Story

Rutt's Hut is a restaurant in Clifton, New Jersey known for its style of deep-fried hot dogs. The process of frying causes the hot dog casings to crack and split, which has led to the nickname "Rippers". The restaurant is also known for its homemade Relish.The original roadside stand was opened in 1928 by Royal "Abe" Rutt and his wife, Anna. The family sold the restaurant to the current owners, George Petropoulakis, Louis Chrisafinis, Nicholas Karagiorgis, and George Sakellaris in late 1974. Today the building is split into three separate sections: a restaurant, a bar, and a take-out counter.Rutt's Hut has been featured on the PBS special A Hot Dog Program, numerous Food Network shows and the Travel Channel's Deep-Fried Paradise. It is also listed in the book 1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die.Pin-up Queen Bettie Page had a series of photos taken where she and another model were eating hot dogs on a boat in bikinis. Those photos were taken on the Passaic River after a visit to Rutt's.

Deep fried hot dogs are the attraction here. The ripper is the most popular, fried until the skin rips open. For less done, try an in-and-outer. If you want it crispy, it's the creamator. I recommend you get your fries with cheese and gravy. Also, the relish is out of this world. I don't even eat relish usually, but here I slather it on. They sell containers of it to take home. Bring cash, no cards accepted.

I went there only for the hot dog so I cannot comment on the bar or other menu items. I bought the hot dog platter.The dog itself was awesome although the quality of the bun brought down its taste. But overall, I loved it and will definitely be going back for more. I am taking off a star as the location/ambience of the place doesn’t give lot of confidence. Plus the coleslaw was brain-freezing cold. Hence.. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Having lived in Jersey for the better part of my life life this was the first time ever going there. A friend of mine swore these were the best dogs in Jersey so I gave it a shot. I had their highly-praised hot dogs with their signature relish sauce and fries. I honestly have to say that I ate the hot dogs because I was starving, truthfully I wouldn't go there again in my opinion they are not the greatest hot dogs and the sauce was nothing to brag about

Was on vacation and heard about Rutt's about 10 years ago. Stopped in, staff, counter guys great. Loved it. Was back in area a few weeks ago. Let's go to Rutt's. What a difference. Staff didn't seem to give a damn. Place needs Servpro or some cleaning service. Buns & fries tasted old. Definitely not the place we remember.

What can you say. A classic Dive from our past. Unhealthy food that we all love. Prices from the 80's. If you like a good old fashion grease our, Ruts the place. I do it about twice a year after a might out with the guys. Last stop before I crash.
