Shout out to the RITZ DINER and Marion Lontai-Feldman! I used the Grub Hub ap for the first time ever and ordered my Marion's Chopped Salad (lunch portion) at 6:30 p.m. and a qt. of the Soup of the Day - the best, Vegetable. Order arrived in less than 20 minutes and the driver was really nice! What a bonus. Delivery is long overdue. Good luck Marion with it - I think it's going to be great. xo. - A.A.

On FB after looking at a post, someone wrote, "Will order tomorrow."

On FB after looking at a post, someone wrote "I'm starving right now!!"

Fantastic podcast Heidi Blum and David Feldman!! I will always have a soft spot for the Ritz. It's because of this restaurant that I met my husband and we are celebrating 28 years of marriage this year. - A.L.

On FB someone wrote, "Marion salad is my favorite!" 

We love hearing this it never gets old!

On FB someone wrote, "40 years of serving delicious food to customers, including me. Great job!!! May you have another 40 wonderful years to come"

We cannot wait for many more years serving our happy customers!!

Hi Ritz Diner!

 

Our family is a big fan of the Ritz, but the biggest fan is our littlest member: Willow! She discovered that you have delicious Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets on your menu when she was around 2 and a half and she’s never looked back! She requests to go there at least once a week and has been there with every member of our extended family. She knows all of the staff and they can’t wait to see what she’s wearing each time she comes in. We all secretly love when she asks to go because it’s a place that has something delicious for everyone in our family. And of course, we can’t leave without a rainbow cookie to finish the meal! We even had The Ritz cater her 4th birthday party and with all of her favorites and everyone at the party raved about the food! Thank you for being a staple in our family and in our town! We love you!

 

Sincerely fans, 

The Borukhovich Family

Gennady, Maggie, Noah and Willow (but mostly Willow)
