The Ridge-Great Steaks and Seafood

I have to disagree with a few of these reviews.  I actually love the food from The Ridge, especially the steaks.  They cook them perfectly and you get high quality meats.  I have eaten here several times and sampled a variety of their side items which were all really good.  

The atmosphere is fun and live music with a variety of people young to old.  If you're coming for the food ask to be seated further away from the live entertainment and you'll be fine.  

The service here is always been awesome as well.  Very friendly and attentive. Great steakhouse.

I want so much to like this place. It isn't a chain, they have a live singer knocking out standards and Elvis (black Elvis is in the building), Steve the owner is nice and the location is great. The problem is, it just isn't good. Start with the place being so dark you can't see the menu without a flashlight. Not romantic dark - just dark like they are trying to hide something. My martini came cool - not cold. The second one was better. The food choices are good from a limited menu, but they are just plain bad. My wife had the ribs. Good flavor but cooked about 2 hours too long. They were dry and fell off the bone like plaster from a ceiling - in junks. I tried the shrimp and grits. There was so much BBQ sauce (an odd addition anywhere) I couldn't taste anything but the BBQ sauce that tasted like it came from a can. Our friends tried a couple of other items that ended up unfinished as well. Because of the music selection, this place draws an older crowd. Nothing wrong with that, but I get the impression they rely on the entertainer to draw clients rather than having decent food or lighting. Not pleasant and I don't recommend it.

Massive seating area, black Elvis impersonator, mediocre food that's overpriced... I don't think I left anything out.
