Rippers

We picked Finn up from school at 12.30pm and then we went out for lunch at Rutt's Hut, a nondescript restaurant in Clifton. I just found out about it in one of Travel Channel's Top Hot Dog places special and Rutt's is one of them because of their deep fried hot dogs, lovingly nicknamed rippers. Why? Because they literally rip open when deep fried (^_^)
Jojo and I ordered 2 hotdogs each topped with their special Rutt's relish (said to be the best too), fries with gravy and buffalo wings that came with fries as well plus 2 medium sodas. Finn had a plain hotdog with plain fries and a soda. It was good but you gotta have at least 2 hot dogs, one isn't enough (^_^) The wings are good too, a bit crunchy unlike most wings that have soft skin.
The place is small and only has 2 counters in the middle and a long one along the window with a children's counter below it. If you want to sit down, there's a bar next door where you can bring your food in but for the real thing, I think it's better to eat on the counters. (The picture of the counters I got online - didn't want to take a picture of it with all the people there)
There were a lot of patrons from all walks of life, young (being Finn) and old, teenagers, men and women in suits, security guys, everybody! The place may not look it but I guess it really is popular. We left after 1pm and there were still people waiting in line.
The price isn't bad either, only $1.80 per hotdog. The wings were over $4 and the fries at over $3. Definitely a place to visit again.
