Rip's chicken is the best. Period. by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 6/4/2011
Not sure what "Alomino's" issue is, I mean really??? The 2nd worst restaurant he's ever been to? Given all the positive reviews of this restaurant on this, and other sites, I'd say this guy is full of it. I've been to many different…
Best Chicken In Illinois by Skyview R via Insider Pages on 2/6/2009
Ripp's has the best deep fried chicken ever. We love to come back and visit and go to Ripp's. You have to stand in line sometimes for an hour, but it is well worth the wait.
Midwest Diner by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 1/25/2009
Ripp's isn't greasy as claimed. It is a moist delicious bird. Also, if you aren't happy, try Lanuti's across the street. Lanuti's is famous for authentic atmosphere, family style chicken, and the best turtle anywhere. As the menu says,…
Chicken by cami b via Insider Pages on 1/7/2009
For the best greasiest fried chicken Rips is the place. It is well worth the wait in line for it. Their drinks are also good and very reasonably priced.
Good food, long wait by Rachel P via Insider Pages on 1/7/2009
The chicken here is good and it is a very popular place to be. You will wait in line for about an hour at least and you get to enjoy reasonable priced beer while you wait. I would recommend this tavern to a group of people who are out…
Great Tavern Fried Chicken by Lyndsey T via Insider Pages on 1/6/2009
This is some of the best Tavern fried chicken around. Be prepared for lines to get a taste of this good stuff. Also be prepared you will be served with paper plates and no silverware, make sure you munch on the pickles and crunchies they…
The best Chicken anywhere by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 11/2/2008
We have been going to Rips for four generations now. Anyone who says they don't like it must have been having a bad day. People come from all over to eat there. It's true you eat on paper plates and get picklesw and crispies. They are…
Best darn chicken EVER by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 10/14/2008
This is the BEST chicken ever. Yes the lines are long, but if you call ahead you can do a carry out order. The crispy's and pickles are so good together. I have been going to Ripps for the last 41 years (yep since I was a baby) We even…

Chicagoland Chickenaholic by Bill D. via Judy's Book on 8/22/2007
Recently, I drove 92 miles from northwest Illinois to Ripps Tavern using my trustworthy navagator on my cell phone. My reason for driving this distance was to enjoy the best fried chicken I have ever experienced in the midwest. I have…
Best Fried Chicken Ever by Brittney M. via Judy's Book on 3/16/2006
Rips is known all around for the fabulous family secret for their deep fried chicken. They serve light and dark chicken in 1/4's only, if you want a 1/2 chicken you have to order two 1/4's. Fish is served on Friday nights only, but I…
The 2nd worst "restaurant" I've ever been to by Alomina F. via Judy's Book on 8/23/2005
Rip's is rather wll known for its Friday night fish fry. For some bizarre reason, people from far off pack up and actually drive TO this dump. We figured with this many people, the food had to be great, so we waited in line and tried it…
