Ripe

Great place to go with a pup. Service was a little slow but nothing to complain about. Food was great except the steak Benedict ate more like a mash. The hash brown didn't really hold up to be a muffin alternative. But for 28$ with a beer and a side of sausages I'll take it

So the hours online are wrong. Brunch on Saturday starts at 9 currently. So we waited the 15 mins until they opened. When they did open the door, the staff in the back was loudly complaining about opening. We ordered our food and it did come out quickly. I got the grape salad which was a large portion and good. I will say the service was subpar the entire time and they're also wasn't good communication were they didn't really ask everyone if they wanted anything additionally. We felt more of an inconvenience to them for being there. Everyone else felt the food was ok but nothing to go out of the way for.

First time at Ripe. It's a cute little restaurant with a large wine selection and down home menu like roasted chicken, burgers, various salads, pasta, etc. There was a chicken cordon bleu sandwich on an online menu but I didn't see it on the restaurant menu. Our server happily offered to have the dish made. The chicken was nicely breaded and crispy. A slice of ham laid on the bun with a nice honey mustard sauce coating the chicken. Tender, crisp, and flavorful for sure. My girlfriend's lemon pasta was equally well prepared. Unfortunately, she was not feeling well and had to ask for her meal to be packed to go without eating much of it. Our server offered to pack our leftovers and included a free piece of cake as a thank you. What a nice gesture!!! We are definitely coming back to try more of their menu and to enjoy the great service. Check out RIPE!!!!

Order a salad with steak cooked medium and it came out medium well. Order a hamburger and it was burnt.

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.

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.

Updated review of dessert. I didn't see a picture of the seasonal dessert so I wanted to post it. I just want to say that the chicken fried chicken I had today was juicy. Usually fried chicken like that taste dry. It wasn't and the mashed potatoes were good as well as the veggies. Good size portion not over whelming. The dessert was good. I really liked the cajeta that was on it but the cake to me was a little dry.

Came here for lunch and the food was amazing. I had the Bacon Toreado burger and my husband had the Shrimp tacos. I got sweet potato fries with my burger as well. We left with empty plates and full stomachs. Would definitely recommend coming here for the food and for the great service! All the waitresses were amazing with our 9 month old.

Food was good and the service after lunch was upbeat! Will definitely go back and enjoy the ambiance and good service!

You pay for cold food. $15 and when I tell her she says I'll take it off. Then Brings me the tab with it. Thanks. Never coming back. Shouldn't have came in the first place.
