I placed an online order. My food was ready to go when I arrived. Service was fantastic. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant has a classic diner motif.I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich for myself, a double cheeseburger for my dad and fries to share. My chicken sandwich was delicious. Chicken was well cooked, toppings provided a good compliment of flavors and the bun was toasted to perfection. My dad raved about his burger. The fries were also good.I need to pay another visit to try the PB&J sandwich and their milkshakes.

Before you notice the food, you will notice the service which is helpful and kind. This was very important because my wife and I were Ritzy's first-timers just trying to get our bearings. We each got a hot dog, and split a double burger & regular fries. Really we could have used a triple burger and large fries because we we weren't full afterwards. Fortunately the ice cream scoops and milkshake helped fill the void, at least for me with the scoops. Unfortunately my wife's peanut butter milkshake was very light in flavor almost to the point of tasting watered down. The Chicago style hot dog had pickle chips instead of a spear which contributed to more of the toppings ending up on the plate than my mouth. The Coney dog was fine. The burger was definitely the star. It was kind of like having a Wendy's burger with McDonald's fries (which I say with fond intent).If you've never been to Ritzy's, go at least once for the charm of this old-time throwback.

I ordered a Beyond Burger to go from their website. I was thinking they had a drive up window, but they do not. I parked and went inside. The associate handed me my bag with a smile. It was great. Fresh bun with all the toppings. I won't hesitate to order again.

Honestly, I'm upset I lived 38 years of my life without knowing about this place!! This is everything I've ever wanted in a diner - thin burger patties, shoestring fries, ample food/side options BESIDES just burgers and fries, quality ingredients, and THE most delicious shakes. The only thing they need to offer is a punch card for frequent diners! :)

Reminds me of Johnny rockets that no longer is in Columbus, only better. I need to try other items there but a solid choice for smash burger style.

I was honestly so impressed by this Ritzy's! I grew up outside of Columbus, and my hometown "G. D." Ritzy's is known to be pretty run-down and decent at best. That is what I expected here, but it absolutely exceeded my expectations. This location is way bigger than it looks from the outside and very clean inside. In addition to stool and table seating, there is seating outside. Lots of parking that you can't see from the street too. Prices and menus are clearly posted, and the cook and cashier we interacted with were both very friendly and helpful.The patties at Ritzy's are thin ("smashed", I guess?) and a bit crispy on the edges. They are so good!! They are offering a plant-based option of Beyond Beef burgers (will try next time!) but keep in mind that they are cooked on the same grill as the meat. Our burgers and fries were a bit salty, but still delicious. My partner added bacon to his burger, and it had a great texture and sweetness for a burger. The fries are shoestring fries, PERFECTLY crispy. The cheese sauce isn't the greatest, but it's not Ritzy's without the cheese sauce. The smallest burger along with fries was the perfect amount for me.I wish I hadn't made assumptions about this place, because it is a top tier fast food joint for very reasonable prices, for Columbus. We will definitely be back!

First time here and it was a pretty cool experience and place! There's not a ton of parking, but there's a decent amount. I'm sure on their busy days, their parking lot fills up quickly.There's a decent amount of seating inside too. It's a line style ordering and it was a bit confusing at first for me, but it's quick and simple.I got the Itzy, which is a single patty and then customized the toppings and sauce. There are a few toppings that are an upcharge, but their basic toppings are included and you can customize those. The burger was made well and not dry, the toppings were wonderful add-ons, and the fries were delicious. I think their shoestring fries were delicious, but very oversalted. One large fry was enough for two of us, it was a good amount!Overall, the atmosphere was welcoming and lively. Staff was very nice, they were so friendly and welcoming. The burgers were pretty good, a quality smashburger.I would recommend this place for small groups, burgers, good fries, and a bit of a throwback experience.

Maybe I just had too many expectations going in? I envisioned a fun 50s throwback diner with thick, juicy burgers. The atmosphere and the food were not that. Fries were hot, fresh and salty. All good there. The "single" burger was super thin and flavorless. It had no discernible burger flavor at all. I ordered it with "the works" toppings and it mostly just tasted like mustard, as they put tons of it on for some reason. I feel like if you have a sign on your building that just says "hamburgers".....you really need to stick the landing with the burger.

I LOVE going here when I'm nearby! It's not fast food cheap, but it's definitely not Five Guys expensive either. I believe it is far better than any fast food burger/fry combos when you look at quality vs price. The fries are super fresh (I enjoy the original sauce to dip them in), and I admit this is a weird combo, but if anyone has ever been to Bearden's up in Cleveland, peanut butter on a burger is amazing (and is an option here!) I personally like to get the peanut butter, jam, and crispy onion on my burger. I bet the fruit and peanuts they also have would be nice additions (similar to how they do their PBJ), but I believe they cost extra. Their shakes and ice cream are also pretty awesome.Service is great -- any small mistakes (which occur infrequently) have been corrected quickly and graciously. It's not exactly a 50s diner vibe, but it's a pretty good modern, fast food take on one.

I love you guys and your food, but please don't ever package someone's food like this again, what a mess. Hotdogs were stacked up at the bottom of the food bag. Half the toppings remained inside the bag. What happened to the old way you packaged food? It was so much better when the food was actually wrapped up or boxed up in the case of burgers.
