    I see Faustine’s review from today. I was there at the same time and witnessed it all. She was upset and berated a server because the server told her she couldn’t change a baby’s diaper at the booth! There are changing stations in both restrooms in plain sight. There’s no excuse in the world to change a baby’s diaper at the table of a restaurant where other patrons are eating. Seriously?! Rudy’s is an amazing restaurant for families! Great food, fun sports atmosphere, super owners and staff. They just really don’t want patrons changing diapers at the table. And neither do the patrons. Check out Rudy’s. You won’t be disappointed!

    We heard great things about Rudy’s and it was all true! I enjoyed the Fried Halibut Po Boy! The fish was fried perfectly and the bread was just enough! My wife absolutely loved the Mediterranean Tuna. We ordered 2 Shrimp & Grits To-Go to enjoy the following evening! Can’t wait to get back here!

    I have been here a handful of times and have never ordered anything I didn't love. This trip, I ordered the veggie wrap, and it was fantastic. Rudy's never disappoints!

    Tough one last as we have been coming to Rudy's since they opened and enjoyed the food every.single.time! But the order-to-table time was a good 90 minutes. This was unfortunate as we had brought friends who had never been there. We'll be back but it seems unlikely that they will. The folks ahead of us left without eating. Seems like a lot of the backup was online orders. Maybe halt/pause online orders if in-person patrons are sitting that long. =================== Added May 2 in reply to the owner's comment about only posting a review after a bad experience. He is correct; that is unfortunately. It was a timing/app thing. I have sung the praises of Rudy's on Facebook quite a few times. Recently Maps has been more "aggressive" in poking me for reviews where used to be silent. I am sure that my future experiences at Rudy's will be terrific and I will be sure to mention that in this forum.

    Horrible place to take a family. Went to take my infant to change his diaper. There wasn’t a visible changing station. Had to end up changing him in the booth. Doing so rude red headed waitress comes loudly talking telling not to change my baby there. I told her they didn’t have one in their bathrooms. No one wants to change their baby in the booth of a restaurant!! She continues to tell me that they have them in both restrooms being rude and disrespectful towards me. I went back to her to tell her I did find after looking behind a things. That it really needs to be in a place where it’s a neutral location to be find easily. She is disrespectful and unprofessional person that just wants to point her finger down on a mother. Telling me she had kids. That’s she doesn’t own the bar. That this conversation is pointless that I know I was wrong. That shouldn’t have done it. Long story of the matter is she could have handled the situation differently. I work in sales and customer service. I would have nicely said ma’am we actually have changing tables in the rest rooms. Let me show. It’s really not hard to be a good person and actually do some critical thinking. Say hey maybe she didn’t see it. Let me show her. This situation is just disappointing because they do have good food. Service has never been anything to brag about. Everyone has always been straight faced there but whatever as long as they aren’t rude. This ginger headed middle aged Caucasian woman that is a waitress there needs to learn how to speak to people and use critical thinking skills. Edit 2/28 I wasn’t rude her at all. Tried to explain I couldn’t find it in the restroom when I went back there because it was behind stuff in the restroom. Owner replying saying they have kids day with balloons 🎈 worse place for kids I have seen. Groups of drunk men huddled by the restroom area blocking the way to the restrooms. As they people and gamble on the games they have in the corner. Really not family place which is fine because it’s pub. Can’t expect much from it.

    Really like this place. The food is excellent and the service is wonderful as well. Definitely worth the drive. I think it has the best pub food in the area. My one complaint is the smoking area next to the outdoor seating is brutal!!! Can’t sit enjoy a great meal with smoke constantly in my face.

    Stopped by for Sunday brunch chicken and waffles. The service was excellent, the food was very good. If you're looking for an independent restaurant off the beaten path, you should come to Rudy's. Update: Since the owner asked, I gave 4/5 stars based on great but not excellent value and flavor.

    Loved this place and wish I lived closer! Their pretzel bites were to die for, and this rudy’s club sandwich (pictured) was phenomenal. Great pint of beer as well. Thanks guys

    Today, I attended my coworker/friend's lil pretty princess 1st birthday brunch here at this wonderful establishment! The people are professional and friendly. The ambiance was comfortable and lively! It was a buffet style and bottomless mimosas brunch. I, being the greedy girl foodie had to to try the meal I researched before attending the party. Ladies and Gents, without further ado, meet, The Classic Breakfast sandwich! It was so hearty and delicious! I couldn't finish it. So I took the other half home. I just got TKO'd by a sandwich! Absolutely, ahh-mazing food!! Yes, there was cake!

    Update - Now we are regulars at Ruedi's. One favorite dish was the Mediterranean tuna, but it was recently replaced with the Caribbean tuna, which the menu describes as "Ahi yellowfin tuna with citrus cilantro glaze over seasonable vegetables with sweet pepper slaw." I tried it, and it was even better than I expected. To get the tuna flavor to come out, the only way to order it is rare. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to find a way to keep the tuna from losing some of its moisture. The Mediterranean tuna was much more moist than the Caribbean tuna. But, I will gladly enjoy the Caribbean tuna on future visits. Original - On our first visit last week, Rudy's staff gave us a good experience. The food was fresh and well prepared. I had a burger, and rate it very high for a restaurant burger. The staff were laid back but attentive. We will be back.

    I came to Rudy’s last night with my 7 year old son and we both had an amazing time! I don’t normally leave reviews but had to for This establishment. The fish tacos were unbelievably good. I’ve gotten them before but this time they were even better. The magician is an AMAZING part of the restaurant as he had me and my boy laughing hysterically. AmaIng experience. Truly. Thank you to all the staff, you guys are great.

    One of our brunch places here. Hardly no wait and the food is excellent. Had the huevos rancheros and the other half had the Belgian waffle. Next one to try will be the grilled shrimp and grits.

    We were greeted warmly as soon as we entered. There was great variety on the menu. Ample portions arrived quickly. The staff were attentive and helpful. We will definitely go back when we're in the area. If you live close, give Rudy's Pub & Grill a try. Your tummy and wallet will be pleased.

    Went when they opened years ago and was not impressed. Gave them another try last year and found they were much better than our other haunts. Usual pub fare but much better quality. Plenty of burgers, salads, sandwiches, and apps. Great wings. Good draft beer selection that varies a bit. Great onion rings of the onion string variety. Multiple French fry options (skinny, fat curly, tots). Great service. Keep going back.

  • 4/5 Kimberly P. 7 months ago on Google
    Overall good experience. Better than expected menu options for a pub. We used to come here many years ago, but after a management or owner change (can't remember) the quality declined and we stopped dining here. Tried Rudy's again last weekend and were pleasantly surprised. The menu offered something for everyone in our high school to middle age party of 7. I had the seared tuna salad, excellent but I'd get the dressing on the side next time as it was a little drenched, but good flavors. Burgers satisfied the teens. Cheese and bacon fries actually used real cheese (instead of cheese sauce), that was a bonus. The nacho cheese sauce was just meh and the chips were heavy. Good beer selection. We'll definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Dark V. 11 months ago on Google
    Food is excellent. First time here an I will have to say this might be my new place to come. I don't say that to a lot of places! I'm not picky but hard to please! overall though this is now the place to come, my time in the 15 years of restaurant experience of chef work. Front house an back of house these guys are the place to Go. Good vibes food. Service.

  • 5/5 Shelbe H. 4 years ago on Google
    Wings, wings, wings! My favorite reason to come to Rudy’s is their crispy flavorful wings, however, all of their food has been phenomenal! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, I would recommend giving them a try any day of the week. There is always a special going on and Tuesdays are $0.55 wings!!

  • 5/5 Christina H. 5 months ago on Google
    This is 5-star bar food. I will be returning for the pretzel bites. I ate a chicken sandwich that wasn't dry at all, which is an accomplishment. There are lots of sandwiches and burgers and even a hot dog on the kids menu, along with a handful of entrees. My companion ordered a pasta dish that came with a salad. Food was in the $10-$15 range. Beer looked good, though I didn't sample any. This is a good, friendly, neighborhood place and worth a visit if you're in the mood for beer or bar food or both.

  • 5/5 Patrick S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great burger and friendly staff. Plenty of TVs for Sunday football. Definitely a solid spot. Bonus points for the unique names they give every game 😂😂

  • 5/5 Peter V. 7 months ago on Google
    My wife and I were trying to quickly google a tavern/pub to eat at on the way home from work, and came across this highly rated place. We'd never been so just stopped in on a whim. The bartender and server greeted us enthusiastically and the staff was all working well together. We ordered the fried pickles which were extremely good, and then the meal of burgers was also great. The bartender and staff worked well to keep the drinks coming. The overall atmosphere was very low key and casual, everyone there was in good spirits. This is on the list of places to visit again.

  • 5/5 Chris U. 8 months ago on Google
    I wish I had stopped in sooner to this neighborhood pub. What an excellent place. The food is really good and fresh, I was actually surprised in regards to the quality. I usually am indifferent about local pub fare (heavy, cheap, etc)... not here. There are plenty of healthier options as well as your standard comfort food. This has instantly become one of my favorite local spots in the area. Also - has a great beer selection and is an awesome spot to catch a game.

  • 4/5 Zach P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very delicious. New to the area and were looking for just a good bar burger place and this hit the spot perfectly. Fries are *amazing* and my burger was too (got the Hurricane burger - definitely recommend). And the price was very affordable - especially in a pandemic when everyone is raising their prices! We've only eaten take-out because of afore-mentioned-pandemic (and speaking of, if masks are your thing - there wasn't anybody wearing them, but there is a small outdoor seating space) so I can't speak to the inside as much. But it nice and clean and the hostess was nice when I went to pickup! Sorry no pics of the food, I ate it too fast haha. Will definitely be going back!

    Stopped in for dinner with the family., Inside was cozy. It isn't the biggest place on the inside but we went on a Friday night during dinner and we were seated pretty quickly. The staff was very friendly. My wife and I each had a drink from the bar and the selection of taps was very nice, plenty of styles and types. The food was excellent and very fair priced. My wife had the French Dip (Rudy Dip) and we both agreed it was excellent. I had the fish and chips and the serving size was more than generous and was cooked just right. The kids meals are a great deal also, The entree with a side, a drink and ice cream with it for I believe 6.50 was perfect. We are very happy with our experience here and will definitely be back. Update: there are a few new items on the menu... the smoked pulled pork sandwich!!!! Excellent. We continue to be very happy going here.!

  • 5/5 Nick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and an awesome bartender. Probably one of the most memorable bartenders I’ve ever had. I had a classic bacon cheeseburger with fries. I have never seen fries cut like that, but they were very good. Place was pretty empty around 530, but after 630 or so it was pretty packed. I didn’t stay for poker, but a lot of other people were. I bet karaoke on Saturday nights is a blast there, based on the crowd and energy. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of is that the beer glasses and mugs aren’t chilled, so the beer warms up pretty fast. Although I don’t live nearby, I’ll definitely return when I’m in the area.

    Food was excellent and great atmosphere. Brought my Dad and two younger boys and they enjoyed it. The service was great too best in a while waitress' name was Maddy I believe but the place overall is great. Will definitely stop again in the near future.

  • 5/5 Billy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Too many great things to list. Whether it's wings for lunch, burgers for dinner or Sunday brunch, Rudy's does not disappoint. Excellent restaurant that treats all patrons like family. Food is always high quality, service is great and staff is very friendly. Rob & Amy have encouraged all staff to go out of their way to provide a top-class experience for everyone who walks in the door. Can't recommend them more, truly a diamond in the rough.

  • 4/5 Nahomy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was excellent but they did give order to someone else when ordering online . Waited a while . The drinks tasted so disgusting , lemonade and sweet tea.

  • 3/5 Sophia A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a cool place for Saturday night Karaoke. I ordered the Buffalo Wings. They were good. They weren't the best. The drinks are made nicely. They were either short staffed or the workers weren't working. There was only one bartender and she seemed over worked. I did see other servers but no one ever came to our table and seved us. So, I had to go to the bar every time I wanted to order something. But it is a cool place with cool people, and cool vibes.

  • 5/5 Ben R. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for lunch 9-13. What a fantastic spot. Great decor, amazing service and the food was fresh and delicious. Whiskey and Bourbon selection was full and a wide list if local beers.

  • 5/5 Vickie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome, service, food and price! This Asian Tuna Salad was delicious and only $13

  • 5/5 CJ S. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't miss out.... this place is fabulous!! Their all day Saturday & Sunday brunch is hard to beat! The best breakfast sausage I've ever had. We'll definitely be back soon!

  • 5/5 Chris D. 2 years ago on Google
    Rudy's has always been a notch above in terms of their wing sauces. They are able to skillfully combine heat and flavor without sacrificing either. This allows for a slow buildup burn with a ton of flavor. Having a dairy allergy makes it hard to find a hot sauce without butter, but Rudy's was able to make a hot sauce that I can safely eat! The kids always enjoy getting the sliders and make quick work of them! The staff has always been very friendly and helpful when we go in.

  • 5/5 Ashley S. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a great restaurant. Despite being packed our server was very attentive at taking orders, bringing drinks, and giving refills. There were so many great food options it was so hard for me to decide what to get (the slider trio and Cuban both looked equally appealing) and I loved that they have all day breakfast. I took a chance and went with the Huevos Rancheros despite it not being a Mexican restaurant. It came out as an "assemble it yourself" meal with three tortillas, two eggs, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and a huge bowl of black beans, cheese, and sauce. It was REALLY good! I could have just eaten the beans alone with a spoon they were so tasty. I got coffee with my meal and they gave me a super cute cat mug that was HUGE so I didn't need to worry about getting a refill every 10 minutes. My daughter ordered pancakes with sausage and the waitress made the suggestion to add chocolate chips and my daughter was beyond thrilled and excited for that. She ate every bite of her meal . My husband got a plain cheeseburger that he said was good. Overall food was excellent, our server was excellent, the price was excellent. I would definitely come back here again.

    Lovely brunch outside with the family! Was able to get a table with no wait, service was great and food was yummy!
