My husband & I happened upon this wonderful place for breakfast while on our vacation. The food was amazing. He got the Knox omelette, which was smoked trout, portabella mushrooms, carmelized onions & cheese. “Fantastic” were his words! I got the French toast with blueberry sauce & a side of corned beef hash. Absolutely delicious! The coffee was perfect. Our waitress was attentive & friendly with a beautiful smile. We will definitely be back to this gem when we are in the area. Thank you for a great breakfast to the staff at Ridgetop!

Ridgetop restaurant is back and it is better than ever. New Management in a similar feel. The food is good and so is the service. Their old slogan was "best meals for miles" and it is indeed the case. The menu is somewhat limited but has all the country standards you would expect with the addition of an excellent jerk chicken. Soft serve and hard serve takeout window for ice cream. Hamburgers do not seem to be on the menu, but are often run as a special and they are excellent. I hope the menu expands a bit over time, but they have only been open for a few months. Glad to have them back!

This restaurant is a gem! I will definitely be back because there were so many things on the menu that sound delicious. Easily the best French toast I've had, and the curry tofu was so yummy. AND the coffee was nice and strong.
