A neat little drive in that you can't help but smile. We drove up from Warrens for a fun lunch. I highly recommend the jalapeño cheese curds. The rootbeer was served in a frosty mug (the best!!) and was really good. Burgers, fries- oh my! Definitely worth stopping at. Walk up and order or order through the speaker and have the car hop bring it to your car. read more

We ate at Rudy's today. What a treat. The food was great and inexpensive. The atmosphere is unique. We sat outside in a breezy area and were served at the table. It was awesome. I recommend this to anyone. We had the double burger, onion rings, and fries. My soda came in a chilled mug. read more

Rudy's Drive In Restaurant - American food at its best. - American Near Me - Sparta, Wisconsin

I am in town for a while and this was my first attempt at a local spot. The customer service was very friendly and cordial. They offered great suggestions on what to eat since I am new here and we decided o. The cod, Cole slaw, fries and a root beer shake which only cost $.99. The food was prepared fairly quickly and I enjoyed it all. If you are in town this is not a bad place to rest and eat. The fries are not the best but everything else was good. read more

I don't know why they call their Mayo with pickle relish " secret sauce?" They put so much of it on the burger everything else was sliding out if it. And the food we ordered was cold. Overpriced for the quality and not worth the effort . I would say go somewhere else where at least you won't get cold food ! read more

This place is a joke in how it's run. No management and run by teens. Screwed up not just our order many times but so many customer that we witnessed also waited and waited and then had to take it back as it was wrong. I wouldn't come back and won't. read more

This place is awesome. We just got done riding the trail and required sustenance. Luckily, Rudy's was the first place we came to. The food was excellent, and reasonably priced. The make their own root beer!!! Dude, so good! We would have gotten desert, but we were so full. They do have a military discount. Kelley was our server and was super nice! I will be coming back here. read more

Awesome root beer floats!!! I wanted to try more but we only went there for dessert. Great customer service.

When you visit Rudy's you'll revisit an era before fast food became a dirty word. Excellent burgers, fries, cheese curds, onion rings, and root beer served (by roller-skated carhops!) in thick glass mugs. I was reminded of the A & W drive-ins I remember from the early sixties. But Rudy's doesn't feel like an exercise in cheap nostalgia. They don't pander to a 50's sensibility; it's more like they've been serving good food in a friendly atmosphere forever, and see no reason to stop just because so many others have. Heartily recommended! read more

Never disappointed always leave full and not broke. Thank you for keeping the drive in atmosphere and a tradition going. I am now a regular. Even on a bad weather day you can tuck underneath the awning and enjoy a great lunch. read more

Beautiful place that brings me back to a time before my parents were born. With decade appropriate music streaming off satellite radio, and waitresses in poodle skirts hanging out food order off the side of the car, be prepared to enter a world where people drove just to drive and the cars themselves were works of art. The food itself is pretty basic, but well made. Delicious turkey burger! You should consider going for the basket. Dessert is mainly based in soft-serve, and not particularly great soft serve. But, the meal and atmosphere was great and if you want a DQ-esque "ice cream" treat afterwards, at least they save you the trip down the road. If we find ourselves driving through in the future, and are even a little hungry, we will certainly stop by again! read more

My new favorite place to get a great burger with amazing cheese curds and rootbeer floats are great!!! Customer service is great too!! Make sure you have cash though they only take cash but they do have an ATM on site! read more

Great fried chicken filet sandwich, bun was so fresh! The super burger was really good, jalapeño cheese curds were excellent, just the right amount of heat. Enough for the two of us. We did not try the root beer but saw others ordering it, looked tasty! Prices are reasonable, no dining inside but picnic tables outside if the weather cooperates, it was rainy so we sat in our vehicle, food was delivered to the passenger side window, with a tray, ketchup and mustard bottles provided. Would definitely fine here again! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would! First time we went here we ordered 5 pc chicken tenders and 2 banana splits. They gave us 3 pc tenders and MELTED banana splits. Literally right when they handed it to us in our car they were melted and liquid. My boyfriend likes their ice cream and wanted to give them another chance even though they messed up our order the first time. We come back a few days later and order dinner for us and my boyfriend's family. We spent $60+ and didn't receive the chicken tenders and onion rings. Btw, we realized they forgot part of our order when we got home and checked the bags. I drove back to get the chicken tenders basket and they did not even apologize for the inconvenience they've caused. Get back home and I remember my boyfriend ordered a cheeseburger that they of course forgot! I didn't even bother to drive back for another time... And surprisingly (not really) they gave us melted banana splits with broken lids that made the ice cream drip all over the car and floor! Worst restaurant and customer service I've ever encountered. read more

$1.90 for a pop with NO REFILLS. Burgers are frozen patties. Crinkle fries were good and ice cream looked good but also pricy. I know NO other restaurants that charge for refills on pop. Owners greed will keep me from returning read more

Delicious food! Great Root Beer Floats! Awesome and quick customer service! Definitely stop by if you are in that neck of the woods!

I had to give it a star to rate it but the food was aweful. The burger was cold and the root beer float was made with flavored ice cream, probably because they didnt wait till the flavor syrup was clear from the machine when making it. The waitress forgot half our order and by the time we finished my entire family felt ill. I will not return. read more

Came here for a quick bit to eat took long. When the food came we paid with two twenty dollar bills and the car hop gave us change for thirty dollars. When I said I gave her forty dollars she said "no you didn't" and walked away. So pay close to the amount or make sure they give you change before you give them your money read more

The outside around the window is always dirty. Staff can't remember orders and drinks are always flat
