        Small Bites
        • Cuban Plantain Boat
          a roasted ripe plantain stuffed with a codfish vegetable medley- a sexy play on salt and sweet fidel's favorite.
        • Jerk Chicken Quesadilla
          a soft flour tortilla stuffed with jerk chicken, pepper jack cheese, and grilled mushrooms. served with mexican sour cream and a tropical mango salsa. for the jamexican in you.
        • Strawberry Hill Codfish Spring Rolls
          a customer favorite, asian style deep-fried rolls stuffed with plantain, codfish, roasted peppers, caramelized onions, and spinach. served with a vidalia onion mustard sauce.
        Large Bites
        • Ripes big-ass Jerk Rib-eye Steak
          a 16 oz rib-eye monster, marinated in our signature jerk rub, flashed on the grill, and crowned with a chandon beni sauce. it would please even fred flintstone. we dare you to finish it served with rice & peas or french fries.
        • Ripes Original backyard Jerk Chicken
          our infamous jerk chicken is marinated for 24 hours in our own made from scratch dry and wet jerk rub, then slow cooked for 2 hours to create the irie-est jerk chicken north of port antonio, jamaica. none of that lame-ass, oven baked crap. comes with rice or hardough bread. 1/4 chicken.1/2 chicken.
        • Yard Gone To Italy (rasta Pasta)
          a rastaman informed us we were not being politically correct, so we changed the name. another customer favorite (even the dang italians love it!) linguine with large florida shrimp, mushrooms, organic spinach, ricotta, and imported parmesan cheese in a heavenly, shrimpy, garlicky, cheesy sauce. you may substitute jerk chicken instead of shrimp.
        Side Bites
        • Mixed Baby Field Green Salad
        • Sauteed Organic Spinach
        • Rice & Peas

        Overall
        Riped and satisfied

        Looking for a restaurant in which you will get the caribbean feel...well then I would highly recommend that you visit The Ripe restaurant. The food is great (I love the fried red snapper) and the service is great as well. I suggest that you make reservations prior to visiting the restaurant other wise you will have to experience some waiting time but, for those who do not mind the wait can have a seat at the bar and enjoy a refreshing Rum Punch while you listen to the soft beats to the reggae music.

        General Info
        Casual Caribbean neighborhood restaurant & bar. with outdoor seating in the summer months. Classic Caribbean fare not so much with a twist, but rather just executed properly, simply, not overdone or over-embellished with just a hint of excitement. We cringe at terms like fusion. Just let the food be food. When we opened these doors way back in May 2003, we had one definite vision, a commitment to a menu inspired by Jamaica, but without boundaries. Just good simple food and the freedom to pull from any cuisine and make it our own. 16 years later we are proud to see so many other Caribbean kitchens following our lead by removing the shackles of strict adherence to conventional fare and allowing their creativity to guide menu developmentCasual Caribbean neighborhood restaurant & bar. with outdoor seating in the summer months.
