    Pot roast grilled cheese and sweet potato fries marshmallow and maple dipping sauce
    Luna B.

    Kid Rip's is a major asset to south jersey. The service is always super friendly and informative about the menu. The food has been fresh and delicious. They have talented twists on classic favorites. Like French toast marshmallow dip on the side of sweet potato fries and grilled cheese with 5 cheeses with sun dried tomato soup. Cotton candy and cannoli dip desserts. It's a bar atmosphere with a friendly neighborhood vibe .

    Even the menus they give you are different from each other

    Whats the step above "dive bar?? Because that's where Kid Rips lies. Some to like, most to not. I knew Kid Rips was over for me when I asked for a straw for my water, which tasted like leaded toilet water btw, and the waiter walked up, and inserted an unwrapped straw directly into my water. Just raw dogged a straw from his pocket or whereever, STRAIGHT into my beverage. The waiter was VERY nice otherwise, but him dropping a straw he fondled with his bare hands, directly into my drink was a bridge too far for me. The next knock on Kid Rips is that although the website SPECIFICALLY STATES that they have a kids menu, they do NOT infact, have a kids menu. In fact, the menu is a bit of a mess. Weird specials, the first like 4 pages of the menu are cocktails, then a history lesson about the bar, etc. One of the options is tacos, but on the menu, it comes in 3 options: pork, shrimp and "burnt turkey." But, on the OTHER menu they give you, it's "shrimp tempura, burnt turkey and cod fish." The Misses actually WANTED fish tacos, but got an enchilada wrap, when she couldn't crack the code of Kid Rips actually having "cod fish" tacos. The NEXT knock was that although they have a monday burger special of $2 off any burger, (except Bison burger), they infuriatingly upcharge to get fries instead of chips. Because there was no *censored* kids menu, LIKE IT IS POSTED ON THE DAMN WEBSITE, I had to upgrade to get fries for the little one. That burger by the way, was ordered medium, and came out within a hairs breadth of WELL DONE. The Misses remarked that the place was dirty, but I wouldn't go that far. It needed some more attention to the sweeping, but it looked clean overall. The food wasn't BAD, it's just not a place I'd be in any sort of rush to get back to. It's MUCH, MUCH more condusive to a night of watching the game at the bar, and I would probably prefer this to say a Millers, depending on how busy it gets, but anything other than that, I'm all the way out. Kind of surprised at the glowing reviews of this place, but I do see that most of them are pretty old. Maybe it's gone downhill.

    Kid Rip's is a cozy spot where you seat yourself. The place is quite small, so if you're looking for quicker service, I'd recommend sitting at the bar. The bartender was incredibly nice and made a delicious Cosmo (my girlfriend loved it!), but she was clearly being pushed to her limits while a man who seemed to work there but wasn't really doing anything and just in the way, which was a bit off-putting. For our appetizer, we tried the avocado fries with a spicy sauce, and they were fantastic. My girlfriend ordered the fried chicken fajita wrap with chips and enjoyed the peppers and onions in it. I went with the What Came 1st Fried Chicken Sandwich. It was delicious, and the fried egg had just the right amount of yolk without making a mess. The food was great, but the slow and somewhat odd service knocked it down a star for us. Overall, a good experience with tasty food--just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

    Chicken Avocado Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries, Marshmallow and Maple Syrup Sauce

    Delicious bar-style restaurant with quick service and casual atmosphere! The sweet potato fries especially stood out due to their brown sugar and maple flavor, which I'm taking back home with me to north Jersey for my own home meals!

    My Joseph loves him some burgers, but never had been here. I hadn't thought about Kid Rip's in a while for some reason? On this particular Saturday afternoon (not prime time lunch or anything - 1:30 p.m. ish), the service was just terrible! Our server was friendly enough, but didn't apologize for the slow service, which annoyed me. As prior, the food was terrific - delicious mushroom burger and grilled cheese. I absolutely loved my (sprinkled with sugar) sweet potato fries (with sides of marshmallow dip and another brown? one). I asked for a spoon for my cup of tomato soup twice. Our server brought us AS WE WERE FINISHING OUR MEALS. It was cold at this point - just had one spoonful. She was MIA and acted like it was nothing. Her tip reflected this - sorry. If their food wasn't so good, I wouldn't return.

    French onion soup...which I was really looking forward to
    Missy S.

    I've heard so many fantastic things about Kid Rip's that I knew I had to try it. I was jonesing hard for French onion soup and heard that they had some of the best so that sealed the deal and we went for dinner. When we got there, there was about a 20 minute wait, which made sense at 8:30 PM on a Friday night. It was a bit frustrating when another group came in about 10 minutes after we did without a reservation or anything and were seated right away. Again, not a huge deal - there were four of them and only two of us so we figured that had something to do with it. The waitress was super nice and attentive. It's a tavern and so it's not surprising, but it was incredibly loud and not easy at all to hear each other. Once more, not the biggest deal but it diminished the experience. As far as food, we ordered the truffle fries, which were excellent the chicken strips, and the poached pear salad, which were all excellent and huge portions. Ironically, the one thing that I really wanted was the one thing that I did not like: the French onion soup was just too intense and salty. I couldn't finish it which I don't think has ever happened to me. I admit that I was surprised that they didn't at least offer to take it off the bill (I told the waitress) so that was disappointing. Otherwise, the food was very good and we will try it again.

    Went here with my son on a weeknight. Parking is pretty tight here. We got lucky and found a spot. This was our first time here. I had to try a burger, it was good. My son got the chicken sandwich which was grilled but he substituted for fried (which means they use homemade chicken fingers). The chicken sandwich was the best, very big chicken fingers. The fries were good but need to be a crispy if you ask me, they were soggy. The sauces they let us try with the fries were both good! I'd eat here again. Want to try more things!

    The food is ok. I would say a little overpriced for subpar bar food. There are many other places, in the area, that are better and cheaper

I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

During most of the year, this legendary, 24/7 pub is famous for its unique, memorabilia-filled atmosphere and historical ties to AC, the Monopoly game, prohibition, etc., attracting visitors who enjoy its authentic, home-style vibe.
