I work in a Ryan's restaurant and have for some time, and know a little about the business. For instance the Florida store mentioned is a franchisee of Ryan's Inc. and the company is so embarrassed by the way the franchise stores are run they want to buy back the franchises. Its a legal matter but basically an individual makes the calls at those stores not a corporate "district manager". Believe me if my district manager came into my store and saw ANY of the things listed in the health inspection there would be heads ROLLING! Ryan's is a very clean well maintained restaurant and I would happily eat at any of them (except the Florida franchises!!) thats my 2 cents.

ARE YOU SURE YOUR TALKING OF A RYAN'S IN FLA, AND NOT THE ONE HERE IN GA.I GUESS ALL THE STORES HAVE THE SAME PROBLUMS! THE ICECREAM MACHINES FOR EXAMPLE ARE TO BE TAKEN APART EVERYNIGHT AND CLEANED..NOT. ONE WOULD BE SUPPRISED WHAT YOU WOULD FIND ONCE IT IS CLEANED!!! I'VE WORKED IN DIFFERENT RESTARAUNTS FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS,AND THERE ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN THAT I'LL EAT AT, BECOUSE I KNOW WHAT GOES ON BEHING THOES DOORS! IF PEOPLE KNEW OF THE DIRTY HANDS THAT CUT, PREPARE, MIX AND COOK THEIR FOOD THE WOULD EAT AT HOME A LOT MORE! DO YOU HONESTLY KNOW IF THE PERSON HOW COOKED YOUR FOOD RELLEY WASHED THEIR HANDS AFTER A BATHROOM BREAK? SURE THERE ARE SIGNS POSTED, AND GIVE THOES CREDIT THAT DO, BUT IN TRUTH 7 OUT OF 10 DONT! AND THAT IS REALITY!!!!!

Oh' my god. That's the employee's standards, this problem is bigger than I thought. I won't even respond to that. Well I spoke with Kevin the dist. manager for Ryan's steakhouse. He did not offer much more help than ED the manager. But he did confirm that he comes to the steakhouse once a week and does an inspection of his own and if he seen any problems he would demand the be fixed. Well I guess all of the problems listed in the health dept report just happened in one week. When I asked if any actions were taken against the manager's , he said no-none. I thought that if you were a manager of a steakhouse you had to maintain certin health issues to ensure that the food is safe. Well kevin did tell me that all employee's have had a food prep. class and they are cert. in the food prep business. Thats fine but, 4 people got sick and maybe more that didn't report it. So that does not make me feel any safer and I will do my best to make the public aware of these conditions and your actions taken on employee's. Don't worry I will note that you did comply with the health dept. I don't think that it will help. Look forward to future update's!!!!!

I am an employee of Ryan's steak house and the food is good. So what four people got sick that's not bad for the number of meals we serve. And roaches we all have them, it's florida. Ed is a good manager, he likes to serve employee and customers with a smile. Even if he did know about the conditions, he could not do anything. Some employee's we have are on work release and are short tempered and if Ed gets on them it could become a fight. If Ed gets fired I will walk out too. Don't judge Ed or Ryan's over four people getting sick or because of roaches or other things. Stuff happens, get over it people!
