Rutt's Hut a NJ icon and home of the ripper. A ripper is a deep fried hot dog which splits open while cooking, tasty they are. Rutt's is also known for its birch beer drink.. Rutt's Hutt was established in 1928 as a roadside stand by Royal"Abe" Rutt and his wife Anna. They sold there life long work in the mid 70's 1974 I think and it's still going strong today. I am not sure if the same people own it today or not. Personally they can sell it to who ever they want but if they change anything it might be Rutts downfall. There are 3 parts to Rutt's Hut, a take out counter, a restaurant and a bar. Oh...they also make a hot dog relish which is outstanding. CASH ONLY....
Great dogs and other food, been around since the 20's. It's a local icon.
Awesome hot dogs... aka THE RIPPER.... RELISH IS GREAT... ALSO LIKE TO DIP HOT DOGS IN THEIR BROWN GRAVY.. OR FRENCHIE WELL DONE WITH GRAVY ON THE SIDE...GREAT FOOD...
Best hot dogs in the eastern part of the country. Ripper is deep fried hot dog causing the casing to rip. House recipe relish. Also serve beef barb, gravy dipped burgers and fries. Recipes have not changed since 1920s. Local legends
It's all about the ripper dogs! 90 years in the making!!
I've been eating there since I was a fetus. To do it right: Go to the side with the stand up counters and then order X Rippers, 1 onion (onion rings), 1 birchie. Make sure to heap on the relish. There is nothing like Rutt's Hut...period.
