What User likes about Ridgewood Barbecue:
Rated Legendary by Roadfood.com, Ridgewood does not disappoint! You can plainly see the smoke on the thin-sliced beef, which tastes like a heavenly less-salty beef bacon. The fries are obviously freshly natural-cut. They are some of the best fries ever. Easily worth the 30-min detour off the Interstate. If you?re in Bristol Tennessee for NASCAR, of course you will stop. But even if your in Memphis or Durham, it?s sti... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Ridgewood Barbecue:
BBQ got my friend was okay. The catfish I had was decent. This was our first visit after we had heard many positive things, but I would definitely not drive out of the way to eat here again. They were incredibly busy and the parking was packed, so many people seem to enjoy it. They only serve pork or beef BBQ, I would like a chicken option. Her claw was delicious. View all feedback.

Blue cheese and plain crackers as an appetizer... WHAT!? That's what I thought til I ate it. Oh yeah! I'll be back asap! BBQ is some of the best I've ever had.

Ridgewood offers legendary barbecue that lives up to the hype. The thin-sliced beef is a heavenly delight, while the natural-cut fries are some of the best ever tasted. Traditional homemade dishes like beans and slaw impress, and the unique sliced BBQ brings a flavorful twist. The staff is friendly and efficient, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The blue cheese is a must-try, and the sauce is sweet but not overpowering. Located off the beaten path, Ridgewood is a gem worth visiting, especially for those craving authentic Southern flavor. Overall, a solid choice for a memorable barbecue meal.

Probably the best grill I've ever eaten! Big portions, delicious sides. The house made Blue Cheese is OUTSTANDING! The service was also super friendly.

I have to be completely honest, the service was excellent, staff was friendly, but the food was absolutely inedible for myself or my wife. The meat on our barbe...
