Our History
Our Journey
A Local Favorite Since 1996
Ritzy’s was founded on a simple idea — serve fresh, high-quality food in a classic diner setting. Established in the early 1980s, the brand quickly became known for its signature smash burgers, crispy shoestring fries, and rich, homemade ice cream made in-house.
In 1996, Ritzy’s came to Owensboro and quickly became a local favorite. Built on consistency, quality, and friendly service, it has remained a go-to spot for families and friends for decades.
Today, Ritzy’s continues to honor its roots by serving timeless diner favorites made fresh every day — delivering the same taste and experience that customers have loved for generations.
