Taste TesterAugust 31, 2017Fried chicken wrap with coleslaw and fries, topped off with lemonade. Good for bar food. Enjoyed the band during lunch time on a Friday afternoon.😋😋😋😋

Alexander FrostApril 8, 2013I'm a vegetarian, but they've been able to accommodate me quite well. If you're interested in a BBQ place I'll assume you don't have the same dietary restrictions and you'll love it!Upvoted Oct 7
Patrick ManusAugust 26, 2012More of a junior/senior scene, rippys reps a live ban downstairs for locals with solid ribs and an upstairs spot for us. It's a lil tight on ids but can be a good time on occasion
Cleetus ThompsonMay 2, 2013The rooftop is awesome. You can smoke up there too! Great ribs!! Great scenery ! And the security guard Alex is a cool and funny guy. Great place. The waiter could've been a lil faster at checkout!
The most attractive bartenders in town, great music and rooftop views of lower Broadway are some of the best. Great pre-game spot before events at Bridgestone Arena!
Chaney LumMay 30, 2016Great food, great music, but a little too loud. All of us enjoyed the pulled pork. Worth one visit, up to you if you want to go back.- Ken GrossApril 13, 2016Music was great. Typical bar food choices. Pricing is within reason. If it's a beautiful day then it's awesome to sit upstairs.
Carr SlaytonAugust 16, 2013Head to the rooftop. Melody is the server to meet - she is fantastic! She is the sweetest person ever! And knows your hankering before you tell her.
Paula MadeiraMay 23, 2018So so so good!! The brisket and the ribs were divine. But oh my good the brisket!!!
Jonny McCormickSeptember 2, 2016The service is incredible. The music is pumping and the ribs...oh my goodness the ribs... 😍
Diane JedinakJune 7, 2012I'll give them that it was CMA Fest week and they were really busy, but our waiter sucked!! The pulled pork sandwiches are AMAZING though! Highly recommended!
Rachel KSeptember 2, 2017Late night food options, which is nice. Mozzarella sticks came out kind of cold though, as did the pulled pork sandwich.- Robert FreemanApril 10, 2016The pulled chicken sandwich is amazing! Best I've ever had, and I'm from Texas!
Michael SzymczakFebruary 8, 2014Everything you need in life: booze, broads, bands and BBQ. Get the ribs. They'll change you.
Zach HedrickFebruary 12, 2015Ribs weren't the most amazing thing I've ever had. Did enjoy the brisket though!
Kristen CallahanApril 16, 2012Corn cakes - totally not what I was expecting, but still really good. Great place to eat and enjoy live music.
Willy HrachovinaSeptember 23, 2013This place gets very busy before a concert. May be hard to find a seat, but waiters/waitresses provide good service.
Alexa PotockiSeptember 2, 2013Great atmosphere and live music. The perfect start to our downtown experience.
Kellie FarrellJanuary 19, 2014Had a good time!! Great singer in there, Parker James Willingham. Check him out!
ChevroletOctober 24, 2011You can listen to live music, watch a sports game or relax on the open-air rooftop patio.
Jason BaxterSeptember 20, 2016The ribs were not great but they were edible. They tasted like frozen ribs that I could make myself. I expected better quality, but I think you just have to go off Broadway to get decent food.
Mark AndersonSeptember 27, 2013Thursday night 10:30, fantastic band moves from Honky Tonk down to Rippys
Nat HarwardSeptember 11, 2011Everyone says Jack's is the place to go, but it closes at 11. So pop over here for your later night BBQ nosh.
Emily SandersAugust 15, 2014We tried to grab a table & were told we had to find seats at the bar instead. They were saving the tables for diners. It was 9pm & no food at any other tables anywhere! Grrr...
Amy PriceFebruary 16, 2014Handed bartender a twenty, she pretended it was a ten. Guess they make their own tips?
Brandon FowlerDecember 18, 2010service was very good ... ribs were amazing ... accidentally poured spicey but added the sweet anyway and it was great.
- Dave JonesJune 8, 2011Rooftop bar live music overlooking Broadway...quick service and great pulled pork!
Great ribs. If you need to talk, sit upstairs. The band can be loud. Great outdoor eating in the summer on the patio Read more
Christine BillmanMarch 25, 2012They have quality toilet paper here. How awesome is that!!! Fantastic music too!
Brian RippyJanuary 26, 2012Great BBQ and hey, the name says it all! With a name like Rippy, it has to be good.
