Mountain West Eatery

Mountain West Eatery mixes comfort food and bold flavors with family-focused hospitality. Rick Ruff opened the restaurant at the onset of the pandemic with wife Jenilyn on Blue Diamond Road near Mountain's Edge, featuring a menu based on his mother's personal recipes. Ruff describes his barbecue as "Chicago-style," which is all about having a firm, moist texture. It's not fall off the bone. Some of the other dishes, however, have a clear Southern influence, including the Shrimp and Grits, traditional Gumbo, and a Ghost French Toast sandwich stuffed with fried fish. Smoked meats also find their way into salads and breakfast scrambles. Lunch and dinner plates come with a corn muffin and two sides.
