The sandwich was huge and delicious. Sweet potato fries were good just a little over cooked. Service was quick and efficient. You order via QR and food comes quickly after, then you can check out quickly on the website. The ambiance was of a typical bar setting. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick snack. We shared a Detroit style pizza and some mozzarella sticks. At first the service wasn't great but I can attribute that to staff turnover over time and them being very busy at the time. By the time we were ready to order they were happy to serve us. They also offered some local THC products life prerolls and brownies. The food pictured Feb my husband and I for two meals; great portions! During the time we were there, children were filtering in and out from the upstairs area. We learned that they were performing a school of rock showcase! How cool. They were upstairs so we could just barely hear but overheard some students p jamming out! We highly recommend this sports bar read more

We were looking to try Gold Tooth Tony's and I guess they partnered with Rudyard's to serve it at their bar? Fairly confusing at first when we were looking for where to go. Anyways, this is a dive bar located on Waugh next to Al's Quick Stop. Parking was available in a small lot across the street. The bar itself was definitely fairly dated; you ordered at the bar and staff brought food to you. They had a bar menu and a pizza menu; we got a steak finger basket and two Detroit style pizzas. The steak fingers were alright... not much meat, a lot of breading. The waffle fries were crispy. The gravy wasn't great, super buttery. The Detroit style pizzas were alright. The crust was nice and thick; but there were either too little or too much toppings. When there were too much toppings, the crust got soggy from the juice. Wasn't too impressed with what we ordered but might have to try the other items on their menu in the future. read more

I came here to check out the comedy club upstairs and had a great time overall. The service was friendly and attentive. The menu was a bit limited but had a few options. I ordered the pizza and was pleasantly surprised, it was actually pretty good. Drinks were moderately priced, which is always a win. I'm definitely planning to come back and explore the downstairs bar, it has that gritty dive bar vibe that could be fun, especially with the extra space if things upstairs get crowded. Bonus points for parking! There's a lot out back with mostly free spaces. A few are paid, but if you get here early, you should be able to snag one without any trouble. read more

Clearly the best spot in town! The food is absolutely scrumptious. The staff is always quick with the orders, and prices are reasonable. The adjoining game room is great for fun events. If you're looking for good vibe in the Montrose district, then Rudz is the place to be. read more

We love Rudyard's. We have since we moved back 7 years ago. Even through COVID grabbing take out. The Detroit pizza is the best pizza in Houston. I will miss the Compote. Gay Filet Chicken sandwich is fantastic. Very crispy. Atmosphere is vintage bar with darts and live events upstairs. Need something, go to the bar. Never change. read more

Love the vibe here! It's such a fun, laid-back spot with that perfect dive bar feel -- but clean and comfortable. Great place to hang out with friends, grab a drink, and enjoy the easygoing atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Great tap list! It's a shame Jessa the bartender has a huge attitude problem. I was looking forward to having a nice spot with good cold drinks but this woman is beyond abrasive. At 5:59 we tried to get one last beer in for happy hour and as the clock turned 6:00 we asked if happy hour prices are still valid and she scowled as she said "NOPE!" I would have bought another round or two had we not been treated like sh!t. Plenty of other options in the neighborhood. Sorry to have inconvenienced you by showing up, Jessa! Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because the beer selection *is* legit. Maybe Jessa should go to the vending machine and get some gummies to mellow out a bit. read more

Pizza was horrible here. Not sure if the bellaire or heights locations are any different? Detroit style pizza wasn't even close. Way too salty and only regular pepperoni not old world cupped. Ordered delivery to hospital in med center Jets pizza is far better is yours looking fir good Detroit style pizza read more

Can i just say YUM Parking is across the street - so no issue there. And you grab a menu and order at the bar. They will bring out your food, so order and snag a table. We loved the Detroit pizza - gooey cheesy yummy goodness. Just order it. Tried the Old Fashioned and some No Label beers. Loved it all. Can't wait to go back. read more

Attended for a comedy event and this was my first time visiting Rudyard's. I walked in and downstairs was hosting a trivia night and upstairs was the comedy show. Must say, this is your typical hole in the wall location. (well that is the vibe you will get). I did not order food as I was unsure if food was available but they did have a full menu available. I ordered drinks and they are moderately priced (a bit up there given the location). But overall enjoyed the comedy show! read more

I've been here several times over the years. The tater tots are a classic. Food is decent for bar food. I like the low-key atmosphere. You can play darts or shuffle board with friends and there are a lot of interesting events upstairs. Would recommend! read more

Man, I hate to be writing this review because I thought this place was pretty cool. I went here for a comedy show a few weeks ago and hate a great time. Today I ordered their Gay-Fil-A because I love a good chicken sandwich and I love supporting businesses that support the lgbtq community in some way. I'd heard great things about it so I thought I'd finally try it. So I ordered it from Uber Eats. The food arrives on time, I open it up because I'm super excited to try this sandwich. When I tell you I was stunned at what when in the box omfg. Not only did I receive a partially incorrect order but my sandwich was not even WARM, it was BURNT, the bread was SOGGY, and it looked like somebody SAT ON IT. It looked so gross that I didn't even take a bite and lost my appetite. To claim to make a sandwich that competes with Chick-Fil-A without the "homophobia" and then to send out something that disgusting to a customer trying to support your business is just down right disrespectful. Turns out your Gay-Fil-A is not something you all care about at all. Thankfully I got a refund from Uber Eats. I will definitely not be giving you all my business ever again read more

The food wasn't all that, the Margherita pizza lacked flavor and no fresh basil. The Detroit style pizza was ok, lacked flavor as well. The server was blah and didn't show any enthusiasm when greeting patrons. The ambiance was that of a cheers bar scene. Nothing special read more

We went to Rudyard's a few weeks back because of the Game of Thrones watch party advertised online. It's a super chill vibe and quite possibly the best little pub I've been to in Houston. Not a fancy place, but I can promise you won't be disappointed by the food. Food and drink orders are taken at the bar; servers will bring your food to the table once it's ready. We tried the garlic hot dog and two different pizzas. Both pizza styles they serve are delicious but the Detroit style is WOW! Highly recommend the traditional-ish and Gains Bro pizzas. Looking forward to our next visit read more

*Discriminatory establishment* I have been here countless times throughout the day to pickup togo orders for myself and have had zero issues with the bartenders. However, I went for the first time at night and had a completely different experience. I walked up to the bar and there were no other customers wanting to be serviced. The lady bartender still did not come my way. I waited. Two minutes later, three gentlemen walked up to the bar and immediately they were serviced. I had to get the bartender's attention just so I can give them my name for my order. I'm highly compelled to believe that if I was of another race or gender there would not have been a problem. I waited over five minutes to be serviced at a bar that was empty when I arrived. Highly unacceptable! read more

Soooo...I believe if you "DO IT" & proud of what you do...then it's "OK" to talk about it.‍ We to Rudyard's for a "PIZZA" and Rissa Scott wanted a "RED WINE". All they had they had was "CANNED" Red Wine...the issue...why "DA FUCK" is a "CANNED WINE" is $13.00???!! #WTF The 4 pack if $19.00!! You charging $13 for 1 can of cheap red wine from a $19.00 4-PACK!!?? First question that comes to mind is are you "OVER-CHARGING" certain ethnic groups more than others?? (Mind you, the pizza is $14.00!!) read more

anniversary.this year. Rudyard's hosts special event. The service is prompt and friendly. The crowd diverse and welcoming. It is a community. Wide selection of beers you will not available anywhere elsewhere. Craft cocktails Rudz is also a Gastropub with great food . Always great vegan options.an eclectic menu that changes the a of monthly. If you're not a drinker the food is worth the trip. I had pasta primavera which was as good as any I have ever had to include Rome. And Bensonhurst. Served with a garlic and olive oil sauce which was flavorful. It was also vegan. The chicken and dumplings come in broth to preserve constancy. It is also a great venue. Do not pass up this Montrose legend read more

It was lunchtime. I walked in and sat down at a table. Picked up a menu and started looking at it. There was a waitress walking around and a bartender behind the bar. Only one other person in the entire place and she was on her phone. I sat there for 16 minutes and nobody acknowledged me or even said hello so I left. Maybe it's a sign that the food was gonna suck or I was gonna get food poisoning? Just thought it was odd. I'll never go back there, that's for sure. read more

So the food was phenomenal...like the best burger I've ever had in my life, they have a cool vibe going although it seems like thats a result of the regulars who have all the personality because it's definitely not the most sexist and extremely disgustingly rude staff in houston that they seem to exclusively employ....like these people love to treat customers like the scum of the earth from what I have seen in the past week of living near them, and going daily after work for happy hour, at least from the conversations ive had with many regulars about their experiences here as well as what I personally witnessed within the week. Yesterday I was there and was sitting right by this girl who ordered a drink, got the worst attitude by one of the male staff (I wont repeat what he said to her cause it actually hurt my feelings on her behalf), SHE apologized and left the establishment crying! Literally crying as she walked out the door! It was so sad to witness and even sadder to hear that a majority of the female regulars feel slighted by the staff as often as it seems to happen.. I feel bad for even writing this because the food was truly great and they have extremely reasonable prices...yet I cannot make any reason to want to tip these people or spend a dime here if they just want to throw your drinks and food at you amidst barking and the personal insults I witnessed and heard the bartenders muttering about people that seemed to be paying their bills. I moved in around the corner and this place is just...uncomfortable to want to be in. I don't know if ill be coming back but like I said, I just moved into this neighborhood so if it doesn't improve I guess Id rather buy beer at home... read more

Went to a show there last night and big rats and mice were running all over the beams above us. Absolutely awful.

Called because I was missing two items with a pizza order and " Damien" not sure of the spelling and I really don't give a f***... he was extremely rude and immature about the whole conversation...this individual should have no place working in the service industry... oh and I almost forgot, he claimed to be the manager hahah what a joke! Pizza sucks here and so does the customer service obviously. read more

Friendly, relaxing, fun crowd. Music is maintained at an energetic but "not-too-loud" volume. Bartenders are fast, friendly, and efficient. Treat yourself and order a "DETROIT STYLE" pizza from the "GOLD TOOTH TONY'S" menu. One of the best pizzas in Houston! read more

I've been coming here for years, and it's one of my go to bars, especially since my friend lives around the corner. It's what I would call a laid back, small, chill neighborhood bar, a real contrast to the ever growing crowded Montrose cocktail bars nearby. With the more recent change of a new chef, menu, and drinks, Rudyards is better than ever. With signature cocktails, beers on tap, cozy patio, games, and nightly events, a lot of friendly people gather here. Monday night's stand up comedy night is always a good time. If you're a fan of darts, they have you covered. If it's chilly, they have a few heat lamps to warm you up. Hope to see you there! read more

Dog friendly on the patio and inside yay! Excellent bar food and free tater tots when you check in on Yelp - double yay! We heard that the Pizzas here are legit awesome but we're not in the mood during our visit. The tater tot baskets are huge and one order will serve at least 4 people. There is street parking and parking across the street. Friendly and accommodating staff that are consistently checking on you for drinks etc. Definitely would return here for a try at the pizza and better Darts! read more

Another weekend, another birthday celebration! Rudz was a great spot for today's casual activities. We were able to have a corner of the pub for our rather large group. There was a corner where I shamelessly failed at darts and the artwork was quirky and fun to look at. The thin crust pizza was a warm and yummy treat. My friends enjoy their pepperoni pie as well! I recommend you try their Espolon Mango Margarita- the tajin rim added a perfect balance to the sweetness of the mango, with just the right amount of alcohol. Our bartender was patient and kind as I explored their menu. Pro tip- come early! There's free parking across the street. read more

The rotating beer selection is great. The food is pretty uniformly outstanding. The regular crowd is terrific. Sometimes, like my last visit a week ago, some of the folks who pass through on the way to the comedy club upset the harmony I typically experience. In this case it was what appeared to be 3 (or at least 2.5) generations of a redneck family who insisted they be admitted to a bar without any ID of any kind. Pappy, who was the spitting image of Uncle Baby Billy from the Gemstones, wore a bright blue blazer over wranglers, and had a ghost white pompadour haircut that in hindsight must've been a hairpiece. He was extremely upset that policy and state agency law were not going to be overlooked by the doorman, and decided that peppering the man with racial slurs was the best shot he had at getting his way. When they were finally convinced they couldn't get in with Uncle Baby Billy's sugar talk, they all angrily shuffled back towards their monster truck to return to Mayberry. When they reached the corner and I suppose felt far enough to avoid a physical confrontation, Uncle Baby Billy shouted "Go [copulate with] yourself, you [copulating][hispanic man]". I don't think there is any place for this type of bologna in public in this day and age. Your kids should be ashamed of you Uncle Baby Billy, and if they aren't, then my suspicion about how poorly you must've raised them is hereby confirmed. Good luck with the carnival life, and Godspeed. Love, Turd Ferguson read more

First time here and I am IMPRESSED. Bar food really shouldn't mean shitty food and they proved that. We were attracted to this place because 1) they do allow dogs and 2) they had some interesting food choices and we were not disappointed. The patty melt was everything you'd wish in one. Our one complaint was that the bread could have been toasted a bit more. However once you take that first bite you don't even think about it because it still had a crispy but soft taste. The tater tots? Probably some of the best around (which goes with their curly fries also). The chicken sandwich has to be the 2nd best one I've had. The first? A place in Arkansas so I'm not able to get it very often. However the sandwich came with TWO chicken patties that were crispy and cooked amazingly. They put a carrot 'slaw' on it almost which was an interesting twist also. The server was very helpful and did an awesome job checking on us since we were the only two people outside. The patio is kind of small and they don't really have many 'tables' out there but don't let that detour you if you want to try their food with your pup. They had fantastic beer selections and a variety of them. There were some items on the menu we were interested in but they had already taken them off and just haven't updated their menu, however I'm eager to go back and try some more! read more

Like other reviewers have said the G eazy looking bartender has the absolute worst attitude problem, I asked a simple question man lost it and snapped at me and idk about y'all but you treat people how you want to be treated so I snapped back, ruined my night, I understand guests tend to be a nuisance at the end of the night but I was DD, sober and trying to be courteous to him. If youre a manager or owner reading this please reassess your bar team they shouldn't be this miserable in treating customers. read more

Walmart version of G Eazy bartender ruined my years of patronage there in one night. This was super unfortunate. My boyfriend mistook a cocktail with a chair for an empty seat and got snapped at and immediately moved. Even after, this angry man with too much hair product said he wouldn't serve us simply based on that. We left promptly because we wanted to respect that of course. This came as a huge shock to me as I've gone to this fine place for years. If you want to visit just beware of this one bartender! He could ruin your whole experience. read more

Great food. I'm an open person - but went in wearing my 'He has Risen Ya'll' Ronks shirts and was thoroughly roast by a few staff members.

Went to this restaurant one weekend. Got there right when it opened on Saturday. No one was in the restaurant so we had the entire place to ourselves. I saw on the menu that there was spaghetti grilled cheese. I was super interested in trying it out because I had never thought of a combination like that. It sounds questionable but also delicious! The first couple of bites weren't bad but as I kept eating it, I wasn't a fan. It has a strange after taste to it that I didn't like. The tater tots were good though! There only seemed to be one person working at that time so the customer service was pretty slow. The food also took a long time to come out. Maybe because it just opened? The drinks were a bit pricey as well and were very small. read more
