My toddler had space to play without interrupting anyone. I ordered fries right off the bat for said toddler and they came out quickly. Amazing fries and fry sauce, the sauce has a little bit of a kick to it which I enjoyed. For the table we had motz sticks and fried ravioli. The motz sticks had a nice cheese pull and were decent. I wasn't a fan of the ravioli, just personal preference. I ordered the working man burger and wow was I impressed with the HUGE well cooked patty, smoked cheese, bacon and garlic aioli. I could honestly only eat about 1/4 of the burger after the appetizers. I can however confirm the burger and fries reheated well at home in the microwave.

The restaurant theme is airplanes decorated with airplane items throughout. The interior is large with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor and bar area with seats. As others have said in prior reviews, the menu can be limited at times. We went on a Sunday night during Watershed weekend so it made sense that they were out of some items. For example, we were told there were no burgers or paninis available that night. Too bad as I had wanted to try the tri tip panini. Darn. We ordered flatbread pizzas. I had the Spitfire which had smoked pork over BBQ sauce, cheese blend, red onion, black olives and mushrooms. I read in a different Yelp review that they smoke their own pork, so I had to get this one. It was by far, the favorite one! My wife tried the Falcon which has ham, pepperoni, sausage, salami, bacon, marinara sauce and cheese blend. For some reason this one was sorta "meh". Maybe cuz we had the wonderful Spitfire flatbread to compare it to? Along with dinner I tried the Beach Bum (another prior Yelp review recommendation!) which is a beer of half Kona Big Wave and half Mango Cart. This beer blend is perfect for hot Summer nights! Overall, we had great service from the do-it-all bartender. He was super nice and friendly and the prices were reasonable. I would return when in the area in the future but would go earlier in the day to try some of the other items before they run out.

This used to be the Sand Bar, and thankfully, it is not as sleazy as it was under that name!…read more Their patio is covered and has a trellis and vines on one side, and they apparently allow smoking out there (is this even legal? I thought smoking had to be 25 feet away from all entrances?). We went to see a band there and they were playing outside, but the patio was full of smoke so we opted against listening to the band and sat indoors, which was fine until they opened the door and let the smoke into the building. They have a bar outside as well, but it is cash only...so bring cash if you plan to listen to a band play here. The food was really good, so I'll throw a 2nd star for that, but I doubt we'll be back. If you're a smoker, this would be a great place, I suppose, but I quit over 10 years ago and don't want to sit in a place that reeks of smoke. My party left after we finished our dinner and went somewhere else.

A couple of minutes later, someone took our drink order, and we got our drinks after another 5-6 minutes. We then ordered burgers and chili. 40 minutes later--yes, 40 minutes--we finally received our food. In all that time, no one checked in or offered drink refills. After finishing our meal, we waited another 10-15 minutes with no sign of our server. We eventually had to stand up just to get someone's attention so we could leave. Maybe it was just an off day, but based on this experience, I'd have a really hard time coming back. If I could leave less than one star I would have.

As others have noted in reviews, the service is poor, or nonexistent most of the time--maybe 85%. I…read moredon't usually post on sites like this, but I also saw a review where someone mentioned theft. Two weeks ago, I ordered a beer and was told the price verbally. I paid in cash, but I didn't get the correct change back--only bills. When I asked about the rest, the bartender said they don't give exact change. In other words, they stole about 70 cents. I wasn't too concerned until I read someone else's comment about a possible issue involving a credit card. If they're skimming change from every cash customer, that's basically an automatic "tip" built into every transaction. Unfortunately, they don't have much competition on the west side of Kennewick--especially for a place with pool tables and a layout that encourages you to move around. The free peanuts and popcorn are a nice touch, though. In summary, food is bar food, ambiance is ok, service is a zero and you need to watch out for being skimmed/scammed out of $.

The tacos were a 10 out of 10, the fire pit was awesome outside and I note several little improvements wherever I look. Under the old ownership, things seemed to be slipping toward the end, but all that is fixed now. I haven't been at this place for a couple of years and was passing through so I thought I'd give it a shot, and I'm super glad I did. It is once again on my list of cool places to stop in my travels. To the new owners --well done.

Well... we finally did it... and shame on us for waiting so long. Such a very cool place and the vibe was great. An open concept inside, with a couple spots outdoors as you enter inside. My wife and I decided to split our meals and we ended up ordering the Chicken Tinga Street Tacos, as well as, a platter of Chicken Nachos. Both very delicious and the cilantro is simply supreme on this! The radishes was a nice touch, with some sauce over corn tortillas with that Cotiga cheese. I would prefer flour, but I'll take it! We also had the Saison which was light, a bit dry, crisp and sort of lemony. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and the neighboring tables. Had some good conversations with local folks. As always, enjoy and Happy Mule Elking!

**Ripple Tavern: A Glorious Watering Hole That Betrays Its Own Name**…read more Let's get one thing straight--the **Ripple Tavern** is an absolute treasure. The booze selection? **Exquisite.** Whether you're craving a craft cocktail with the precision of a master mixologist or a whiskey so smooth it makes time stand still, **they've got it all**. The bartenders? **The best in the business.** They're friendly, fast, and somehow remember your drink order better than you do. This place is a **haven of hospitality**, a **sanctuary of spirits**, and a **cathedral of good times**. But here's the thing--**where is the Ripple?** I walked into the Ripple Tavern expecting one thing above all else: **Ripple Fortified Wine**, the legendary cheap nectar famously chugged by **Redd Foxx** as Fred G. Sanford on *Sanford and Son*. And what did I find? A **complete and utter absence of Ripple**. None. Not a single dusty bottle hidden behind the bar, not a forgotten case tucked away in the back. **A travesty. A betrayal. A crime against nostalgia itself.** Imagine the audacity of naming a bar **Ripple Tavern** and **refusing** to serve the drink that made junkyard philosophers out of America's finest. How dare they rob patrons of the chance to channel their inner Fred Sanford, hoisting a bottle, delivering an impassioned rant, and clutching their chest in mock heart attack fashion while hollering, "Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join ya, honey!" If ever there were a place where such theatrics should be encouraged, **it is here**. And yet, **Ripple Tavern** refuses to complete its destiny. The oversight is so egregious that I fear a disturbance in the cosmic order--*Sanford and Son* reruns may now play slightly out of sync, junkyards across America may feel inexplicably lonely, and somewhere, deep in the heart of television history, Redd Foxx himself may be shaking his head in disapproval. Still, five stars. **Because even without Ripple, this place is a glorious den of liquid joy.** But know this--if ever they decide to **right this wrong**, if ever a bottle of **Ripple Fortified Wine** finally takes its rightful place behind that bar, then--and only then--will **Ripple Tavern** achieve **true greatness**. Until that day arrives, I shall sip my whiskey with dignity--while quietly mourning what could have been.
