Great local place to get good home cooked meals from breakfast to dinner. Very reasonable prices. Servers are always friendly and busy. Can get a bit noisy when packed but well worth it! read more

Amazing food! The atmosphere was just like going back home to my hometown little diner when I was a teenager! Super sweet and nice staff! Cheap meals! But high quality and great quantity! The BLFG Sandwich and Fried Pickles are Fatboy Approved!!! read more

Run, don't walk to Rudy's for the fried catfish! Best catfish I've had in years! Fried Chicken Livers were perfect. Great meat and three style home cooked sides. We had collards, turnip greens, mayo slaw, white beans, squash casserole and baby limas and hush puppies - all excellent. Coconut cake was terrific. Service is friendly and efficient. We went and Saturday night and it was so good we returned the next day for lunch. read more

Rudy's is a cool diner on the downtown square in Murray. I introduced an old friend to Rudy's today. The service was quick and the meat and 3 were good. But the temperature in the restaurant was cold (and I'm rarely cold). Outside was a beautiful 70 degrees. It was cold enough that my food got cold before I could eat it. After the cool lunch I decided to check out the restroom. My surprise- upstairs, way upstairs. My friend realized and decided to wait because she can't do stairs very well. Old building charm - but that's really tough for some people. May be my last visit to Rudy's. read more

We eat there at least twice a week , never had a bad meal yet . Always greeted with a hello and a smile .

We were looking for a place for breakfast in Murray, KY, and we didn't really want to go to Cracker Barrel. Passed by this diner on the town square and decided to give it try. Wow! I know why they've been in business since 1936! It was a small, rather crowded and busy space, but we found a space at the counter next to the pickup window. The food was being turned out quickly, and I took a peek in the kitchen, only to see 5 people working as a well oiled machine. We ordered our food, and a local sat down next to us. Apparently he knew everyone behind the counter. It was a very small town feel with a vintage diner vibe. Our meals came and I think that was the first Western omelette I ever had that had more fillings than eggs. Everything was delicious, particularly the coffee. If you're in Murray you should check it out! read more

Great portions, tasty food and friendly staff. I ordered the fried seafood platter, which was delicious. There was definitely no way I was going to finish it all! read more

Great little meat and three place! Try the chocolate meringue pie! Home town service in a cute little square!

Amazing breakfast with delicious, salty country ham. Staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. Friday catfish fish-fry is the deal of the century. Go with what all the locals apparently already know and head to Rudy's. read more

Was traveling through Murray and stopped the night before to rest. Wanted a greasy spoon for breakfast, found it on the Square. People complaining about this place are no fun at parties, I can assure you of that. Even though it was busy at 9am Sunday morning, we found seats no problem and the service was attentive. Seemed like a good value for the money, and the food was decent. Staff were friendly too. Probably stop back through in the future. read more

A good, old-fashioned meat and three. Not fast food, but worth the wait. Friendly servers food is really good too.

My daughter (MSU student) and I eat here when I'm in town. We both love that they serve breakfast food all day. Service isn't fast but that's ok. We enjoy the atmosphere of friends catching up. Always yummy food to try and different pies. read more

It was good, but I expected better. The gizzards were a little salty for me. The stewed cabbage and potato salad were delicious. I expected the pies to be the best being in the south and they were just mediocre. Not bad but not great. I would still eat here and try other things. It's still good. read more

Rudy's is absolutely amazing! Their food is by far the best in town and with it being the oldest restaurant in Murray there is definitely a down home old country vibe going on. Our server was Morgan and we couldn't have asked for a better waitress. She was on top of everything and we didn't want for anything the whole time we were there. She definitely will make you feel right at home, all other staff were very pleasant also. read more

Excellent breakfast at this lovely diner on the square. It has been nicely remodeled, so you don't realize it has been here for so long. The service is excellent. read more

This place is delicious, affordable and has a lot of character. Been there twice and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend

Okay breakfast, but nothing spectacular. My hashbrowns were weird- they looked like a pile of potato shreds and weren't browned and crispy. Wait staff wasn't friendly at all, but they did their job. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend? Perhaps, but with reservations. read more

Awesome breakfast like Mom, grandmothers, and aunts used to cook. Highly recommend if you want to a good "home cooked" breakfast!

Food is always good. Just like your Momma/Grandmother made it. No complaints about service. Much better than most places. Ambiance is like coming home or going back to childhood memories. read more

So deliciously good. takes all the best lunch foods and makes them a little bit better. highly recommend the onion rings and bacon lettuce fried green tomato sandwich read more

Okay for breakfast this place is always 5/5 Star good! Eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, grits, and toast - all for a great price. I have been here multiple times for breakfast and always had a great meal. Dinner is okay, I can think of other local places I'd rather go for dinner. read more

Rudy's is awesome! It's a classic local spot with quick service and great food. Started going to school here a little over a year ago and Rudy's quickly became a favorite! The ambiance is very laid back and inviting; you walk in and seat yourself. read more

Always good food and friendly staff Rudy's has good home cooking. Best fried fish in town.

it is amazing! not only is the service good so is the delicious food! Personally, I order the Philly cheese stake every time I come! it's addicting! I also really like their specials like taco night and fish night etc. The place was beautiful and so clean! I really enjoyed the prices as well! it's affordable and delicious! It's definitely a five-star restaurant! As soon as you walk in the doors the place feels like home, it's really a warm and welcoming place! they definitely care about their customers and the owner is so kind! pam really knows her customers! i definitely recommend coming to the restaurant you won't regret it! the only fault about the place is it's too far from my house! I wish I could live there! read more

Great country cooking! Great weight staff. A Murray tradition. Recently been remodeled with new floors and seating.

Great fried chicken and fish. Green beans are excellent in my book as well as the tomato relish and the onion rings are super. You can't go wrong with their homemade desserts read more

Great Breakfast and my coffee was like in the bottomless cup, the girls waiting tables didn't keep us waiting. They offered deep fried or skillet cooked home fried potato's, would you like onions cooked with them ? Well, YES I would, thank you ! Right on the Town Square of Murray, KY. When in Murray, it's a good way to start your day ! read more

Rudys on the Square - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Murray, Kentucky

First time, and the last. I ordered pancakes for my kids and French toast for myself. When the pancakes got to the table they were so tough, like they were made yesterday and microwaved. The French toast wasn't even brown, and it was so tough you had to rip it apart instead of cutting it. I was really looking forward to brunch, and this place let me down faster than McDonald's would've. Missing half the food, and the food we got was terrible. Needless to say, just go somewhere else. read more

Rudys on the Square - Microwaved pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Murray, Kentucky

Ms. Jones and Mr. Rock Star decided to swing by Rudy's this afternoon for a very late lunch. Rudy's is the perfect restaurant for Murray's charming town square--red booths, baskets of jams & jellies (when was the last time you saw that??) and enough kitsch on the walls to make it endearing rather than annoying. A solid diner menu that highlights southern dishes...but on this mid-Fall afternoon, the lovely Ms. Jones and handsome Mr. Rock Star opted for their cheeseburgers. A tasty basket of a delicious burger and perfectly cooked fries didn't disappoint. Prices are very reasonable, and the service was outstanding. Ms. Jones enjoyed Rudy's so much she plans to try it for breakfast one morning as the locals say it can't be beat. If it's anything like the lunch we enjoyed today, we are looking forward to it. Thank you Rudy's. read more

They are very customer friendly. Fast service and with covid issue they are doing a wonderful job.

Absolutely the best food in town, always a great to my daughter and I. We love the staff and Pam's cooking!

If you're looking for food that's just ok, this is your spot. If nothing else is open, this is your spot. If you have no place else to be, this is your spot. Came in, ordered hot tea, chicken soup and a grilled cheese. My partner ordered the meat and three. It took us over 40 minutes to get our food, to the point where we were ready to walk out when the food finally showed up. Never was asked if we want more tea until the food came. Soup was ok. Grilled cheese looked like bunny bread with a slice of American. Let's just say we won't be back. read more

Great hometown experience. Staff was very friendly. Omelettes were good and fluffy. Will be back when in town. Went on a Saturday and got to experience the farmers market. read more

Great little home style restaurant! Staff is super friendly Food is super fresh hot and tasty And if you get pancakes only get one they are massive!!! read more

I caught them on a bad day. Two people working has to suck, they were really behind. I didn't get to pick which sides I wanted when they were out of what I wanted not the best. Livers were good would get just the livers again. read more

I've eaten here several times. It's a great family restaurant and the best for local dining.

Just left from having the greatest breakfast. They were super busy but treated you like their only customer. The waitresses all worked together. It really was amazing. Thanks for the wonderful breakfast. read more

Updated review - under new ownership now. Ordered the 1/3 pound burger with fries and it was awesome. Service was fast, drinks were always filled, couldn't ask for more! Had bacon on the burger and it was nice and thick. Overall, an awesome place to eat in Murray! read more

We just moved to Murray and wanted to try something new. Upon walking in, you can tell that it calls to an older crowd. No one seated us or welcomed us. The food was okay, but I wish it was cleaner. When I picked up a biscuit off my plate I saw ketchup smears from the last person who used the plate. Not to mention one biscuit with a small bowl of gravy was $4. read more
