Ritcey East

Family from out of town were so hungry, they gobbled too fast for a photo but I captured this one. As usual, Ritcey East delivered a phenomenal meal with impeccable service. Our go-to neighborhood restaurant for comforting and delicious food.

This place has atmosphere! The food was okay. The chicken fingers where frozen which is always sad and I definitely had regrets when I saw the Mac and cheese and burgers come out. We got two entrées a side order of onion rings and appetizer and it came out to about 60 bucks. There was this strange surge of excitement in the air and it’s hard to explain but it seemed like everyone was just really happy from the service people to other guests. 100%will go back.

Ritcey is a true gem! From the creative menu (both food AND libations) to the fun atmosphere and kind staff, it’s on a completely different level in comparison to other restaurants in the area. My favorites are the chicken tenders, fish and chips, and burgers! I’ve also gotten takeout and received the same service and care as a dine in order would receive! There’s truly no other place like it.

What a great experience my wife and kids had at Ritcey East last night. There were card and board games to keep families busy, the food and drinks were delicious, and the wait staff was always available when needed. We will be sure to return when we are back in the area to this hidden gem in Watertown!

We love this local eatery and bar. The owners are super nice, and the food is delicious. We come every week for a helping of fish tacos, our favorite!

Our new favorite joint!! The portions are generous and cocktails are on point. Max and Chelsea are amazing humans and it’s evident the love they’ve poured into this restaurant. Dining there feels like coming home… minus the family drama/judgment and with the tastiest, most nurturing home cooked meal. We are so happy to have this neighborhood gem so close to us.

Good basic pub food with a frequently changing, dietary restriction inclusive menu. Great drinks. Staff are lovely and incredibly welcoming. Excellent for groups and small outings. Wonderful neighborhood spot. Love Ritcey East!

Best kept secret in Watertown, by far. Great service & food, tasty cocktails, and reasonable prices. Try the chicken sandwich or shrimp & grits; you won't be disappointed!

The justice beaver burger will change your life. Drinks were amazing and the service was great. We went on a Friday night so it was busy and subsequently a little loud - but to be expected. 10/10!!

Chill and cozy inside, this neighborhood gem is consistently good and reasonably priced which is super hard to find.

Staples like hot dogs and burgers are taken to another level (I rarely crave these foods at restaurants because I can make higher quality at home). The fish tacos are great, as well as the fried chicken.

I get nervous because it's usually not very busy in here, so we need more people to frequent this place!

The best Mac and cheese! The owner and staff are super nice and really work to make sure everything comes out right and tastes amazing. Their cocktails are fun and they always have a couple of rotating ones to try out. Tap list is also seasonal and interesting

Fried pickles were really good and a good portion. Nice and reasonably priced food and cocktails.

Awesome place! Had the mini mac burger and mac and cheese. Both were delicious

Great experience … I live in the neighborhood … will definitely be back. Good food and good vibes. My wife loved the fish tacos and the drinks were good. Wish they had a few more local draft beer options but still a great little spot with good service/atmosphere.

Ritcey East is the best. Delicious comfort food and the best owners and staff, since moving out of state we miss them dearly. They are literally the only restaurant we trusted during the emergency phase of the pandemic.

Ritcey East is such a gem! i have eaten here multiple times and the food and service is great. I highly recommend the empanadas, fish tacos, and onion rings, so yummy!

After reading about the post-pandemic debt problems, my husband and I decided to support the restaurant last night. Went in for a quick dinner and did not disappoint. Mindy at the bar was kind and efficient. Recommended great cocktails. Had delicious fish tacos and fish and chips with wonderful service. Vibe was friendly and relaxed. Definitely a neighborhood place that needs to stay around. I

We love Ritcey East! We stopped over in late January of 2018 and it instantly felt like a second home to us. My fiancé used to go to the Ritcey in Waltham in high school and was super excited that RE is run and owner by their daughter - who used to serve him and his high school girlfriend they went! (In fact we’re bringing her with us for her birthday THIS January!)

They’re fabulous about my allergies and his strict keto diet. His endless glass of Diet Coke is almost magically refilled whenever we’re there. There is a constant selection of interesting beers, ciders, and cocktails that I absolutely enjoy! We can’t eat everything on the menu, but everything we have had or had altered, has been amazing! And many friends we have taken have tried other yummy things, and everyone has enjoyed it.

Ritcey East has become our welcome meal for guests coming to visit - friends with chronic IBD, family, and my fancy food critic friend have all loved the impressive collection of options on the curated menu and the interesting specials. We’ve also started giving their gift cards for weddings and birthdays to locals.

The owners are both wonderful and welcoming, we love the staff - the hosts, servers, and bartenders are all friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. We even have a favorite table! Sometimes we just drop by on game night for a snack, a drink, a round of connect four.

We’re super fans - owning t shirts, attending all the pop ups and parties we can! As an ex-beverage business owner, I am thrilled to support a lovely couple of women running a restaurant and creating a wonderful environment we feel at home in, and is our go to whenever we don’t want to cook.

I was a first time customer at Ritcey tonight, and I’ll definitely recommend it as a spot to check out! The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming: we were immediately greeted by two different employees and offered a choice as to where we would like to sit.

My husband and I ordered a burger and the fish tacos, respectively, and my pro-tip is to absolutely order the onion rings. Those were devoured instantly! My one tip on the fish tacos would be to add more seasoning to the fry batter for more depth of flavor. Otherwise, the portions were generous and we can’t wait to try other items on the menu.

P.S. We were thrilled to see that this restaurant is a queer friendly space. Just another reason to love and support this local gem!

It was so good..the owner is wonderful so is the food. The brussel sprouts Cesar salad changed my life! It was my birthday dinner u handed out whoopie pies. The owner took this pick and made the whole.night complete. Omg the buffalo chicken egg rolls were everything. I tried to get some to go and bring home but they were sold out so I went for the hotdog....it all was amazing. I will be back!
