“Roadhouse Pizza at 102 Watson Street in Ripon is more than just a pizzeria; it's a place steeped in history, memories, and most importantly, mouth-watering flavors.As a regular patron for years, I can attest to the consistent quality and delightful taste that Roadhouse Pizza offers. The thin-crust pizzas, with their perfectly spiced tomato sauce, have become a personal favorite, unmatched by any other pizzerias in the area. Other standout dishes include the Philly steak, the deluxe hoagie (definitely ask for fresh mushrooms & bacon), and the Italian grinder sub – each one crafted to perfection.The building itself tells a rich story, dating back to the 1870s, having been everything from a saloon to an ice cream shop. In the 1970s, it transformed into Gus's Pizza Palace before becoming the iconic Roadhouse Pizza in 1978. The space has become a nostalgic location where many locals recall having their first dates or gatherings with friends and family.The infamous mural depicting gnomes, trolls, and a pastoral setting is a quirky touch that adds to the unique atmosphere. It's an art piece that has been preserved through the years, and it's something that never fails to catch the eye.Roadhouse Pizza is not only a place to enjoy delicious food but also a venue that represents the heart and soul of Ripon. Its continued commitment to quality, tradition, and community is a testament to why it has remained a favorite for so many years. If you find yourself in Ripon, a visit to Roadhouse Pizza is a must. A well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.“
“First time coming here! Was for my birthday on St. Patrick’s day. Was pretty busy but had raffles going on too. Food was ok. Better if chicken tenders were actually tenders (ground processed ones).. fiesta popper were great! Bourbon burger was good, wasn’t load with sauce, good combo of toppings.“
“For a bar that looks kinda run down and iffy outside, it sure is in great shape inside! We dropped in for a quick drink on Friday afternoon just to see what it was like. The outside gives the vibe of an old tavern/dive bar so I expected the inside to be the 1980's typical bar but I was definitely surprised to see how new and updated it was! The ladies room was super clean, the furniture in the bar was practically new, the bar was shiny. There was a small but good selection of alcohol and the bartender was friendly and informative about the other local *competition* and goings on in the area. We had already eaten lunch but I think we may drop in for a burger sometime and see what it's got going on.Give it a chance, you will be pleasantly surprised too!“
“We stopped in on St Pattys day. Good thing we got there around 1pm. Jim and Nancy started to play at 2pm and they packed the house! Great mix of music they got many people singing and some even danced. Poor Alaina was the only bartender for a while and although she was hoofing it, she just couldn’t quite keep up. The bar was clearly under staffed. One bartender for a big St Pattys day crowd was poor staffing. A couple of locals and off duty bartenders helped her out by filling beer and washing glasses. Brittany showed up later and then the two of them were able to recover and maintain. Smash burgers were about 40% of the menu but we ordered pepperoni pizza. It was good. The bar was clean, they wiped it several times while we were sitting there. Patrons and staff were friendly. We bought tee shirts and hoodies. Well made, with nice colorful designs. It was a good experience.“
“One of my favorite places to play live music at. Comfortable atmosphere, friendly patrons, and the bar owners go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. Drinks appropriately priced. The last few shows, they'd made Jell-O shots for people to take when they want. The beer garden out back is a refreshing space to get some air, sit back, relax, and indulge in conversation with friends new and old. Small town hospitality at its finest!“
“Came here just to try out a new place with a friend and it turned out to be such a cute and cozy place! Music was on point with its energy and the staff was super friendly and attentive. My friend and I were so enticed by everything on the menu, we didn't get to everything we wanted to try! But what we were able to eat was all very delicious. It's a great place to come and hangout!“
“I ordered the Italian beef panini of the daily special menu. Only $4.50 for a half sandwich and potato salad. It was great and I walked away full. If you try it I recommend te specail sauce. I think they called it "awesome sauce". Went great with the sandwich.“
“My experience at Tigers Bar and Grill was nothing short of amazing. The friendly owners, the lively atmosphere, and the mouthwatering pizza all contributed to a night filled with laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories. Whether you're looking for a low-key bar or a place to let loose and dance, Tigers Bar and Grill is the perfect spot. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fantastic time!“
