Ripe Eatery

Good working and staffing

Good place and good atmosphere

i pay, and sit myself outside at a table that will soon be cleared because, hey, it will be unoccupied. obviously when it is time to be sat, i will gladly and obviously move; however, that time had not yet come, and probably would not during the duration of my wait, since i only ordered a coffee to-go. the hostesses start to clean the table, and rudely told me “you Need to move. I am going to clean this table”. I just look at her in utter shock, from being initially spoken so rudely to, right off the bat, and then look away, back to my so rudely interrupted phone call. He hears it, too, and is shocked. At this time, the manage, Isaac, come out to literally YELL at me “THEY ASKED YOU TO MOVE. THERE IS A RESERVATION”. (Mind you, the ladies NEVER told me there was a reservation, but, Isaac, lied to me and said they told him so, even when he was not there to witness it). I, too, look at him in utter shock, after having done absolutely nothing but sit and wait for coffee that would have been out to me sooner than that table was to be sat. This is also the SECOND time he treats me poorly. I get up then walk inside to get my coffee, as there is no other place to sit. I ask for Isaac to speak with him, and calmly tell him “not to ever talk to me like that”. I pulled him off to the side, and whispered it to him, as to not cause a scene. He immediately became defensive, as to look intimidating, and like a big-shot w a vendetta to embarrass me, so he can feel important in that moment, and YELLS once again, “ YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN WAIT OUTSIDE” as he points to the front door. (Mind you, I still have not grabbed my coffee). I walk over, grab my coffee shortly thereafter, then ask someone for the GM’s card, in complete disappointment, as I now feel uncomfortable going around my own neighborhood where staff like this is allowed to mistreat their patrons who have done nothing to warrant such negative and unjust behavior.

This place just knocks it out of the ball park.
Awesome contemporary naturally healthy food.
My salmon was the best I've ever had and the Brussels sprouts in a complex lime citrus based juice were absolutely delicious. Please leave some for me.

I took my teenage son and preschool daughter stopped here for a late lunch one afternoon. Let me first say, the dishes are delicious! But the prices.... you should know going in that a grilled cheese sandwich is $9.00. And that is the cheapest thing on the menu. It was, however, the best grilled cheese I have ever had, with goat cheese and roasted green chilis on it. For my family to have a casual lunch we spent a fortune.

I always come here for my favorite.. Turkey Pesto on wheat bread..delicious. Food is great and the people are always very friendly.

My husband and I frequently visit RIPE for dinner. The food is fantastic. The restaurant has a cool vibe and it reminds me of a place you would find in Austin. My favorite dishes are the veggie lasagna and the thai peanut noodles (when its put on the dinner menu). Everything though is really great.
