Reviews - Riptidez
Reviews summary
Riptidez impresses with its vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff, making it an inviting choice for diners. The menu features highlights like exceptional bacon cheese fries and flounder sandwiches; however, some dishes, such as the burgers and wings, have faced criticism for inconsistencies in preparation. While the service can be hit or miss—especially with female patrons—many appreciate the attentive staff and cozy ambiance. Perfect for casual outings and drinks, Riptidez remains a staple for local favorites. Though it has room for improvement, particularly in food quality and service attentiveness, its potential keeps patrons coming back.

What Gardens First dislikes about Riptidez:
This restaurant review is criticizing the quality of the food at El's Drive-In, specifically the Riptide Burger and fries. The reviewer mentions that the burger was overcooked and dry, the chili was flat and almost burnt, and the fries were also not up to standard. They left the restaurant feeling dissatisfied, and even stated that they could have gotten better food at Wendy's. The reviewer suggests that the restaura... View all feedback.

I highly recommend this place! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all fantastic!
We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! As visitors from out of town, we felt incredibly welcomed by everyone there. Bartender Paige went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of on both Saturday and Sunday nights. On Sunday, after our day of racing, she even greeted us with a lovely sign for our racing team. The number 9 Ayden Millette racing team will definitely be returning!

Very laid back atmosphere with great burger and fries. The chicken tenders my kids got were a little dry but everything very fresh and cooked when ordered. Just wish the jalapeño poppers weren't 6.75 for 5!!! other than that, we will be back to eat there!
The food at this restaurant was amazing! I ordered the honey mild boneless wings with fries and a delicious tequila sunrise. When I arrived with my service dog in training, I was greeted outside and the server was very friendly and accommodating. They even brought water for my dog. The outdoor vibes were great with clear weather after a storm. The prices were fair, the service was excellent, and the drinks were fantastic. If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.
Went for my first time... was really looking forward to a cheeseburger. We went in and it smelled so good! However, the music (at 6:00) was so loud the 4 of us literally couldn't hear each other at our table. Debated on what to do and decided it was just too intolerable! Nobody acknowledged us or asked why we were leaving. Just saw others saying the same thing on local facebook group about last night. Too bad... but just a bit much... tried, but took our money (and cheeseburger craving selves) elsewhere. If I wanted front row seats at a concert I'd go to a concert... wayyyy too much decibels for supper out with friends. Inside.
"The Best Cheeseburger! Sometimes a girl just needs a burger and fries, and when you do, go to Riptidez!"

Loved the local dive bar vibe. A pool table, but you couldn?t get a turn. Bartenders were awesome gals, but were constantly getting sexualized by the creepy old DJ that was playing. So gross. He spun good songs, but seemed to think it was funny toharass the bartenders between songs. Food was pretty gross too. Everything is from the freezer, chicken wings were awful. Iwould go back for the awesome bartenders- but nothing else.
The best burgers in the area (IMO). I have not dined in, we always get it to go so I cannot review that. Parking isn't great and the entrance is not really marked and could use a little maintenance but the food is excellent so it makes up for it.
The food at this restaurant is outstanding, but we've observed that there are different staff members each time we visit. Unfortunately, the quality of service has declined from excellent to just okay. We used to go 2 to 3 times a week, but now we are considering finding a new dining spot.
This cozy dive bar is a hidden treasure, offering tasty food, welcoming bartenders, and a warm community vibe. It has quickly become our favorite place to hang out.

Great food and service but it was COLD inside! They did finally turn the heater on and then it was all good!
Incredible flounder! I had lunch this afternoon and ordered the flounder sandwich. It was a huge piece of fish, cooked to perfection! There was so much on the bun that it was hard to fit everything. I got the slaw and fries with my sandwich, but my friend had enough room for his! They may not come as often as I'd like, but I plan to return. I brought one home for my wife since she couldn't join me. You can't beat the price, and the service was outstanding. My friends had tacos and a meatball sub, and both were excellent. Definitely go!
We absolutely love this restaurant. The staff is wonderful, consistently delivering excellent service and playing great music.
This restaurant is amazing. It has a relaxed atmosphere, with friendly people, cold beer, and delicious food. I met my husband there after he had been fishing all day, and before we knew it, we were chatting with everyone at the bar. There is a large group of regulars who are super friendly.
