Ruski's Tavern Reviews
bad service ,mice droppings on the table
Imagine the level of delusional to profile someone’s clothing and kicking them out when it was just guy wanting to try a new place. 🤯
Place segregates people on way they look.... Not a place to go as they play the politics game....

Ruski's Tavern is a cozy, fun spot that offers a welcoming atmosphere for both breakfast and later in the day. It is often described as a "home away from home" and a favorite local dive bar, making it a great place to relax with good food and drinks. The staff is down to earth, attentive, and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. During breakfast hours, guests can enjoy simple, tasty options like eggs, toast, sausage, and baked beans, along with a passable Bloody Mary. For lunch or dinner, the menu features comfort foods such as the chili cheese dog, which many find surprisingly worth the price, and the BBQ bacon burger, described as juicy and fully dressed with added mayo. Thai chicken wings are also popular, well-seasoned and perfectly cooked, served with Thai sauce. The fried haddock sandwich received high praise for its crispy, seasoned quality, with fries that taste noticeably better than typical dive bar fare. The place is lively, with music and TVs, so it might be loud for those sensitive to noise. Prices are reasonable, making Ruski's Tavern a great spot to become a regular. Whether for breakfast, drinks, or a casual meal, it promises a warm, friendly environment with good food and attentive service.
