We so badly wanted to write a good review about this restaurant, unfortunately however we really…read morecan't. The problem was the server (who was also the bartender), who was distracted and seemed incompetent. When I asked about the price of an item on the menu, she couldn't tell me. She had to go to the "new" electronic cashier system she was using and figure it out. We then ordered. Our dinners arrived and mine was completely different from what I ordered. When I asked about it, she looked embarrassed, apologized and then gave me a discount (not sure how much it was, as we didn't receive an itemized receipt). We sat at one end of the bar and their were two male patrons at the far end. She spent her entire evening talking with the two men and seemed indifferent to us. The saving grace for the evening was the owner, who is a delightful lady and came up to chat with us for a bit to just see how we were doing.

Ten stars for the wonderful folks running this place. All the FOH were helpful and friendly, and our young server was fun to chat with. Methinks we may be back every time we stay at Potholes...

**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.

To give this review some context, my wife and I support pretty much all of the bars in town...Ten…read morePin, Rick's, Sporty's, Ripple, ML Tap House, Rock Top, Michaels, Paradise, Bob's, Enzo, Danny's...to name a few. This is a small community and the options are somewhat limited to be sure. Every establishment has it's quirks and that's to be expected...we LOVE a good dive bar. After trying to visit and it being closed on a couple of occasions, we finally went to Chilly Mack's for the first (and last) time last night, March 27, 2026 at 8pm. First thing we noticed was the musty smell. There's no carpet in there so you gotta wonder where it's coming from. Next thing we noticed is that there are only 2 other patrons in the entire bar...at 8pm on a Friday night. The barkeep takes our drink order and is quick to deliver. I asked why it's so dead and he said it would be packed after 10pm. (We'd just left Ripple and it was pretty busy.) That's the extent of our interaction with him until we tabbed out. Didn't ask if we wanted food, didn't check to see how the drinks were...all he did the entire time was talk to the two other people there who were obviously his friends. Actually, a couple of younger ladies came in about 10 minutes after we got there, got some drinks and were then ignored like we were. Couple of other things that caught our attention. 1. The menu on the board looked decent for a dive bar...but again, we weren't offered an actual menu or asked if we wanted food. 2. We understand that it isn't named "CHILI MAC'S"...it's CHILLY MACK'S...but wouldn't you wanna play on that and make damned sure you have the best chili mac and/or every viable variation thereof in town? This place has absolutely no identity. 3. There were 6 taps but only 4 being used. 4. Lots of TVs above the bar...that was nice. We finished our drinks, tabbed out and went to Rick's. We got there around 8:30pm and it, just like Ripple, was very busy. Hmmm. It's hard to imagine a drinking establishment (Chilly Mack's) can survive on only being busy after 10pm on a Friday night? With all that being said, we won't be visiting Chilly Mack's again which is very disappointing. We weren't expecting a lot...it IS a dive bar and we knew that going in...but this was not a positive experience. We wish the new ownership the best of luck for the future.

With 4's we gave it a try for breakfast burritos on the go. Can't really mees that up....or can you? First let me just say, the hostess/cashier was really nice & accommodating. When asked what was in the breakfast burritos, I was told egg, cheese, & meat. Not true, there was also rice & beans which made it challenging to taste the eggs. I ordered 2 w/chorizo burritos, was charged for Huevos, hmmmmm that is $6 more & not what I ordered. Was told that she didn't see the burrito button on register so was given $4 back. Not quite what I was overcharged but I already had her flustered so I felt bad. All in all the burritos were OK, chips were meh, salsa bar had options but not very flavorful & the regular salsa was not from scratch. Probably will not be back, I mean I do have many others to try out next time I am in the area.
