Incredible experience! My first visit here. My brother invited me for a biweekly luncheon. A lot of drag racing personalities. Many that I've looked up to since my childhood. I was honored to shake their hands and get pictures with them. The food was incredible! The service was fast and courteous, atmosphere was perfect for a good time. Love the way it was decorated. They give you your silverware wrapped in a classic blue shop rag 🤣. Being an old mechanic, I really appreciated this. Can definitely highly recommend Rip Rap Roadhouse!

The food was very good. Ordered the Hog Tots for an appetizer. They were good but not quite enough for the $$. For the meal, I ordered the Biker Burge cooked Med. Rare. The burger was really good and cooked perfectly. The inside atmosphere is really nice.

We stopped in for dinner during our visit to Dayton. They were having a car show and the place was very busy on a Friday night however we got seated very quickly. We ordered the fish and chips, and Steak dinners. All our meals were delicious and cooked to perfection. We had a few drinks that was very refreshing. The place has plenty of seating with a great atmosphere. Our waitresses was awesome and very attentive. We also enjoyed reviewing the cars after we finished our meal. We had a wonderful dining experience.

First time going to Rip Rap and we were pleasantly surprised!! A little slow getting service at first but then it was all good. Beers are huge and food was amazing! Bar area had a great atmosphere and we will definitely return when we’re up that way!

Food was ok but it was a limited menu because of the motorcycle event going on. Service was good, no wait and we had a party of 8. The extra tall beer was probably the single largest beer I've ever had. Served in a big mason jar.

Been here two or three times now. The drive from down south is a bit of a trek, but the food and service were worth it. The pepperoni pizza is solid, and the smoked wings are great. And even though I've been there when they've been busy as hell, never had a problem getting a seat, and there's somehow never a long wait for food. Worth a visit.

Good place you can take your family to eat. Dimly lit inside. Food was your typical bar/restaurant food. Would I go back? Probably not, but I'm not a biker and live 30 minutes away.

Jack Martin

Far better food than expected given it's biker-bar, divey vibe. Downchecked one star as they were out of several things, and had no decent white wine for my wife. The beer was good. And be aware a "tall" beer is a full quarter mason jar, more than I could finish with a meal. But I'm 66, and my appetite/capacity has waned; ymmv.
