Mimi N.Mimi Nguyen: Loved the house gumbo and new England clan chowder but the portions are huge!

Mae W.Mae Wuwongse: Ritter's is great, hearty, comfort food. I always get the house pan roast, spicy level 8. I could eat that every day. I have also tried his clan chowder that is also thick and perfectly seasoned.

MatMat: So darn cold in this place--pack a subzero jacket when you come. Pan Roast is awesome but the calm chowder was Ah Maze Ing!!
