Nice selection of both sweet and savory crepes. I had La Parisian which is a breakfast crepe with egg, onions, banana peppers and cheese. I added ham as well. The crepe was very tender and the filling was enough to fill me up but it was so good I would have loved a bit more for the price. Some of the other savory crepes looked go so will stop for lunch soon.

Rip's Cafe is a bar in Struthers area well known for its Slovak/Polish food especially the "Hunky…read morePlatter." I very randomly discovered this bar while in the area (Youngstown). I was really craving Eastern European food that tastes like home. All of the Eastern European restaurants were closed on Sunday except Rip's. I wasn't expecting much to be honest and really liked my time here. AMBIANCE: Basic dive bar. Humble surroundings. Plenty of TV's at the bar. Dim space. While this ambiance is not usually my cup of tea, I felt very comfortable here. Regulars were very nice and welcoming. FOOD/DRINKS: I ordered a glass of Moscato ($4). The wine brand was Barefoot. I don't drink this tier of wine to be honest. But I understand that dive bars don't stock upscale wine. A glass of wine was good. I ordered a few appetizers - Pirohy (6 pierogis, $6.99), one stuffed cabbage ($8.99), and 2 haluski ($13.98). The food was excellent for a dive bar and in general. I am a very tough critic of the food from my part of the world - Eastern Europe. This food was delicious and well done. It didn't taste frozen, but rather homemade. Everything was well salted and had enough butter. I was especially impressed with haluski and ordered multiple orders. I felt like for appetizers the portions were generous. The bartender mentioned that Hunky Platter ($16.99) is a popular choice. It comes with one stuffed cabbage, three pirohy, and a side of halusky. Essentially, I ordered the same thing but in larger quantity. SERVICE: The service was super friendly considering this is a dive. The bartender ensured I was happy, suggested different dishes, and asked personal questions. It was very pleasant interaction. I'm not a dive gal, but I'll absolutely be returning. The food is absolutely delicious. It's like a hidden gem for quality dinner. I can't wait to experience other menu items next time. Go experience Hunky Platter, you'll love it!

Rip's Hunky Platter was AMAZING! (I couldn't find current menu pics so I've attached them here)read more

Baristas are friendly and always make you feel like valued customers. They support local artists by selling local goods and rotating artwork on the walls, so make sure to check those out too. Prices have increased over the years so it's not the cheapest coffee around, but I think this is expected in today's economy and the regulars don't mind. Support local and check them out :)
