Trying RUTT'S HUT "America's Best Hot Dog!" Worth The Hype?

Nice to see that you don’t always have to go to fancy places. Support your local independent restaurants. It’s good for the country.

My mother graduated Clifton high school in 1946 and was married to my father in 1948 and the first place they had their date was Rutts Hut… Me personally my favorite hotdog is Hank franks on Route 46 E. I used to work at HONEYWELL and Teterboro for many years and I would stop there a couple of times a week before I went to work or after I was leaving work… I also met Jason Biggs there the star of all the American pie movies at Hanks Frank’s❤

OMG - My dad used to take me to Rutt’s Hut when I was a kid! I would only eat the hot dog, not the bun, because it was too much for me. Great memories.

UA. I've noticed that you keep on complaining about a lack of sa!t. Is it possible that you have a high tolerance for salt. I am the opposite. I prefer lower salted foods. Thank you.

Fun fact: The relish is made from cabbag and carrots. No pickles involved! Ballistic BBQ did a really great video on the recipe for the relish using the original owner's recipe for it from the 50s. I want to make it, but I'm super jealous you are getting it from the source!!

Great review on this place UA, but your puns are the "wurst", lol

Love the honesty. Keep it real, because that’s what makes your channel unique!

I grew up all over being a Military brat , born in the Midwest . We always put beans in the chili , I think originally it started as a filler to make the chili go farther when you had less meat or a lesser quality meat . I did live in Texas a couple years and enjoy the red chili as well , but there the beef is more abundant and a bit less expensive . I like a good slaw dog and chili dog . Never been a fan of vinegar or anything pickled so I never use or eat relish , just a personal preference . Enjoy the channel since I came across it a few weeks ago

I grew up in New Jersey and my grandparents lived about five minutes from Rutts. I've been there 100's of times and it is the best. If you eat outside by the river, look out for the seagulls who will aggressively come after your ripper. They'll also require you to visit the car wash too!😆

Keep it up UA! You have the best reviews on many places

You should have ate on other side sit down service. 3 rippers cheese fries and cup of chili. Use it as topping w relish & mustard

Rutts hut hot dogs are legendary. I haven't had every hot dog in the country so I cant call them the best. But since I ate my first one 58 yrs ago, I never felt the need to try and top them. In fact, the best texas weiner was right across the street at Bertlins. They closed maybe 50 yrs ago. I now live 3 hrs away at the shore, but I still make that relish at home. It used to be better, in fact. But it is still amazing. It was once called German Cabbage relish. Its mostly cabbage. And the secret ingredient is Turmeric. Mustard seed too. Keep the reviews coming. Its nice to see you review places I've been too. I especially liked the Borgata Buffet review! And thanks for not wearing an Eagles hat during this review! Joe D

They have new menu boards, I was there a few weeks ago and they still had the old boards. Great review! I have been going to this for many years!

I like the chill at RUTT'S HUT

For a rivaling hot dog, I highly recommend trying Texas Weiner 1 in Plainfield NJ that's been in business since 1924 or J & G Texas Weiners in Dunellen NJ since 1977. Their hotdogs don't have the ripper effect, but they are griddled to perfection that results in a wicked snap crunch on every bite. Ask for the Texas Weiner hotdog traditional and careful not to try other Hotdog places called Texas Weiners. These two locations keep the Texas Weiner style traditional and authentic: the hot dog is foot long, chili is unbelievably good, and hot dog is griddled for hours NEVER FRIED!!! Awesome vlog channel, Dude!

UA Ate there last month...love to go in the other sit-down side..its so cool and old school. We had Rippers and cheese with chili and fries and a beer...it's definitely an awesome place.

Nice review UA. Bun looked wicked dry. Thank you!

Gotta try them, thank for posting, Idk but when u fry a dog it brings out so much flavor..

Love the deep fried hot dogs. I need to make the road trip, thanks for the post my dude!

As a Mamaroneck kid, I agree -- Walter's makes much better hot dogs with better ingredients (their own blend of pork, veal and beef not ground too fine) and a much better cooking method (split and cooked on a flat top on melted butter so the outsides brown perfectly), all on better buns also perfectly browned on the flat top.
