One of the best burgers ever!! Love the small town local atmosphere. I love the wheel game too plus they have a pool table and corn hole!

Purchased lunch for my employees and it did not disappoint! I had the buffalo chicken quesadilla and it was one of the best, most flavorful quesadillas I've ever had. Both my employees raved about their meals as well. The garlic ranch fries were to die for. Great service and fast! If you're looking for something with great flavor and filling, definitely come here! We will be back.

Solid dive bar, tried a friends wing which was good. Bartender was stretched a bit thin but did a fine job

I've only ordered takeout, but this restaurant goes the extra mile. They include plates, along with silverware and napkins. They wrap the food in foil before putting it in the takeout containers, keeping it warm for quite a while. The food itself is fantastic. It's very messy, but tasty enough that you won't care.

We stopped in because we were in town for a wedding. We had a blast getting to know the bartender, playing pool and just having a good time. Wish we lived closer.

I got a pub burger and garlic dry rub wings for my wife. The professional staff here are focused on their work. The pub burger was delicious (basically a bacon cheeseburger) I ordered it medium rare and it was still pink when I was late to pick it up. The garlic dry rub wings were also well cooked with just the right amount of seasoning, my wife loved them and she is picky about wings and doesn't like anything too spicy. What stuck out the most to me were two details: the fries are made from real potatoes, which means they don't look incredibly handsome like frozen packaged fries but they are so delicious. What made me want to write this review was the tinfoil they use to like their styrofoam to go containers. I can't stand hot food burning into styrofoam, much less my own, and to see that they work with that detail means a lot to me. The styrofoam to go container means they're trying to increase their profit margins but the tinfoil lining for hot foods means this doesn't come at the expense of the customer, this is the first time I've seen a restaurant line their hot foods with tinfoil before putting it on styrofoam, normally my food burns pits into it which I find unappetizing. I would add pics but I was hungry when I started eating and you don't want to see this mess

Great food choices and Guinness on tap. Big sell for me. My buddy and I travel for work and we hit all the bars in the area, this was our best experience so far.

After a disastrous meal nearly a year ago, I wasn’t sure I’d ever return. However, I decided today was the day for a second chance, and I am incredibly glad I did. Ryan’s has officially redeemed itself. The Star of the Show I ordered the Black and Bluesy Burger, and it was executed flawlessly. It’s rare to find a kitchen that nails a true medium-rare, but this was cooked perfectly to my liking. The seasoning was a masterclass in balance: • Cajun spices provided a nice kick without overpowering the meat. • The combination of blue cheese crumbles and a slice of American cheese created a rich, savory melt that was absolutely delicious. • The sweet potato fries (substituted) were a highlight, impressively crispy and well-seasoned. Drinks & Service The experience at the bar was just as high-quality as the food. The bartender was friendly, pleasant, and attentive throughout my visit. Most importantly for the stout lovers out there: she delivered a Guinness with a perfect pour. Final Verdict I’m happy to chalk last year’s bad experience up to an isolated incident. Ryan’s is back to the high standard I originally fell in love with. I’ll definitely be back.
