    This was our first visit and it was outstanding all the way around. The staff, including the owner, was super friendly and welcoming. We’ll be going back and taking friends. Lastly, it was nice to have dedicated parking in an area of town where parking can sometimes be hard to find

    Get a burger! We enjoyed the 80/20 burger with fries, dark meat chicken with potatoes and biscuit and gravy and a side of onion rings. Our physicians may not approve of that meal but our taste buds and bellies were happy. My husband and I like to order and share so I had a taste of everything. We both thought the burger was the star of the show but enjoyed everything very much. The chicken has a lot of breading and it was seasoned well and super crispy, the biscuit was fluffy and the gravy was well seasoned. The onion rings were well balanced with breeding and a generous portion. The only issue is that I like fries and onion rings fresh from the fryer and I think they came from under a heat lamp. The service was the very best part! As we were still placing our order the onion rings came out to the table, they have an electronic ordering system. There was so much staff working together that everything ran smoothly and quickly. Their Happy Hour can't be beat! We each had two drinks and my cocktail definitely packed a punch at a very reasonable price. We will definitely return to enjoy more of their menu and the Malt Shop attached to the restaurant.

    We did St; Valentines Day dinner at The Café, and it is one of our more memorable dining experiences. The scallop appetizer was stunning. We both had the lobster tails - yes two - really nice sized and extremely well cooked crustaceans. I would rate this place for special dinners a smidgeon better than Ramsays at the Casino. They have music on special occasion evenings and jazz on Sunday evenings. Great dining experience.

    Ramsi’s has a variety of around the world choices of meals. Each one has its own unique flavor from India, Italy, Ethiopia, Middle East and more. The vast flavor choices on the menu made us want to order one of everything! We cannot speak to all the waiters/waitresses, but Lauren was amazing! She has such an easy way of relating to customers and checks on things without inserting herself. She makes you feel like a regular even when you have never been and live so far away you might “not be this way again”. The portions are immense! We will eat for several days on what we brought home! Plus we will gladly enjoy the flavors each time!!!
