Rip Rap Roadhouse

This place surprised me in a big way. I was expecting a rough biker bar. The interior was quaint (actually really cozy all decorated for the holidays) and the outside patio looks outstanding for the summertime. Family atmosphere, decent food with good prices and friendly service.Lastly, thrilled I could bring my pup!I would absolutely stop back in.

The owner says, "The Rip Rap Roadhouse was founded on the belief that great food and great service at a reasonable price will get people to keep coming back, and hopefully, they'll tell their friends."I would say he's succeeded, I came back (this is my 2nd visit), and I'm telling my friends here. Visited today after soccer (there are soccer fields behind the restaurant). It was pretty crowded, but we got seated quickly and served promptly and courteously. Menu is pretty simple food but prepared thoughtfully and with care.This is my second visit; I don't remember what I ate during my first visit but today my daughter and I had a burger and fries, a fried bologna sandwich with housemade chips, and coleslaw. Nothing was phoned in and appeared made in-house. Even the coleslaw, which is an afterthought most places, was fresh and packed with flavor. There's even an ice cream shop in front, if you're up for that after your meal.Our server was hustling, but attentive. Prices were extremely reasonable.It is a roadhouse and a biker bar. But the environment was cool, dim, rustic, and inviting, particularly on a hot day.I live nowhere near here, but would visit again when next in the area.

Great location if your riding.parking lot is finished so NO gravel. Burger was good. Homemade kettle chips good. Everything seasoned. Would like to see a few more ounces to the party but the bun is proportioned well.

This had been on our list of places to try for awhile! We enjoyed it. I had the Tequila Lime Chicken (8/10). The chicken and sauce were great but the Mexican rice could use a better flavoring. My husband had the meatloaf and rated it (9/10) and said it was the best he'd ever had. Our kids liked the Mac and cheese! The beers in the mason glasses were cool to me. We would return back here and try additional items!

Last time I was in, this place was undergoing serious construction under new management! This has always been a classic biker bar, but don't be surprised to see families or kids here too. The food is very good. There's often live music too, which makes a for a fun visit. Love the outdoor seating in the warmer months.

What a gem! Found it through Yelp, and we had the dog. Outside seating was fabulous, bikers bar for sure. We had a burger and beers. Clean bathroom, and everyone was so friendly. Weather was perfect, seating was great and alot of room to sit. Good music and just all around good food. Ended with the smoked wings and absolutely ok to bring the kids and dog. Just know a lot of bikes and really cool cars come through the parking lot. What a great find. Need to go and check them out.

The food was really good, I started with French onion soup and then had their smoked applewood wings with French fries and coleslaw The French onion soup was really good, some croutons were still crunchy and I love that! It was also flavorful!The smoked applewood wings was good but its better if you dip it in their bbq sauce and ranchTheir coleslaw is probably the best coleslaw I've had it's giving KFC coleslaw vibeThe service was good and the ambiance feels like Texas Roadhouse but family ownedSmall place and it gets busy. So plan ahead :)The prices on menu only reflects if paying in cash add 3% if paying with card

Love this one of a kind Dayton landmark. The service is good and quick. For such a big place and at a busy time (Saturday evening) we were impressed with how good the service was. They make sure you are noticed and taken care of. I choose the pulled pork sandwich with tots and man was it good. They make their own BBQ and sauce and their taste is popping and oooo so good. I'd for sure buy their BBQ is they sold it. They BBQ was tender and just right. Why the tots, I mean can you mess up tots? The space has a huge outdoor seating area with a stage for music and many seating options, indoor bar/outdoor bar, under an umbrella or at a picnic table, high tables and chairs or not, shade or not, plus booths and tables inside as well. It's a unique spot, more of a biker bar that has become popular with the locals too. If you're looking for a kick back relax chill spot, the Rio Rap Roadhouse is a great spot. Now I've gotta go back and try their own unique shake shack. I've heard they are top notch. Give it a try, it's a great spot that is unique in the Dayton area. Keep up the quality RRR!! We loved it!!!

I haven't been here in years. I was So excited to have lunch outside on a beautiful day a couple weeks ago. Rip Rap is a cool restaurant/bar with a huge outdoor area that presents itself as a sort of biker bar. Don't let that shy you away because it really is a cool space. My friends and I started with big beers. Boat Show IPA is one of my favorite local brews and great on a warm day. For lunch I had the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings. They state that they are famous for the house made bbq sauce. It wasn't my favorite but ok. The pretzel bun that it came on though stole the show, so delicious! Overall, I enjoyed our experience at Rip Rap and I'm sure we'll be coming back!

What a fun find on our way to Columbus! This place was unique! And busy!!! We had a variety of brunch and lunch entrees and everything was delicious and affordable. Standouts included the chili cheesesteak, southwest salad and gumbo, but everything was good. Service was slow, but they were slammed and we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. I would love to go back in the summer when the outside areas and Shake Shack was open!
