Meatball Sangweech 🇮🇹🥖
Some recipes are simply too important to change.
Our Meatball Sangweech is built around the same award winning meatball recipe that has been part of Ralph’s for over 125 years. Made with a blend of beef and pork, topped with our homemade gravy, and served on a fresh seeded roll, it’s a sandwich rooted in the traditions that have defined our kitchen for generations.
What makes it even more special is that this very recipe can be found in our cookbook, 100 Years, 100 Recipes, giving you the opportunity to bring a true piece of Ralph’s history into your own home.
For over 125 years, families have gathered at Ralph’s to share meals, celebrate milestones, and create memories. Some dishes become part of those memories, and our meatballs have certainly earned that distinction.
Our Sangweech Menu is available for dine in during lunch on Fridays, and available for takeout all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Mussel Fries 🍟🦪
For years, our mussels have been one of the most popular dishes at Ralph’s. In fact, once the mussels are gone, people are usually asking for containers to take the sauce home.
That got us thinking.
What if we gave that sauce something else to soak into?
Introducing our Mussel Fries. Crispy fries topped with the same flavors that have made our mussels a guest favorite for generations. It’s rich, flavorful, and the perfect excuse to make sure not a drop goes to waste.
As part of our Sangweech Menu, it’s a new addition that feels right at home alongside the classics.
Our Sangweech Menu is available for dine in during lunch on Fridays, and available for takeout all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
