What People Say

Most Liked

People rave about RipTides' incredible selection of cocktails. Patrons frequently praise the signature frozen drinks, particularly the Frozen Miami Vice and Pina Colada, perfect for a hot summer day. The buffalo wings are hailed as some of the best on Long Island, crispy and bursting with flavor, which many diners insist are a must-try. The staff receives accolades for their quick service and friendly demeanor, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone from families to solo diners. Live music enhances the overall experience, offering an entertaining backdrop while you enjoy your meal. Plus, the place is always clean and well-kept, which adds to its charm. Overall, customers leave feeling delighted and keen to return.

Most Disliked

Not every aspect of RipTides is universally loved. Some guests have voiced disappointment with certain items, like the calamari, which wasn’t up to par for a few patrons. Comments describe them as rubbery and lacking flavor, which contrasts with the otherwise high-quality offerings. While the restaurant is generally praised for its atmosphere, the occasional crowd can lead to a delayed seating experience during peak times. Some diners mentioned that noise levels can become overwhelming during live music events, making conversation challenging. However, these critiques are often outweighed by the satisfying aspects of the dining experience.

For those seeking a quiet night out or unwinding with friends, visiting during off-peak hours could provide a more tranquil experience.

​If you're looking for the perfect local spot with amazing food and a fantastic atmosphere in Lindenhurst, look no further than Riptide! This place is a true gem and deserves all five stars. ​The moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel right at home. The vibe is always lively and inviting, making it an ideal place to hang out with friends. We especially love the dedicated area—it has a great pool setup, perfect for sinking a few shots and spending hours relaxing. ​Beyond the atmosphere, the kitchen absolutely delivers. They have good food across the board, but seriously, the wings are absolutely awesome—crispy, perfectly sauced, and probably the best I've had on Long Island. ​Whether you're stopping by for a drink, a game of pool, or a dinner that hits the spot, Riptide is consistently excellent. Highly recommend checking them out!

The place is very cool. Food is great.... The calamari definitely needs some help though, unless you like fried rubber bands... other than that, everything is very cool here. Decent people, clean bar, pool table. oh yeah and BEER! LOL

Stopped in with a friend this past Wednesday to grab dinner and was pleasantly surprised! Beautifully decorated with a cheerful nautical theme, a friendly bartender served delicious, freshly made clam chowder loaded with tender clams, perfectly cooked Buffalo chicken wings and tasty baked clams. Good local beers on tap and a talented karaoke showman was getting everyone up to sing and dance - what a hidden gem! Can’t wait to go back and sing Christmas carols with the whole place and for the chowder, it was so good that I can’t stop thinking about it. Definitely check this place out.

The staff is something you’ll never forget. Prices are good. Portions are more than you can handle. Delicious food and well made drinks. But the service and atmosphere is really what makes this place stand out. In a world where you can get good food in multiple places, the only thing you can’t replace is good employees. 10/10

I didn't know what to expect when I went here for the first time, but I ended up staying until it closed, and not just because the bartenders are very friendly, the food delicious, the drinks great, and the atmosphere just straight up fun & entertaining, but the band "Gotta Wanna" (Rock & Roll) were Fantastic! I walked in and immediately felt everyone zoned in, swaying to the amazing cover sounds of Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix, Elton, Eagles, Van Morrison, etc. They were absolutely fantastic! I hope they will be back to add to all you will find at RipTides, a bar that positively gives you all you could ask for at a cost that is lower than you'll find at other bars/grills! 🎶❤️👍🏻

Once again we enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner and drinks at Riptydz. We were lucky enough to get our favorite server Corinne. She is a very pleasant and attentive server and very knowledgeable about your menu. She suggested several items and great drinks to make our evening special and delicious. Upon our next visit, I hope we have her serve us again. She’s a 5 star employee!
