Ralph's American Grill

We ordered the lug nut tater tots as an appetizer and they were the size of semi truck lugs which I thought was pretty cool. For my meal I ordered Ralph's melt and at first I thought it was over cooked but as I started eating it the meat was cooked perfectly. The general atmosphere was really nice and it was great seeing the nascar memorabilia. I would definitely visit again.

Was on a road trip & stopped off here for lunch. Great place to have a sandwich & fries. Really enjoyed my lunch. The food was fresh & the fries were hot & crispy. The server was great! The decor is fun too. My only reason for not giving five stars is that it took a while for the food to arrive at our table. Other than that, I would definitely eat here again. Great food & atmosphere!

Yelp considers 3-stars Okay. This is a 2.5 Star review; almost okay.I tried to order a non-alcoholic beer, cheeseburger and side salad.- Non-alcoholic beers are not stocked, so I drank water.- It took 18 minutes to deliver a side salad. The ingredients were fresh, but smashed absolutely flat in the bowl as-if books had been placed on top of it.- My burger arrived ~25 minutes after ordering, looking very good. I ordered medium rare, it arrived well done. Poor beef flavor. Weird, mealy mouth feel. Perhaps I was served a vegan burger?- Although Ralph's is attached to the hotel, it is not possible to bill a meal to the hotel room.- The poor guy seated at the same time, next to me ... waited 36 minutes for salmon. The waiter and someone from the back kept apologizing for the delay, explaining that salmon takes a long time to cook. No, it does not ...- Stools at the bar were made in a metal fab shop - not kidding. Very, very heavy and difficult to move.Will I return? Very unlikely.

The restaurant is wonderfully themed to a local large trucking organization. I stopped in for dinner. The star of the meal had to be the amazingly efficient and delightful waitress who made sure to communicate well throughout the meal. The chili was the star of the evening followed closely by the delicious hot chicken on the Mac and cheese. The menu outside the restaurant stated the dish also contained fried pickles which were missing both from the interior menu and the dish, however they were not necessary. The nachos were extremely cold, the steak was cooked well on top but was also quite cold. Possibly using beer cheese resulted in lowering the temperature of the dish quickly on the way to the table but it was still a wonderful meal.

I had a good experience at Ralph's American Grill. Upon entering, the hostess greeted us kindly and promptly escorted us to our seats. After a long 10-hour drive, we requested the big plush booth, and it was perfect for us to relax.The restaurant features a fully stocked large bar, which adds to the inviting ambiance. We started with the Wednesday special of five wings for five dollars - a staple and affordable appetizer.For our main courses, we ordered the Greenwood Shop Salad, which included romaine, applewood smoked bacon, cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, avocado, and blue cheese with dressing reminiscent of Ken's. It was fresh and healthy.We also enjoyed the Rigatoni Pasta, served with commercial pomodoro sauce, moonshine onions, red pepper flakes, and shaved Parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch, topped with a grilled chicken breast.The highlight of our meal was Ralph's Gourmet Pot Roast. The braised beef was tender and flavorful, paired with roasted root vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes, all covered in a rich brown gravy.All dishes were large portions with enough to take back to the hotel. Throughout the meal, we sipped on cold, bubbly, and refreshing Mr. Pib. The coffee, although hot and full of caffeine, was a bit flavorless.Overall, Ralph's American Grill provided good service, a welcoming atmosphere, and satisfying food

Dined here again this past weekend with a party of 9 (location wasn't our decision). Have to say the service was much better. Water glass was kept full and appetizers were brought out quickly with individual plates. Ordered the turkey reuben. Flavor was okay. I liked the marbled rye but husband prefers dark rye or pumpernickel. Fries were as good as the previous visit, appreciate the consistency.

There aren't a lot of great places to stop, sit down, and have a nice meal between Cincinnati and Columbus. My family and I recently discovered Ralph's American Grill, about halfway along the 100-mile drive between the two cities. They are a self-proclaimed tribute to the trucking industry and feature decor reflecting the area's rich history in transportation, including the nearby R+L Carriers.For my meal, I opted for the Nashville sandwich, with a spicy fried chicken breast, coleslaw, pickle, and mayo on a toasted bun ($13.95 with choice of side). The coleslaw was particularly good I thought, and the chicken was well seasoned and not overly spicy.My wife had the paramount pulled pork sandwich topped with BBQ sauce, coleslaw, cheddar cheese, and fried onions on Texas toast ($13.95 with choice of side). This was also a pretty good sandwich, though quite messy.My kids sampled the Mack (truck) & cheese ($4.99) and the Bavarian-style pretzels with beer cheese, honey mustard, and everything cream cheese dip ($9.95). They also have a nice beer list featuring beers from Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus.

The restaurant itself seems like a really cool space. We were seated right away on a Thursday evening. It was later in the evening, so it wasn't as busy.The beer list is rotating and seems to offer a good selection of local beers. They're very generous with the beer too, as the sizes are either 16 oz or 22 oz.I ordered the Fish & Chips for my entree. It was pretty lackluster. The fish was already a bit soggy and the fries tasted stale. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive. Everyone who worked at Ralph's seemed to be great!

I got the Mack and Cheese with Nashville chicken. I'm from the south, so this dish is... not cheesy enough. Sauce lacked flavor though it had a spicy kick to it. Still ate it all because I didn't have time to reorder something else. My family members burgers were delicious though. Shared a shake and carrot cake which were heavenly! Ambiance here is great.

What a cool place...This is a cool place with an R and L trucking/NASCAR themed interior. The service is okish. This place is a hotel restaurant. they had a buffet that did not look good, so I opted for their Nashville chicken sandwich with fries, which was good. This was a decent place to stop between Cincinnati and Columbus off 71...
