I almost got the Smokehouse Nachos, because I love a good smoked-meat-and-chip situation at a barbecue joint. But then mine eyes doth glanceth upon the words "Brisket Birria Sandwich" on the menu, and I had to pivot. I'm so glad that I went with my heart. The Brisket Birria Sandwich at Ripple & Company consists of smoked brisket, white cheddar, red onions and cilantro, all melted and pressed between a roll, and served with birria consomme. You dip the sandwich in the consomme and eat, kind of like a French dip. Dip and eat, dip and eat, until you can't dip and eat anymore, either because it's all gone or because your stomach is about to burst. It's a big sandwich, and it is also served with incredibly delicious fries, which doesn't help with the stomach bursting thing. This whole meal is amazing and I would visit Ripple & Company just to eat this exact thing again. I visited with people who ate at Ripple & Company quite frequently, and they got their favorites: The Black & Gold Pub Burger, and the Cajun Shrimp Tacos, with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts. Everyone enjoyed everything. As a nice surprise, one of my dining mates ordered the Smokehouse Nachos for us to share, as if we didn't have enough food. But there's a different chamber in my stomach for chips and nachos, and luckily, that chamber was empty, so it worked out just fine. The nachos are great, with tender pieces of shredded pork, pickled jalapenos, a vegetable mix, green onions and chipotle ranch drizzled on top. The service here is great: We were seated right away, ordered right way, and our food came out within a good amount of time. The decor is car and transportation themed, with traffic signs and hubcaps hung up on the walls. Very fun. read more

Meh. As cool as it looked inside, I found the functional stop light annoying. Service was mediocre. I feel like everyone was emotionless. It was kinda creepy. The spoon bread was not good. AND, not that I'm counting this against them, but how are you gonna sell me spoon bread and not give me a spoon? Lol. Shrimp tacos were also meh. Very bitter. Shrimp was a good size, but lacking something in the flavor department. The fries were good though. My friend complained about her burger being good, but excessively greasy. Sure enough, I saw a pool of grease on her plate that was dripping out of her burger. I wish I had taken a picture read more

Ripple & Co. was recommended by my coworkers so we come and try it out. Once we walk in, a customer praised about the brisket when she was walking out. Brisket it is. Got the brisket 1/2 pound dinner and the Bazingas corn fritters appetizer. Brisket is good, good flavor from the seasoning and smoke. Dry. But bbq sauce can fix that. Sides are very good too. I like the spoonbread (corn cake), taste like a softer corn bread. Glazed carrots are good too Bazingas corn fritters. I don't see that very often in other restaurants. If u like corn bread then u have to try this too. Everything was good. Definitely coming back if I had a chance read more

Heard great things about this place. Host and hostess don't really care that you're there. Service was not very attentive. Food wasn't great, not even good. But the beer was cold. There were four of us and nobody liked their food. The fried balls we had as an appetizer were the best thing. It all went downhill from there. read more

Well. We've been to a lot of restaurants in this area over the past year, while visiting Purdue. This is "it" for us. Absolutely fabulous. Our table had Korean tacos, a brisket sandwich, and brisket and grits. Everything was delicious. The baked beans are wonderful. The queso is great. The atmosphere is loud and lively with fun decor, and the service was excellent. We will be here every visit now. read more

Party of two, both highly satisfied. This was a first visit for the both of us and we took suggestions from our server who said he had worked here a long time. We both would re-order the same dishes and recommend them: brisket sandwich with fries and brisket tacos with tortilla chips and salsa. The salsa tasted homemade. To accompany my meal, I got a lime margarita which also tasted homemade, the real deal. Our server was as friendly yet fast and efficient for a Friday night. No complaints here. read more

On this day, we visited Ripple and Company in Lafayette, IN after a weekend at Purdue. Ripple & Co. was not our first choice, but, as luck would have it, it will be added to the roster of staples when in town. If you haven't been, this place is awesome in so many ways! When you walk in you get transported into a very chic and hip nostalgic place mimicking days of old with motor shop signs and old vinyl record albums displayed on the walls. The flow is very open and airy and very inviting. As soon as we entered we were greeted as old friends and added to a list. It wasn't a long wait, even on this busiest of weekends. Out waiter was great, friendly, quick and very knowledgeable about the menu. But... The real reason we were there, was the food. And it did not disappoint! We ordered the Chili Lime Steak Sandwich, a Chili Lime Flank Steak with Creamy Guacamole, Caramelized Onions, Pickled Jalapeno & Smoked Cheddar & Red Pepper Chimichurri on A Baguette with a bit of heat and a complex but delicious combination of flavor that just set your taste buds ablaze! Also ordered the Breakfast Cubano, A House Smoked Pulled Pork, Sliced Ham & Capicola, Swiss Cheese, w/ Dijon Mustard, House Sweet & Spicy Pickles, & a Fried Egg on a Hoagie with Crispy Cheddar Potatoes. This was a close replica of a sandwich you'd find in Miami's Calle Ocho and was very pleased to find that in Indiana. The next dishes were a huge hit! The Chicken and Biscuits topped w/ Sausage Gravy, Hash & an Over Easy Egg had ONE OF THE BEST gravy's I've ever tasted! The Company Room Breakfast consisting of Two Eggs, One Biscuit & Gravy, Crispy Cheddar Potatoes, Two Slices of Applewood Smoked Bacon, w/ Toast, & Fresh Fruit. Lastly was the Steak & Eggs, Two Filet Medallions cooked to medium w/ Chipotle Hollandaise. Two Over Easy Eggs & Crispy Cheddar Potatoes. The steak was amazing! We had a Bloody Mary, which was spicy and well balanced, a Grapefruit Mimosa that was really good and a Rapberry Bellini that was incredibly soft, yet sophisticated. Needless to say to say we will return, and hope to see you guys here! read more

Came here for lunch on Saturday. It wasn't too busy so getting seated wasn't an issue. Our waitress was very attentive and looked like they had more staff than needed. The inside is a nice setting. The bar area is very cool. I liked the decor and the variety of options. I had the Boiler Espresso cocktail with cream which was very good. As for my meal, I did pulled pork. The pork was tasty but there was quite a bit of fat on it. It's bigger chunks and not the typical shred that most places serve. The Mac and Cheese side was good but cold in a few spots. The spoon bread was different but good. I don't think I would do pulled pork again if I come back. I'd either do the French Toast brunch meal or a burger. read more

Great place! Chris accommodated our party nicely after our reservation at another restaurant didn't work out. Nick provided excellent service and we could not be more please with his attention. Being from Charleston, SC, we know good food and Ripple & Co. provided a wonderful experience to match the best. Thank you so much. read more

Super clean establishment with the scent of so much comfort food when you walk through the doors! We came here two days in a row because the food and service was so good the first night. Had the rib tips with sweet sauce and they were melt in your mouth good with that sweet bbq sauce! We then ordered the fish and chips and also the brisket. Both meals were amazing! The cuts of fish are thick and fresh! Can back for day two at lunchtime and greeted right through the doors and sat in a great spot to watch the college and pro sports in the tv's. This time I had the bursting with flavor mushroom and swiss burger with a must have horsey sauce that pulls it all together! I'm celiac and had the gf brioche bun which was toasted and crispy around the edges! My husband this time had a Bloody Mary and the black and blue salad that he loved. We then decided to go for it and order the death by chocolate cake...WOW! Soooo good! Very family friendly and great ambiance. All staff were friendly and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. We will visit here again and again as we live little over an hour away. Worth the drive! As for some of these reviews I've read about poor food and no flavor all I can say is they must of been in bad moods to begin with cause those reviews should be dismissed! read more

Love Ripple and co. for low-key pub food. The service is always great and the food is yummy. They have a blinking stop light and were very nice and accommodating when we asked them to turn it off. It's nice to go somewhere where the customer service is paramount. They have TV's on but they aren't blaring in your ear. read more

We were so excited to go here while in town for the Midwest Women's Tournament the first weekend of June. I ordered the Smothered Chorizo Bowl. It had about 2 tablespoons of overcooked chorizo. Tbat's it. Not hardly any!! No avacado crema as listed on the menu. Said it would be smothered in queso. So little queso!!! I do not recommend. read more

First time here was for a Saturday lunch and came in here randomly with no reservations and I don't think they take any. We got very lucky with the parking right in front on the street and it is free. This part of town has a lot of restaurants and shops in parking is and can be hard to find. Did the corn sides really cute very American rustic nostalgic. I think this is a newer place. The menu is actually quite diverse and nice, even though it does fit on one page. It was also great to see the alcohol and nonalcoholic selections. We actually went nonalcoholic and we're very happy. The food portions are actually very fair considering the price and everything was tasty. . Our waitress was super friendly, and very patient with us which I greatly appreciate. It seems like there is quite a few locals and or college students working here and let me say that they all had a great attitude and we're all working away which was great to see. I would definitely come back here and would consider this a new find on the street and a good alternative. read more

I can not give an experience five stars if I did not eat there. I can say, however, all of the food that we saw past by looked really good. We went in on a cool Sunday morning to grab a Bloody Mary and a Mimosa. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and promptly seated in the bar area. It was comfortably busy but not packed. The longer we sat there, the busier it got. We were there at approximately 1130am. My wife ordered a Bloody Mary and I got a Mimosa. After the server walked away, I noticed that they offer 'Mimosa Bottle Service'. I was surprised that our server did not try the upsell. $22 for a $5 bottle of Champagne and some OJ seems like a very profitable upsell. When she brought back our drinks, I asked if I could upgrade to the bottle and she gladly brought out a bottle of Champagne. The Bloody Mary was not too spicy and my wife really enjoyed it and I always enjoy a good Mimosa. I enjoy the remodel that they have done but it is a tad confusing. Behind the bar are car hubcaps. On the wall next to it are framed record albums. Hanging above is a 'crew' boat from a college rowing team. Maybe there is no 'theme' but if there is one, I am not sure what it is. We always enjoy Ripple & Company and hopefully we will be able to plan better and enjoy the brunch. read more

I'm so excited to write this review!!!! Me and my friends went to a special event....wine/dinner pairing...and my gods, it was as WELL worth the ticket price. Please attend these events. It was a four course dinner, with PERFECTLY paired wines. We were given two drink tickets, so we were able to enjoy a pre dinner drink as well as a post dinner drink. The chef described each dish as it was being served by some of the most professional, and courteous servers I've experienced in Lafayette. He seemed a bit shy, which was so cute. I love humble people especially when they're as talented as this man is...he truly loves giving his guests a spectacular dining experience. The wine distributor was on site giving detailed descriptions of each wine. I love that!!! We had an opportunity to speak with the wine distributor, and she told us she met with the chef, the owner, and others, and for each of these events it's a very well thought out, and time consuming process taking into consideration time of year, and in-season foods. It shows. The space where the dinner is held is their private event space. It can be rented out for any event, and it is quite impressive. Elegant. Spacious. Fantastic ambiance. If I ever have a reason to celebrate, they will definitely be who I go with. Please consider them for your next event. Go and check out the space. The waitstaff are impeccable and the management is attentive and the chef...my goodness...you just won't be able to find a flaw with this this site. I can not wait to spend another special night with this marvelous business!! They are almost monthly, so go to their website right now and book for the next event. That always sell out!! read more

Went with a friend and we had cocktails and appetizers. We had the Korean Brussels Sprouts, Bazingas!!!, and Nachos (no meat added). The nachos were disappointing while the other items were nice. I ordered a margarita - it was good, but I was disappointed it came with no salt on the rim. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We sat near the bar and despite being crowded, we could have a conversation without yelling. Overall a nice experience. read more

This is my second time I've been to Ripple & Company, and the reason I came back is the Fig Sidecar. This drink is a perfect balance of the light flavor of the fig mixed with a rich contrast of brandy. It is one of my favorite drinks I've ever had at a restaurant. The service is awesome, and I like the open feel of the restaurant. This is the first time I've been for brunch, and I ordered the Monte Cristo. The ham had great flavor, and the raspberry on top was awesome. To me, the star of the sandwich was the bread; it was buttery and had just the right amount of crunch. Unfortunately, the potatoes left a little to be desired; they didn't seem fresh. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and I will definitely be back for more fig sidecars. read more

Friday night at 5:30 it was just getting very busy. Parking is kind of an issue, there's a lot nearby that fills up pretty quickly. We were seated in the bar area at a high top. Comfortable chairs with backs. I'm old ok I like that haha Paper menus were obviously used before and a little rumpled. We ordered cocktails which tasted _ok_ but were a little watery across the board. Draft Margarita, Spicy Pete and Fig Sidecar. Food was pretty good but not spectacular. Service was quick, but not too accurate. I'll get to that in a minute. Chipotle BBQ wings were really good. Sticky not too spicy sauce. Good flavor, and crispy under the sauce. For the entree I ordered the fried chicken, gluten free option, and substituted street corn for the fried Brussels sprouts. What came out was the fried Chicken covered in the non-gf gravy and the sprouts. I sent it back since I cannot have gluten. My table mates enjoyed their food, I waited another 10 minutes for the proper preparation. I didn't mind waiting at all, these things happen. I got some apologies, which is all anyone can really do. My food came out, the street corn was still absent, and the Brussels sprouts were on my plate. Since I had already waited before I didn't make a fuss and just gave the sprouts away. The gf option chicken was not worth waiting for. It was very dry, and the chickpea flour breading lacked any real flavor besides pepper. It appeared to be a pounded thin boneless skinless chicken breast. The mashed potatoes were very hot, and tasty. I would have loved some butter or something to make up for not being able to have the gravy. Oh well. Love and learn. Will I go again? Maybe. But I'll probably get a salad or just the wings again. read more

This Spring, Ripple & Company became my favorite restaurant in town - After One Visit! They have teamed-up with Greyhouse Coffee to make a winning combination. To find a better combination you probably need to catch Trevion Williams and Jaden Ivey at Mackey Arena. R&C is located in a beautiful new building directly across from East End Grill. Your first visit can be a little bewildering, so let me coach you up: You order at the counter (which sounds simple). Just know there are three distinct stations. Off to the left is where you order Greyhouse products. The middle station is where you order food. Off to the right is designated for beer and such. Once you have your order, feel free to sit anywhere. It was a beautiful day, so we opted for the outdoor patio on the 2nd floor. We ordered and shared a variety of small items. Everything was very good. R&C offers great food and drinks, in a clean and relaxed atmosphere. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

I went to Ripple & Co for lunch with some friends. The food was terrible. I got the smash burger. The meat patties were small and tasted terrible. The girl next to me got the chicken wings. They were overly done, and she said it was terrible. We didn't say anything to the waitress, because it was very evident, she was in a bad mood. I wanted to leave but we were celebrating a B-day. I will never go there again. read more

Enjoyable BBQ joint with a lot of neat and unique menu items. Seems like one of the go-to spots in the downtown area. Smoked wings were big and meaty. Pork belly was alright, but nothing extremely special. The pulled pork was great. Brisket was excellent. For midwestern barbecue, this is pretty up there. In particular I liked the tangy spicy Bama sauce. read more

We absolutely loved dinning at Ripple & Company. The weather was beautiful and they had the doors open so we enjoyed the breeze from outside. The upstairs was closed, and it looks like that is now reserved for parties. We started with drinks (vodka spritzer) and queso. Shortly after our entrees came out and I ordered the pulled pork with spoon bread and macaroni and cheese. All the food was delicious and the restaurant had a fun environment. We definitely want to come back and try the brunch menu! read more
