Get the Rippers - deep fried hotdogs fried until their cases crack and split. Try them topped with chili , the cheese , and the special mustard-based relish made with cabbage , onions , and carrots .

Your order: 2 rippers with cheese , topped with raw onions & their famous (non-pickle) relish . A side of chili with beans to pour a top and in perfect jersey fashion, disco fries with mozz and gravy .

Jason Shellhammer

Best ???? you’ll find. The chili is also insane! Prices are super cheap . Make sure to also get the red birch beer . Home of the Ripper . It routinely is voted best ???? in the US

Herb Raskin

Classic hot dog shack but with much more than just hot dogs (Rippers ) on the menu. Great topping like chili and unusual relish . Menu covers the gambit of fried foods and sandwiches . Birch beer on tap !

Jeanne Mauermeyer

Been enjoying since my childhood. Famous hot dogs ( rippers ) and wonderful service. Small family reunion was successful due to their great food, old time atmosphere ...

Eddie P

Just get a hotdog ("a Ripper "), put some relish on it. Wash it down with a Birch beer . Gravy fries are also great. Cash only .

The hot dogs with the relish are incredible if you haven’t had a dog from Rutts you must put it on your bucket list if your a fan of hot dogs .

Village Voice

Our own Robert Sietsema calls these delicious hot dogs “the first taste of summer.” The beautiful view of the Passaic River ain’ttoo bad either!

Ahmie Becks

Get a ripper and make sure you use the relish . Eat standing and gazing out to the highway for a true Rutt experience. We head here every time we are remotely close.

Alecia Ali

I have been going here since I was a kid with my grandparents. Lots of great memories of the diniing room and food.

Andrew Aliferis

They call it a "dive", it really isn't. Hearty food, pleasant bright atmosphere and a neat 1920's bar . I definitely will come again.

James Kiernan

Down and dirty local joint with arguably the best glizzies in NJ! ???? Wash down with a beer or three. Enjoy!!

Tom Walsh

This is an iconic place that has amazing hot dogs and relish a must is order the ripper you will love it.

Marco Navarra

Great no frills stand up counter service for deep fried dogs with homemade relish and chili on the side. Dont expect anything else. That's what the place is about.

Marc

Eater: hot dogs w/house relish r so delicious, hard to not wolf them down before you get outside; onion rings are spectacular, french fries just okay, but better when dipped in the relish .

Filter Scan / Sean

Best hot dogs ever, load up your ripper (hotdogs ) with relish . The relish recipe is locked in a safe in a unknown location from what I heard. Fast service seriously! Cash only !

Frank Ranu

Even if you don't like relish , you have to try Rutt's mustard relish--it is frigging great! You haven't had a hot dog until you try one from Rutt's Hut. Stand in the front or get them to go.

Keith Johnson

Rippers are the best with chili on the side and the homemade yellow relish . 2 Rippers , Frenchy 1..travelin!!!

Do not forget to try the house made relish on your Ripper - it's mustard based with carrots , cabbage and onions .

Brooks Doyne

Best hotdogs I've ever had. Try their relish . I usually don't like relish but theirs is a crazy combo that is delicious with some spicy mustard . Great onion rings too.

Ricky Sherrill

Nothing beats 2-3 "rippers " with chile. Throw is some fries or onion ring (or both) & I guarantee you will walk away happy.

Was told not to get the kraut and to try their famous house relish instead. I was pleased with the decision.
