    Nice location!
    Pamela J.

    We went on a Sunday late lunch, it was pretty empty which was still nice. Food was real good. Liked the music selection they had, it was o real a good place we'd def come back to!

    Braised rib sandwich
    Alejandra O.

    I love the ambiance, servers are nice but forgetful 3 times we asked for condiments and none were served until we stood up and went to the bar . Personally I have been here a handful of times and I love the food . This time around I had the braised rib sandwich and it was delicious. I have no complaints on the food . Bread was soft /coleslaw in the sandwich was delicious and the meat was tender.

    Fish and Chips (garlic fries)
    Bobby M.

    First time visiting The Ripon Tap House. First impression...the place is decorated nicely and the staff were friendly when we arrived. We were sat at a large "community" type table but had most of it to ourselves. Our server came by fairly quick and took our drink orders. When she returned we were ready to order. She did let us know it was very busy and almost everyone had arrived about the same time. We place our order and it did take a considerable amount of time to get our food..but she at least has warned us. Our server was very attentive (plus she had a cool New Zealand accent!). For food I got the Fish & Chips and upgraded to garlic fries. The fries are a waffle cut and were loaded with garlic. Very good flavor, a little greasy. The cod fish had a nice light batter and was cooked perfectly. My big issue was that between the greasy fries and oil from the fish the plate was kinda swimming in oil. The fish was also under seasoned. It needed salt and pepper (neither of which were on the table). It did come with a great tartar sauce for the fish and ranch for the chips. My wife got the Cubano sandwich with salad. She really liked the sandwich. The salad was ok but the mixed greens were cut very large and no knife was offered. Overall it was a good meal and thanks to the great service I am sure we will be back...hopefully when they are not slammed like they were the food/table setup may be a bit better, Still recommend you give it a try...

    Tried for the first time and was very pleased with the food and service. My wife got the cubano panini and I got the Philly cheese steak sandwich. Both were delicious.

    The Ripon Tap House is such an amazing addition to Ripon! From the moment you walk in, you can see just how much work and devotion they put into their establishment. As soon as you walk in, you feel how fun and welcoming it feels. The decor is very inviting and also honors Ripon at the same time. My wife and I frequent the Tap House at least once or twice a month. They have an awesome rotating tap selection and you can tell they go out of their way to make sure the beer and drink selections are unique and something the customers will enjoy. Whether you're looking for beer, cider, wine, cocktails, or great food, they have something for everyone. The staff is always friendly and I cannot express how welcome you feel as soon as you walk in the door. They also have trivia, bingo, happy hours and other events several times a month! Please do yourself a favor and check them out soon!

    Pesto Chicken Sandwich ($17)

    Ripon Tap House has been on my radar for a while and I finally got to try it out and I was very impressed! It's a great place to hang out and get drinks, but the food is also really impressive. I will say that this is a type of place you would go to if you have time because the food doesn't come out super quick, but that's the only con I have. The service here is top tier and the ambiance is comfortable. The food isn't outrageously priced either. You can look at their menu through scanning a QR code and they certainly have a lot of options. From salads, to burgers and sandwiches, to pastas, and much more. My family and I came on a Sunday afternoon so they had their brunch menu available with items such as avocado toast and steak and eggs. I personally got the Pesto Chicken Sandwich ($17) with a side of waffle fries. I really enjoyed this fried chicken sandwich. It wasn't overly oily, but it was really crispy. The chicken inside was moist and the pesto complimented the sandwich well. The buns and bread they use is also really good quality. Also those waffle fries are amazing. Very crispy and well seasoned. Their steak and eggs that I stole off a family member's plate was also really good. Cooked perfectly medium rare and juicy while being very tender. I also heard the Caesar salad was amazing too. Especially the bread they use to make the croutons. My experience at Ripon Tap House was great and I highly recommend coming here. The restaurants in this particular area in Ripon really has some of the best food you can get in Ripon and really the central valley in general. Ripon Tap House is one of those standouts.

    First time here for lunchtime. The food is amazing and delicious! The workers are friendly. The local is in a great neighborhood. Definitely a must to visit this restaurant.

    See all

The interior of Cask & Barrel has an upscale type of vibe with a black slate style stone and some fun accent colors throughout. Everything is organized very well which makes it very easy to find the type of alcohol you seek. In my opinion, it is easier to find different types of alcohol here than the local competitors of similar size. There is a wine cellar with glass walls which make viewing from the floor pretty cool. There is an area in the back called "The Wine Bar" where the staff will begin offering wine tastings. You can sign up with your email to be notified of tasting dates. There is a beer grotto, which is a walk-in fridge so you can pick out a case of cold beer. Near the beer gratto are two large screen TV's playing different sports games. If you need ice, they have a very large freezer. There is a small open fridge that contains several different cheeses to pair with your wine. On your way out, you will find four registers at the front. If you like cigars to go with your liquor they have a small selection at the front counter. Pricing is on par with other local competitors. Not sure if it was due to my visit being during opening day, but there were plenty of employees working behind the register and on the floor. We were asked if we needed help when we walked around. Cask & Barrel is a really nice addition to the City of Ripon.

They were just good people who enjoyed what they did and that was awesome. The only annoying thing was it took three tries to get someone to bring a container so we could take one of the sandwich wraps home. The restaurant was clean, spacious, well lit, and cheerful. I appreciated the theme of the movie posters on the wall. That was clever. The food on the other hand was just ok. The fries lacked flavor on their own and could use salt or something. If it wasn't for the garlic on the one fries and whatever it was my wife had on hers those fries would have had no flavor at all. The wrap could have used more dressing, otherwise it was really bland. I had the burger with the egg on it. I forget the name. It had the same problem. Just a lack of flavor. The egg was overcooked. It would have been better if it was sunny side up so the yolk could run. I think it had bacon on it and cheese but I didn't taste either of those. The entire burger was just unremarkable sadly. Would I eat here again? Probably not. If I want a good place to go hang out with friends who work then sure. The staff was great. I just wish the food measures up to how cool they were.
