OMG this is a hidden gem! The food and drinks were fantastic. This is a mom and pops restaurant with class on lake ponchitrain (casual attire). The owners were fantastic and this felt like home. Everything we ordered was Great!! Service was great! They are booked up through Mother's Day so that should say something. Prices were reasonable! We had left overs without appetizers! Thank you Rosalyn and Skip for everything!!

Enjoyed my dinner at Rips. The gumbo was good. Made Cajun style with dark roux, with lots of shrimp. I personally prefer Creole style, with okra and tomatoes. I enjoyed the seafood pasta. Very good was creamy and had lots of shrimp, with white crab meat on top. Portions were large. Brought enough home for two more meals. Billy was my server and most attentive. Hope to go back during daytime hours so I can enjoy the view.

Had a reservation issue at another restaurant so we went to Rips & they took us immediately.
Large portions, friendly wait staff, & parking was easy. THANK You for making my birthday dinner with family so enjoyable! 😺
