We love the food here especially the fish & chips and grilled cheese! So delicious and their fried items are fried in beef tallow, boosting the flavor profile! Staff is great and attentive! Plenty of space and seating to grab a bite with friends and hang out at. read more

Best Burger in town but that doesn't even tell the whole story.. the sauces are made in house and all of them are FIRE... Crisscut fries are crisped to perfection. The garlic crisscut fries and garlic sweet potato crisscut fries are so good. Nachos, Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwhich, Buddha Bowl, Poke Bowl.. all fire! Can't miss with this place. read more

I come here whenever I want a good solid burger. Nothing fancy. Their "build your own" always hits the spot. I also like that they have a rotating tap list and the staff is pretty friendly. They offer quite a bit of options for games to play at your table, and the kids menu is a plus. My only gripe would be that their soda's aren't very good- I don't know if their machine needs to be cleaned or changed out but whenever I order a coke it is not good. It would be nice if they offered canned sodas instead. read more

I stopped in on a Sunday around 1:00 p.m., and it wasn't overly busy. The brewery has a modern industrial vibe with a spacious, open layout. There's plenty of seating, including standard tables, a full bar, and a long high-top table tucked beneath an overhang that's perfect for larger groups. Behind the bar, two TVs provide entertainment, and a large display showcases their rotating craft beer selection. They also offer happy hour Wednesday through Sunday. We were seated right away, and our server greeted us shortly afterward. She was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the beer selection. If you're unsure what to order, they'll gladly provide complimentary samples, or you can opt for a beer flight to sample four different brews. I ordered the bacon nacho fries topped with pulled pork along with a beer flight. Every beer was cold, fresh, and flavorful. The nacho fries were the standout of the meal. They were surprisingly delicious. The fries stayed nice and crispy despite all the toppings, giving each bite a great balance of texture and flavor. Two of us shared the appetizer along with our drinks, and it was more than enough food. I'd definitely order it again. Overall, we had a great experience. Between the welcoming service, excellent craft beer, and tasty food, this is a place I'll definitely be returning to so I can work my way through more of the menu. read more

Located in a food plaza tucked away in a little neighborhood. The location is clean and feels safe. I didn't take pictures of the inside/outside decor but it's neat. Lots of spots for instagrammable pictures. Service was nice and quick. Only one server and she was super friendly. I ordered the fish and chips- opted for the garlic fries. I was eager to try it after seeing pictures of it on IG. However I was left a bit disappointed. I got two pieces of fish that weren't very big. It was quite salty even with the lemon wedges. The garlic fries were decent, crispy but very greasy after taste. My best friend got the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. She was even more disappointed. She said the sandwich was too dry and the fries were soggy. I'm not sure if I'd give this place a try again. read more

We found this place online and wanted to try it out after church. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but was starting to pick up as we finished up our lunch. The menu has a little bit of everything which I like a variety. I went with the raised beef that was added to a grilled cheese. With sweet potato fries. The portion size here is very large, so we definitely got to go boxes and it made for a second meal at lunch the next day. Everybody was nice and we would definitely go back. read more

Was in the area to take the kids rock climbing down the road. We were hungry and I was looking places up and this looked pretty good. All 3 of us ordered root beer and they were out. We got the bacon nachos fries. They were waffle fries with beer cheese, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, bacon, jalapeños and green onion. The beer cheese is really good! We added the short rib to it and it was super flavorful and tender. We did notice some weird cooked pieces of celery, but maybe it came with the meat. We also ordered the appetizer sampler. It comes with Nashville hot chicken tenders with pickles, wings, pizza pretzel with marinara, jalapeños poppers and celery and carrots. It also said choice of 4 sauces and we were not asked what sauces we wanted. It arrived with 2 ranch, a beer cheese and a spicy creamy sauce. Also, we were not told they were out of jalapeno poppers (which is why I wanted the platter) and the substituted waffle fries. That was a bummer because we already had waffle fries for the nachos. Also...no pickles, no marinara for the pretzel. The pretzel was a little dry for us. We chose BBQ wings and they were pretty good. We tried to order their pickle dip, but they were also out of that. While the food was decent, I think if substitutions are being made, we should be told that before hand because I wouldn't have ordered 2 things with waffle fries and beer cheese. read more

Had such a great experience at Ripon Tap House! I met up with my family here and we honestly had the best time. The atmosphere was super welcoming and laid-back, which made it really easy for all of us to just relax, talk, and enjoy being together.Since it's a tap house, we went for the beer and they had a really good selection to choose from. There was something for everyone, and it made it fun trying different options and finding favorites. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which I really appreciated. Our waiter was Shayla she was so friendly and attentive. She made sure we were taken care of and added to the overall good experience. What stood out most was just how comfortable and enjoyable it felt. It's the kind of place you can go with family, laugh, and make good memories. I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

Good food. Good beer. Good ambiance. Service was good. A little pricey but you're looking for good food in Ripon.

Not so friendly staff. Bathrooms not very clean and ambiance seemed off. I gave them a few chances since it seemed like a nice spot but unless you are a regular they don't pay attention to you. read more

Great food, atmosphere and vibe! Ripon tap house is a great place for the whole family.

Loved the steak night at the taphouse! Our waiter Evan was amazing and recommended great beers!

1st time here. Nice, clean place. I liked the vibe. They offer outside seating as well. Staff were friendly but service was a bit slow. The bartender was also our server so prob short staff. But despite that I appreciated that he still managed to check on us and made conversation. I ordered the fish and chips and I'm really glad I did. It was 2 generous pieces of cod which also included a good amount of waffle cut fries. Yes please! My experience with fish and chips is that the fish tends to fall apart and become mushy once deep fried. But theirs DID NOT! It stayed whole and flaky and didn't get lost inside the crispy batter which theirs was also seasoned just right. I could tell it was made fresh because it came out hot. Just the way I like it. Definitely worth the wait. I would come back and order this again and again. My daughter who ordered the steak bowl with a side of avocado also enjoyed hers. Again they weren't stingy With the amount of steak that came with it. I would definitely recommend this place and go back. read more

Stopped in on my way home from a work trip and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We went with the waffle nacho fries topped with pulled pork, and the portion size was generous with really solid flavor. The beer was ice cold, which hit the spot after a long drive. The kitchen was quick too, which I definitely appreciated since I was starving. I'd happily stop in again if I'm in the area. read more

Very disappointed in the service at Ripon Tap House. We asked multiple times for items that never made it to our table, and there were long waits between everything -- not sure if they were short-staffed or what was going on, but it definitely took the experience down a notch. That said, the beer selection is solid, and the beer cheese and Philly were genuinely fantastic -- easily the highlight of the visit and the only reason this isn't a one-star review. Hoping someone from management sees this. The food clearly has potential; the front-of-house just needs to catch up read more

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... read more

OK, this business follow me on my Instagram account and I turn around and go to this place for my first time and pretty much. I just order one drink that is apple and grape something like that and some garlic fries to it. The bartender didn't want my card to open my tab while I approach the bar setting. So I continue to drink and eat my garlic fries and I ordered some water too and didn't make a scene. I was on my phone reading a text message from my friend the whole time and I was getting impression that the bartender was watching me the whole time but yeah I wasn't talking to anyone around me besides the guys front of me that the Oakdale golf guys were near me just that is only people that I talk to in those 25 mins so I asked for another beer just for another glass and I wasn't expecting to finish my glass, which is my seconds and literally they refuse me to get another beer and yet they want me to close tab but yeah I wasn't drunk yet. I literally was there for 25 minutes and I left and I kind of got upset and I didn't bother taking my fries with me and my apartment that's near the high school so pretty much that thanks for the service of Ripon tabhouse u take care I have a safe drive back to my apt so lmao thanks again read more

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. read more

The Ripon Tap House - Braised rib sandwich - Beer Bar Near Me - Ripon, California

I will start this review by saying I'm writing it at Roadhouse when we were supposed to be at Taphouse... so there's that. This review is based on recent beer selection and our experiences on Tuesday night during their BBQ night. In fairness, they host a BBQ guy to do their food, but they should be on the same page. We arrived just before 4 PM, when they are supposed to open, and the doors were locked and it was dark. When they were supposed to open at 4, a guy was frantically setting up stuff. Now, I totally get being late, but own it. Around 4:05 I knock on the door and dude initially tries to not make eye contact. When I keep staring, he looks bothered and comes to the door. He opens it and says theyre not ready. I ask if they are supposed to open at 4 and he says they are then offers the type of insincere apology my toddler does. Top that off with the fact that a few times ago when we came they ran out of everything but pulled pork... I'm good. We will be taking a break. On the beer front, I have been underwhelmed by the recent selection. And a good number of the beers have been flat. It is a total shame because we like the place. Hopefully, they step their game up. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Ripon Tap House has quickly become one of our favorite spots. We first tried it because of Sweet Deals, and we've been back several times since because we absolutely love the food, beer, and overall vibe. Since we spend a lot of time at Mistlin for sports, it's the perfect place to relax and grab a great meal afterward. The burgers are awesome, the fish and chips are epic, and the homemade pretzels are the real deal. The fries are delicious too. They also have a great beer selection and the music is perfect if you're a fellow Gen X'er like me. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I really enjoy the evolving beer tap they have. Food is also good. Service is great too. This will be a regular stop for us. I hope they continue to thrive. Food tried: fish n chips, poke bowl, Italian grinder. Can't go wrong with any of them. read more

I love the atmosphere.. I've seen bad reviews on service, however, I've never had issues with poor service. The only reason I will give this place 3 stars is because the food could be better, it has so much potential. There's nothing on the menu that tastes as good as it sounds and stands out. Although the Asian sticky ribs are great. Wings are kinda dry. Fries are not good. I wish we had a place in ripon that had commonwealth quality food. It could also use some better beer choices. But still is a place I'll keep going back to! read more

Service was ok... our waiter was... a little nervous..? I don't know but the food was decent ... we sat outside with our dog and the hostess brought him water without asking which was kind. An ok spot to stop at if driving through. Beer was good, again, the waiter couldn't really recommend anything so we just blindly ordered. read more

We were looking for a more laid-back spot for our rehearsal dinner--something that could accommodate about 80 guests and still feel relaxed and celebratory. Ripon Taphouse ended up being the perfect choice. It all started spontaneously: we were near the venue, popped in to try a few beers, and instantly got the idea to ask if they could host our event. From that moment on, Chris (the owner) and Chef Mo were all in. Although they hadn't hosted many large events before, they embraced the challenge with so much heart and enthusiasm--we were their "guinea pig" event, and they absolutely crushed it. Everyone had a blast. The vibe was exactly what we were hoping for: fun, casual, and full of good energy. The food? Incredible. They adapted their regular menu to fit our vision perfectly--serving sliders instead of full burgers, crafting an allergy-friendly table (a huge hit with the many guests who had dietary restrictions), and putting out total crowd-pleasers like the poke tower and the poutine. Our guests raved about it all night. The beer selection is next-level. They rotate their taps regularly, and every pour is clearly curated with care. One green sour beer in particular was unforgettable--so unique and delicious. And there was also a berry-forward hard seltzer that one of our guests turned into a "cobbler float" with a scoop of ice cream (for me, the bride!)--it was as fun as it was tasty. Chris and Mo went out of their way to make us feel celebrated and special. Their sincerity, flexibility, and genuine joy in hosting us made the whole night feel magical. If you're looking for a place that serves amazing food, takes beer seriously, and treats guests like family, Ripon Taphouse checks all the boxes. Thank you for making our rehearsal dinner so unforgettable! read more
