Cafe at The Ridge

Beautiful little spot in the hills. Came at breakfast time. Had the chicken fried steak and eggs. It was delicious. The nursery was where we spent alot of money. They have a large selection of plants and trees. The baked goods looked delicious but we were filled up from the breakfast we had.

I love their smothered chicken and sautéed spinach and grilled vegetables. Their fried green tomatoes are perfectly seasoned and slightly tart….absolutely delicious! We also shared a piece of pie for dessert. We enjoyed listening to Kay O’Neill while we ate. This restaurant is reasonably priced…a nice dinner for 4 under $100. They have nice atmosphere to take guests.

Where do I begin? Great, relaxed atmosphere, great service, and great food. Everyone in our party had something different with zero leftovers and no complaints. When you're done eating, stick around for dessert. After dessert, hed out back and enjoy the decorated backyard area and amphitheater, or peruse the nursery and gift shop. Really a great place that's more of an experience than just a meal.

Have been coming here for years. Brought a friend in to share it with him because I love the ambience and the food is always so good. The servers are lovely and provide great service. Today, however, my friend and I were treated to a disgusting spectacle from who we learned is the general manager berating every server to the horror of the dining room. No person should have to put up with this kind of behavior where they work. You could see them running around with fear in their eyes. We addressed this issue with him directly following our meal. No apology. No acknowledgment of his behavior. Just a few sarcastic “okays.” Were it not for the great food and service, this would be a one star review.

Beautiful spot, great food, nice gift shop - something for everyone! We came out to grab lunch, but ate so much that we needed a walk. Toured through the gorgeous grounds (might have fought like children over the teeter-totter!), stopped in the gift shop (found the cutest bracelet!), strolled through the nursery (bought a new Mexican flame vine for my yard!), then decided we'd walked enough to make room for dessert, so headed back inside for shop different baked goods. Whew!
