Take a hot dog. Stick it a deep fryer and cook it until the skin rips open. Serve hot. Watch your customer smile. That's Rutt's hut in a nutshell.
We visited Rutt's on a rainy Saturday afternoon and the parking lot was full and people were belly-up to the bar at the standing / no chairs allowed tables. Two dogs, fries and a Pepsi sets you back $7 and change and serves as tasty meal.
The dogs have "snap" to the tooth skins on a decent roll. The fries were ordinary and could be skipped (I will next time).
The ambiance is non-existent. They have parking and a view of the Passaic river - no bodies were seen floating by that day (just kidding).
Good place - a classic road house.
