Then there's my friend's stuffed baked potato which was incredible. I bet I ate half. The burgers are a solid choice, too. I settled on a cheeseburger and rings. All great...especially for a lounge. While I've never really seen food come out in partials quite like they do, maybe they were busy and/or understaffed. At first, only one of our entrees came out, it was then five minutes before two more were served. Finally, after ten minutes all five had arrived. Ten minutes seems like an eternity to wait when you're looking at your buddy carving up his dinner. Other than that, there's outdoor seating. Shade. Hootch. And a wonderful wait staff! Can't ask for too much more. We'll try them again, should we ever be back in these parts. 06/21

The ice cream is outstanding. I highly recommend Nana's Banana Pudding ice cream. The Bourbon Trail ice cream was also very good. The Chicken Hoagie was tasty and the House Fries were great. The prices were fair and the counter service was fine. The only reason I did not give this a five-star rating is that it took more than half-an-hour to get our food to us after we ordered. With a hangry 3-year-old, that was a bit annoying. It was clear why this was the case as they were churning out to-go orders like crazy. We were so far back in the queue because there were so many on-line orders ahead of us. They're busier than they appear from the foot traffic. We finally had to order our ice cream (which came up quickly) to give our granddaughter something to eat because the sandwich and fries were taking so long to get to us. I am not sure what to suggest to them to rectify this, but I'm not inclined to go back on a busy weekend night unless I order ahead.

The food is amazing, while it's simple it is a smoothing and filling meal. The service is excellent, and the environment is just calming.

The burger was tall and good. Meaty, cooked to medium, and with fresh crispy lettuce, nice tomato and plenty of pickles. Ambiance was average, but clean and fine. Not enough windows, but it's a lounge. Plenty of TV screens, and a 10-15 seat bar in addition to the tables. Honestly, if I were in the area again I'd probably check Yelp for a different place to try out, but definitely nothing wrong with this place. Give them a try and tell ne what you think!

I have so many memories from being a kid, to dates with my husband and now looking forward to the first visit when back in town. We both got 2 coney dogs and root beer. I had the onion rings while the hubs had fries. One thing I love about Rudy's is they do not skimp on the coney sauce and I have no shame in saying that I could just eat it with a fork. lol Their root beer is perfectly creamy and has just the right amount of "bite". I can neither confirm nor deny that we returned later in the day to get a Boston cooler (Vernor's float) and a cream beer. If you are a local or visiting the area, you must check them out. They only accept cash but have an ATM on site. Service is by car hop and they have picnic tables that you can dine at if you don't want to eat in your car.
