Rudinos was one of my favorite places to grab lunch when I first moved to the area over 20 years ago, and they were very popular, with multiple locations in the area.Sadly, I guess people moved on, because lots of their locations near me are gone, and the 2 times I've made the trip to this location to grab lunch in the past year, they were practically empty :(The food is still really good (even though they put less meat on their sandwiches than they used to).I hope there are other times where they are busy, because I would hate to see this location close down too :(I'll be in the area a little more often in the future, so I'll be sure to come grab a sandwich when I'm nearby.(also their pizza used to be amazing - not sure how it is now, but it's pizza - kinda hard to screw that up, so I'm assuming it's still good)

I have tried their fries, Cobb salad, and gluten free buffalo chicken pizza. All have been delicious. I dream about that salad sometimes.Dietary restrictions: Good gluten free pizza crust!

Absolutely great food and atmostphere. They seem a little understaffed, so service wasn’t the fastest, but very friendly.

Got the black and blue sandwich. Was totally elevated by the fresh bread and toasted/sweated celery. Somebody there knows how to cook. Got my money's worth.

This place needs to be on Restaurant Impossible. I swear, everything about it is broken. If it weren’t near PNC we wouldn’t go.

I have been coming here since it was a Blockbuster Video 20 years ago. This is oddly becoming an old raleigh institution alongiside places like players retreat and cup of joe since so much has been lost with rapid gentrification. This location sits in the last interesting area of raleigh, the borderzone between suburbs filled with midwesterners and a inner city overrun by rich young tech remote workers. You will find some of the last real old raleigh people here. You can find the aloof and detached at The Mill and Bela Monica in the same strip mall. I think the days ate numbered here as they are at the only places left in raleigh with soul, like Logans, Berkley Cafe, and Char-Grill RIP.As far as food, we have eaten hundreds of orders from Lilly's Pizza. We like the basic pizzas from Rudinos better. Have no idea why people eat Randy's. And the subs are better than anyone else around the inner beltline and downtown.
This place is a ghost town. Extremely overpriced I assume to offset the costs from the unnecessary Remodeling they just did for the customers they don't have. Closed on monday which is odd. Half the time will not Let me make a to go order after 9.

I just had the best pizza I’ve had in a long time at Rudinos! The bartender was an angel and the manager was engaging and a real sweetheart. I’ll be back! Thanks Rudinos!Vegetarian options: I’m a vegetarian and there were lots to choose from. I went with the red pizza Sophia and it was perfection

Fantastic pizza! Go with the red Sophia - you won't be disappointed! The 2 guys next to me at the bar were commenting: that looks good!!...that smells good!.... Well, It tasted even better - but I wasn't sharing :). Awesome bartender, super friendly manager. I'll definitely be back!!

Overpriced. $71 dinner for two-no alcohol. Smallest wings I've ever eaten. Service was below average.

Really solid for what it is. The chipotle chicken grinder and buffalo chicken dips are my favorites, but everything I've had bas been pretty good.
