    Rips offered a delectable experience with wonderful fun. For someone who is not Cajun not fond of the culture, Rips offers a great in between of Cajun and southern class. While at Rips, my service has always been spot on and friendly. Last time I went my server from 6 months ago remembered my group.

    Sunlit room with a million dollar view. Spectacular friendly service. Seafood right from the lake, couldn't get any fresher. No complaints. It's always a treat coming here.

    Outstanding service, view and food! I am from San Diego California and visiting my extended family who said this way the place to go! So we drove from New Orleans to here for lunch! We originally had a server who seemed a bit preoccupied with other tables and his regulars, so I asked the amazing MOD (manager on duty from Brazil) if he wouldn't mind pairing us with a more attentive server and WOW!!! Della took over our table and she was literally the best, most attentive and kind server I have ever had! Talk about southern hospitality! She embodies it all! Not only was her service impeccable- the food was amazing!!! Everything we got was so delicious and fresh! It came in a very timely manner and everything couldn't have been more perfect! This was my first full day of my trip in Louisiana and I am so happy we came here because the MOD and Della truly made my first day here memorable! Thank you so much for having us today! I will absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a great view, perfect service and delicious food! I will be back! :)

    Gorgeous restaurant with a view of the beachfront. The servers were attentive, though very busy. The shrimp and grits stood out as the best part of my dining experience. I think they might just be the best I've had! Everything was expertly seasoned. I highly recommend Rip's for any special gathering or event. Lots of outdoor covered seating and a whole oyster bar we didn't get to try, but we'll be back for sure!

    A great local restaurant with a beautiful view from the front porch. Many restaurants in the area are closed on Sunday, but not Rips making it a great place to wrap up the weekend. We went with both suggestions from our server for our entrees and both we as good as he described them. The buster crab appetizer was also a great start to the meal. The key lime pie was excellent!! Perfect ending to a wonderful, fresh meal.

    Definitely get a reservation and request a seat right by the window on the patio at sunset. The view is lovely!

Bravo! We came here just for apps and drinks as we hopping from place to place on the Northshore. We did not have a reservation and we were there early enough that it was not crowded just yet, there was no one sitting outside where it overlooks the lake, but it was a bit hot so we sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us with a friendly smile. We ordered the flatbread app and martini espresso. The flatbread was not an ordinary flatbread dish, like I was expecting. The flavors all magically came together and this dish was really elevated. There was a BBQ sauce that was not your typical BBQ sauce, it was light, had a sweetness to it, and barely a drizzle on the fresh ingredients. The jalapeno lime crema also marinated the flavors of the pork and Tasso together, making each bite so satisfying. Even the bread was not tough or chewy; it had a nice soft texture and perfect way to serve all those ingredients together. This place was one of our favorites for our stay on the Northshore. Everything here as top notch and great!

We didn't realize reservations were recommended, but there were open tables in the bar area, so we were seated right away. There's also outdoor seating, which is a nice option. Service was great--our server was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. We ordered the Calamari, Crab Claws, Duck, Shrimp Pasta, Lump Crab & Shrimp Stew, and a House Salad. Everything was good and fresh. Some dishes could've used a bit more seasoning or a different flavor profile, but overall the meal was enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and even the restroom stood out--spacious, spotless, and surprisingly cute with a single private toilet. Overall, Café Lynn was a solid, unexpected find with good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

We politely asked to turn it up a degree or two and we're told that that was impossible so we ordered French onion soup to warm up. The soup itself was delicious, but it was served in a softball sized bowl and in it was a baseball size lump of cheese. It was hard to find the soup. For main course, we both ordered crab meat, au gratin, and believe me when I tell you it was absolutely terrible. I couldn't eat it. I sent it back and the waitress didn't offer to replace it or say she was sorry or anything so fine. All I had for lunch was a half a bowl of soup but when the bill came and I was charged for the au gratin that I did not eat that sent everything over the top. Totally unacceptable for a quality restaurant which they used to be if the chef can't make crab meat au gratin any better than that they should take it off the menu. I would even volunteer to teach him how to do it my son is a five star chef who learned from my dad who was a great cook and I'm a pretty good cook myself so I could go in there and teach them how to make an incredible crab meat, au gratin, but I'm sure they wouldn't be thrilled with that either. Well they won't be thrilled with my review or the fact that I will tell other others, and they will lose a great deal of business over the way they treated us today.
