We stopped at Ruckus for a quick lunch. My son got a kids meal of linguine and a meatball with a drink for $7. The portions were huge. I wish it had two huge meatballs for all the linguine but it was a huge hit. I ordered the Philly cheese steak on a gluten free roll. The roll ended up being two pieces of bread and came out well after everyone else's food. The only side I could have was fruit but it was delicious. The Philly cheese steak had onions and peppers and was very tasty. The waitress was great but very busy. It was a nice atmosphere, very casual, for a quick lunch with two young kids (2 and 4) . Crayons were provided to keep the kids occupied while we waited on the food. read more

We are regulars at Ruckus Apex. We're there 2 to 3 times per week and I've enjoyed about everything on the menu. This month there are new specials and tonight I had the Korean Barbeque Chicken. Its served as a bowl with breaded chicken breast and Korean BBQ sauce on a bed of sticky rice with broccoli, carrots and green onions topped with Yum-Yum sauce. It was absolutely perfect and at a great price. They've got a Vietnamese chicken & noodle dish that I can't wait to try also as one of this month's specials. Service is always outstanding. We've made a lot of friends from the customer's a Ruckus. Monday evenings we almost always stop in for Music Bingo and dinner. Its always a good time. read more

Updating my review to include a dining experience. Drinks remain solid and a good deal - 4 stars. Our food was all pretty mid. I had the ACP bowl with was mostly white rice and the guac served on the side was partially brown. My son had a pizza and my husband a burger and they were both underwhelmed. Overall, I'd say 3.5 stars. read more

Both come with fries. The pizza was pretty good The fries are nice and crispy and sweet potato fries. Taste really good. Nice amount of. Nice amount of meat in both sandwiches. Both sandwiches tasted very good. Not too much salt on them. Bread was toasted just right. I would come back here again. read more

Went for mother's Day lunch today and it was atrocious. First they had a sign outside saying it was 1/2 off entrees for mothers. After the bill came found it was one mother per table, that was stated NO WHERE on the flyer. If I knew that I would have ordered something else. The salad we ordered came out with some which like seemed a part of a kitchen cloth on it. Something not edible, disgusting! My whole family got their entrees and they forgot mine, they brought it out when my family was basically done eating and my family had to wait for me to finish to leave. The side of fries came out extremely late after all other food arrived as well. We were told we were told we were going to have that salad removed but it was never removed from our bill. Horrible experience today. I've been several times before, no issues. I will not be returning to this location any longer. read more

Really enjoyed their pasta the build your own option was nice! Friendly staff and the wait for our waitress and food wasn't long.

Amazing service and food! would completely recommend!!!! All of the workers here work really hard! especially the kitchen staff!

i really hate leaving reviews . But i felt necessary today 7/7. 3pm. I travel for my work and every-time i land in NC , Ruckas has been my go to for great food, great spirits, good prices, i have gotten to know the owner a little over the last 8 years i have been going and some of the staff, I have noticed the last couple of times that the great Bartender/servers are not there anymore )Nichole (. two times ago i came with a friend and the food took forever to come out. and when it did it was cold. they literally put it in a micro wave. that was bad. BUT TODAY IS WHY I MAY NEVER GO BACK !!! I came in at 3 pm fresh from airport and it was not busy at all , the bartender was cold and not welcoming , I got a beer then asked if i could have a grilled cheese made for me,, she was agitated and said i could not order off the kids menu. I asked if they could make one for me with bacon ( as an adult) and the asked what they used for bread, she then got all bent and said it was texas toast and not worth buying,,ok. i've had this made lots of times for me over the last 8 years , i just paid for my beer and left. This was my go to place in NC. and now i still havnt eaten. Employees like that suck and i hope the owner sees this. she is terrible and should just stay home. i have brought parties of 25 for dinner in there when it was good, but im afraid you may lose me as a customer for that Bs read more

Quick service, ordered dinner while leaving work, and picked it up on my way home! Can we get a location closer to Fort Bragg?

We decided to stop for a quick bite. We were pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a wait. Although it was chilly out, we sat outside and loved it because they have a covered outside area The server was amazing. Very attentive and informative. We ordered sushi and tacos. They were very tasty and well portioned. All in all, we will return. read more

Overall a good experience dining here. Staff were attentive and the gluten free pizza crust is really good, taste like a regular thin crust pizza. For $1.50 a topping I would've liked to seen better portions on the pizza. They are also have gluten friendly beer. Nice variety of food on the menu including sushi, salads, wraps, burgers, wings, and pasta. read more

Came here late one night and the staff were so accommodating and nice. The food was delicious and something I'd 100% order again.

The Apex location is by far the best!! We order from here at least once a month for our office lunch. Our order is always right and the staff are always polite and friendly. The food is on point and always good. As for the dine in ambiance its a fun and entertaining place to be. read more

My usual dining place in Apex was closed New Year's day so I found Ruckus in Apex. It is located in the shopping center with Costco. They have standard seating; high top seating in the bar section; and covered outdoor seating on a patio. They offer brunch on Saturday and Sundays which I didn't realize. I love eggs benedict and they offer a country benedict so fried eggs instead of poached. A biscuit instead of an english muffin and country ham. I didn't like this take on eggs benedict as the ham was too salty for me and I prefer poached eggs. However I also got to try the Ruckus White pizza. The pizza was delicious! I would order a pizza here again or try another brunch item. read more

We enjoy the brunch menu! Staff is always extremely friendly and professional. Just good ole bar type food.

Some strive for greatness & some are just happy with mediocrity. Ruckus is a shiny example of mediocrity. There was nothing that stands out with the design, ambiance or the menu. There are lots of places that serve similar bar food yet somehow people flock to this place. Haven't been in years so decided to revisit to see if I've missed out. Service - I know that it's hard to find good help but the service was inattentive and lackluster. Had to ask several times for straws. Ordered onion rings as a side & it was brought out burnt not once but twice. Whomever was expediting should've caught that. They need their fryer oil changed and temp adjusted. Food - It's typical sports bar food. Nacho appetizer was huge & decent. The chicken Philly was pretty good & generous as was the kicking chicken sandwich. The Sam I Am personal pizza was pretty good. Onion rings arrived burnt twice & were complete inedible. They sent out another serving for the 3rd time. It was cooked to a golden crisp but the crust was very hard. They weren't good onion rings. With that said, I wasn't impressed & have no desire to revisit. There are plenty of places around town with better management, better service & better food. Update: I always appreciate when managers/ owners take the time to read & respond. I'm on Yelp because I want people to be aware of what they're doing well & what may need improvement. Some things are obviously lost on some people. I said the food was good...it met the criteria to satisfy a hunger. I didn't say it was anything to write home about. As for an "off day", how many "off days" do you have to justify a trifecta of bad service and burnt food all in one service?!?! Instead of trying to gaslight me by implying that it is "my rating scale", you may want to look inwards and address the delinquencies in YOUR service training for both front and back of the house. Your staff should be embarrassed sending out a second burnt order instead of paying attention to how the food was prepared. They are frozen bagged onion rings so how hard was it to ensure that it was done right? Incidentally the table next to us had a burnt order of mozzarella sticks. They may not have brought it to your attention but it was clearly dark brown/ black. That is inexcusable. We had to ask for the inedible item to be taken off our check. Not a single manager came over to address this issue. Yes you may have people flocking (& people will as long as there's sports on a big screen and alcohol) but your answer was the epitome of mediocrity. It's ok if you scrape by to barely pass the test but you don't see any need to improve. Eh...there are plenty of great sports bars that serve similar food to you around town. There are plenty that always has much better food, better staff training and exceptional service. We are regulars at several and have never had a bad experience in the many times we've been to those. read more

Ruckus is my new go-to in Apex/Cary. Great beer selection, friendly, delightful staff, fantastic food selection and quality! It's incredibly rare to find a place that has delicious pizza, sandwiches and sushi! The quality here is above and beyond! Do NOT pass up a chance to visit here! read more

My favorite location of the chain! Sushi is great and the waitress allowed me to make sandwich substitutions with no trouble. The food came out hot and quickly. The atmosphere gives off clean sports bar vibes - perfect! Will always come back here! read more

As a long time bar regular, the bar service has been pretty bad the last couple of weeks. What the hell happened?

We have been Wednesday night regulars for years! The trivia by Zac is the best around. Everyone is so friendly. And a special shout out to Michaela! The sweetest, most attentive bartender. She knows what we want before we order. Always a smile on her face. We feel like we are surrounded by friends. Such a comfortable place. Give it a try. You'll definitely come back. read more

My service was great, and the half rack of ribs was amazing! Enjoyed the music trivia too. Although hard to hear where they seated us outside. Enjoyed our time! read more

I've always wanted to try this place and finally got to! The food was great. Hot and fresh. But there were no lunch options that we saw :( so it was a pretty expensive lunch. But everything else was good! Server was pleasant. read more

I've written reviews for Ruckus in the past (both dining in and take out). The last time I got takeout the wrap was a little baggy but this go around...perfection! I ordered a wedge salad (added onion, subbed blue cheese for ranch) with a side of tenders. The salad was fresh and crisp and the tenders were perfectly fried and the chicken tenders were, well, tender! And a great portion for the price!! I also ordered the steak quesadillas for my son who is very particular about his quesadillas. They needed no add-ins or substitutions. They were perfectly stuffed and grilled crisp to perfection. Ruckus has definitely become our go-to on Uber Eats! read more

PSA - The Five Alarm Burger is more like a One Alarm. Finally decided to brave the name and was severely unimpressed, especially due to the lack of cheese dip served with as promised on the menu. Spicy cheese stick was on TOP of the burger, not in it, and the cheese within wasn't melted. The spicy seasoning on it didn't pair well with the burger. Pretty disappointed with this dish. Needs a revamp. read more

Ruckus is a decent place for sushi and pizza . Today first time getting a sandwich and probably last time . Menu description was way different than what the French dip that I got . The sandwich was just tough beef and cheese , nothing what was described on the menu and onion rings were way over done . Sushi is really good as well as pizza from past times here . However , I can't say much about the sandwiches read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and found that Ruckus seems to have raised prices and abandoned the 10 for $10 lunch specials. We ended up just ordering a couple of slices of pizza. Pizza was ok and service was fine. High menu prices and lack of lunch specials were a negative. A couple of thoughts....1) Pizza for lunch - there are multiple options very close by that have lunch specials that include pizza and soda at a much lower price. Quality is as good or better. 2) Regular food items - All of the sandwich items at Ruckus are now $15.99 and up. Again, there are multiple places close to this location (some within walking distance) with better pricing and just as good quality. We would typically stop at this Ruckus location if we were in the area around lunchtime. In the future, we'll probably drive a short distance or walk to another place. read more

The pizzas I ordered were for Apex New Hill Firefighter's dinner! They loved the 24" BBQ Chicken pizza and some appetizers... You guys doing an amazing job!!! Got some for me and my daughter as well and it was super delicious!!! Thank you!!!!! read more

Bottom line: This location of Ruckus in Apex has had up and down experiences for me, with the latest one for lunch ending up pretty good. I can say around 3.5 stars for these guys overall. The Deets: I've been to this location of Ruckus a few times. I have to admit that it's been hit or miss. Some times pre-pandemic I've had a few service hiccups when sitting at a table/outside, but I had pretty good luck with sitting at the bar. Past trips would include being abandoned at the table, long waits for items to come, etc. I had a pretty 2 star-ish impression with past visits. Recently, I had a better visit around lunch time, with a larger group. Our server did well, getting drink orders out, taking orders etc. Ruckus has a wide selection and great variety on their menu...sandwiches, pasta, pizza, sushi, burgers, etc. My choices included a Turkey Guac BLT sandwich on ciabatta, fries on the side, and one slice of cheese pizza. The sandwich was pretty good, not over the top but the sandwich and fries both did hit the spot for lunch. The cheese pizza slice was good. It had thin crust which I favor but wish it had been less "floppy" for lack of a better term. Again, it did the trick for lunch. We did have a little bit of trouble getting all the checks straightened out but all was solved in good time. I'd have to say this visit was more towards 3.5-4 stars, and averaging in all trips I would go with around 3.5 stars in total for this location of Ruckus. read more
