    Beer
    John L.

    This is an authentic Irish Pub. It's the the Olympic Games and they opened early for rugby! If you want Irish beer and food this is the place. I'm from upstate New York or Central New York. Wings is the thing so when I rate wings it's gonna be serious. I rate their wings a B-. The food is a little on the high end. Great location in a great little city.

    Pub chicken sandwich

    Place was pretty empty so waitress was super attentive and service was very quick. I love the Irish pub atmosphere. My food was delicious!!! We started with the buffalo chicken bites, so so good. For my meal I got the fried pub chicken sandwich and it was amazing. The fries were the perfect amount of salt and crisp. Definitely recommend.

    We stopped on a busy Sunday on Church Street. RiRa was not the first choice but we ended up waiting for our table. The service a beyond bad - 5 peoples our party, after asking we received 4 sets of silverware and three napkins. The food was OK - a fall salad with falafel got good reviews, the poached eggs were missing the fried fingerling potatoes, two burgers were good, French fries despite being fried to a crisp (triple fried) still soapy with oil. The Reuben was neither tasty not sufficiently sized. Beautiful day on Church Street. Just in a place that suffered from awful waiters and no kitchen oversight. Fingerling potatoes arrived after we asked when the meal was over. No apologies from the waiter.

    Love Irish bars so I stopped in for dinner. Was worried because it was virtually empty but ended up being a good experience. The bartender was quick to serve me and was very friendly. He engaged and was interested in me possibly because not too many people I ordered a cheeseburger which was actually very good. The fresh cut fries were perfectly cooked just a little hard. It's a typical Irish bar and looked like pubs I've visited in Ireland. Dark wood and great bar area.

    Awesome Irish pub and restaurant. Kid and family friendly, the food was incredible. Service was quick and attentive, and the ambiance was perfect. This place deserves a gold medal.

    Chicken Street Tacos

    The food was good, but I was neither wowed nor disappointed. The fries were very good -- crispy, full of flavor, and just enough salt. I enjoyed the tall tables, both the look and how there is a bar across so you can rest your feet on it. Caters more towards the sport-bar-goers. I did not enjoy how the large screen television was blasting random shows while we were eating.

    Ri ra is a great spot in downtown Burlington. Someone in the area mentioned it to us, so we stopped in for a beverage and lunch. Many of the furnishing and bar were actually brought here from a pub in Ireland, so.it did feel very authentic. It felt like many other great Irish pubs, a little dark and earthy. Service was great and the.food was very good. Definitely worth a visit!

    Pub Burger
    Jacky C.

    Came here for lunch with a larger group of friends. Sat outside on a nice sunny weekend. In terms of menu items, it was typical bar food. I personally got an Espresso Martini ($13) to start, which was not as milky as I'd expect, but still strong. For entree, I got the Pub Burger ($17) medium with fries. Overall it was really good and filling. Service overall was okay. Pretty good at getting to us to take our orders without rushing us. Towards the end when we wanted to get our check, that took a bit longer. After giving our server our credit card, waiting around for the server to come back also took a bit of time. So get your check early if you're in a rush.

    Harvest Salad with Falafel
    Carlie C.

    I was very impressed by Ri Ra and the options they had, which I thought were great for an Irish Pub! There were many vegetarian options and a wide range of items. I ordered the Harvest Salad which was very good and had fresh ingredients; I loved the maple vinaigrette. I came in a large group and the waitresses were very accommodating and attentive. It was very cute inside, my one complaint is the bathroom was a bit rough and freezing to get there. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area with a big group!

    I wanted this to be special. I wanted it to excel. It let me down in so many ways. Five people,…read morefour appetisers, two wine and one beer, and four main courses. I was lured here because someone said it was better than Bistro de Margo; it was not. Service was good from the server and poor from the bus boys and kitchen. The kitchen failed in many ways. Could I give it fractional scorse it would be 2.6. The server was good and had a phenomenal memory to take all our orders with no notes. Wow! The three appetizers were delivered out of order. One came. Fast forward 20 minutes; the remaining two came out. The appetizer dishes were never cleared. They hung around until we decided not to have desert! The appetizers were underwhelming; how can you screw up a Caesar salad? The main courses disappointed in many ways. The dishes were serverd luke warm. Mussels were dehydrated on top of the heap and obvioulsy sat under a heat map. The steaks were cooked well but accompaniments were cold, cool, or barely warm; take your pick none were appetizing. The plates were stone cold which didn't help. Finally after dinner was served and eaten and plates cleared for deserts we did not order the remaining plates and debis were cleared from the table. Not good. Not professional. Not worth the money. The wines were good. The beer was good. Dinner came to $275 plus another $60 tip. It wasn't worth it. There is clealry issues in the kitchen and staff. They were simply not into it. I would not come back. If you want a French dinner look elsewhere or just don't try that in Burlington.

    Lovely little place in downtown Vermont…read more I came here with my girlfriend for our celebration. We had a great time. We went late and so we got their reduced price menu (last hour). It was very reasonable. We ordered an entree and two apps. Everything was super tasty and served quickly. I look forward to coming here again!
