I just went to Rippingtons for the first time in many years and had a great meal. We were there for brunch on Sunday at around 11 am and no wait.
Pros:
Great ambiance in downtown Waxhaw in a cute historic building.
Food was good.
Reasonable prices.
Cons:
Service was a little lacking in terms of being slow with refills/checking to see if we needed refills, and bringing our check.
Limited menu for brunch.
But we were pleased overall and will definitely be going back.
