Shout out to RipTide for an awesome event! We rented their dining room for a party and it was spectacular! Food and drinks were great, rate was reasonable and staff were amazing! If you are looking for a place to rent for a party or just a great place for dinner, I highly recommend!

Was visiting Plum Island Beach and stopped for dinner. They are open late but the kitchen closes earlier. Luckily we got there 20 min before the kitchen closed because we were starving. Food was excellent. Best on the island. Staff was very nice and helpful. Loved the live music too.

A close friend of mine and i went to plum island beach and were looking for a place to eat and had found this place online & when i tell you it was delicious, everything was amazing. We started off with some nachos which were so warm and crunchy and even after eating our entrees we still kept chipping away at the nachos. I got fried shrimp and truffle fries which also was 10/10, and to top it off our server was super sweet. If you’re looking for a place to eat after a beach day, this is where to go!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Zachary Goldwax · May 2024

I went with my entire family (10 people) and no one left unsatisfied. The only things better than the casual and relaxed atmosphere is the amazing food on the menu. We were able to try every part of the menu; the fried calamari, steak tips, fish and chips, rip burger, spicy chicken sandwich, and rhythm chopped salad. Everyone was passing plates around because no one could decide what the best dish was. A great spot for locals to come and have a night out and a must stop for tourists looking for a quick bite near the beach. Couldn’t recommend this place high enough, will definitely be coming back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Daniel Goguen · May 2025

We got the nachos and they were fantastic! The bean and corn mix that they call “rip caviar” was delicious and we could have just eaten it with a spoon. I got a double Rip Burger with bacon and was not disappointed! I’m usually a rare burger guy and smash burgers aren’t really my thing but this burger was worth it! The fries were thin, crispy and well seasoned! The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!
