Rips: Everything but a ‘Rip’ Off
![]()
Last Wednesday I found the most delicious little place right off of South Ocean Drive in Vero Beach. Upon exiting the restaurant, I had a full stomach and not even a dent in my pocket.
Rips Place for Ribs is quite delicious. For under $10, I got a large salad (ask for blue cheese crumbles on the side), large crispy rolls, two sides (the beans are to die for), and a 1/2 BBQ chicken. And let me tell you, the chicken was absolutely fantastic! Make sure to ask for the two homemade Rips BBQ sauces to eat with your chicken, because the sauces mixed together really amp the taste.
Another unexpected little treat, was the live band and $1 draft beers. Who can beat it?
Rips is located at 1517 South Ocean Drive in Vero Beach.









Tried your suggestion…went to Rip’s last night (only about a 15 minute drive from Sebastian). It was everything you said and more. It’s now on our hot list for graet, satisfying bar-b-que. Thanks.
Rip’s rules! Took your advise and mixed the sauces together. They rocked! So glad it was close to Sebastian since that’s where we were staying at the time. Can’t wait to go back again!
