“I love this bar! Unpretentious and occasionally uproarious, this is where you meet the real Waunakee. It may not be to everyone's taste but if you love a good Wisconsin tavern you have got to visit Ripp's! "Ripp's Bar, where the winners are!"“

“Awesome first visit and definitely not the last“

“Bowling here is fun only two issues are every time I go it’s always packed. But that’s because of how fun it is so I don’t mind waiting my main main issue is they got rid of rocky rococo’s the best pizza place on earth and for that I am deeply disappointed by the new owners bring it back please we all want it back“

“Where to begin…I truly would give this whole experience more than 5 stars if I could. It was my sister and I’s first time dining here and let’s just say it more than exceeded expectations in every way possible. The customer service was over the top incredible with Kennedy as our server and Jenna too. The manager, Emily, stopped by and was amazing as well. They were all professional, catering to us, and genuinely warm and kind. The food was fantastic and over the top. And the vibes were immaculate. Run, don’t walk to the Harvey House. I can promise you won’t regret it!“

“College visit with the daughter and we dined here with friends on Saturday 28th Sept and being originally from the UK, and seeing the fish and chips were haddock (not cod) I immediately had to have them and they were the best fish and chips this side of the “pond” having put up with 12 years of “just ok” fish and chips, these were amazing. Not only were the fish and chips good, but every dish was a winner. I am now praying my daughter gets into the college as I will be a regular here.“

“Fun suprise. The Diablo corn was fantastic. Also grabbed an order of the brisket nachos. Also really good. Was not able to finish the nachos. All while having a frosty beverage from the tap. Going to stop again really soon. Sat out on the sidewalk at a table. Side Street was not overly busy and was shaded.“

“Sara was great!
They let you sample as many as you would like.
I love the idea of beer without hops!

to be a part of a brewery like this.“

Parking: Lots of.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“
