good to know

Basic diner food. Breakfast served all day.

Tattooed servers (with attitude). Sometimes the music is loud (punk rock)—not a place for those looking for a quiet, romantic evening, or for folks who are hard of hearing, but a fun late nite hash house.

$1 beers from 9pm-1am everynight.

The kids menu has games and can be colored. There are theme tables and a large Barbie doll display. The breakfast menu has a funny face pancake.

Excellent burgers; great toppings...open until 1 AM...cheap wine by the glass...5.00 plus. Reviewed on the PBS Diners and Dives show...also great breakfasts and brunches and things like hot turkey sandwich with gravy, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce for 10 or 11 bucks..
Recession proof...try it...female chef, your money's worth, but not 25.00 Japanese beef!

I'm a fan of Rudy's for kids. Waits can be long. Service & food is usually good. Love the decor & people watching. REPLY (24 Replies) (by Allfrog68, created January 13, 2010)
