they failed!. i have been telling my dad about this place for so long after reading about it on yelp so we finally stopped in for lunch. i knew what kind of place it was and wasn't really sure if i wanted breakfast or lunch since both were recommended. as we walked in we were sat at a booth that was not wiped down and a little tight of a fit but we dealt with it.
right away my dad commented on all of the tattoos and i pretty much expected it after hearing about the place but every customer seemed to have one as well. this pretty much became a game for us to try to find someone without a tattoo but as expected for the area we couldn't. i have a tattoo myself but i have never seen so many in one dining establishment at one time. it's a great place for people watching i'll give em that.
when our server arrived i ordered the pulled bbqchickensandwich with a mixed green salad and my dad got a short stack of pancakes. we made it quick and pretty simple but one minute later our server came back to clarify if i ordered the pork orchickenand that i wanted fries. i said thechickenand salad and he asked if vinaigrette was ok like it's the only thing that was available to me.
when our food arrived my dad got 2 nice looking pancakes and my plate was big but mostly covered with salad and produce for my sandwich. thechickenwas poring out so this looked good but as i took off the bun i noticed it was all on one side of the bun and there really wasn't alot of meat at all. the bun was not what i expected either as it was a small hamburger sized sesame bun. this sandwich was small and not an item worth almost $10. it came with a side of coleslaw that was totally bland so i put it on my sandwich to enhance both. as i said the plate was covered with mixed greens and barely had any vinaigrette to make it even edible. the only perk here was they gave me about 10 pickles that i put on my sandwich and made it a little better but they need more meat and a much fancier bun for this sandwich.
as for the pancakes they had good flavor with the syrup but seemed average and on the doughy side. my dad is a huge pancake lover and they definitely failed in his book. i'm not clear on the exact price of the two pancakes but i can tell you that you can get a better price and tastier pancakes elsewhere.
as we finished up we asked to get the check when our server had a chance but it seemed there was not a chance with us. we watched him put in an order on the computer and take orders from two tables before we finally dropped a $20 bill on the edge of the table and he finally grabbed it to make change and bring our bill. i have had my experience in restaurants and i know people get busy but you can make time for something like a bill and we noticed there really was no serious meltdown he was having.
all together we really weren't impressed with rudy's food and service. the menu looks great and has some good ideas but it's overpriced for sure. everyone has different experiences so try em out and hope they don't fail with you.
