The fries were crispy like McDonald's and tasted better than the burger itself. The patty was very charred and so thin. When I hold it I can feel through the bun that some area didn't even have the patty. Had high expectations because I've heard good things about this place but I don't see the hype at all. Very disappointed and do not recommend. Service was average. Not friendly but not rude. Ambiance is very casual but definitely not recommended.

With minimal seating inside this is more so a to go spot but as I've passed by it so many times I finally stopped by to pick up an order. Ordered ahead and it was ready just as I arrived which was great. Place is a bit awkward to get out of based on an odd location, but it really is hard to miss . The burger itself underwhelmed for me. Although the crisp on the edges of the patty was great, my 'Rudy' burger seemed small and the bun, although in proportion, seemed lack luster. I picked up on a promo so ended up with 2 burgers for $10, which was a great deal, but paying $10, the regular price for this, seems high. Cheese was meh, probably better without. Tomatoes nice an juicy but the lettuce was meager and super wilted. Probably pass next time around unless I hear changes have been put in place. Staff was super friendly.. I really wanted to love this place, but can't fully this time.

RUDY is a small burger joint, with 3 selections of smash burgers, and a fried chicken sandwich. I decided to check this place out since it was conveniently located across the street from the Ikea in Etobicoke, and I didn't want to eat Ikea food after my shopping trip. I ordered a Rudy combo, which is a single patty burger with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. I added bacon just for sake of it, but regretted it afterwards because it was burnt and a little too salty for me. However, the burger itself is was quite good and very satisfying. The beef patty had crispy edges, but was overall soft and juicy. The bun was soft, making the burger easy to bite into without falling apart and making a mess. I'm not sure what sauce they used but it complimented the burger quite well, and all the flavours blended together nicely with each bite (after I picked out the bacon). The thin cut fries were also delicious. They were crispy, and not too salty or oily. The service here is like any other fast food restaurant. You order at the counter and then wait for your food, before taking it to your seat or to go. The cashier was nice, and the wait time was acceptable. The restaurant itself is pretty small, though they have plenty of free parking space. Inside has four tall tables by the window for seating, and outside are another four picnic tables for warmer days.

If you're craving burgers, RUDY is a classic spot to go to with multiple locations in Toronto. The service is really quick and the food is always delicious quality. I got the classic Rudy cheeseburger and another with bacon as additional topping. The toppings were fresh and the meat was juicy. The only downside is that it's a bit expensive (around $9) for what you get since it's a small portion. Overall, I would recommend giving this spot a try if you happen to be in the area! I definitely would come back again.

These smash burgers were amazing. I definitely enjoyed every single bite I took. I took my time eating it. I got the Rude Dude and I was definitely not disappointed. I had the poutine fries as well. Those were tasty. Service was good. Friendly and helpful. The guided me on what to try. Menu is not long. Simple menu. I would definitely come and eat here again. Outdoor and indoor seating is available.

Rudy is located at the northwest corner of Vansco and the Queensway across the street from the not easy to miss Ikea Etobicoke. OK so I haven't been writing any reviews much lately. I'm sort of out of the loop... ok rather I'm out of the loop. What would bring me back to care so much but to actually write something and post about it again? The answer to that question is not in the wind. It's in fact across the street from Ikea. Rudy, this tiny place obscure in fact considering it's kind of hidden is a like an oasis pool where the next decent thing around is well take your pick, some other chain on the Queensway. So while I go on about where Rudy is it should be said there's more than just this location. There are apparently 5 of them. (Little Italy, the Danforth, Richmond and Duncan, Yonge and Eg and of course this one which seems alone in this box store, big box area which is more like an industrial / commercial wasteland. The others well the others are in civilization for lack of a better term. I mean people live within a paper airplane's throw distance away but not this location. So you're sort of hidden. Rudy can still be seen from the Queensway going east but unless you take the underpass road (Wickman) you can't make a left into Rudy so you'll have to go under the overpass or all the way over and turn around if you miss it. The advice given here is don't miss it and turn around if you have to. Crispy beef. The burgers are smashed style and thinned out, crispy-fied. Is that a real word? I made it up but maybe you get the idea. You know if you grill say 4 burgers (not all at once) and at the end there's these beautiful tiny crispy pieces left behind? Imagine your burger being like that but it's sort of the whole burger. I mean if you're expecting a moist, juicy patty - this ain't it. It's savory tasty goodness however but just don't expect a juicy, thick patty(ies). Don't get me wrong because I am FAR from complaining so do not get the impression I didn't like this burger. It was so different and crunchier than expected that I in fact loved it. I had the big Rudy which is the "pseudo" Big Mac and while I've had my fair share of these 2nd tier burger places presenting their version of the pickles, cheese, special sauce type "would you rather" burgers from places like Holy Chuck, Burger's Priest etc this Rudy's rendition is magnifique. I can't say enough about this burger and how it's just so much different and in essence better than the other options out there probably because while smash is getting popular/popularized I honestly do not believe this is a trend but the basis of a product that should stand the test of time. In the future perhaps somebody else will reinvent the most basic of food items and redefine them again but for now, this is it. This is what we came for. My only critique of this place is the furniture is not comfortable. One high table has stools higher than the table so you can't really sit at it (bigger one in south west corner). Besides that eat and enjoy. I eat out a decent amount and have had burgers from coast to cost and this is probably the best burger I've had in recent memory.

Got their BOGO The Rudy Cheeseburger for pickup. Good money value for two for the price of 9.49 + tax! The meat is so soft and juicy and made well with the perfect crispy burnt ends. Yummmm. It was a melt in your mouth meat. The place was pretty clean and the staff was very friendly. I'd definitely come back and eat here when there's deals!

I finally got a chance to try this restaurant! I have been hearing a lot about Rudy and they just opened a location near me so I thought I would try it out! I have heard great things about the cheeseburgers and fried chicken burgers so I thought I would give it a try, along with the poutine! The stars were definitely the cheeseburgers (single and double) - both were incredibly delicious, the patty was cooked perfectly and it had a fantastic crisp on the outside. It did NOT disappoint! I was really excited about the Fried chicken sandwich and had high expectations, but unfortunately I found it to be lacking in flavor and a little underwhelming overall...for $8.49 I expected quite a bit more Ending on a high note, the poutine was incredible!!! Large portions and flavorful! I would highly recommend you try this restaurant out - looks like previous reviews are citing some issues with delivery, so I would suggest you opt for pick up, but don't expect much in terms of service, the cashier seemed like he would rather be somewhere else and apparently my name was too hard for him to pronounce...luckily during covid I appreciate less conversation rather than more :) Heres a tip: Order online and choose a time for quick pick up - you'll be in and out in a minute!
