Burgers and blistered green beans were delicious, didn’t care for the slaw, it was very vinegary.

January 2026...Great eatery with quality service!
Came in to have lunch during the work week. Cozy little shop with only two other patrons at the time. Ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries. Food was prepped and table-ready quickly, allowing for a no-rush dining experience. Dessert options were a bit minutes, though the butterscotch pudding for which I came was just the right portion for the day. The counter help was delightful, taking and receiving orders with a pleasant smile on her face. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch. I will be back to try more of the menu!

I've only done take-out at this place and all 3 times I ordered the same burger (jalepeno smashburger). I saw a negative review that the burger is tiny ? - no way. May not be huge, but it's a decent sized portion. Two smashburger patties. The first time I got it - amazing, but a bit greasy (wasn't sure if they added oil because even the buns were soaked). Second and third times - the burgers were very pink - basically pink from inside to edge. I know some don't mind that, but when I order a grilled smashburger, I'm expecting the patties (that are so thin to begin with) to be fully cooked through. I'd understand if it wasn't a smashburger, where you'd have to specify how you like your burger (medium, well done, etc.). The third time wasn't as greasy, but I'm a bit disappointed that the burgers weren't cooked through considering how thin and easy it should be to do so without drying it out. Seems like a standard expectation on a smashburger. The buns taste great - definitely upscale rolls. The staff are always friendly and greet you with a smile and excitement. I want to like you guys way more, just for that. Please just cook the patties through. Having some more options for burgers would also be nice.

We were at Rugile’s Kitchen today and really liked it. We had a burger and a sandwich, and both were absolutely amazing. Super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. You can really tell that a lot of care goes into the food here.
Also the rest of the menu looked amazing, we had a hard time deciding. Every dish looked really delicious, and it’s clear this place takes pride in offering high-quality, thoughtfully made meals.
The owner and staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was warm, and the whole experience just felt like a hidden gem kind of find.
Definitely coming back to try more! Highly recommend.

Our family absolutely loves Rugiles. From the warm, friendly team to the incredible made-to-order dishes, it has quickly become one of our favorite casual spots in New Jersey. Everything is prepared with quality ingredients and real care. The Terrace St. Rice Bowl and the Jalapeño Bacon Smashburger are personal favorites!

Blew away expectations! Tasted one of the best burgers in the area if not the world. Cooking isn't mystically hard as long as you have good ingredients and balanced seasoning, but what is truly difficult is proper texture and reproducible consistency. To me, burger patty texture and moisture balance is what distinguishes the elites. Unlike some self-proclaimed burger greats, no sinew got stuck between teeth or shocked the experience with the errant bone bit. The slight resistance of the outer sear when you get past the bun that yields to the juicy uniformity within whispers you've discovered something special. I'll be returning to see if this quality can be consistently reproduced, the other tricky aspect of cooking well.
Tasted 3 burgers: Schraalenburger, Park BBQ, and Jalapeno Bacon
Very cute place with great food options. The type of place where you order and sit. The food it’s brought out hot and fresh. “The Hawt Honey” sandwich was delicious. The “Chocolate Chia” smoothie was great too. Very family and kid friendly too.

I have been dying to try this place for a long time and finally found the opportunity to do so today. Ordered for pick up on their website which was super easy, food was ready by promised time, AND I was met with a smile by the girl working the register. My hot honey chicken sandwich was amazing. Will definitely be back!

The Cutlet Supreme was honestly the best I’ve ever had. Super crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The smoothies were just as delicious. Friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back.

After a refreshing walk in the park across the street, I stumbled upon a gem—Rugile’s Kitchen. The menu posted in the window caught my eye, and with the sun shining and tables set outside, it felt like the perfect place to stop for a bite.
I was warmly greeted by Francesca Loushin, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. I asked her about the Haworth Hen Burger, and without hesitation, she told me it was one of her favorites. That was all the encouragement I needed—I ordered it with cheese and a side of French fries.
Francesca invited me to sit outside and even brought my food out to me, which added such a personal touch. The moment I took a generous bite of the burger, I was blown away. It was, without question, the most flavorful chicken burger I’ve ever had. The slaw on top gave it a nice kick, and with a drizzle of honey mustard, it became an absolute flavor bomb. Paired with a refreshing lemonade, it was the perfect meal on a beautiful day.
Rugile’s Kitchen is a real treat. If you ever find yourself in Haworth, you owe it to yourself to stop by. The presentation is thoughtful, the flavor is unmatched, and the care they put into the experience shows. This place doesn’t just serve food—they craft it.
