First time here. Was excited to come here for their wings. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Dining room was pretty clean and nice seating with lots of areas to sit. I ordered ruff summer drink which I recommend. Very sweet and delicious. For the food I ordered mango habanero and the new blackened wings traditional style. I think there wasn't enough seasoning on the blackened wings which I was left disappointed. The seasoning itself was pretty good just not enough on the wings. The mango habanero was ok if you like sweet and tangy spice. I'd come back to try the burgers read more

Best boneless wings, which I thought I'd never try. The golden barbecue sauce is great and they have the best fries. Poutine is great too and I'm sure it's good for you. All the food groups: dairy cheese, gravy, bacon, fat, vegetables, how could you go wrong? We happened to go here for a birthday drink shortly after it opened and found out it was bingo night. Then went weekly for a year! It was a lot more fun when Rick called bingo. There were people of all ages playing (18+) with one cash prize, and several certificates, T-shirts, etc.,back when it was free. We spent enough on food and drinks that it wasn't really "free" but cheap entertainment bringing friends together. Was a highlight destination while it lasted. Still go for the wings. Now it's pay bingo with cash prizes, but I find it less camaraderie anymore. I guess the person calling bingo made a huge difference. read more

Food was decent but the time to get it was long and received what almost anyone would consider poor quantity of food.

Love there burgers and food there bar tender JJ is awesome very good environment and would recommend it for a date and good place for watching sports read more

Maybe the best boneless wings I've ever had! Huge!...Puts BWW to absolute shame! I had the teriyaki wings and the flavor was perfect, went so well with the blue cheese dip. I also ordered a Patty Melt Sandwich (not knowing that a small boneless wings was a meal in itself). The Patty Melt was pretty average. Not a lot of flavor and if there where onions on the sandwich they were melted into the patty. Have to say that the sandwich was a let down after the excellent wings. Maybe stick to wings? read more

Your typical sports bar with good food and good service. They were extremely busy when we stopped by and had to wait for about a half an hour. Once we ordered, the food was fairly quick and they had a great selection of beers available. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that you're not able to pick a variety of flavors as they have a lb minimum for orders. I ordered the traditional buffalo and it was great - I was just hoping to get another flavor to try but wasn't able to eat another lb of chicken I will be back read more

I ordered the shrimp tacos. They weren't horrible. However, Lesson learned, if a place is named after their wings, you should probably just stick with their wings. The server was friendly. read more

Fantastic food and serive. I highly recommend checking there food out out. I was not disappointed and I'm truly hard to please. If I can eat my left overs cold that is saying something. read more

Best boneless chicken wings in the world!! If you're hungry enough for fries too, do it!! Great fries and wings makes great times!! I always get the buffalo sauce because it's the best buffalo sauce. The hot ass reaper sauce is really good if you like heat! The other food is probably really good too. I've only gotten boneless buffalo wings tho. I've gotten them like 10+ times tho, so ya know what's up read more

I stopped at Ruff's for a second time. During happy hour on Sunday, certain apps are $3 off. I ordered cheese curds. They're normally $9.99. So I received an order for $6.99. It was the smallest serving of cheese curds that I've ever had at a restaurant. Also, they were served with cold marinara sauce. read more

This our go to for ordering out. We haven't found anything from here we did not like. The wings are great especially with all the different choices of sauces. My wife loves the taco salads. Keep up the good food and service Ruff's. read more

Usually get to eat at least one meal in area when visiting the in-laws once or twice a year. While the area needed a sports bar I felt the prices were high compared to other spots in the area and the Nachos I ordered as a meal had very little flavor and meat. Service felt slow for a place that didn't seem that busy. The drinks were certainly overpriced, they have the advantage of being attached to a hotel so some travels might not be aware there are other options. Live band that Friday night was excellent, sun was in our eyes for good chunk of evening and they should have spent some money on blinds - seems like they spent it everything else, the place does look nice. read more

See all

If I could give zero stars I would. I stopped by on a slow Friday evening and was immediately sat down. After the first 5 minutes without a waiter, we figured okay it's just busy (wasn't). A few more groups came in after us and both sat immediately and got their waiter soon after. We waited over 20 minutes, got smiled at by several staff members but never attended to. Rolled on over next door to green mill and will probably get my app sooner than my time ruffs. I normally have a great experience here but I was let down big time. Do better! read more

Willmar has needed a sports bar 5-ever. Applebees just wasn't cutting it. Their menu has a variety of decent wing sauces and dry rubs, but their buffalo chicken wrap really steals my heart. I literally order it every time. It comes with kettle chips or fries or you can upgrade to sweet potato waffle fries. I hate sweet potato fries so I don't. They have good specials during sporting events and the beer is always flowing. Their bloody marys are decent and their bloody bar is reasonably priced. Parking is never difficult. read more

We love coming for the boneless wings! They are great and having the ability to have the sauce on the side is great!! Love happy hour prices too! read more

Good, cheap food and a great happy hour! I had the dry rub buffalo wings, and they were some of the best wings I've ever had! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered carry out. My only complaint is not enough napkins! I had the philly cheese steak and it was messy! Understand, I am not complaining, It was overflowing with meat, cheese mushrooms and onions! The bread was a great texture and the sandwich itself tasted great! Exactly what I wanted when I ordered it! Couldn't have made it better myself! The meat tasted great, and the fries were very solid. The staff was professional and knowledgable. They have 30 big screen tvs. I wish this sports bar was near the south metro and not in willmar. Willmar should be proud, both outdoor areas look fantastic, I would love to watch some games here! Can't wait to go back! Thank you! read more

We have been a couple times since they have opened. The food is solid and service is always good. I have had 2 burgers and a sandwich from there, and it has all been solid. Nothing to write home about. but good. The decor is cool. Lots of BIG TVs. The outside dining area looks really nice, but it is a bit cold right now. read more

I had the boneless wings on a business trip here. The portion was huge but they were just undercooked chicken strips. They had many wing sauces to choose from. I had 2 and they were pretty good. Probably would have been a 3-4 star but the service was mediocre at best. I probably shouldn't have sat at the bar. read more

Great food and service! Ice cold beverages and delicious burgers. If you're used to Buffalo Wild Wings, I wouldn't recommend the wings though. They have a wide variety of other menu options and a nice selection of brews and mixed drinks. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area again! read more

Food is decent and overpriced. Drinks are alright and overpriced. Servers on weeknights always have an ugly attitude and are impatient. The only drink worth trying is the ruffs three ways. Which by the way.... they wouldnt share their recipe. But if you go online the drink is actually called "Three way hooker". So you might aswell save your $7 and time with rude waiters. read more

Yummy burger and parmesan ff's! Disappointed that they only had a raspberry ice tea and pepsi products to choose grom! After trying a sip of the tea- not good! When I let the staff know, she asked if I would like something else. To my surprise, I was still charged for it!!! NOT HAPPY! read more

This is a pretty typical sports bar. We ordered a couple appetizers and they were tasty. The service was good. The bartender was very nice and the manager also stopped by to check on us. My only complaint would be the group of rowdy drunk people next to us. They were clearly over-served and obnoxious. read more

Most of the bartenders are cool as can be and good at their jobs. Food is decent bar and grill fare, but not the greatest. Drinks are overpriced but what do you expect from a bar/grill attached to two hotels. My real complaint with this place is the damn music they pump through the speakers the entire time they are open. It's garbage pop/rap bullshit and I don't see anyone really liking the music played here. I'm open minded, but we're in the middle of Nowhere, Minnesota. C'mon. Play music your clientele can all agree on. read more

The wings with honey citrus pepper sauce were great. Good specials and selection of drinks. Have bloody mary bar on Sundays.

We went there for the first time last night. It was delicious! We got mozzarella sticks and onion rings for appetizers. I hate bbq sauce, but since the onion rings were served with bbq I tried it. I've officially found a bbq sauce that I like. I don't know if they make their own or what, but it was really good. My husband got a chicken sandwich that had bbq and bacon on it and I had the margherita flat bread. He said his sandwich was great, I would have tried it but I was too busy eating my amazing meal. They are a little more expensive than most restaurants in town ($41 before tip and that was without drinks) but well worth it. Our server was excellent as well (I think her name was Britney). My only complaint was that I would have loved to try their Bloody Mary but the server said it was kinda spicy when I asked her. I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy foods and most Bloody Mary's are too spicy for me anyway, but it would've been nice if they would've had a non-spicy version for wimps like me. However, that's my complaint about most restaurants as I have yet to find a really good bloody mary in Willmar. I would definitely recommend Ruffs. Great food, great service. A little on the spendy side, but well worth the money. Will absolutely be going back! read more

I came here with my team after our baseball game as recommended by another player. It has been quite awhile since I visited Willmar and I didn't realize that this place was here. I ordered the Real Deal burger basket and it was fantastic. The burger was juicy and packed with eggs, bacon, cheese, and hollandaise sauce. I was very impressed and will have to try the Juicy Lucy next time. I was able to try both the boneless and bone-in wings as well. I recommend the bone-in over boneless because you get a lot more meat and it tastes better, in my opinion. On the service side I would say that it was average. I have worked in the restaurant business and little things like remembering who had what meal, along with remembering to bring out extra stuff that is requested goes a long ways. I have been recommending this place to people already and I definitely will stop here again if I have the chance. read more

Burgers were very overlooked. My order was wrong, but the side salad was okay. Waitress disappeared after we got our food.

Service was great every time. Girls and managers were very pleasant every time I went in. Beer is cold and the burgers are great. All you can eat wings on Tuesday. read more

This is the second time I've been there. The first time the food was horrible the second time we were seated at a table that was "clean". It was gross and sticky. At least the service was good. read more

The "wings" are chicken strips drenched in sauce. To get more than 1 flavor you have to order at least 16.
