Always a fan of Ripka’s -usually never disappoints in food or atmosphere. I did witness something the other day upon my visit that was a bit unnerving while Covid concerns are heightened. A worker preparing food was not wearing a mask properly and it was only covering his mouth. As most know, the correct way is to have your mouth AND nose covered and this is very critical when preparing food. We know it is annoying to wear masks but please, be very cautious when it comes to this.

The Owner is a very nice person I had bought a Groupon I’ve been dealing with him for a very long time I end up in the hospital for a long time and he ordered it for me last night and that most places will honor it if it’s expired. It was my first time there and we had a really good time with my Family. The food was great and very hot. We we’ll be back. 

Business response:

It was nice to finally meet you (and your family)after your long and awful ordeals. Be well

The last 2 times I’ve eaten there I had to send back the chicken fingers bc they were still cold inside. The buffalo tenders were cold inside as well!! The owner didn’t seem to care! Won’t be going back again! 

Business response:

What makes you think the owner doesn't care? Anyone care to chime in? I care deeply about my business and my guests. There is ZERO reason you should post that I don't care. That's quite reckless. You don't even know me. The Cook got it wrong...more than once..that's on me. But to just put that out there like that is fascinating. Your entitled to your opinions and welcome to criticize, by all means. Critical reviews are more helpful than glowing reviews, but certainly don't post something that's not true. Did you ask for me? ... read more

I got just what I wanted and it was fantastic. Three shrimp cocktail, seven oysters and a hot buttered lobster roll with cole slaw. Served by friendly, helpful staff. Good sanitation practices and they’re being enforced. Love this place and its gracious and fun loving proprietor. 

Business response:

Thank you 😃

Easy to pick up and bring back to your spot on the beach. My husband enjoyed the lobster roll and steamed potatoes while I picked the chili cheese hot dog and corn on the cob. Good portions and tasty food/drinks! My only criticism is I wish they offered a side of butter for the corn on the cob.
