This was the worst Huddle House I've ever been to! Food was burnt to a crisp. I didn't get half of my food. It was 81 degrees according to the thermostat on the wall and the manager refused to turn on any air because "she is cold natured". Silverware was dirty. Bathrooms were completely disgusting and unusable. The floor in the restaurant looked like it hasn't been swept in weeks and had rat droppings everywhere. I WILL NEVER BE BACK!!!! read more

Such a great, friendly place with good food. We went for breakfast and they didn't mis a beat. If the hashbrowns arrive crispy- it's a restaurant in my book. They scored big. Crispy hashbrowns, yummy gravy, soft biscuits it was all as we ordered and tasty. Priced well and super friendly staff. read more

You'd think, if you've seen one Huddle House, you've seen them all. For the most part, that's true. The one located in Ripley is the exception to the rule. It has always been cleaner, had friendlier staff and better quality food than others I've been in. The exception to that is their waffles. They have a weird tast, like a fortune cookie batter. It is very off-putting, especially when you add syrup. To quote them, "Our Golden Waffle batter recipe is top secret. That's all we're authorized to say about it". To Each Their Own. read more

It was a nice surprise to find a "chain" restaurant that cares. It was obvious when we walked in the door, several of the staff immediately greeted us with "good morning". The food was good, the service was good. And having breakfast with Greg is always good... Greg noticed that the ketchup bottle was even clean... you know how they get that dried up, old ketchup around the rim... these ketchup bottles were cared for,..... cleaned. It's not that difficult of a task, but it makes a statement. The syrup bottle was even good to go, without sticking to the table or your hands. The person running this place, and the staff did a great job. And we look forward to stopping in next time we are in the area.. read more

We always try and find the Mom and Pop joint in any town we find ourselves. We found ourselves in Ripley MS, hungry at 0800, and said Mom and Pop joint was not to be found. Ok, its possible we didnt know where it was............ At any rate, you may be able to imagine the horror I experienced when the friend we were with suggested that we go into the local Huddle House. Really? A greasy spoon? I mean, those type joints arent known for their cleanliness, most of the food is forgettable at best, and service could hardly be called..........service. HOWEVER, were not in Kansas anymore Toto. Those stereotypes will not honored at the Huddle House in Ripley MS. Upon entering, youre greeted with a 50's diner theme, complete with music and vinyl seats on the chrome framed bar stools. The sheen on the stainless splash board demands a double take simply because youve never seen the like in a "greasy spoon" before. There was zero build up on the gaylord, none. In the food business high volume usually means cleanliness suffers, while I suppose that store could just have all sorts of time for cleaning due to lack of production, the precision in the execution of my $4.99 breakfast plate leads me to believe that they have all the production practice they need. We were well greeted by wait staff, she was attentive and quick with the coffee. The table was clean, no crumbs on it, the seats, or the floor. We all decided to get the New Years Breakfast, which is 2 eggs, hashbrowns, either 3 pc bacon or 2 sausage patties, grits and toast. You can add a waffle for 99 cents, and we all did. Additionally, I added sauteed mushrooms and onions to my browns, and specifically requested that they be sweated with the browns. My eggs were scrambled, Krista's were over easy, and our friend's were over med. I dont think we got our second cup of Joe down before our plates were on the table. The food was spot on, pure and simple. I have nothing negative to say about the preparation of our plates. The eggs where just right, my hashbrowns were exactly what I asked for, and the waffles were crisp and creamy at the same time. By this time, I realized that we were on the yellow brick road, so I started payin very close attention to what was going on in the store. What I saw was a manager that actually did his job, and a staff that actually did theirs. The compact efficiency they work under is a testament to a work ethic that abounds throughout the operation. It is a total joy, I mean it warms my heart, to see that kind of passion. It is very clear that those that work there are truly interested in providing their customers the best possible service and dining experience. I can think of a number of places that would do well to take some lessons from that Huddle House, CR and his staff. If there was something to fuss about it would be: Too much butter on the grits The wait got the over easy and over med egg orders to the wrong customers at first. And thats it!!! Even the condiment bottle caps were clean......the stainless behind the counter was spotless....... As we left, I caught the manager (CR) outside. He was pullin weeds out of the flower beds before he went home. I think he was surprised by my assessment of his store, he shouldnt have been............great job!!! Unlike Dorthy, we found that our "Wizard" in the land that wasnt Kansas actually was the real deal. Not the blowhard so many have become, he was just the guy that wasnt too good to pull weeds on his way to the truck.......... As we prepared to return to "Kansas", the lesson is that passion is found anywhere..........all we really need to do is be brave enough to ride out the storm and find it. Good Job Huddle House............ If ever you find yourself in Ripley, stop by for some breakfast and experience a place that truly wants you to enjoy spending money with them. read more

It's always clean and great food whenever we go in there they are on top of their jobs unlike other places in Ripley

I could see the grill from our table and at first I wasn't paying any attention then it caught my eye when the cook was scooping cooked fries onto plates with her bare hand. But she had a glove on the other hand, then I noticed the other cook was the same way. So I mentioned it to the person with me, and the mgr was in ear shot, right on the other side of the partition. But she never came over to ask if everything was ok, I even said things like maybe we won't get food poisoning just to get her attention, she looked but never said anything or came over. Then I see them cracking eggs with both hands, putting raw meat on the grill with both hands, then turning around and touching cooked and ready to eat foods on the plates. Not washing hands and just wiping them on their clothes instead. I said something to the person with me each time bc I just couldn't believe how they were cooking. I was shocked and getting sick to my stomach thinking about food poisoning, from cross contamination. This went on the whole 20 minutes while we waited for our food. Our server brings the food and I contemplated on whether I should eat it, as to not cause a scene or send it back. So I finally got Brenda, our waitress, and asked for it to be taken off the bill bc I just wouldn't be able to eat it. She takes it back and they all start staring at me and once they saw I was looking they tried scooting over so I couldn't see. Then once she came back and started doing something behind the bar I said if it's that big of an issue you can let them know I didn't want to eat the food bc your cooks are cooking basically bare handed, I haven't seen either of them washing their hands and they are touching raw eggs and meat and then touching cooked and ready to eat foods. She said I know I'm sorry. So she went and told them. And the mgr still didn't even come to our table to ask if I'd like something else to offer it re cooked, once the cooks washed and put on new gloves. Nothing. read more
