Had the rippy 's sampler platter. Lots there for two people. The onion rings were the best! The ribs fell off the bone and had a great smokey flavour but they were abbot dry. Loved the pickle. The wings were good. The live music was easy to listen to.
Stopped in for some beer and a appetiser. The beer was as good as a Shiner could be, and the nachos were acceptable, nothing special. Service was good, prices were a bit steep but oh well.
Pulled chicken bbq sandwich was huge and tasted great!! Fries were decent! Live music was great!! Sweet tea was good!! Service was AWESOME!! If you're a beard connoisseur(guys) or lover(girls) come in and ask for Jacob B!
Visiting from Gator Country. Tried the sampler, huge portion, very good. Music was also good. Beer selection could be better, but overall, highly recommend Rippies.
Good food. Good music. Good time. Not sure what all the bad reviews are about!
The food at Rippys is good! We ordered the pulled smoked cocked platter with beans and slaw, and it was great. Local beer in bottles costs about what you expect for downtown ($5.50/each). Our server, Johnny, took care of us well. I'd say take a chance if you're on the fence, and make sure to go upstairs for outdoor seating.
Come for the food and atmosphere (can be very loud) and not the service. If they had good service the line would be out the door
Fantastic fried pickles. When in Rome.... try the local cuisine. "Fried Pickles" were new to us and the ones at Rippy's were delicious!!!! They were dill spear shape. The place was jumping for the convention in town so it took awhile for our family of 4 to find a place to sit and have drinks and apps, but worth it. We ended up on the main level and listened to great music. A musician from the band went from table to table with his tip jar which I thought was a bit forward, but maybe that's just the way it is.
Cool place. Haven't tried any food here however the staff was friendly and the drinks were great! Can't get used to seeing kids in a bar like this but they are allowed! The upstairs open, heated patio is a great place to hang out with friends and listen to the live music/watch down on the sights of Broadway.
Excellent bar, average food
Typical bar/restaurant/honkytonk on the main drag. Ribs were good, live music was great (cover bands), service was good. A bit crowded, but we were able to find a seat for lunch on Saturday.

This was one of my favorites. The service from our waiter was phenomenal. The staff was amazing. They had great bands.
Lisa, our server, was excellent. Gold star for attentiveness, personality, and amazing service. People= amazing. Food and drink= were ok. Lisa made sure everything was amazing and perfect for my first time in Nashville. Give that girl a raise! The entire brand rides her fantastic work ethic and persononality.
Absolutely hands down the best ribs ever! Falls off the bone and a perfect smoked. The baked beans are so yummy too. The best part was our server Brian. Everything he recommended was spot on. He was kind and tentative. We will be back 100%
We absolutely love this place!! The food, atmosphere and service, amazing. We were lucky enough to have Brice as our server on multiple occasions. Brice is 5 Star! We will be back in December with a big group and will definitely visit again. Colleen & Kenny Wallace
Rippy’s is quite possibly our favorite Honky Tonk in Nashville. This was our second trip to Nashville, and second time to Rippy’s. Both visits have been excellent. It is the perfect place on Broadway to enjoy good drinks, and AMAZING food. This visit, we got an order of fried pickles, and a Buffalo chicken wrap with fried chicken in it to split between the three of us. This was plenty of food for a day of bar hopping. Everything we have ever ordered here has been great amounts of food at decent prices. Our drinks were good too, I got a Bloody Mary and my parents drank beer.
The staff at Rippy’s is friendly and genuine. Very attentive, but not overbearing. The live music was really enjoyable, and we especially loved the band’s original songs. I didn’t catch their names, but they were fantastic. Great food, drinks, music, and service, and an amazing view of Broadway from the second floor!
It was very crowded, but we got drinks quickly. Ordered Ribs and Fried Pickles. Arrived quickly. Food was hot and very good. Our dirty dishes were cleared quickly and table wiped off. The music was fabulous. I was very impressed.
I had the ribs which were fall off the bone with just a bite, Perfectly cooked! Service was great, never had to ask for drink refill. The band that was playing was the best band on the strip in my opinion. Great place to go for great music, food and drink!
First bar we went to on Broadway/Honky Tonk Highway and it determined the entire course of our weekend because Jessica Terrell was performing. She is the best artist we listened to all weekend, so we ended up coming back to Rippy’s again two days later to watch her again (and seeing her at Taco Bell Cantina the day in between). In addition to Jessica, the bar has good service, good apps, and even an impossible burger for vegans! Their diet cokes are awesome too! As I write this review, I am thinking about going to the gift shop to commemorate the awesome Rippy’s experience.
