RipTide Restaurant & Bar Reviews
Unfortunately the owner, Andrew, is a known white supremacist sympathizer and interacts with open antisemites such as Mikey Pacapelli. If Jews aren’t welcome at the restaurant then nobody is.

RipTide Restaurant & Bar offers great food and service in a bright and sunny atmosphere with a nice view of the water. The menu is well-known, featuring dishes like Brussels, fries, and grouper. Popular items include lemon pepper grouper and lobster roll, with the lobster bisque being a highlight. Customers have praised the lobster rolls, both hot and cold, for being loaded with meat. The restaurant also provides a casual space for seafood with friendly service, making it a favorite for many visitors. The view from the covered patio of Oyster River Beach adds to the overall experience, allowing guests to enjoy a scenic glimpse of the Sound. The waitstaff can be a bit chaotic during peak hours, but service, especially from the owner, is often described as friendly and amazing. Parking can be tricky, but the restaurant is conveniently located in a shopping plaza. Dishes like the fried oysters, served with French fries and coleslaw, are well-liked, though some find the fries a bit disappointing due to being overly crispy and oily. Overall, RipTide is a fantastic spot for a meal, with many customers looking forward to returning for its great food, friendly staff, and lovely views.
