You can never go wrong with Ruski’s. It’s a small dive bar with decent food and drinks. The service is awesome with attentive bartenders and wait staff. I highly recommend the daily specials.

This place is an absolute gem. If you like fine dining and white glove service, go somewhere else! This is an old townie haunt where every seat at the bar is full in the morning and you’ll be the odd man out if you order a coffee. Food was great, service was great. We only wish we had found this place sooner!

A historic establishment kind of out of the way. We went on a Monday and it was full around 6ish. The one bartender was doing his best. You really feel like a local.

I think people give this place such high ratings for the ambiance. I’m judging just based on the food. Got the chili and it was hearty but lacked seasoning. Wish they provided saltine crackers with the chili rather than tortilla chips. Tried the fish and chips and that was ok. Fries were good. It seems like a very popular local spot. Great to come here for a beer and hang with friends.

Good food, I went with a bunch of my friends. I don’t drink, but they all got drinks they liked. Definitely better for smaller groups, but really good overall.

Great Food. Best Jalapeño Poppers I’ve (probably) ever had. Fits about 40 max. Great Hole-in-the-wall!

What a great little, locally owned pub. Food is really good and the server was totally on top of taking care of guests. Will definitely be going back to this little gem.

Came in for Sunday brunch and had the sausage biscuits which were amazing! If you like hole in the wall/ dive bars with greasy food and a nice staff, ruski’s is great. My friend ordered OJ and Tito’s and got a great pour. So, the drinks are strong, which is always a plus.
