Jalapeños were fresh and pickled homemade yummy. Bacon was overcooked: burnt in places but still pretty good. You have to have your full order in by 8:00 pm and we were told that as soon as we walked in at 7:30. Service was efficient. lol. The server would do "drive by drop offs" without stopping or saying anything. Atmosphere/ ambiance very nice. There are several tables that overlook the river. We weren't lucky enough to score one, but they looked great.

I had been going to their other spot about a mile up the road for a while but after a cold winter night of camping this ended up being the perfect post-adventure stop. The exterior already looks incredible, and it only gets better once you step inside. There's a beautiful fireplace, huge windows with great views, and a thoughtful mix of seating low tops, high tops, and spacious bar seating. That's just the upper level. The lower level wasn't open yet this weekend, but I took a peek and it looks incredibly cozy, with great wall decor and a really inviting layout. The food was fantastic and not just because I was coming off campsite meals. Everything was genuinely great. The cucumber appetizer dish reminded me of pepinos con chile and was especially good, and you really can't go wrong with the pizza here. The staff were also wonderful. You could tell they were adjusting to a brand-new space, but they were still warm, attentive, and clearly excited to be there. I'm already looking forward to coming back, especially after hikes and more camping trips. This place is going to be a go-to

Melted cheeses and juices dripping down your hands...grab extra napkins! Beautiful and fresh buns pull it together for the best burger in the mountains, perhaps Colorado. Pair it with a unique micro-brew and OMG's. The pizzas are also inspirational and the turkey sandwich...BEST! Give the kitchen a raise. I miss the beach from the old location and the memories created down there with our high school sports teams. I hope the vibes continue at the new residences.

Unfortunately the roll they serve it on is a bit much but is evened out by the price and the crispy tots. I only had an NA beer there but thought it was pretty tasty. I think we got lucky sitting at the bar but we had great service. The bartender working behind the counter clearly loved his job and was really engaging when taking our orders. I have been here a few times and the service and food can be a hit or miss but this last time gave it another star in my book. One drawback being the noise level can get pretty loud and the self serve water station is weird when you're sitting at a table already. Overall it's a great spot with really great potential

If you've never had a Colorado "mountain pie," it's worth trying. The crust is thick around the edge and they actually make the dough with honey instead of sugar, which gives it a slightly sweet flavor. When you finish the pizza, you drizzle honey on the crust and eat it almost like a dessert -- something I had never seen before but it was really good. Food quality was great and the staff were friendly and quick. I'm vegetarian and had no issues ordering -- plenty of options and they're happy to accommodate meat-free orders. Overall just a really fun stop in Idaho Springs. Good food, a unique local pizza style, and a cool place to sit for a bit if you're passing through the mountains

My family ordered dinner from Ripple last night. Since Ripple took over the old JJ Madwell's…read morebuilding, we wanted to give them a fair shot. We try hard to support local businesses, especially here in Conifer where dining options are somewhat limited. We ordered: * a large pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, * a small tossed salad, * and four cheesy bread rolls. Total cost: about $50. The first surprise came when we were told it would take an hour to prepare the order. It was still fairly early in the day, so we assumed maybe they were crafting something extraordinary back there. You shouldn't rush a master chef, after all. When we finally got the food home, the disappointment set in immediately. The pizza looked... medically concerning. Pale. Almost white. It had the visual energy of a cafeteria tortilla with low self-esteem. Then we noticed the toppings. My wife actually poked at the pizza and said, "Maybe the toppings are under the cheese?" They were not. The pepperoni deserves special recognition because I have never seen pepperoni sliced this small or this thin in my life. These tiny little discs were maybe half an inch across. Ripple must have contacted the pepperoni manufacturer directly and said: "I need pepperoni so tiny and so sparse that customers can technically call it a pepperoni pizza, while minimizing any risk of flavor." Even with the microscopic dimensions, they still used them sparingly. The jalapeños were equally scarce. A few lonely little fragments scattered across the surface like survivors of a great topping shortage. The salad was okay, although it's admittedly difficult to sabotage a bowl of lettuce. The cheesy bread rolls did, in fairness, contain both bread and cheese, so technically they fulfilled the contract. Honestly, I believe most frozen supermarket pizzas would outperform this pizza in appearance and flavor, all at a fraction of the cost. We genuinely wanted to like Ripple. We like supporting local restaurants. But too many places in Conifer seem to operate on the assumption that limited competition means they don't really have to try very hard. So we did our duty. We tried it once. But we won't be back.
