The Ritz Cafe is a well established institution in Rocky Mountain House. I haven't been around town much in the past 16 years, but Ritz Cafe seems more-or-less how I remember it. It was pretty quiet when I stopped by recently, but if you're looking for a small town Chinese restaurant experience (I often am) this place will do it for you.

Best Chinese Take Out in Rocky Mountain House, order and pick up - everything is delicious! My go to for sure! Made fresh, flavourful, and I love the fact that every dish has its own flavor you can taste, NOT like other Chinese restaurants that cover everything in a tasteless thick batter. Deep Fried Shrimp being the exception- and it's great here too!

A local recommended this out of the way cafe. Currently only doing takeout. They made me a custom dinner for one that was to my expectations. The hot n sour was spicy to my satisfaction.

Excellent food that is not only cooked rapidly but with expertise, capturing the great taste of Chinese cuisine. The service can lack from time to time especially when busy however they make up for it with their great taste. Overall excellent for a small town family run oriental restaurant.

The food is amazing. Service quick. Large portions. I would eat here again. The seating area was empty with a lot of take out orders. They were very busy and it felt like they were not expecting a dine in order. All lights were off. The bathrooms were functional but not clean.
