WORTH THE WAIT
RIP’S TAVERN
Since 1936
WELCOME TO RIP’S
SINCE 1936
Rip’s Tavern has been a staple in the Illinois Valley for almost 90 years! Established in 1936 by Sylvio “Rip” Gualandri and his wife Emma, Rip’s is known far and wide for its famous fried chicken served on a paper plate, and the long lines people wait in to eat it! We’re glad you’re here to see why, after all these years, we’re still worth the wait! Enjoy!
