Ridge View BBQ

My husband picked up dinner for us on Thursday, June 23, 2016. My husband said his pulled pork was ok, I ordered the brisket, and it was just ok. I think the reason I didn’t care so much for the brisket was the sauce. It was nasty! The mac n cheese was ok, Cole slaw was very bland, and potato salad was ok, a little too sweet for my liking. Doubt that we’d order from here again.

I love this place. Awesome bbq. Good potato salad and baked beans. Very friendly staff. I always ask for rib sauce on my bbq instead of the regular sauce they put on it. Tastes more like the original bbq sauce that other places use.

Went to WVSU for two years, now transferring to Marshall University, and this place is what I’m going to miss most about state. I ate here so many times I honestly couldn’t count and when I heard they were super clean it was the icing on the cake. The chicken tender salad was my go to, but everything here is good. Such a friendly staff too! I’ll be visiting on occasion from Huntington

They make a hamburger with pulled pork on top. YUM!!! Super gluttonous, super delicious!

I liked this place a lot and will be coming back. The BBQ sandwich had plenty of meat and slaw and was very tasty. The potato salad was great and well as the bake beans but I would avoid the mac n cheese. This is much than barnyard in cross lanes so if you’re in the area and looking for bbq this is the place to go to.

We eat here usually once a week and the food is always amazing. This is true BBQ and never disappoints! The fresh squeezed lemonade instantly takes me back to my fair/​festival days! I only wish they were open longer or more hours! Only place in the Kanawha Valley that has smoked turkey!

Ok peeps, heres the skinny on the RIDGE… I like this place and I eat here often. probably twice a week. This week had a problem. I am disappointed in the way management handled a complaint. I ordered the 2 briskets to go. Got home and began to eat. The sides were good, but the brisket was 2 SALTY to eat. So I called them and explained to them that the brisket was to salty to eat. He explained to me that they rubbed the brisket with salt and seasonings. I know that I am a cook. I know how to cook brisket and smoke meats. But appears that we got the last of the brisket that had soaked in the juice which was LOADED with SALT. We could not eat it because it was so SALTY. I lost 20.00 on food I could not eat and he did not offer to replace the food. BAD management decision. I will give it 1 more shot. I really like this place, but if they charge me again for food that is not edible, I will have to make my voice heard by making a personal appearance in the restaurant and ask for a refund. I am in shock they did not offer to replace the meal. They Knew it was too salty to serve/​sale. But the oh mighty profit got in the way of their normal quality food. I will be back after I eat there again next week for an updated FULL review.

Nice and clean. My husband & I ordered the pull pork platters. The pull pork was cold and tasted as it had soaked in water. The BBQ sauce was bland. The bun was cold and the corn muffins were cold. Maybe they need to invest in a warmer since so many items we ordered was cold.
We will not be coming back.

BBQ was the real deal, very very good. I did think that the pork shoulder used in the pulled pork had aged a bit more than it should have before cooking and the place was very, very small and disorganized. Felt like a shed converted into a restaurant. People were nice and they were trying hard.

Very good food, smoked NOT pressure cooked like too many in the area. Very friendly staff. Fries and BBQ is to die for!

I had a BBQ sandwich Saturday & it was delicious.

Only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is the limited number of sauces they have… I like to try several different regional sauces on my Q. I’ve visited this store about 10 times. Excellent ribs smoked out front, the aroma draws you in like a moth to a flame!!! Try both of their homemade sauces, I like to mix them. Not just catering, stop in and pick up dinner, I do about once a week. BBQ Pork sandwich is almost enough for 2. Directly across from WVSU.
