“We had a party of 3 so tried everything on the menu and we loved it. The roasted squash was probably the star of the show. All of the entrees were nicely sized portions and well executed. The butterscotch pudding was great. Service was also top notch. Angie took great care of us and I would request her great service next time we come in. This concept is truly special and I hope it flourishes.“

“Such a cute little diner where I wouldn't expect one. My partner and I stumbled upon this place while looking for a Sunday date while I was in town. We ordered large milkshakes, nachos, I ordered the shrimp quesadillas, they ordered the brunch combo. Let me tell you that was so tasty! We could barely touch our actual meal after half the milkshake and almost finishing the nachos. The staff was excellent and were super accommodating even though we had to wait a little. Do not walk away from a place like this just because of a wait. The milkshakes were gorgeous and the food was enough for two meals each while staying affordable. I absolutely recommend this cute little diner.“

Philly Cheese Steak

“I have only visited during lunch but it is the perfect spot to sit for a quick lunch or grab a meal on the go. Decent selection of sandwiches, burgers, and salads. The interior has around 10 tables and counters to sit but most people come in to order and pick up to-go orders. The staff are always very nice and welcoming. I have enjoyed the Chipotle Turkey sandwich, the buffalo chicken sandwich, the Rueben, and the buffalo chicken salad multiple times and have walked away satisfied. Now that I work in the area I hope to try more offerings on the menu, including breakfast.“

“I have ordered both in and had food delivered. I love the food. I’m partial to the salmon, shrimp pasta and the j*** chicken pasta. That is also the three things I have tried from them. I first ordered the $5 plates to try them and have not stopped going since. It’s not your typical pasta. I love the combination of flavors and the subtle punch. I get tired of food easily but Ravi’s has definitely added some variety. I have recommended them to my family and friends. Love supporting a small business in our community. Pray prosperity over them.“

The beans were terrific and to top it all off, they had my favorite, sasrparilla from the tap! Absolutely phenomenal food and service!“

“The food is excellent. The owner really puts love into her handmade dishes. Fresh ingredients make this spot a hidden gem. Try the shrimp rolls and the fried rice. Banging!!! Especially in a late night where all the restaurants are closed she is still cooking. ❤️ They have a juke box that has a good selection of pretty much anything. You can hear anything from Mobb Deep to the Eagles at this bar. Nice space to host a catered gathering as well as a small outdoor patio to enjoy the evening. Super cute spot. The bartenders could use an upgrade, as our order got forgotten for quite some time and there were quite a few forgetful moments but I guess it comes with the ambience. Try em...“

Carne Frita Con Tostones

“I read some of the reviews about this spot and had to come and check it out for myself. When I entered Roma's for lunch, there was one other person at the bar and then a gentleman setting up TV's behind the bar. He came over with a Menu after taking my drink order. I decided to go with their honey bbq wings, New England clam chowder and Hawaiin Burger. The guy behind the bar was friendly and kept striking up conversation with myself and the other gentleman. My wings came out and I must say, these golden temptations weren't just slightly crisp but met my tastebuds with a sweetness about them, that when dipped into the blue cheese; only set off a powerful bite that was creamy and a bit tangy. I had fun with the rollercoaster of taste upon these wings. As for my Clam Chowder. It was chunky and had much going on. Clams came packed with a degree of seasonings that started out good but ended in a bad way for the chowder was a bit too salty. This chowder would be the perfect start to. any meal in the winter, had it not been for the saltiness of it all; taking away from what could be its own star of a chowder show. Now my fries, bliss in a bite with just the right amount of salt upon them and a crispiness to be reckoned with. Even the burger made my mouth happy with its freshness on the beef; made to order. Didn't taste like frozen pot luck beef at all. Seasoned just right and the pineapples, along with onion crisps held enough flavor to transcend this burger into the next phase of its life...The bun was toasted both inside and out, holding the components together for a nice barrage of burger bliss. Not bad at all!“

Might be different for a larger group though. Definitely worth trying the place! Reasonable pricing too.“

“I would definitely say I had the simpler experience by dealing with Chef Walt's through Doordash, but overall enjoyed the food. Shared the oxtail Mac and my bf raved about it, healthy portion of oxtail (that some Jamaican restaurants don't even offer) atop a bowl of thoroughly seasoned and cheesy penne -- and two orders of Whiting. I've been craving fish fry for weeks and didn't realize Chef Walt's offered daggone near everything on their menu. Thank you for satisfying the craving without over charging. I'd recommend Chef Walt's-- I don't heavily use too much salt in my own day to day cooking but I don't think it was overkill. Just understand seasoning fluctuates sometimes--especially if Chef Walt isn't the only one cooking in his kitchen-- they most likely ain't using tsp and tbsp to measure out everything. For what it was, nothing lacked flavor and that I can truly appreciate“
