I just love the nostalgia of this place. Hot dogs are great, so are the prices. Tonight I tried something different, just to see hey maybe it’s good. I had the duck, wasn’t bad but I wouldn’t get it again. Dry in most of the parts and not a lot of meat, more bones than anything. Looked amazing though, the presentation was good. Came with a side of mashed potatoes that was delicious and definitely made in house. But next time I’m sticking to the hot dogs and onion rings.

We sat in the bar area. No frills but our server was sweet and sat us at a bigger table so we could have some more space to spread out. I got a plain ripper and added the relish and mustard, amazing. I then went for a weller with their cooked onions, amazing but I preferred the plain with relish and mustard so I got another weller. I also got onion rings which were perfectly crispy and fries which were crispy and fluffy inside. The only thing I didn’t like was the pork sandwich with gravy. It tasted one note and kinda bland. I put the relish on it but it didn’t save it all too much. The rice pudding was homey and comforting Everything else was outstanding!! Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area

This is a local hole-in-the-wall spot. Old school. The hot dogs were good, not mind blowing, but great for the price and the vibe. Onion rings were whack, batter barely stayed on the onions! Would definitely not go out of my way to come here, but if I was driving by and feeling in the mood for a dirty dawg and fun atmosphere I’d come again. Warning: CASH ONLY.

A definite must stop if you are on the quest for a good hot dog! Their unique deep fried dogs rip open when cooked which is why they're called "rippers!" This cooking method gives them a unique outer texture and adds a layer of flavor as well. If you're bear Clifton, NJ it's worth the stop! The atmosphere of the building is also the sames as it was in the 1920's. Pretty cool vibe!

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed 2 rippers with chili and cheese. I was told to try the homemade relish and the spicy brown mustard. The hot dogs are on point and would have been perfect with a beer but I was on the clock . The staff seemed to be friendly and told me they had been here for 97 years. Seems like the place has a good tradition of patrons.
