Ripplewood was mentioned on CBS MORNINGS today and I was so excited that I had to let others know...I am already a fan, but now I expect others will know too...CONGRATULATIONS...love this place
Stopped by here for dinner on the way to see a show at the Ardmore Music Hall next door. The menu has a good selection of food, and I would HIGHlY recommend a large order of the Ripp fries.
We visited Ripplewood for dinner and it was excellent. Service, atmosphere, cool drinks and incredible meal. We didn't have a reservation so there was the shortest of waits. The downstairs with the bar is cool! When we were told our table was upstairs I was mildly bummed, but it was a nice atmosphere up there, too! Loved our visit to Ripplewood and would return for dinner, drinks, or both at the same time!
Ripplewood is a staple in the Ardmore dining scene having great food, drinks, service, and ambience. I usually go for drinks and apps, I haven't had an entree except for the burger which was quite tasty. My goto apps are the wings, Ripp fries, and the Parker house pretzel rolls. I've heard people love the brussel sprouts but it's far from one of my favorite veggies! The desserts look good and I can't wait to try the pina colada ice cream sandwich! Drinks are on point, bartenders are knowledgeable and the flair is top notch. I love that this place is associated with the Ardmore Music Hall and has this amazing Jerry Garcia artwork inside, check it out next time you're looking for dinner and drinks in Ardmore!
Great location- next to Ardmore music hall Service is ok but slow. She was very nice but not attentive. 4 dining options- bar, patio, back dining room, or upstairs. Stairs are narrow and straight up. Hard for some people Caesar salad- fresh and crispy. With great parm crisps, the croutons are like a moz stick filled with dressing instead Brussels- good. Apple pairs well. Can't taste the bacon except for the few giant chunks. Needs something creamy to balance the acidity of the dish Fireside flip is not good. Too creamy and like a latte with a very sweet end Short ribs- so good. Tender and crunchy outside. Gnocchi- good but very chewy and dense. Not like a typical gnocci
Excellent Gastropub! I absolutely love Ripplewood Whiskey! We sat on the porch, and it was a perfect night to enjoy the ambiance. What I appreciate about this place is that they don't take themselves too seriously with the decor, yet there's clearly an expert in the kitchen. The burger that stays on the menu is fantastic; the combination of onion jam and Lebanon bologna makes it the tastiest burger in town. We also tried their Ripp Fries topped with fondue, jalapeños, chipotle mayo, brisket, and pickled red onion. This is a sensational dish--comfort food taken to the max! My husband absolutely loved his Short Rib Campanelle, dressed with roasted garlic cream, baby kale, haricot vert, and pickled long hots. I had a bite, and it was delicious! Our service was great, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, Ripplewood Whiskey is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful gastropub experience!
Delicious snacks and drinks with friends! Really cool atmosphere and it was popping on a Saturday night but we found seats at the bar. We had the wings (SPICY but great!), loaded brisket fries, mahi tacos (best fish tacos I've had to be honest) and cheesesteak Bao. Will definitely go again :)
I love Ripplewood. It's not only a great bar but the food is really so good! I've had dinner in the restaurant before but when I go (quite often) I prefer to sit at the bar. All the bartenders are awesome. They are attentive and great to chat with. The vibes at the bar are chill and the music selection (sometimes 90s hip hop), is right up my alley. The creativity of the drinks is impressive. Not only are they creative but they so good. I've had the Ripp Fries many times. You can never to wrong with the fries. Yum!! I've also had the Wings before. Also Yum! This time I had the Birria Bao Buns, Mahi Tacos and the Brussel Sprouts. The Bao Buns are so light and fluffy. The Birria is seasoned so well and is so tender. The mild heat from the peppers is nice. I'm a huge fan of cilantro and it is a perfect compliment to the Birria. The Mahi Tacos came out and looked like a taquito so I wasn't sure at first but the appearance does nothing for the goodness that is inside the tortilla. And I actually appreciated how it was rolled up., it made it so easy to eat. No mess and nothing falling out the taco. The Brussel Sprouts have a nice surprise with the slices of apple mixed in. The apples add a sweet complement to cut the bitterness of the brussel sprouts. A very thoughtful pairing. I'd highly recommend Ripplewood for drinks, dinner, bar food or just dessert (which is also very good!). You can't go wrong.
Rounded up to 5 stars because the burger is so good. The three seating areas are comfortable although the heated outdoor patio can be chilly if the weather is not cooperative. The menu offers interesting variations on typical bar fare. The wings are outstanding and the slice of Lebanon Bologna makes the burger a reason to return. The restaurant is popular and the service can be hurried.
