I agree with a prior review that states that the place was OK. I went expecting to have ribs and sadly they offer none. I had the shredded pork which was OK but nothing special. On the plus side the food is OK and cheap but there are better places for having a meal in Allentown. more

This is a old fashioned icecream stand and dinner. no frills. just good food and cheap prices compared to others. Some of the staff have been here for years and the pace is a bit slower but that is part of the charm. more

The best place for ice cream in the city - especially on the Sunday evenings when the car show is there. more

The food is great. However, go there expecting very slow and sometimes inattentive service, especially at the carryout counter...although ice cream from there is great. I recommend the Chicken Finger Platter...the barbecue sauce is amazing. more

The first time i ate at the ritz, i found the service very friendly and speedy. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere and is also very clean. The food is nothing fancy, but all homemade and reminds me of what my grandmother used to make. The prices are very reasonable. i couldn't believe that my favorite dish, the corn... more
