Ridgehill Tavern

Update: We tried this restaurant again last night and the experience was much better. The food was very good and the staff were knowledgable about their gluten free options and celiac. I really appreciated this visit. We had a great time and stayed for a couple of hours. It was a super busy night for them but we didn’t feel neglected at all. The front of house manager and the server were super attentive and everything was perfect. They definitely took in my previous review and there were some great changes from it! I appreciate it so much y’all. Original: My partner and I went before the Eagles game just for a couple of drinks and an appetizer. We definitely didn’t look like everyone else who was there which initially made me assume that was why service was so bad, but the other reviews seem to have the same issue so I guess it’s just poor management. We arrived right around 5pm on a Saturday and it was still pretty quiet. A few tables full, a couple people at the bar, nothing crazy. We ordered drinks and the bartender was super nice. I told her I didn’t like anything that tasted too alcoholy and she offered to make me something entirely new if I couldn’t find something on the drink menu. I asked about the Brie appetizer because it was labeled as “gluten sensitive” but also stated it came with crostinis - I wanted to see if there was an alternative to that since I have a gluten allergy. There wasn’t, so I just asked for the crostini to be on the side. I found it really odd that it was labeled “gluten sensitive” and was served with crostini…that shouldn’t be listed on the menu at all if that’s the case, but whatever. We waited 45 whole minutes for the appetizer to come out and the served crackers on the side. Not crostinis at all, just Carr table crackers. The runner asked why we wanted the crackers on the side and I said that I have a gluten allergy and he asked how severe. I explained that it’s celiac and he said “shit, I’ll remake it”. My dude, we just waited 45 minutes for you to tell me that the bartender didn’t note a gluten allergy and we have to wait longer for a new app to come out? Okay. 20 minutes later a fresh one came out with another set of Carr crackers on the side. The food was fine, but not worth over an hour wait. Management - y’all have to fix this. Multiple reviews are noting an extremely long wait for drinks and food. Your menu is confusing and honestly dangerous - if you’re noting “gluten sensitive” and including gluten filled crackers it’s not gluten sensitive at all. Figure it out. We really wanted to enjoy this place but it was just weird vibes all around. We’d love to come back when y’all improve.

They have really good gluten free pizzas!
