    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

I had the skirt steak chimi, which came with grilled veggies, hand cut fries, and surprisingly a cup of pasta. While the past was a little overcooked (I'm really weird about al dente), it was cheesy. The grilled veggies could have used a little more seasoning, but very satisfying otherwise. The steak couldn't be cooked to temp because of size, but it was moist and had good flavor. The fries were tasty. A huge amount of food for just under 26 bucks. I also had The Pin Up cocktail (gin, luxardo cherry, pineapple juice, fresh lime, simple syrup) and it was surprisingly refreshing and tasty. My server, Ceasar, as well as the other staff, were attentive and very welcoming. Large menu with apps (fries with Korean chili sauce, drips, loaded potato croquettes, egg rolls), salads (chicken, beef/Mexican, caesar, Cobb), and burgers (beef, bison, and elk). They also have chicken sandwiches and a veggie burger. For entrees they have quesadillas, rigatoni, salmon, various bowls (beef, shrimp, fish). And a whole grill section (my chimi steak, surf and turf fajita tacos, chicken skewers, ribeye, pork chops. Their brunch looks really tasty too, with deviled eggs, salads, burritos, steak and eggs, French toast, and some wicked looking cocktails (I could drool over the aqua Fresca mimosa (flavors include strawberry basil, cherry limeade, lemon cucumber, and honey peach). Parking is a really big pain, but it's that way everywhere in downtown Clarksville. There is a cheap pay lot a few hundred feet down the road. Glad I tried this place as part of my self care day, and will definitely be back to try more.

So, be aware that things may have changed (most things do), but as of 12/2023, my wife and I *really* liked our meal here. We started with compimentary Croissants with Honey Butter (way to butter us up!). Delicious! For an appetizer, we had the Fried Cheese Curds, which may be the best we've ever had. For my main, I had the Chicken Pot Pie. Although it did not have a bottom crust, it might also be the best CPP I've had. With that, I had the salad with blue cheese dressing, also faultless. My wife ordered the Rib Eye, which, unfortunately, was tough. So if this were her review, it probably would have had fewer stars. You *really* don't expect Rib Eye to be tough. With it, she had the Loaded Baked Potato, which was perfectly cooked, and Coleslaw, which was very nice. Very good service helped us enjoy our experience. I found the restaurant to be a bit loud, but not overly. So why haven't we been back in two years? I really have no idea. But this "blast from the past" has reminded me that we need to go back and have another great meal.

Friend ordered a salad with chicken. No dressing given. After asking, he finally got it ten minutes later. What a total waste of an evening. LEFT HUNGRY.
