OUR Story

The Ridge Diner has been a beloved fixture in Park Ridge since 1972, owned and operated by the Meidanis family. For over 50 years, our philosophy has remained the same: providing good food, friendly service, and affordable prices in a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Whether you’re joining us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night snack, we have something for everyone.

Our menu is filled with customer favorites, from fluffy pancakes and crispy waffles to our savory omelets, which make breakfast a must. For lunch or dinner, guests love our fresh salads, hearty wraps, and signature burgers, like the classic cheeseburger or BBQ bacon burger. Our top sellers also include lighter options like wraps packed with fresh veggies and lean proteins, as well as crisp, vibrant salads that always hit the spot. Pair your meal with hand-cut fries or sweet potato fries to complete the experience.

At The Ridge Diner, we pride ourselves on being more than just a restaurant—we’re a community staple where generations have gathered to enjoy great food and welcoming hospitality. We invite you to visit us and experience why we’ve been a local favorite for decades.
