KellyKelly: House pan roast is to die for! Grab a friend to share it with though, the portions are gigantic. Kids menu had a good selection of both "kid food" and more grown up selections for bigger kids.

Mae W.Mae Wuwongse: Ritter's is great, hearty, comfort food. I always get the house pan roast, spicy level 8. I could eat that every day. I have also tried his clan chowder that is also thick and perfectly seasoned.

Kristine A.Kristine Armosilla: The food is good but the service really sucks. It took an hour to get seated and once we were seated it took 30 mins to even get bread and water when other tables were immediately served.
