We've been meaning to try Rippington's for several weeks and finally made it tonight to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends. We absolutely LOVE downtown Waxhaw and Rippington's seems to have the perfect character for this little downtown vibe.
Our waitress (Stacey) was FANTASTIC! She was attentive, made great suggestions and was very friendly and courteous. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip which was clearly homemade and awesome. Stacey also told us that the fried cheese is homemade so it was a tough decision and we'll definitely try the cheese next time! I had the Tournedos Dijonnaise which is two 4oz filets with a cream sauce, mashed potatoes and veggies. The mashed potatoes were great and the veggies were great, but the steak was out of bounds good. Cooked perfectly, and that cream sauce was awesome. The hubs got the Buttermilk Encrusted Chicken which he loved, and the couple that we were with had the Chicken Picatta and the NY Strip. Everyone loved their dinner and we had a fantastic time.
We will definitely go back to Rippington's (especially for that fried cheese), and with so many great restaurants popping up in downtown Waxhaw I'd definitely recommend that anyone put this on their list the next time they're in town.
