Ripe is great! They have interesting dishes and great drinks. We went for brunch, and got cava and mango mimosas with our brisket benedicts... they were delicious! The service was wonderful, and the prices weren't bad considering the overall quality of the experience. One of the best brunch places in El Paso, and I can't imagine their other meals would be any lesser. read more

This place is in my top 5 in El Paso. I was living in Germany over the last 3 years and I had dreams about coming back here. The biscuits and gravy with a side of potatoes are to die for! And I recently found out that the family also owns Tabla and Toms, two of my other favorite restaurants in El Paso. Anyways, went here last weekend and had a fabulous peach/mojito mimosa. I love how fresh everything is. This is more like a restaurant you would find in Austin or Scottsdale. Very hip and just a very cool atmosphere. read more

Good food, friendly service and convenient location. Given the dominance of chains in this part of El Paso, Ripe brings something welcome/different to the table. I like that this place delivers the major city brunch experience (diverse menu, full bar), which is uncommon here. read more

Great place with great service! Daisy is my favorite as she always take extra care in ensuring all her guests are taken care of! I always get the Southwestern Cobb because it's simply the best! Hummus and Babaganush (sp?) appetizer is simply amazing. This place is a go to spot for sure. read more

great food, had a burger, the meat was tasty also had the brussel sprouts with sweet and sour that were great too. Staff was really nice and friendly. Very good restaurant overall read more

Loved this little restaurant. The food was so good and the service was great. It is a family owned business so I like to support the locals!!!! Oh did I mention how big the servings were? I am not usually a big fan of sweet potato fries, but wow these are amazing with the dipping sauce!!! read more

I'd give Ripe a higher rating because their food is usually very good and they have a varied menu, but I want to forewarn anyone who orders the banana and pecan pancakes. When I had them, there was nothing in the pancakes themselves and just a sprinkling of bananas and pecans on top. They do have the best coffee! Dark and rich! read more

Ripe is one of my favorite restaurants in all of El Paso. However, they really are best at brunch. The blueberry ricotta pancakes are amazing, but everything I've tried has been delicious. When I've eaten here for lunch/dinner at least one vegetarian option is available. They have a nice patio and plenty of space inside. Even when the restaurant is busy, the wait doesn't usually exceed 20 minutes. read more

it's cool little restaurant to grab brunch or breakfast.. the scones that were provided were buttery and flaky... the only way to improve them is to warm them up a bit.. my green eggs and ham omelette (green chile, roasted onions, goat cheese and ham) was delicious.. the home style potatoes needed a bit more crunch.. the black beans lacked flavor.. my fiancee got the 2 egg, bacon and sausage combo.. it's nothing special.. the service was prompt and food tasted fresh.. my cup of coffee was never empty overall.. skip crave and head over here for breakfast and brunch.. you can check out what i thought of crave on my previous review.. read more

Hooray for Yelp. Not being familiar with El Paso, I really want to try a good local eating establishment, so I pulled out my Yelp app and this placed popped up. It was kind of long drive to get here, but I figured that I wasn't coming back to El Paso, so I was willing to come to this place. The parking lot was crowded and difficult to find parking and the wait for a table was going to be long. I figured that this had to be a good place. Lucky for us, the bar had a couple of seats opened, so we grabbed them right away. The menu was cool and had a lot of interesting choices. Yelp reviewers often time gets it wrong by overrating a a place, but they didn't with this one. read more

Good little spot for lunch- would love to try their brunch and dinner! Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy for a lunch time on a Monday. The portions were good sized and they had a good variety of dishes on their menu- lots of fish, veggie, and meat options. I had the BBQ salmon sandwich, which didn't really taste too bbq'd, but was good nonetheless. read more

Best place in El Paso. Fresh ingredients, great food and service...love it!!! I love the polenta and the salmon.

Brunch here is amazing. I'm not really a fan of pancakes but the blueberry ricotta ones are great. Almost exclusively come for breakfast but the few times i've been for lunch have been just as good. read more

I've been there twice and the service was bad both times. Food was pricey but good and large servings. Try the pear salad

Good vibes, amazing food, and quick service. Best Sunday fun day brunch spot! Recommend for a date, friends reunion, or just quick lunch.

The best burger in El Paso. Prices are good. Service is great. One word of warning is not consider not getting the dishes with mushrooms in them unless you are a fun guy. read more

Been there before and liked it. Went Sunday morning June 14th. Food so so. Service terrible. Waitress made faces when we ordered and asked questions. She did not listen and got our requests wrong. The most important was her attitude - not very friendly. There was a lot of noise in the restaurant. Went to restaurant at 930AM. read more

Love going to have breakfast here on the weekend. The biscuits are wonderful. Have not had a bad dish there yet.

By far, my favorite restaurant in El Paso. This place has terrific food, decent prices, and is also kid friendly. Fun events and week night specials (including happy hours), all make it so worth the drive from the East side. Besides being delicious, it is also organic and healthy. This place makes me happy!!!! read more

One of the few legit spots in town where the owner/chef is actually enriching and educating our non-food centric city instead of regurgitating old ideas and closing in 6 months. A breath of fresh air in a city polluted by great Mexican food. read more

I love this place, sadly I didn't go there this morning for brunch as I was asked to go elsewhere, but true to my nature I ordered the salmon Benedict.....and I have to say, it was NOT as great as yours..... And there were large eggshells in it.... NOT Good!!! So I just want to say to Ripe, thank you for taking the time to care about the preparation of your food every time I come in. You offer NO shell salmon Benny and it rocks!!!!! read more

very great little dine in restaurant. the staff is friendly and makes it feel like an upscale eatery. the house salads are wonderful and my fiance and i had to go back to try the dinner menu. everything was great. i got the pecan toasted salmon and he got a yummy homecooked chicken pot pie served in its own black kettle. the things on the menu are one of a kind, but we are both certain anything you order will taste great! read more

We've been here about a dozen times and always really loved it. Great service and fantastic food. Just a touch pricey, but I wouldn't say unreasonably so. read more

This place i hear so many people rave about its a joke the food is extremely expensive food I can find anywhere this confirms to me that el pasoans dont have a brain on there shoulders to differentiate real quality from poor and what not to pay and what to pay.Im not hating on anything there service is excellent and everything else but its terrible the prices there charging and for what type of food hell even the drinks are club prices.I need to open a buisness because El Pasoans are desperate for culinary and suckers no wonder our crap city is where it is today. read more

The food is decent. I have had good experiences here in the past. However, the customer service has always been a bit spotty and has recently gotten worse. Today, I decided to go "burger night" on tuesday where the burgers are 50% off. According to the menu, this special starts at 6 pm. I met my significant other there at 6 pm and we ordered our burgers. Apparently, the computer said we placed our orders at 5:59 pm and they did not honor the 50% off burger special. Unbelievable. This still didn't budge after we spoke with the manager Miguel. Our server Juliana wasn't very helpful either (she also go my order wrong - I ordered a side salad and she brought me french fries instead). Needless to say, I was very disappointed, especially since I consider myself a regular here. The food has been good in the past (although a tad overpriced). It goes without saying, that I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK TO RIPE. For those wondering, I would recommend going to Crave (on Cincinnatti) instead, as the customer service there is much better and the food is just as good if not better. Overall, Ripe is a nice restaurant, but the customer service and management stink. There are a lot better restaurants in El Paso for the same price and with better customer service. read more

The service is always great! Really good sized portions, we had the grape salad (it was huge) And their chicken fried chicken was amazing! Very attentive staff, Charlie was an excellent server, he was very attentive and did a great job with getting us everything we needed. Wine Wednesday's are the best, half off wine by glass or bottle! read more

Went on a Wednesday night with my girlfriend for some wine and something tasty to fill up our stomachs. The atmosphere was good, not loud, not bright, just right. Ratatouille chicken was good. My Gee Eff got the salmon pasta and hated it, noodle salad would have described the dish better. If it wasn't for their sweet potato fries and wine, she would have left with an empty stomach. Altogether with their pricing, I would suggest other places. After this review, the owner messaged me. Their customer service is one of their strong points. Will try to convince my gee eff to go for some wine on another Wednesday night. We'll try something different and hopefully leave with a better review. read more

Called and picked up for takeout. Fast service! Triple B burger was amazing! The blueberry sauce with bacon and cheese was perfect. The meat was delicious! read more

Great restaurant, and great people - love the West TX Cobb with crispy chicken! Usually crowded so plan accordingly. read more

For brunch in El Paso look no further. Ripe is a great neighborhood restaurant and they offer one of the best brunches in El Paso. They have a variety of menu options as well as great mimosas. I love the french toast, pancakes, and egg skillets. It can get pretty crowded on the weekend making the wait long but it is worth waiting. Dinner is also good but not as amazing as brunch. They have a good burger and fish items on their menu. The also have a good beer selection. read more

We ate at Ripe on Sunday, 5/7 for brunch. This was not our first time eating here and considering that we drive from the far east side, we were expecting another delicious meal since that's what our experience has been on prior occasions. Update: 5/20: After our initial experience on May 7, we decided to give Ripe another chance. In addition to the food being delicious, we received great service by both our server and the manager Andy who came out to introduce himself and to personally see that we were satisfied. Thanks again Mike for reaching out and taking care of everything! read more

Sometimes being a pescetarian in El Paso is difficult due to the lack of choices. Many places have meat-based meals, or cook in animal fat. Ripe however, offers quite a few options for us. One of my favorite items is the Vegetarian Panini. Lots of great vegetables and some awesome fries (although I do prefer the ones they use to have with Rosemary). If I'm in there for dinner, a MUST for me is the Spinach Artichoke Dip. The smoked Gouda, and the pop of the tomatoes take this to an entirely different level. If I had one complaint, it would be that they don't have the Veggie pizzas that I enjoyed before the remodel. read more

Salads are overdressed. We came back for a second try on the weekend for brunch. I felt like I had a better experience this time. The food portions are large so prepare for that. read more

Best bistro style restaurant in El Paso. Great food and service. A little pricey but worth it. Get the mahi-mahi sandwich with homemade chips for lunch. read more

What has happened?? We have lived in El Paso and close to Ripe for about a year. When we moved here Ripe came highly recommended and we enjoyed good food and excellent service. Over the past three months we have had several disappointing meals. Most recently we have found it suddenly difficult to get service. The wait staff seems a bit preoccupied. My wife orders the shrimp tacos and says they are good. I ordered the meatloaf and it truly tasted like ground beef shaped into a loaf and baked until it was dry and flavorless. My daughter ordered a hamburger medium rare. It came out with the middle raw. She sent it back and when they brought it back she could only eat the outside since the middle was still raw. Too many other good restaurants around the area to need to go back here again. Truly disappointed. read more

Super cute little place. Wonderful vibe; very calm and welcoming. I love the decor and the music they played. Came here for brunch this time (hoping for dinner next time). I got the french toast, which was interesting. The apples and cinnamon topping wasn't the crap from a can I expected; it was actually MADE. The batter AND the apples AND the maple syrup were a little much for me though. I also had a blueberry ricotta pancake, which was WONDERFUL. It was literally almost an inch thick, and huge. I also got bacon (very nice but could be better if more crisp) and a side of potatoes. The potatoes were disappointing; they cooked perfectly (nice and crispy on the outside and not dried out inside) but it was just deep fried potatoes without much going on. I would like some diced onion and a bit of seasoning for them to be perfect. Husband got the pineapple coconut (and possibly something I'm forgetting) pancakes and liked them. They reminded me of thai food though, and so they seemed incomplete to me. The mango mimosas sounded WONDERFUL but we don't drink, so I didn't try those. The complimentary biscuits at the beginning were a nice touch but I prefer a lighter biscuit, and would have liked them to be warm. They mostly just reminded me of Bisquik drop biscuits. Not horrible but not really memorable. It wouldn't bother me if they were left off next time. The dinner and dessert menus sound exciting so I can't wait to come try them out! We'll definitely be back. read more

Ripe u need to open far east! It's a long drive but, well worth it. The fish and chips are wonderful. The batter is like no other I have ever tasted. read more

The veg hash was excellent. I got basil pesto instead of the red pepper pesto and it was delicious. We also got a blueberry banana pancake and it was great. The portions are quite large so the veg hash and one pancake was enough for 2 people. It was a 20 minute wait on a Sunday at 11am, but definitely worth waiting for! read more

Always great food here and yesterday was no exception. Tried the Southwest scramble for the first time and it did not disappoint in its complex flavors. read more

These two and three star folks must be CIA trained chefs that are simply green in the industry and very colorfully green with envy, each time I eat here I am delighted and especially crazy about the brunch... Oh if only it were available each and every day.. Ripe is awesome Period. read more
