Rips On The Lake was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had!!! Food, atmosphere and service were terrific !!!! Try the crab cakes, onion rings and Trout Audrey!!!! Fabulous food!!!!

If you plan on having a large party do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. y
You will thank me later.

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!!
