Listed in Southern Living as theRidgewood's pork is as good as it gets. Hickory-cooked hams are sliced and souped with a tangy, dark-red, slightly smoky sauce (available by the pint and quart near the cash register) and served as a platter, under a heap of terrific dark-gold French fries, or in a...

Enough said about the BBQ sandwich !!! Best pulled pork sandwich ever. Eaten a lot across the US. Impressed!!
Everything!! The blue cheese and crackers are the best!!
Great local BBQ ! I had the pork platter with blue cheese . Very good. Crowded , but great service.
Average BBQ at best. Both brisket & ribs are absent from the menu. Instead of pulled pork , they offer thin-sliced pork and beef , which is then fried, prior to being served, for some strange reason.
Great food and great service. You'll have to wait to get a table though.
If you go...order the pork sandwich with slaw and you must get a lil pot of beans! Love this place! :-)
One of the greats! Always slammed, but worth the wait. I like to get it to go.
For over 5 years, I lived in Memphis where I regularly experienced some of the best BBQ in the country . Overall, I would rate Ridgewood as an average BBQ establishment. No more. No less.
The beans and pork are Awesome!!! Don't waste the ketchup on the fries go with their BBQ sauce .
Shut up! Get your butt down to Bluff City and put some smokie thinly sliced pork (or beef ) sure enough Tennessee BBQ at Ridgewood in your mouth! You'll thank me later! Get yo PORK ON!
You cannot order ribs here, as they are absent from the menu. I would argue that you cannot have a "world class " BBQ establishment without having a "full rack of ribs " as an option on the menu.
Baked Beans were exceptional.
Good unique bbq . Usually long waits .
BBQ is wonderful but their baked beans are truly a standout item.
Really doesn't matter what you get, just make the drive. It's out of the way, but it's delicious and worth it! Read more
best value- ask for them to split a bbq platter for 2 people.
BBQ sandwich and Beans
Worth the wait!
Blue cheese dressing is awesome.
How can a place call itself a bbq restaurant if it only has two bbq sandwiches that are made the same way on a menu of fourteen items? Don't waste your time.
Blue cheese is AMAZING!!!
Try the Blue Cheese Bowl.
Awsome food. Yummy
Mmmmmmm Mmmmm
Hands down THE BEST BARBEQUE EVER! Definitely worth a visit especially for BBQ lovers! About 15 bucks for a huge sandwich , slaw , fries , beans and a drink.
It was okay, the salad is good, but personally it isn't my taste
Really, do you need a tip? Order the bbq .
Yummmmmmmm!
Yummm all around!
This is the best BBQ I ever had. You must try the pulled pork . You will never forget...
GO THERE = AMAZING

Wow, amazing BBQ . Portions are HUGE... 1/2 hr wait and parking all down the road when I went @ 1 on a Saturday
Paul M is a dork...its great. When u have a good product, you dont need variety.
Pulled pork sandwhich is a must!
Best BBQ around!!!!
sweet ass bbq .
The best BBQ in Tennessee .
The bbq beans are the best beans I've ever eaten. They go great with a pork sandwich & split an order of fries . There is simply no better BBQ .
Best BBQ in the world.
Great BBQ sandwich! Add extra sauce with the squeeze bottle on the table. - Bill Crane
A quaint place with 2 tables and a long bar along the front windows. The BBQ is fantastic with plenty of different sauces to go around. The fries and onion rings have a unique flavor as well. Love it! - Nathan Mays
It's absolutely beautiful, but make sure you bring food and drinks because you're there for a while. Definitely plan on going back. :) - Hannah Gore
