RIPPERS started with a grill, a beach, and one simple rule: if we wouldn't eat it ourselves, we wouldn't serve it. That was over a decade ago.
Today we're still smashing patties by hand, cutting fries fresh every morning, and serving the best burger on the Rockaway boardwalk. No shortcuts. No frozen beef. Ever.

"Best burger I've had in New York. The Ripper Classic is an absolute monster — juicy, perfectly smashed, and that sauce is unreal. Worth the trip to Rockaway alone."
"Go after the beach — it's the perfect combo. Loaded fries are dangerous (I ate the whole thing by myself). Milkshakes are thick and amazing. Highly recommend."
"A Rockaway institution. Been coming here for years. The Shorefront Smash is a challenge but I finish it every time. Great staff, perfect beach vibes."
No reservations needed. Walk in, grab a table, and let us make you the best burger you've had all summer.
