place was very clean and inviting. Food came out cooked perfectly. They have some awesome dessert options if it fits in your diet. Would recommend the Border Breakfast for a low carb healthy option that tastes amazing. read more

I stopped here for lunch with a friend while riding through Laurelville on our way to the Hocking Hills area. It was a warm and dry day in the middle of the week, and there were several other full tables on the patio. This is a basic, rural, nothing-fancy type of place, but I enjoyed the experience. The wait staff was super friendly and efficient, and we were never left unattended. My friend had a burger, and I ordered the fish sandwich. His burger looked big, and he said it was pretty good. One odd thing is that all of the burgers are served on Texas toast - my sandwich as well. Regarding the fish sandwich, it was made from a frozen filet, but was very tasty and the condiments were fresh. For an out-in-the-boonies lunch stop, this place is a good choice. read more

My husband and I were driving around the hocking hills yesterday and we luckily stopped here for lunch. The overall feeling of this restaurant is warmth. The employees there make you feel like you are their old friends. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! This local restaurant is definitely a "do not miss" in the hocking hills. read more

A wonderful diner in the middle of what could only be described as small town USA. Super cheap prices, large portions and friendly service... could you ask for anything else? They play oldies on the record player( yes they have a turn table!) and have dynamite specials throughout the week. We had breakfast which was delightful. I wish we would have been able to try their homemade donuts, but that is a weekend treat only. Make sure you search out this diner... it's worth it read more

Ate breakfast here over the weekend during our get away. Lemme just start off by saying if you are able to meet coco the cat, he will make your entire day so much better The hot mess breakfast was THE best thing I have ever eaten! Every single ingredient was fresh, the plating was so cute and the service was pretty fast! Our waitress was extremely sweet and if we are ever back in town we will be coming back! Oh and let's not forget the donuts. THE DONUTS WERE TO DIE FOR. You must try them if you stop by! read more

It went very good and the service and food was great. Pretty quiet place and very friendly servers. Free wifi as well. Bathrooms look cool.

Great food. Home cooked, lovely the service. Dessert are to die for. Easy to locate. We will come again

This is a quaint little place tucked away in Laurelville, Ohio, with some of the best home cooking you'll ever have outside your home. The staff treats you like family (service matters) and the portions are giant! Our waitress, Kelly, not only took care of us but she was knowledgeable of the surrounding area, and helped us learn of other places we might enjoy visiting. Then there's the homemade donuts! Oh. My. Word. Melt-in-your-mouth-GOOD! We will definitely visit again. read more

We stopped here for a bite after hiking. The food was amazing. I had the reuben with a side of mixed veggies and both were awesome. The veggies were so good that I wanted more and it was a large portion. Hubby had the beef philly and kettle chips and raved about his food too. Sister had the burger and onion rings and said they were great. A friend had a salad and fries and enjoyed hers too. I took home a slice of the lemon blueberry cake. It was not made in-house but was excellent. Our waitress, Kelly, was fast, efficient, and fun and could not have been nicer. We will all be going back there again. read more

This place was so cute! We're here for a weekend getaway and LOVED it. The food was hot, quick and the service was so friendly. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked in. If you're in town, stop by! read more

Awesome lunch at the Ridge Inn. If you're anywhere near Hocking Hills make sure you stop here for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Food tasted great! My wife had the veggie quesadilla and I had the steak sandwich. Both filled the plates and hit the spot. I had sweet potato fries and they were great as well. I couldn't pass up the peanut butter cheesecake and it didn't disappoint either! We somewhat randomly picked The Ridge Inn for lunch and were very happy we did! Easily will be our "regular" stop when heading to or from Hocking Hills! read more

The Ridge Inn Restaurant - Pb cheesecake - American Near Me - Laurelville, Ohio

Been looking at it for years & finally decided to give it a try. Food and service basically good but it was definitely slow food.

Everytime we would roll through Laurelville, I always say "we need to check this place out sometime". Well, we finally did & we're not disappointed. Server informed us that we could sit wherever we wanted so we opted to sit at a table made of hand carved wood that was beautiful & the perfect size for the two of us. We started with the corn nugget appetizer which were delicious & piping hot. We ordered pink lemonade to drink, the server said that they were having an issue with the machine & that if we didn't like it that she would get us whatever else we wanted to drink, but with a little bit of stirring, it was fine. I ordered the steak sandwich & he ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes. We both enjoyed our lunch & even ordered their homemade carrot cake for dessert which was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious donuts!!!! Staff was kind and courteous. I definitely will be coming back when we visit hocking hills again!

Me & my basset hound stopped here for lunch to go after a visit to Ash Cave...got the steak sandwich & some homemade donuts---sandwich was good, the donuts were amazing! The people were super friendly--they all came out while I was waiting on the patio to come & check out "the cute dog"! We swapped dog stories & my pup got a little snack from the owner. Cute restaurant & friendly staff, I'm so glad we stopped here read more

Delicious lunch, great service, homey atmosphere and super friendly staff. I had the Cobb salad and all ingredients were fresh and well presented. My husband had the wrap and he raved about how tasty it was. Not huge portions but the perfect size for lunch. Also, a cute little shop area by the bakery counter with beautiful wood items that I found out were handmade by a local veteran. As a bonus my husband couldn't resist getting a coffee and few donuts holes for the road. As we drove down the highway he was lamenting that he only had 6, they were so good. read more

Great staff and great food! We sat outside with our dog and they were so attentive to us and our dog. Wonderful place for a relaxing meal.

We were camping up the road at Spotted Horse Ranch, and the woman in the office there suggested coming here....glad we istened! BEST homemade donuts we've had in a LONG time! The night's special was crab cakes, so of course I got those, the man ordered a Steakhouse sandwhich (I think was the name of it!) and sister got the Bourbon Chicken. I've eaten m weight in crab cakes over the years, and these were DELICIOUS!!! I got another order to go! My man's sammich was superb, and sister's bourbon chicken rivaled any on a chinese menu! We were there on a Thursday night, so on advice from the owner, Jo (what a cool lady!) we ordered a dozen homemade donuts to be picked up hot and fresh that Friday morning. Now, my sister WARNED my man not to interfere with me and a donut .... maybe I'll upload a pic of the scar left on his hand when he tried reaching for a third....LOL Ya'll really need to check this place out! Truly that "STAR" in a one-stop-sign town! read more

Friendly and welcoming! We did lunch one day and made a point of returning for breakfast the next day. Everything we tried was excellent. We ate at several area restaurants during our visit. This was the best food by far, and we even returned the next day rather than try another place. The white chocolate blueberry cobbler cheesecake was truly spectacular, well worthwhile. This is a beautiful dining room with nice old wood, glazed tables. There was really beautiful local art on display as well. read more

This is the prettiest business in Laurelville, hands down!!! I've always enjoyed the food, and MEATLOAF MONDAY is my favorite day of the week! In response to the restrictions placed on restaurants and now on individuals due to the pandemic Corona Virus, The Ridge has just started delivery service!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!! They are making a huge effort to keep their staff working, while bringing us the food we love Homemade Donuts are made Thursday-Saturday, but you better call Wednesday to reserve yours - they're so good they often sell out!!! Now you can HAVE YOUR DONUTS DELIVERED!!! KUDOS TO JO AND HER HARD WORKING STAFF! read more

We stopped here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by our meals. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato fries; the food was tasty, reasonably priced, and seemed to use good-quality ingredients. My wife was similarly satisfied with her chicken quesadilla. While the menu is fairly basic and the food wasn't exceptional, for a relaxing lunch after some hiking in the area it was just what I needed. read more
