I am new to the area and found this little gem. Mom and Pop diner. Pop was actually at the grill. Breakfast was 10 stars. Hot, fresh and fast. The service is amazing. Rock Stars to each and every person working there. They work as a team in unison all were so happy and caring. My waitress made sure before I left that I knew the restaurant hours of operation, Sunday and Monday they close at 2:00 pm, and made sure I was aware of new dinner menu items Pork Chops just added and when the Chili goes out to serve. WOW! Now that is a warm welcome and great service with warm smile. The restaurant is quaint with booths and table settings. Small hometown feels. Don't miss this place if you are passing through Clarksville. If you live here and have not tried it yet I highly recommend. read more

Stopped here on a Saturday morning and waited about 30 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was not full, so it may have been a staffing issue, but we had to wait outside or in the car. Parking was easy, which was a plus. The restaurant itself felt a little worn down and somewhat dirty, though the bathroom was extremely clean. Once seated, the service was friendly but very slow. We ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, grits, coffee, and home fries. The coffee was delicious, and I loved the stainless steel mugs. The grits were not good, the bacon looked and tasted old, and the home fries were huge and just okay. Overall, it was a very basic breakfast and not really a place we would return to. read more

What a wonderful find here in Clarksville that is reminiscent of retro diners that don't seem to exist anymore! This is a what you see, what you get simple diner with the breakfast staples. Buttery biscuits, crispy bacon, and perfectly cooked eggs - all for cheap prices. The service is phenomenal, our coffee remained filled the entire time and the food was out quick. It's a bit cramped inside, once you arrive you seat yourself though at any table you'd like. The only thing we didn't really enjoy was the grits as they were ice cold and a bit flavorless, so we'd pass on those the next time we are in. Great little gem! read more

I'm convinced this is one of the last folk selling real food. You don't need to decide if you should cook or go out...Rudy's Diner lets you have both. They're out here selling warm biscuits that melt in your mouth. I haven't had any like that since I ate my grandma's in Arkansas. I don't know if they make their own smoked sausage, but it was something new for my palate-delicious. It smells and sounds like your granny is whipping up something on Saturday morning. The music is soothing to the nervous system and the dining area is painted in warm colors. The young lady at the register is very pleasant and I felt welcomed to sit down and enjoy my meal. I had to take my order to go this time, but I must return and bring a friend because this is a place that should be packed all of the time. Oh, apparently you can call in an order too. If you want something that "sticks to the rib" this is it! read more

I went to Rudy's on the ratings from yelp. They were correct. I ordered a smoked sausage omelette with a side of biscuits and gravy. I was not disappointed. They kept the coffee coming.It was getting busy by the time I was going to leave. Clean and friendly wait staff. read more

Best breakfast in Clarksville! Real hash browns and sausage, great biscuits n gravy, and great staff. The only thing I'd change is to use real butter instead of melted margarine. This is our go to! read more

Rudy's was exactly what we were looking for the morning we stopped in--a welcoming, unpretentious old-school diner where you can get a plate of eggs and the rest for a fair price. My wife had chocolate chip pancakes which were fluffy and tasty. I had the country fried steak, biscuit and gravy, and a side of home fries. The biscuit was crispy around the edges and soft in the middle. If the biscuits and gravy are to be your main entree, you might want a second but as a side one biscuit is plenty. The home fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle as they should be. Gravy was good. Eggs over easy cooked to order the way I asked for them. Hot coffee in random mugs, friendly service, super fair pricing especially given the cost of eggs these days (spring 2025). The menu is pretty extensive-- breakfast potatoes of multiple varieties (hashbrowns, homefries, etc.), omelettes, various meat options (country fried steak, bacon, sausage, corn beef hash, steak, pork chops, and if you're feeling bold, brains)--not to mention a full meat and three for lunch as well as desserts. Everything was hot, fresh, and cooked to order sold at a fair price by friendly people. Plenty of parking out front. read more

Didn't care for it. Staff was kinda weird and the food was just okay. Lots of people there but just wasn't my style.

The food was good, typical diner menu. The service was awesome. Our server had a great personality and really added to the enjoyment of our meal. The dining area was clean and comfortable. This is a nice local diner. read more

It's a small establishment - you might miss it if you don't pay attention. However, Rudy's is a nice lil Mom n Pop diner near the river walk. The place has the nicest staff working there! The diner is clean and minimalist on decor. No ratty seats here! Even the bathrooms are spanking clean!! But let's talk about the food!! They are reasonably priced and generous with their portions! All food is cooked to order with fresh ingredients. The Western omelette was so delicious but I could only eat half of it! They make chocolate chip pancakes too - big as a plate!! The Big Guy had one of their burgers with steak fries. He loved it! He also got a salad and mozzarella sticks. All the hot food came to the table fresh off the grill and piping hot! No shyness on flavour either! They play oldies music and the staff join happily in singing while they work. It is such a joy to experience! Our waitress even proactively offered drinks to go!! This place is a real gem! We have already said we will be back! Don't miss out on their daily specials and plenty of options on their menu! Thanks, Rudy's!! read more

We made a stop for breakfast and the food was great! The atmosphere gave a great diner vibe, which was fun!! The service was fast, and the prices were good. We will definitely go back on our next time through!! read more

Your average local diner with all the typical meals you would expect. We were driving through on our way to South Carolina and looking for a place to eat and picked Ruby's. Not their fault, but you basically have to drive through the whole city to get there and traffic was horrible. It's in a small mini mall and parking can be difficult. So, wouldn't recommend if you're just passing through and if you do go bring cash as they up charge 3% if using a credit card. read more
