Gotta be honest: I ordered the chili cheese dog with pure skepticism.
I thought, "no way is a chili cheese dog worth $15".
I was mistaken. The first two bites were worth that and everything else is a bonus.
So if you're a fan of chili cheese dogs, hurry up and get one before they realize what they have and start charging more.

Great little spot. Home away from home, your favourite local dive bar. Good for breakfast from 8am or a few drinks in the evening (or afternoon if you are thirsty!)

A lovely little place. The staff is very down to earth and nice. The food is incredible and honestly I felt like it came out pretty quick. The price is very reasonable making it a great repeat place and not just a once in a while treat which I'm glad about because I'd been hoping this could become a regular joint of mine and it most definitely will be now. It is loud, being a tavern, so be aware if you have noise sensitivities it's a small place with music and TVs going and people talking.

First meal of my Portland experience. I don't know if I was just really hungry or if it really was that good, but I had an out of body experience while eating my fried haddock sandwich and then I looked down and it was gone. Everything was perfectly crispy and seasoned- even the fries tasted exponentially better than your run of the mill dive bar. The bartender was super nice, it felt like it would be easy to become a regular there. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town.

Best burger in Portland. Great bloodys. Prime hangover spot.
I had the lobster stew and it was spectacular especially for the price!! It had so much lobster in it and the cream sauce was delicious ?. Our waiter/bartender was very friendly and the atmosphere was definitely neighborhoodish,
Parking: It is in a neighborhood so........

Allowed us to spend our hard-earned money on touch tunes, but unsanctimoniously barred us from completing the song. The bartender personally degraded us when we humbly attempted to finish the song for which we paid. Spicy pickles quite delicious.

I don’t know how I have waited so long to get here! Great food, super chill place to hang out with friends. Not fancy, like a lot of the bars in Portland are now.

This is undeniably the best place for country fried steak I've ever had. I've sampled it everywhere, from Wisconsin to Louisiana, Missouri to Arizona, and Ruskis surpasses them all. The staff and chef are exceptional, treating us like cherished locals. We dined there three times during our seven-day vacation, and every dish we tried was outstanding! A definite must-visit!
