"Wow -- how have I allowed this review to go without a proper update since 2016. Ripe has become one of my fave spots and their burgers and salads are now some of the things I most crave when I'm back in town visiting. Their standouts to me are their poached pear salad. Probaly one of the cleanest salads that although may seem simple it's the quality of ingredients and those damn red wine soaked pears and the sweet pear balsamic dressing that elevate your salad. If I was living in town, I would probably have this at least twice a week. That's how much I love it.Top it off with a protein and you have a super health friendly meal that'll keep you full. I opt out of the toasted cashews due to allergens and swap the goat cheese for feta. Damn now I'm here craving a salad and I don't have immediate access to one.For my sweet tooth fanatics.... get their cheesecake. You won't be disappointed and you'll regret having to share with the table."
"What a lovely experience. Great service, cool atmosphere (a living tree in the bar), tasty drinks and a delicious steak dinner. The jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese was excellent. The bar is dog friendly so that's where we ate. The manager reminded us a little of Stephen Root. Everyone was so warm and welcoming especially our server, Casey! Try the Alpine Old-fashioned."

"Service and the food are great here. If you haven't been here, you need to try it out.From burgers to chicken sandwiches to fish tacos along with fries and a cold drink, it is worth it."
"Been craving a Bloody Mary for weeks & when on vacation there isn't a better time! I checked yelp for breakfast / brunch spots & saw this place had a full bar and was like that's where we're going! The Bloody Mary did not disappoint, hit the spot with just the right amount of kick. Me & hubby both got the No Brainer breakfast sandwich and were surprised when I came out not exactly a sandwich more like toast with toppings. BUT don't let that deter you, it was decadent in flavor and absolutely satisfying. The fruit was ok we think they might not be in season with them being as hard as they were but what can you do! The space was clean and well kept as well as a good ambiance, and the staff were very attentive. Next time we're in the area would definitely visit again!"
"We came on a Sunday and had no wait. It's a smaller place but nice ambiance. Food was amazing and portions were good compared to some places. Chicken and waffles and pizza were delicious as well."
"Loove our experience in Tombstone. Everyone here has been so nice and exceptionally hospitable. Walked by this saloon and was greeted with a nice and warm ambiance. We ordered the Crystal Palace Burger and we enjoyed that."
"I thought the food was great. It's a counter service with a bit of a wait. It was fresh though so no biggie. The lady seemed annoyed that I ordered a kids meal but my kid bought an adult meal so I didn't get the attitude she gave me. Other than that, I would go again."
"I had been to Mesa St Grill before but not since it moved location. This place was great. Our server Carolina was awesome and super helpful we went for our small company party (6 people) and they even provided a small table for all our gifts. Service was great, different people helped to keep our drinks full. Pretty pricey but worth it. Good portions and tasty. I had the lobster Mac, so good and creamy. I also loved the slider appetizers.. so good. I would go back to get a Long Island and the sliders."
"Delicious every time. I love the old bar and atmosphere. Some of my favs are the Sangrias, crab cakes, dinner salad with blue cheese, kabobs, and The Gold Brick dessert."
"Tried with a group of friends and had a good selection to try from. Tried the gyoza, salmon sashimi, Lava roll, caliente roll, chicken katsu bento and Tempura ice cream with mochi. The gyoza is decently flavored but is not an item that I would drive that far to eat. The salmon sashimi didn't have a bad odor, however, it didn't taste fresh which was disappointing. Given we aren't by the coast, I wouldn't expect that freshness here.The Lava roll is was flavorful, however, it's a Americanized version which was definitely not authentic. I would order it again if I go back. The caliente roll wasn't my favorite; it was not fresh or flavorful. The chicken katsu bento was underwhelming since the chicken was less than a cm thick which felt like if I was eating fried bread crumbs unfortunately, don't order it if you are looking for some real katsu.The dessert wasn't a bad option to try, it had decent flavor of the macha ice-cream and tempura was a little bit thick; however, it wasn't disappointing."
"Amazing Vegan options!!!! Great options for Meat Lover's too! Great atmosphere with great service! Totally recommend!"

It pains me to write a review like this, so don't be fooled by the 4-stars, which represents the experience shared by my guests, but not me. Their food was all delicious and prepared as ordered, and served by a polished, professional, and courteous server. Ripe is comfortable, and its ambience is casual and stylish without being over-the top. I wish I could say the same for my order, which I refused and didn't place an alternate order. I've been enjoying ripe for many years, since before the current ownership acquired it from its founders--a brother and sister team who were always onsite--one, the other, or both. When ownership/management is present, bad customer experiences seem to happen infrequently.On this occasion, two evenings ago, I ordered a burger medium well. Ripe's burgers are GREAT. A thick, 1/2 lb of patty ground beef served on a brioche bun, with inventive toppings if you want them. My burger came with bacon, torreados, and pepperjack cheese. Unfortunately, my guests, all who ordered salmon (excellent) received their orders first, followed by around a short, 5-minute (not too long) delay for my burger. When by burger was delivered, it looked great, but when I cut it in half to avoid making a mess of such a large burger, I discovered a cold-red center, extending outward towards the edge of the burger. I detest rare burgers--and they're unsafe to consume as well. It was a quick 5-minutes before the server came back around asking everyone if they were enjoying their dinner and everyone replied yes, but I asked if she could take my rare burger back. She agreed it was way too rare and offered to bring it back, but I politely refused, as ten minutes had gone by and everyone else was actually nearly finished enjoying their salmon.Folks, we have a meat thermometer at our house and every restaurant does, too. I'm not picky. When I order a burger medium-well, I'm happy if it comes out medium, medium-well, or well-done. I'm really disappointed if anywhere in the inside it's cold and red (not pink--bright red and raw in the middle). Personally, I prefer medium, but too often, the burger is under cooked, so avoid that by ordering medium well. My strategy fails completely when the cook is untrained, inexperienced, or too lazy to test the temperature of a 2-inch thick piece of beef. A total fail, I left hungry because I don't re-order. I've seen Road Trip and what happens when you insult the cook by returning his/her masterpiece.

I was honestly surprised to find such an amazing fancy restaurant in a small town! They serve the best tortilla soup I've ever had. And the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly! We also finished off the meal with a molten chocolate cake and it was beautifully rich. Delicious food! The service was great as well! Super nice and helpful staff! And of course the ambiance was on point as well! Such cool decorations, and the fireplace was so cozy! I also had a hot toddy drink and it was made perfectly! Well done! 10/10!

Excellent breakfast/brunch experience! Real coffee drinks! Lattes, espressos, etc. My vanilla latte was on point.Each entree was perfectly cooked and presented with care. Huevos Rancheros was just the right size. My over-east eggs were spot on, covering crisply baked tortillas accompanied by diced potatoes also cooked to perfection. Avocado was ripe and fanned out beautifully.Our two commuter breakfast sandwiches were delicious and BIG!The commuter sandwiches had freshly baked torta bread, light and airy. The bacon slices were generous and meaty.The ricotta lemon pancakes tasted fresh and lemony. Texture was light and fluffy.Our server Angelika could not have been better. Attentive, helpful and friendly.We've bookmarked this place to return next time in Midland/Odessa.

If you want to experience eating at a western saloon and don't mind the wait, this place has the ambiance and feel of it from the decor, paintings and the bar is something to experience. Established in 1879 it's worth checking out. They mainly serve American food and the place is very family friendly to include pets. Granted, the wait took 30 minutes only because it was during lunch hour and is to be expected. We enjoyed ourselves nonetheless so it was worth the wait. I suggest to check the weather beforehand because it was windy the day we went, so it was dusty from the unpaved part road of Main Street.

Some of my work crew and I came here for the happy hour; we didn't know what to expect but everything tasted amazing! We ordered every item on the happy hour menu and had zero complaints. Great food, great customer service. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in town.

"Been watching what I eat & places that have a kids option is super important to me so my daughter can eat as well. I was so impressed by my meal, my daughters meal & the customer service ! Went during lunch time and they didn't offer to much for kids for lunch but after I requested at least fruit for my daughter they came out with the yogurt and fruit cut up for her , so sweet! My lentils soap was so good & I finished my sandwich so quick it was so creamy and the bread was toasted perfect. I would definitely be going back"
"The food was as delicious as I remember it from the last time we were here, which was a few years ago. The service was pretty good, but the food did take an inordinate amount of time to get to our table. They were not too busy, but it was very worth the wait! We will be back, and hopefully, very soon. 5/5 Highly recommended."
"Meh. This decked out sports bar has tvs on every wall and ample bar. The wait staff was attentive even with our large party which was great. Although we did have a large party the food took forever and was just ok. Nothing special or amazing. If you want to watch sports and drink beer you cannot go wrong though!"
"I feel completely let down by the community of Odessa! How have I been living in Odessa going on 5 years now without knowing about the magic of Brunch and Munch?! I called as soon as they opened this morning and they helped me to get a reservation for 11:15AM and that was just the beginning of our perfect service experience from start to finish!I am obsessed with all things "theme" and this Instagram-worthy spot has everything done right without crossing into cheesy territory or using decorations that look cheap or off. It reminded me of places that I would wait MONTHS to get into in some of the biggest cities in the USA!And that's not where the 5 star comparison stops! The food was AMAZING! We started with the funnel cake fries app for the table. My husband and I got the Texas Pecan French Vanilla drip coffee (which was epic and I'm a major coffee snob!) and the kids were THRILLED with so many fun nonalcoholic options and tried a fun new drink!The kids both fell in love with sweet crepes and the husband had a savory brisket crepe. I did the avocado toast on fresh sourdough toast with the eggs and bacon on the side (small mouth!) with potatoes and I never imagined I could still be craving something so simple yet so perfectly made and gourmet!It was the first time our whole family was SILENT because we were all eating! It was worth every penny and will be a favorite now and forever in the future!"
"Towards the end of last year, I was craving tamales. I got them from my usual place, and I saw an ad for theirs online. So I decided to try this place as well. And because I'm never satisfied order just one thing, I also got snacks to go with my tamales. I ordered the violet hummus, buffalo cauliflower, a Matcha granola donut, And a half dozen corn poblano and a half dozen jackfruit Rojo tamales.The Violet hummus is what I call Violet hummus. That color was SOOOOO bright, but so was the taste. It comes with toast pieces and sweet potato puree as well. Topped with sprouts and pine nuts, it was filling by itself. The Buffalo cauliflower was drowning in sauce, but that's okay, as the sauce was a nice heat. My only wish was that the florets were crunchy. The vegan ranch was a nice companion, though it would benefit with some thinning (as would I). There were a plethora of vegetarian sticks on the side. The Matcha granola donut was okay. A bit on the small side and the citrus and the coconut overpowered any green tea flavor. Now as for the tamales (which was what I went for originally), Are usually do not like red tamales or jackfruit as much, but I preferred these to the green. They had a nice rojo taste, and it wasn't to jackfruit -forward flavor but it had a nice consistency. The corn poblano tamales needed more poblano and some kind of seasoning in it. They were kind of bland and all I could really taste was the masa. Overall, this was a good experience to increase my rating from the last time I went. I would say picking up or eating there is definitely better than the long distance meal prep."
"Frankie's is consistently good. with a wide variety of food, but the best is it's Mexican food. There's generally a way to get in depending on what time you get there. They close early, so don't plan a late night. My favorite are their shredded beef tacos. they're full of meat and delicious. But all their food is good. Recently, I had their chicken fried steak and it was awesome. I recommend you going there for breakfast lunch or dinner. They do have a lunch special, but I believe it ends at 4 o'clock. The wait staff is not exceptionally friendly, as they are always busy, but the food is well worth it ."
"I stopped next door at "verde salad" around noon (lunch time) but their line was very long and not moving so I walked to Mirai Bowl. I encountered fast service, healthy and delicious food. I paid $11 for their "sunkissed roll" which consisted of salmon and avocado. I also tried their matcha flavor ice cream wafer and I was very pleased with both."
"Salad Bar is fresh and has a huge variety! (a lot like old school sizzlers this place) except they have a cook who gets down on some ribs! They fall apart delicious flavor. Green Chili bread with butter on a board and they run out it's in high demand. If you want a good meal with lots of choices this is your place! We absolutely love how they take care of us and also love all the take home food It's a sure thing. A good meal. Clean nice atmosphere has a cute little bar in it. It's lively always packed. They serve a Blue Moon that is unmatched! We travel the USA but Wranglers will serve you up the freshest crisp most enjoyable Blue Moon! Man I look forward to it! And they do run out! Go to place for those days you just want a good beer and good food. Sit back and relax enjoy ambiance - The Boyd's"
"Went to have a few drinks with my girlfriend and enjoyed the open air patio. The top level is not opened til after 6pm. The drinks are and si are their tapas. We had the sausage which was delicious. The fried green beans with mustatd aoli sauce. And some seasoned fries. The service was sub par. I would definetly return. Very affordable."
"The fries- what more can I say!!! Well, in addition to their amazing fries, the turkey in the club sandwich was a nice thick slice of turkey breast and there was not a ton of mayo so you could take the sandwich ingredients- the bacon and the bread was thin sliced but toasted perfectly- just a win win win for me. Oh and the coffee is spot on!The meal was entire two meals for me, so I always get a to go box as son. As my food comes out- outta sight outta mind"
"Meh! Great decor within, yet if you've come here with an appetite, be prepared to pay more than what is expected due to being a hotel restaurant (at least a 20-25% markup). The server was also the bartender on this Wednesday night, yet was pretty prompt and pleasant in her service nonetheless. The entree of the chicken fettuccine pasta? Good portion size, but absolutely no flavor to it. The local IPA brew of "Splash" helped add a bit of spark to an otherwise bland meal of $22 a plate.Could've been better, yet will give The Twist another try upon returning to Midland."
"It's your average sports bar type of scene, pretty clean and they have lots of seating. The all-female servers are pretty scantily clad (not my thing but to each their own). The servers are very polite and cheerful.My favorite thing on their menu are the hush puppies. I sometimes will only order a side of them. I also order the fried catfish plate which is really good, but the batter isn't well bonded to the fish so you can just take it off in one big piece - which I usually do. But the fish itself is yummy and moist and probably slightly healthier."
"So many bars to choose from here in this town ok just kidding this is itsurprisingly enough its quite clean it's truly nice little place, and yippee the bathroom is nice and clean gotta love that.Holy guacamole the salsa is sooooooo fresh and amazing I am so sad I am full because I would love to try there other food here. Someone bought the hole bar around.."
"Love coming here especially on an evening when the weather is nice. They are dog friendly and make amazing drinks. I had the Texas mule and the bang bang shrimp. Really good food. I'll have to try out their brunch next."
"The food is filling, the burgers come out hot and juicy, the fries are crispy and the setting of the restaurant takes me back to a little diner I used to grow up going too. I recommend this place completely, it is a little pricey in terms of cost of food but I do also agree it is great food for what you're getting. The service was awesome they made sure to greet us as we came in and left and we patient with us the whole time while we took forever to order. Recommend giving this place a chance and don't think you'll be disappointed"
"Good sushi , Cheap and good attention! We will be back for more California roll or something with crab , schrimps"
"I'm so happy Yelp recommended this place while on vacation with dad.The staff was so friendly and helpful. The decoration was also stunning. My favorite was the live pianist. That was fantastic.I tried the Pasta New Mexico. It was incredible. One of the best meals I have ever eaten. Dad ordered the meatloaf and felt the same way."
