BEST BURGER I have ever eaten. Not your average ambience--it is better. Dine indoors or on the patio. Great service in both settings. Downtown near the baseball and the Whirligigs park.. read more

Came here on a weekend morning for brunch. My sister had a $12 coupon and we were interested in trying their breakfast menu. She's been here before but it was my first time. I've attached a photo of the menu; the offerings are okay -- not bad. I got the build-your-omelet with bacon, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. I asked for a side of sour cream, but got an excuse that they didn't have any because they apparently are "usually out of that by Sundays." To be fair, that isn't the server's fault but more of a reflection on the establishment overall. If you're gonna serve brunch, then you need to order your supplies and keep them stocked like you do that bar (which is extremely well stocked). The morning brunch service was a bit slow; and when my omelet came, it was ... what shall we say ... anemic? It was the smallest in size and flattest/skinniest omelet I think I've ever had anywhere. Let's put it this way: I was still hungry when we left. Orange juice was good; I wouldn't get the coffee again. When our server finally came to our table to check us out, she didn't know how to use the restaurant's own coupon to deduct it from our bill. My sister can save the coupon for later, but ... really? This joint is in a nice spot of downtown Wilson, within walking distance of the new baseball park and other restaurants and bars. It's one of several places that you could "bar hop" on a Friday or Saturday night with friends. That may be a different experience -- but R&R's brunch has some work to do. read more

Came here for a quick bite and food was good. Fast service and waiter and host very helpful. We enjoyed the food but maybe time of the day but not that many people there. Bar near Wilson baseball park family friendly. Seems like its more busy in the evenings. But overall great spot. Some local beers on tap. Will try them again when Im in town again and try a different time maybe the vibe is a bit different but overall good spot! Thanks guys! read more

Great restaurant in the heart of Wilson's revitalized downtown! This is my third visit and each visit is fantastic. The burgers are amazing and fries are off the charts.

A must visit if you are in Wilson! read more

Ruckus & Redemption - Fried Brussels Sprouts - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Wilson, North Carolina

Cool spot in Wilson, went for Brunch and ordered lunch! The Sunday brunch menu might be limited but the ambience and quality of the food more than makes up for it. We sat outside, enjoying the birds, sun and people who brought their dogs to eat with them. A beyond burger, was ordered, a regular burger and eggs/biscuits and such. All 3 of us enjoyed the meals, the vibe of the place and the service was exceptional. I would like to go back on a weekday, check it out again! Seemed well worth repeat patronage read more

This place is so terrible, honestly. This is the 4th time ive tried it. Each and every time the service is terrible, and the food is even worse. I got the jalapeno popper burger last night. Not a single slice of jalapeño on it!!! Just cream cheese on a burger, what the heck. 20+ bucks per plate is ridiculous when the quality is so poor. Over priced, and under delivered each and every time! I really wanted to enjoy this place because of the location, but they make it impossible to do so. Service is god awful every time ive been and very slow. We were sat for nearly 10-20 mins before we even got a hello, took for ever for even a soda! Soda was flat and tasted like mold. Garbage. If i could give a worse review I would. The fries were the best part and thats not saying much. Dont even waste your time or money at this place. The band was cool, they played a neat cover of "Godzilla" last night that was pretty fun. Im not sure what other places yall own or operate but this place with out a shadow of a doubt is the WORST establishment in downtown Wilson. read more

We arrived it wasn't busy as we got here at about 1 pm. The service started out okay but sorta fell short of acceptable from there on. We stayed we wanted to try two appetizers and split the Philly. When the food arrived the Philly hadn't been cut as we requested and when we requested a knife we were told we had one in our set-up. . The staff never stops to engage and so we had to stop them twice, once to ask for an extra plate for the sandwich we were brought a plate smaller than a butter plate. The baked beans were straight out of a can and had almost no meat in them at all. It was a cup size for $4. The sandwich was cooked and plated well but totally devoid of seasoning. . . Wouldn't have been an issue if there was salt and pepper on the table. The prepackaged mini corn dogs were the highlight of the meal. Would not recommend this place for food. If you wanted to drink for lunch; the bourbon and scotch collection are fairly impressive. . . The service people weren't rude but they have no training in customer service or communication. The ambience is cute as the old building has been effectively repurposed. read more

Ruckus & Redemption - Our order: the Philly Cheesesteak, the baked beans with belly, and the mini corn dogs. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Wilson, North Carolina

We are new in town and came here for lunch because they had a vegetarian option. Veggie options are a plus. The burger was good, but a vegetarian burger with fries was grossly overpriced at around $20, and we had to wait over an hour. Hipster vibe - I'm from Portland, OR, so I love that. Outdoor seating allows pups, so that's another plus. Folks were nice, place was clean, and you can choose indoor or outdoor seating. Value for your money Taste Ambience/vibe Wait time Veggie option read more

The drinks were great! Really refreshing. We loved the burgers! Really unique flavors read more

Terrible service. 30min to get waters. 45min to order. Drinks (lemonade, ginger ale) trickled out at 1 hr. Food came at 90min. Several folks had to leave before getting their food. And the staff added the 'large party' gratuity at $30 by default. Didn't even have time to debate that with the staff, who I struggled to track down. read more

Staff was so friendly and welcoming, even though we were the last customers of the evening. Food was delicious, cocktails and beer were awesome. Would definitely come back if we're traveling through the area again. read more

We decided to stop in for dinner around 6:20 tonight. We were seated immediately. The atmosphere is casual. They do have outdoor dining. We ordered the Classic veggie burger and the Build a Burger. Although the burgers were good my husband and I were both surprised to receive our orders wrong. The burgers come with a lot on them and my husband and I both ordered our burgers with cheese and one condiment. When we received our order both burgers were loaded. I scraped everything off mine but my husband's was sent back because even the cheese was wrong. Our server did a great job of going back to the chef and requesting a new burger my husband. I also ordered the Ginger-Lime Seltzer and that was delicious. We will most likely be back. read more

Food was great! So many chambers to choose from. Waiter was fast and hard working , for our table of twelve. Downtown Wilson is coming up

The loaded tots are AMAZING! Burgers are cooked well with interesting toppings. Brussel sprouts are tasty but the sauce is a little sweet. Fun spot to hear live music and enjoy a great craft cocktail. Then go walk around the whirligig park. Great service by the server but the kitchen can be a little slow. read more

This is probably the best burger I have ever eaten!!! Cool vibe and amazing drinks. A must try when you are in Wilson!!!

An Outstanding establishment. While visiting the area and starving we based our choice on Yelp reviews and stopped for dinner. Immediately we were greeted by the manager who welcome us. The restaurant is very large with an outdoor area that has several tables with umbrellas. The manager took the time to seated on the patio area which we requested at which time he presented & explained the menu, the specials and cocktails. The restaurant shares the space with Erie Brewing Company. Although cocktails are limited there was a number to choose. We started with pumpkin spice beers which were awesome, than delicious barbecue chicken wings but the hamburgers and fries were outstanding. Honestly, if we should return to Lake Erie we would make the drive for another order of burgers and fries. A must. read more

Ruckus & Redemption is located in Downtown Wilson. It was recommended to us at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Museum and just a short walk from the museum and park. Although there is a public parking lot next to the restaurant. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating at picnic tables. I liked the rustic decor of the bricks and open ceiling. I went with the build your own burger although I was tempted by the Signature Burgers.I went with swiss cheese and tomatoes for my toppings. The burger was really good. The seasoned fries were too seasoned for my taste so I wouldn't order those again. Service was very friendly and my tea was refilled when my glass was half full so very attentive. They offer a Sunday Brunch so I will be making a return trip for brunch! read more

Hipster barbecue. Too expensive for just average food. Service was very good, though.

Out of towners from Maryland visiting Wilson to watch daughter play college softball and found this place for dinner. This is a must go to if you like a great burger! Probably the best burgers we've had in years!!!! The Brussels sprouts were delicious and the salad portion feed 3 of us. Not a big menu but would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Service was great! Not a big restaurant and a little loud but didn't mind at all because the food was so good. read more

What a great find in down town Wilson. Not the easiest to find as it isn't a well marked entrance. It doesn't even have the name on the awning. But it is within walking distance from Casita Brewery. Lots of specialty cocktails kept the bartenders busy on this Saturday night. We sat at the bar. The wait for a table was too long for a burger. I had the Brantley chicken sandwich--such a great combination of flavors! Hubby got the smokehouse. Since we weren't on our first date, we were fine with how messy both our sandwiches were. I prefer tater tots over French fries any day. We will be back. Support the downtown establishments in Wilson--we want to see them thrive. read more

They accept crypto 5. Awesome staff 6. Great decor and open area seating. Almost like an old wooden train depot 7. The grilled cheese was pretty awesome. And they have tatir waffles. Enough said. read more

On two different occasions me and a family member experienced long wait time for food (so long I had to leave...) On other occasion once the food came out (nearly 45min!!) with there being no one hardly in the restaurant I'm curious as to why this is? read more

It wasn't bad but it wasn't necessarily good either. Got the classic burger and fries. Burger was bland, and the fry seasoning was sweet. Not my favorite. Partner got the Parmesan garlic chicken sandwich special, which was better! Also got the #hashtag cocktail which had a funky taste to it that I couldn't pinpoint... maybe just too many flavor combinations happening but something was off. All in all a fine place for a quick bite but probably not my first choice to return. read more

One of the most delicious burgers I have ever had in my life! Kids loved the burgers as well, and they are very picky eaters. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is nice and friendly, we felt right at home. Thank you! read more

Great spot for lunch. The chicken sandwich, the mini-corn dogs, the tots were all very good. But the baked beans wer-r-re GREAT!! You gotta try them ... and yes, they do have bacon in them. Even the sweet tea was just right ... Not too sweet but sweet enough. I can see this being a great spot in the summer since it's so close to the whirligig park. read more

Food took over an hour and a half to come out. Do not recommend if you're hungry. Food wasn't bad but and service was good, But we were told 30 minutes. read more

Excellent service and food. Bartender was attentive and the mimosas were delicious. Will definitely come back.
