Simply the best. Food is tasty. Scene is awesome. The return of rippers is a highlight of every summer
I loved the burger at rippers! It was just perfect, and they do not skimp on the fries. The staff was friendly, there is plenty of seating and they have regular performances and bands that create a fun atmosphere.
Burger was great, fries are well seasoned as everyone else notes (a bit too much for me personally). A vegetarian friend got the vegan burger with regular cheese and said it was really good
If you go to Rockaway and don't make a Rippers pit stop, you're just messing up.
We need our burger fix every time we go to Rockaway! Burgers, hotdogs, fries, ice cream, and drinks are fantastic! Try the Hardbody, aka double cheeseburger! You won't be disappointed!
Every summer I make a point of coming to Rippers at least once, and somehow every year it’s better than the last. I usually go for the house made veggie burger, which is THE BEST veggie burger I’ve ever had. I dream abt it in the winter I swear. This year they started serving chicken tenders with a house made ranch, and never in my life have I had a tendie so good. It is unbelievable the quality of food at this little beach side shack. Hoping to return before summers end!
Rippers was so good! I love the way they season their fries and the burgers were fire. They have a great veggie burger that I recommend. Also don’t sleep on the cinnamon saucer, it’s out of this world. I had never heard of cinnamon ice cream before but it really hit the spot. Will be coming back to try the drinks next time! Also you can’t beat food on the beach.
Rippers is the best! Great food drinks and music! Unfortunately Google shows it as being open year round but it is in fact a seasonal business on the boardwalk. Don’t get your hopes up yet, but when summer comes it’ll be time to Rip again
