I love Ripe it's always been a good experience with food and wait staff. It is getting a little pricey.

The service was horrible to start. The alcohol beverages were garbage as well and were watery. We ordered med rare steak and was over cooked. The prices are high as well for the little food you get. They do not know how to poach and egg for the eggs Benedict meals. The smoked salmon was not even smoked it was cooked. Definitely was a first and last time place to go. read more

Love Ripe the food is fresh and very good. Love the Triple B burger, the sweat potato fries are delicious. Service is good and the owner is a great kind person read more

Good food. Meatloaf is my go to... The pilsner beer on draft is another go to also. The salads are good too.

Use to go to this restaurant once a week. Recently went in June 2021. I was disappointed with Pasta Salmon dish. See pic, not much salmon! I requested to speak with manager several times before he reluctantly came to the table. Sadly he was poorly trained in customer service. He said they prepare the dish with 3 ounces of salmon but it looked a lot less. Sad to see the restaurant has gone down hill. read more

I read the Yelp reviews before eating at Ripe. A couple of friends also mentioned it was good. I'm glad we tried it because it was good. I had the poached pear salad with sliced pears, cashews and goat cheese. It was tasty and very filling. It also came with a small slice of bread. I added grilled chicken to the salad. I forget what the pears were soaked in but it was great! My boyfriend had some kind of chicken. He said it was alright but had too much of a garlic flavor. We also had their brownie/sheet cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was good too. There are two reasons why I give Ripe 4 stars. The first is that it's pricey. They have specials on certain days of the week which is good. They don't seem to have any on salads unless I missed that. Our meal was $47! That's a bit more than what we usually pay when going out to eat. This was only for lunch too! I don't think it was from the dinner menu. I'm not too sure but $47 is quite pricey imo. The second reason why I give it 4 stars is because of the waitress we had. She was good and brought our food out pretty fast. She wasn't really friendly. She seemed like she was in a hurry. I'm not sure what was happening there. She wasn't terrible, though. Would I come back? Yes I would. I'd have this salad or a hamburger next time. Ripe also offers vegan and vegetarian options. Overall, my first time at Ripe was good. read more

OMG THE FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT IS AMAZING I absolutely loved this dish with the sweet potato fries. I asked for extra side of their chipotle mayo to go with the fries and I had the best lunch ever. My boyfriend got the ahi tuna sandwich which was also very very good. I liked how the outside of the tuna was a little crispy. We ordered the maple pecan cheesecake for desert and it was so good! Could use more pecans but I live nuts I also would have liked the bottom to be a thicker layer of crust but that's getting picky. Such a great lunch. Good atmosphere. A little expensive. I was disappointed that they charged me for two sides of aioli when the meals are already priced so high. But other than that it was great! read more

Very good food and service. Breakfast especially good. Like to go early because it gets busy.

Always great food, nice wine and beer selection and attentive service. I do miss the live music on the patio during warm Saturday nights. Maybe they'll bring it back. read more

Went to Ripe twice this week, both times with out of town friends so they could experience a local favorite of mine. I ordered a hamburger on my first visit this week...maybe the best I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and so flavorful. On my next visit I had the Moroccan salad. It too was fresh and flavorful. Both times I brought some home as the portions are huge. read more

The deviled eggs didn't have much flavor, but the fried chicken was awesome! Music want too loud, fun atmosphere.

Loved this restaurant. I had the house salad and the pecan crusted salmon and everything was fabulous. Great presentation and flavors.

The menu and portions of food were really good I got my food pretty quick but ordered a salad-not too much cooking time other than the sirloin-so it was quick read more

Ripe is a great spot at all times of the day. I primarily visit for brunch on Saturday or Sunday. They have good drink specials, a nice selection of eggs benedicts, lots of delicious breakfast plates, and really good pancakes. I've never had to wait for a table during brunch hours. They have a nice dinner menu as well. I've been here several times at dinner and wouldn't hesitate to go again. With some sort of drink and food special every night if the week, they definitely keep it interesting. Finally, they have a drive-thru. Yep. That's right. A nice sit down restaurant with a drive thru. If you just want to get some takeout and eat at home, call ahead, pull up to the window, they'll pass over your food, pay, and you're good to go. read more

Very disappointed. I have been going to Ripe for many years and today restaurant was serving 4 or 5 tables. We were greeted and were seated and everyone forgot us. I asked the bus boy for help and he tried to get help. 2 waitresses all they did is look at as and ignore us. Unbelievable and unacceptable. We had to leave. As we were leaving we told them that not nobody helps us. The hostess and one of the waitresses did not show any concern. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager and same thing. Did not even ask my name or try to make it right. Hope the owner sees this as this will hurt his business. read more

This place is the definition of "Brunch Spot." There are so many options here so if you are more of a savory person or more of a sweet person, there are options for everyone! There are complementary biscuits and jam. The biscuits are like a honey wheat situation going on which I'm not a huge fan of (I'm more about the savory) but their jam is ON POINT. I've had their biscuits and gravy and the Brisket ranchero benedict and they were both delicious. The dishes usually come with beans and home fries. The other day my home fries were ultra crispy and warmed my soul. I don't like beans, but their black beans were flavorful...I would have eaten them all if I could get over the texture thing. read more

Terrible customer service from the hosts!!! Called ahead for a table for 5 and was told they have room and we could NOT put our name down because it was first come first serve. We arrived 2 minutes later and we're met with AWFUL hostess who told us it was then a 50-60 minutes. Even that is understandable, as I've worked in the restaurant industry and know that things happen suddenly. What I found completely unprofessional and unacceptable was the manner of the hostess, who was extremely rude and demanded to know who we spoke to on the phone, then had the nerve to say we spoke to the WRONG PERSON?! I'm sorry, last time I checked the host is supposed to be answering the phone in order to coordinate reservation/seating. To the host with purple hair, learn the meaning of hospitality and how to treat people with respect. read more

From the moment I walked into the cafe I was impressed with the happy colorful decor. The menu is so well rounded , great selection. I had the pear turkey sandwich with a fruit side. My husband had the all American omelette with fruit. So delicious! I highly recommend this place located in north west El Paso Texas. The staff is so friendly to boot ! read more

I ordered the meatloaf plate and the fried buttermilk chicken breast for pick up, with tip spent $40. Big mistake. These entrees are normally very good but this time the chicken had no flavor was was dry. The gravy was thick like glue and had a weird taste and texture. Gross... the meatloaf looked and smelled like dog food. Never again. I have ordered these plates before in the past and they were delicious. One of my friends told me the food had gotten bad and I didn't believe her, but now I fully agree with her. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Waste of time and money read more

This is a great place to eat and relax. Very tasty good. Service is great too! Friendly staff. I highly recommend it. It had a diverse menu. Something to please everyone. read more

It doesn't matter what time you come, this place always busy. But no worries, they are FAST. It's a big place, so you don't have to wait long. There were people waiting outside and inside, thought I had to wait for 30-45mins, but no! About 25mins. Not bad! Good place for breakfast/brunch. Had their biscuits while waiting for our food, it was very good. Glazed tops with strawberry jam on the side. I had the mushroom Benedict and it had the two large mushrooms (instead of the English muffin) with spinach, roasted tomatoes and light hollandaise sauce. Sides of black beans and potatoes. Very different from the original Benedict- and that was perfect (less carbs). read more

We went here for brunch. Feedback from the group was that the French toast was very good, sausage was good but the eggs were cold. My pancakes had no flavor and all of the coffee and hot chocolate was barely warm. read more

Horrible! Service was not good and there was a hair in one of my colleagues food. They charge extra for every single sauce on the menu. I am from out of town and I was excited to try this place. The 4 stars are unfortunately not an accurate rating. The manager was very nice. (The only good thing) read more

Love their poached pear salad with seared salmon on top!! That's all I ever get, but their entire menu looks delicious! This place is close to our home and we love that they have a drive-thru pick up window too! Definitely recommend Ripe!! read more

Great food, most of time, today was great. Had the French toast, and steak Benedict with hash. Great Flickr, very duking. I was hoping on fried green tomatoes which was not in season. Ughh. Little short staffed that day, so the wait was long for everything. Just if in hurry look like not willing to stay. Other than that. Good as always. read more

We live up the road in Park Hills and it is by far our favorite restaurant. From the burgers (I recommend the Toreado burger) to the salmon to their weekend brunch, we have never had a bad meal there. Don't forget to ask what the soup is that day. Their soups are homemade; they feature a different one every day and they are delicious. The staff is friendly and efficient. They are all lovely but shout outs especially to Alyssa, Carolina and Jesus! If you haven't been there, try it. We don't go out much with COVID but when we do dine out, we go there. read more

Now here is the kind of place I'm used to hunting easily in other parts of the country, and a hidden gem in El Paso. Ripe is seriously unique in El Paso, which has a great assortment of any Mexican food you want and burger bars. The service has always been great, their beer and wine selection is phenomenal, and they have foods that you wont find anywhere else. They even have a small selection of vegan foods, which is what I tend to order, including a pasta dish with amazing cashew sauce. My memory for dish names fails me right now, but there is a polenta dish that I Love! My wife usually gets dishes with meat in it, and she always loves her food. It has been a great place to hang out with friends, loud and boisterous; or have a romantic date. We have been here for brunch and for dinner, and if the weather is nice will always sit outside. Their coffee is great too! The service, though slow at times (but I think it's an El Paso thing, more than a Ripe thing), has always been great, very friendly staff with great food and drink suggestions. We have been here close to 20 times and they have never gotten our order wrong. read more

This was a great place brunch. The food was great and the vibe was the perfect match! The wait staff was exceptional, our waitress was patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and checked on our large group very frequently. The drinks were pretty amazing (and they had unique brunch options)except they didn't have any peach purée for bellinis. Otherwise I was very happy with this restaurant and will return. read more

I went here because the menu choices looked good paired with the high star reviews. Each dish was off in flavor and felt like it was missing something. The Spinach Pistachio Pasta had a bit too much lemon and needed a savory like a goat cheese on top. My Arnold Palmer was all lemon juice without any sugar to balance the sour. The brussel sprouts had too much liquid and a touch too much balsamic vinegar. The kids mac and cheese had no bit to the cheese. Each dish was underwhelming and the meal was a disappointment. Service was on point, prompt and polite. The ambiance is nice not too loud and well balanced rooms to noise. read more

Delicious food. Very busy. Beautiful restaurant. Server was great. Checked on us several times throughout our meal. We will be back

This restaurant is always so good! We do both takeout and dine in, and it's consistently delicious. We have ordered many items on the menu, and we've never been disappointed. I love having a wonderful bistro like this in the neighborhood. read more

Fabulous food and service every single time we visit! The turkey avocado sandwich and house made chips are my absolute favorites.
