16 Best American Restaurants near Ripon

“Great service and amazing food with large portions and reasonable prices. Our orders came quickly, and our server was friendly and professional. Would highly recommend to others, and we will be going there again.“

“I’m back here again and let me tell you this is a must stop place!! Not only do they serve Wisconsin favorites, but their elevated menu offers dishes that rival big-city restaurants. Their Friday fish special is unbeatable. This past Friday they had scallops which were perfectly seared, buttery, and paired with vibrant seasonal flavors. Actually the corn from the dish was from a local farm stand, delicious. We also got the beet & goat cheese salad, a delectable contrast of sweet, tangy, and nutty flavors. For drinks I went with the The Lime in the Coconut which is a fun take on a daiquiri with coconut cream, lime, and a hint of Tajín for balance. The creative drink list—featuring favorites like the Dragon Rita Tini and James Hendrix—makes this the perfect place for dinner and drinks.“

“Visited Ripon’s Culver’s for a quick custard treat and as usual it’s never a disappointment to consume Culver’s products. Always good. But the employee at the register made this visit well worth the visit. His name is NEVEAR. My son and I with Nevear got to talking about unusual names at the counter and when he walked out our order the conversation continued for a short while longer. Nevear not only knew some unusual names but also knew some of the origins of the names we discussed. Smart kid and also very polite as well!! Great hire Culver’s! While the food is always good,it’s sometimes an employee that adds that special touch to a Culver’s visit! 👍“

“Amazing place, with amazing people! Great food and great location. A "must stop" when you are in Berlin“

“The Gooseblind is a great place to go for FRESH, homemade food to order! Yeah the wait can sometimes be a bummer… but that’s a cost I’m willing to take when I know my food is being made fresh to order!! Nothing here is “premade” & a lot of love & energy goes into the food. The burgers are delicious, apps are always great, pizzas are PHENOMENAL (fully made fresh- even homemade dough!!) & the sandwiches are always amazing! Come to the Goose for some amazing food! Obviously don’t be a douche & demand that your party of over 10 people be sat immediately when it’s super busy. That’s basic restaurant courtesy that a lot of people have seemed to have forgotten….“

“Had the full rack of ribs on Sat. night, they were excellent fall off the bone done, tasty sauce that was just the right amount, not to messy not to dry. Slaw was tasty, potato wedges were tasty too. Wife had the 4 piece chicken w/baked potato and was very happy. We both brought some home for another meal. Everybody was friendly and very accommodating. We will return soon.“

“This is a Wisconsin gem. Sue made us feel like we have been coming there for years. One side is the bar that has that Wisco awesome vibe and the other side is the restaurant that feels like a vintage supper club. We had a large group and they took care of us so great. The food and drinks are super reasonable. You will not be disappointed.“
