Great old fashioned breakfast! Great pancakes, great hash browns! I'll be back next time that I'm in town.
We were a group of eight. No problem getting a table while we waited for the entire group to be there. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Good selection of food and good kids menu. Service was good as was the ambiance.
You MUST Try This Place!!! I came into town to celebrate Mother's Day with my family, mom and sister-in-law. On Saturday, I wanted a day to myself. So, I looked for a new spot to try out food. I saw this place was good for Vegetarians, so I made a bee line there. This place is my new best friend - and they don't even know it yet! The food is AMAZING! The staff is AMAZING! The ambience is AMAZING! It's so unique, homey, comfortable, and easy going. You place your order at the counter, get a number, then find your own seat. The servers come and check in on you - but they don't bother you. The food is served with a smile and a wonderful welcome. And, every bite makes your belly happy. They have indoor and outdoor seating, in case you have a furry friend . I would describe this place as a neighborhood staple that must be experienced by all.
Food 5/5 Service 6/5 Ambiance 5/5 Rudy's truly can't fail, the food is too darn good! I have been living in West Oakland for a year now and I'm hooked! If you are in the east bay and are looking for a local diner to support with great food and service, I highly recommend coming to Rudy's! (I know I used an exclamation point a lot, but I truly love this diner) Food: (these are my favorites) 1. BLT with soup (5/5) my favorite dish. It's simple and fills me up. This is my got to at Rudy's. 2. Deuces Wild, French Toast (5/5) looking for a sweet and savory breakfast! Try this from the menu. This is my favorite meal when I want to really treat myself. 3. Tofu Chilaquiles (5/5) this is a delicious vegan dish with plenty of protein. Also recommend the veggie burger (I don't have a picture sorry) Service: I just really wanted to highlight how helpful Rudy's staff is. Someone is always walking around looking for ways to help customers. This is truly a community diner where patrons can take a load off.
Great place to celebrate an anniversary for a relationship that simply Can't Fail! Classic casual diner serving all the diner classics, plus a little extra something-something! Booths, bottomless coffee, Barbie's, the kindest staff, and always a great playlist of pop-punk classics and reggae. I'm workin' on being a regular at Rudy's, and you should too!
They are open on Christmas Day until 2 PM. The service here is very quick. I came in a party of two, we had to order at the bar, and the food was brought to us within 10 minutes. The omelette was so delicious. I didn't want to stop eating it, but I was so full at just eating half of it. The pancakes for just OK, I don't know if I will order them again. But the main event of the meal, was the English muffin! It was so buttery , warm and delicious. I will definitely order that every time. They have outside dining as well. They do have picnic tables for large group and a lot of two and four seater tables. As soon as someone left, the tables were cleared and cleaned.
Friday night live music and crab cakes! Tiny spot with easy parking and much less street crime than Oakland (but that's true for almost anywhere except Somalia) Good bands. Convenient to IKEA and Home Depot for late night runs Cryptic sign across the street (see photo)
Honestly absolutely love this restaurant. Discovered it from watching Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and so glad I got to experience it! Food & Drink - beers on tap, all sorts of diner food available. I absolutely loved my tuna melt - such a great execution of a classic! Service - incredibly friendly staff & your food comes out quick. Ambiance - indoor & outdoor seating, old-time diner vibes... loved sitting outside at a large picnic table & playing cards while we enjoyed our meal. Recommend Rudy's for a quick bite or a casual meal with friends!!
