Ripe Thing Market — Local services in Greensboro

Not a whole lot of fat like a lot of places serve. The slaw was not too sweet and not to tangy, but the serving size could have been larger. Overall, the food was good, but the price was a little steep...$28 for two specials. With that said, the atmosphere was great and the staff was super friendly, something that goes a long way in my book!

Went to this on a day trip because I was in the area. A very quant and charming place. They were under staffed but the older gentleman took care of me and handled cooking and serving food. Lots of hand made things to buy. Food, jams and jellies, soaps and lotions. The natural spays were out of stock when I went there but sounded amazing. I got a lot of food to take home and try. A great place to shop...
