What our guests are saying
Excellent food! We live 2 hours away and are already planning a trip back. Everything was hot and fresh. The best flavours. Can't wait to try more menu options! Easily the best hot dog I've ever had.

What a gem. You need to stop by and give them a try. Well worth the experience - visual, taste, and environment. Loved the food, loved the staff, and loved the atmosphere. A grand food experience.

Best food on the Island. Incredibly passionate group of people. I’ve gone in a handful of times and they treat you like family. They have ice cream now and it’s perfect, especially if you pair it with one of their pies. Whatever you order, you can not go wrong. They also have the best cathead biscuits and you don’t have to wait in line for an hour to get one.

How Ripper'z became St. Simons Island's spot
Ripper'z started with a simple idea: take something familiar, make it better, and serve it fast.
At Ripper'z, we fry all of our food in 100% beef tallow—never seed oils. We believe great food starts with quality ingredients and simple cooking done right.
Our goal is to create bold, flavorful meals using fresh, straightforward ingredients that let the food speak for itself.
Right here on St. Simons Island, that simple philosophy has turned into something our community loves. Whether you're stopping by for one of our signature hot dogs, burgers, breakfast, we're committed to serving food that's made with care, packed with flavor, and always worth coming back for.
Crafted from Scratch. Comfort Done Right.
At Ripper'z, about 90% of the menu is made from scratch using fresh ingredients, delivering authentic Southern comfort food with every bite. From juicy, fresh smash burgers to breakfast served daily starting at 9:00 AM, there's something to satisfy every craving. Best known for its signature deep-fried "Ripper" hot dogs—premium hot dogs fried until the casing splits open and turns perfectly crispy—Ripper'z has become a favorite comfort food destination on St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Dirty dogs, done different
We fry our dogs In Beef Tallow— never boil. Pile them with bold toppings and serve them fast. That's why local press called it a game-changer.
