Delicious, people!! Rippington's is quite a charming restaurant in downtown Waxhaw, NC. The food is incredible. Rippington's is in a 100-year-old building which used to be, back in the day, a livery stable or a feed & hardware store. Much of that seems to still be here, from looking at the front door, hardwood floors and high ceiling.
You'll have a hard time choosing dinner due to the incredible menu, but I'll tell you that Maryland has met its match on the crab cakes. Surf 'n' Turf is one of my favorites. Rippington's Pasta and the grilled salmon are also very tasty. The fried mushrooms are a good appetizer. Warning on the desserts: they are big enough for at least two people.
Rippington's is easily accessible if you live in the Charlotte area, and is a great stop if you want to spend some time exploring historic downtown Waxhaw.
