We drank beer from tap because of the good selection. I had a La Chouffe blond ale. Quite tasty. The food was excellent too. We shared a spicy sausage pizza. Good crust and tasty toppings. We talked with different folks around us. A really good vibe. Fun place that I'll definitely stop by for food or drink.

Thankfully I decided to go here after the debacle of a location I went to just before. When you…read morearrive, you look at the outside and wonder why is there such a larger parking lot. Well...I learned quickly that they have a great outdoor area, live music, and even a bocce court. It is very clean inside. Whoever designed the inside did a great job of fitting enough seating using all space, without feeling like you would be sitting on top of each other. I was there on a day in which they had 50 cent wings. 50 cents you ask? Yes, 50 cents. I was amazed. I haven't seen that in a long time. So, then I thought...I wonder how small they are. Ummm...they were not small at all! Nice sized wings, and sauced properly. I hate when places barely put any sauce on their wings, and this place did it the right way, not the wrong way. Prices overall were what you would expect. Nothing over the top by any means, but I have a feeling their specials each night are very popular.

The portions are huge! Enough to split between 2 people. The…read moresheer atmosphere is eccentric and creative.

I'm going five star, because I like bars that serve ribs that taste this great on a Saturday when…read moreI'm zipping out Youngstown on Oak st. and just remembered I really want a rack of ribs. It was 3pm when I walked in, and 30 minutes later after two beers walked out with a full rack, extra sauce. Best thing about the ribs? They have that light char taste that goes right through the meat down to the bone. The girl tending bar was great, took good care of my order, and that order was ready just as the beer went empty, so great service. The Oaks has been right here for many many years, pretty eclectic crowd, but mainly just a joint to enjoy the food, have a drink or a beer, and talk to folks. The inside is a nice mish mash of old photos, art that is more thoughtful than you'd expect, and a long wall length bar, that hits the far wall and becomes a row of booths coming back up the other wall. Plenty of good parking, and through the warm months they got outdoor bands, so, something for everyone. Oh, and it's a good place to just be. If you're alone, or killing time, perfect spot. Seriously. The pic is what I do once I get the ribs all the way back to New Castle, toss in a casserole put in the oven wrapped in foil at @240 degrees for 30-40 minutes, gets them right at perfect.

Not 5 minutes after we place an order the table behind us gets a full menu, with burgers and sandwiches on it. Am I a bit PO'd.... YEP Also the waitress doesn't smile. She looks miserable, geez, at least make an effort! So I ordered chicken and waffles and my husband ordered a few wings. As for the food..... The chicken tenders are AAMazing! Waffle is good and the hubs like the ginger lime wings although a small side of sauce and a few celery and carrots would make a better presentation. But for the diamond in the rough. I can only assume it was the manager/owner that delivered our food. I asked why we had a limited menu as I read here on Yelp I should have the prime grilled cheese. This man offed it to me on the house now that is some great customer service. I had to decline bc we have such a long drive ahead of us but he hands down was so kind. So I'm going with 4 stars. To sum this up I would happily come back just bc of his kind service! As we were finishing up Doug the owner came by again and he is a great reason to visit this place. He definitely has a heart for customer service!! Thanks Doug

What looks like a nondescript bar with a modern twist is actually a goldmine of appetizers. My family of five descended upon the place today and we ordered a slew of appetizers. Let me tell you, it was a feast for the ages. The place was immaculate, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was impeccable. I had a hard time choosing a favorite, but if I had to pick, it would be the Brussels sprouts and crab Rangoon dip, closely followed by the lime wings. We're all from different parts of town, but we'll definitely be back. It's a hidden gem worth discovering.

Rip's Cafe is a bar in Struthers area well known for its Slovak/Polish food especially the "Hunky…read morePlatter." I very randomly discovered this bar while in the area (Youngstown). I was really craving Eastern European food that tastes like home. All of the Eastern European restaurants were closed on Sunday except Rip's. I wasn't expecting much to be honest and really liked my time here. AMBIANCE: Basic dive bar. Humble surroundings. Plenty of TV's at the bar. Dim space. While this ambiance is not usually my cup of tea, I felt very comfortable here. Regulars were very nice and welcoming. FOOD/DRINKS: I ordered a glass of Moscato ($4). The wine brand was Barefoot. I don't drink this tier of wine to be honest. But I understand that dive bars don't stock upscale wine. A glass of wine was good. I ordered a few appetizers - Pirohy (6 pierogis, $6.99), one stuffed cabbage ($8.99), and 2 haluski ($13.98). The food was excellent for a dive bar and in general. I am a very tough critic of the food from my part of the world - Eastern Europe. This food was delicious and well done. It didn't taste frozen, but rather homemade. Everything was well salted and had enough butter. I was especially impressed with haluski and ordered multiple orders. I felt like for appetizers the portions were generous. The bartender mentioned that Hunky Platter ($16.99) is a popular choice. It comes with one stuffed cabbage, three pirohy, and a side of halusky. Essentially, I ordered the same thing but in larger quantity. SERVICE: The service was super friendly considering this is a dive. The bartender ensured I was happy, suggested different dishes, and asked personal questions. It was very pleasant interaction. I'm not a dive gal, but I'll absolutely be returning. The food is absolutely delicious. It's like a hidden gem for quality dinner. I can't wait to experience other menu items next time. Go experience Hunky Platter, you'll love it!

Wings for .35 on Tuesdays. And a honking huge lasagna for $7 on Sundays, just ask for it browned, sometimes it comes out room temperature. They got really really good food. A wraparound bar, plenty of tables and chairs for groups. And a nice fenced in outdoor patio. The place gets four out of five stars, the pizza crust is nicely raised, cooked to a gold brown. Really exactly my favorite kind of pizza pie crust. Chewy and just thick enough. And the pizza comes with plenty of cheese, and sauce that is tangy/sweet and just enough, not too much. In the end, a nice place, really friendly staff, really GOOD FOOD, and good drink specials and happy hour. Recommended as a good place to go if you are just in town for a short visit, or you have lived here for years and want that chewy tasty cheesy tangy pizza pie! Feb 24 2020... Added a couple pix. I FINALLY got the $10 strip steak dinner. Baked tater and a salad. Seriously so much better than it had any right to be. I ordered rare, and got RARE! Made me so happy! I also got mushrooms. Got a bowl of thick sliced shrooms. Seriously it was so great! And bartender/server was attentive. Great service. Was like 4:00pm, in case the owner reading this.
