Pine Ridge Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Merrill

Food was ok. Took my 4 year old son to the bathroom, and when we went in, the bathroom door directly hit the Koala Kare diaper changing station and the table fell directly on my son’s head knocking him on the ground. He was left with a very large bruise on his forehead and multiple scrapes on his nose. One of the waitress’s was nice about it, offering ice etc. However there was no apology from the staff or management and nothing was offered under the guise of an apology.

We stopped for breakfast while driving through town. Breakfast is served all day. I had hash brown skillet with hollandaise sauce, eggs over easy. It was delish! They used fresh onions and canned mushrooms but sautéed them together so I didn't mind the mushrooms being the canned ones. The eggs were prefectly cooked, not well done and not slimy. My husband had a breakfast omelet plate which he really liked, and added a pancake for a dollar. It was very good. He had a hankering for a chocolate milk, which was real, not the syrup mixed with white milk. The server was very friendly and attentive. I told her I have an allergy and she made note of it and told the cook too. The cost was very reasonable. We would def stop...
