Went to eat Sunday brunch at Rippington's. While we love the quaint atmosphere of Waxhaw -- the brunch was mediocre. There was only 4 tables being used. The waitrss informed us that the "fryer" had been broken for several days and therefore the famous french toast was not available. She also said customers had left when told the fryer was broken. I ordered the crapes and asked for the sauce on the side or go very "light" on the sauce. The crapes were stuffed and topped with a cup of heavy cream sauce. We were there 45 minutes before our food arrived. We will try Rippington's again but not for brunch. If the restaurant is not well attended we will try another restaurant. Large crowds usually indicate a popular setting. Disappointed
