I was working late Monday evening so decided to place an order, to go, for dinner. The waitress who took my order over the phone and took my payment was very kind, with a good attitude, and answered the phone in a timely manner. There were a few families enjoying dinner in the restaurant. The atmosphere was clean and pleasant. I ordered the fried chicken dinner with grilled mushrooms and a loaded baked potato. The chicken was a square piece of white meat chicken with no bone. It seemed more like chicken fried chicken with no gravy. I got maybe 1/4 cup of grilled mushrooms if that as seen in the photo. The photo shows my untouched meal. The loaded baked potato, which I paid an extra $2.50 for, had a little shredded cheese and bacon, nothing else. No butter, no sour cream, nothing, just a dry potato with cheese and bacon. They placed 4 packets of ketchup in the bag as well. The food was salted heavily for my taste, the grilled mushrooms more-so than the other food items. I ordered an unsweet tea with this meal and paid $21 and some change. I felt over charged and my meal didn't fit what I expected to received. I would like to add that I have had their breakfast, salads, sandwiches and burgers and they were ALL very good, no complaints, which is why I rated 3 stars. This is the second time I have attempted dinner and have been disappointed. In my opinion, this is more of a breakfast/lunch restaurant. read more

We were just driving through and stopped someone on the street to ask where to eat. He did us good. This was last month but just had to get a review in. This cute little place was great. I ordered Chicken with grilled vegetables. So good , down to last bite. I only wish OKC could learn how to really cook vegetables. All food came out hot with nice service. We will remember this place next trip for sure. read more

Food here is so disappointing. This place continues to go down hill. Service was decent and the owner is friendly byt not accomodating. he inside has a disgusting smell. Do not receommend. There are two other restaurants near this one. Would reccomend either one. read more

Have stopped here twice now. The first time was a little chaotic with my 2 oldest kids. We waited forever for our food to come out and was a little disappointed but the food was phenomenal! I decided to stop in for breakfast this week and let me tell you that they made up for it and then some with the great service! Only complaint was they brought our A1 sauce! Lol. Never need that on a well cooked steak! This place will definitely be one of my go to spots whenever I'm in town for one of the houses we are building for a client in the area! I absolutely love the interior look of this place with the old brick being exposed and the wood paneling everywhere! This is a great place you'll need to try out for breakfast lunch or supper! I've now had the chicken fried steak which was great and the steak and eggs for breakfast which was even better! The biscuits are huge and taste great with their gravy they make! Bacon was crispy! Hashbrowns cooked to perfection! Steak Rare exactly how I asked! Eggs were perfect! If you're looking to fill your belly then look no further! Stop in and get you a bite to eat! read more

Ruger's Grill - Steak & Eggs Breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

The toast wasn't toasted. The margarine was a lump in the center. The fried egg was ordered over medium and it was served over easy. Bacon was not even warm and most likely was cooked ahead of time and not warmed up. The hash browns were ok. Very small portions. 5 bucks for two slices of bacon. Two stars only because the server was nice. read more

Had a Philly cheesesteak and fries. Not the the typical size sandwich that you would expect. Not too many fries. At the bottom of the listed beverages, it states No Refills. I don't intend to return as there are plenty of other restaurants in Polk County that know how a sandwich should be! read more

The food was fair. We ordered right away. After 45 minutes, no food, I was ready to leave and I said so. The wait staff said they had received a large order just as we arrived. We did not order complicated food. I ordered a spinach salad with grilled chicken and my frIend ordered a sandwich. They apologized and said they would discount our tab of about $35.00. By the time we got our food, a full hour had passed. They discounted us $3.00. Big deal. This place is scratched off my list forever or until I hear they have a new owner. read more

Really dont know, we never got our food. It was meatloaf monday, after an hour we saw people walking out, we asked our several and she said "I have no idea what's going on" the cook must of walked out because nobody was getting food and the two servers had no clue. They were really nice about keeping all of our drinks full the whole time we waited, after another couple left we decided to follow and it looked like everyone else followed. Maybe someday soon we will try again. read more

We eat out a lot and I was super impressed with the food here. For beginners the staff was very friendly, and we were greeted as soon as we came in the door. The food was outstanding. I ordered fried chicken tenders with grilled mushrooms and green beans. The vegetables looked and tasted like they were fresh out of the garden and the seasoning was perfect. The tenders were homemade, not frozen. The prices were excellent especially considering the quality of the food. The ambiance was a perfect rustic warehouse look. I'd give five stars out of fr r! read more

Carol and I eat there at least once a month and get various meals each time. Yesterday, it was shrimp and fish for me and catfish for her. It was cooked and seasoned nicely as were our sides. The server was friendly without being over attentive. The ambiance is nice with old pictures of Sallisaw on the old rock walls. I was lucky this time as I got to watch a train roll through across the road. read more

The service was impeccable. Rachel was our server. The food was mediocre but great for a diner. Over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. Hashbrowns were hot and crispy. Gravy was good. Biscuit tasted good but was cold. Sausage was hot and tasty. The coffee was super weak, more like hot water. Very inexpensive. read more

Ruger's Grill - Sausage and egg breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Server No idea. Never said her name. Never said anything to indicate that she was glad we stopped by. In fact this older gal seemed to almost have an attitude. Other customers called her "Grace". Ambiance This place is tucked on the back side of sallisaw and has a good reputation. It's a typical greasy spoon with the table (or three) of old guys sitting and spreading the days gossip. Food The vegetable omelet was good. The 2 egg breakfast that I got was not good. The hashbrowns were not cooked through out. The sausage was In no way cooked like I would prefer... cooked. Picking it out was the best choice. It would however, be unfair to note. They have very good coffee. As was the biscuit n gravy. Overall It's kinda disappointing. A place with such a history and reputation putting out food like this is very discouraging. Military Yes read more

One of the best dinners I've had in a while from a restaurant. Wasn't a fan of porkchops but tonight Rugers changed my mind. I had a grilled porkchop, mash potatoes, slice of toasted bread and fries. It was heavenly. Even gave me energy to get a workout in and brain power to finish my online courses! read more

Get off I-40 and treat yourself at this diner! Garden fresh salad and crispy croutons. The grilled cheese sandwich is made with two cheeses--one yellow and the other white. The twice baked potato soup was fabulous! Great service and speedy delivery from the kitchen! read more

We stopped to eat here going through the town and loved it so much we stopped coming back through the town 4 days later. The food was very good, staff very friendly, establishment was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend eating there and will make arrangements to eat there again anytime we pass through that town. read more

Great hometown place. Staff was friendly and informative. We ordered the chicken fried steak for breakfast and it was a huge serving, enough for 2 of us to eat. It was homemade , dipped/breaded in house and so.e of the best I've tasted in years. It was tender enough to cut with a fork. Definitely a small town gem. read more

This is a perfect place to have a party! They have such a neat room you can rent for only $40. The brick walls look neat and they have fixed it up with nice wood topped tables and black legs and some Edison lights. Love it we rented it for a baby shower. On the other hand, My burger was absolutely disgusting it was so pink and cool in the middle I was partly afraid to eat it. The bottom of the bun was completely soggy like it had got soaked in water somehow. It makes me feel sick to think about it! Lol. It was the worst burger I have ever had hands down. But I will say we had a big party and I'm sure they were overwhelmed with all of the orders. Still a terrible burger. read more

Good breakfast and friendly service. Passing through and needed a good fashion breakfast.

Atmosphere 5 Belly rubs App size 4 Belly rubs App taste 4 Belly rubs Entree size 5 Belly rubs Entree taste 5 Belly rubs Waiting: 5 Belly rubs Service 5 Belly rubs Cleanliness 5 Belly rubs Overall 4.75 Belly rubs Walked in with no waiting, but only a few tables were empty. The atmosphere was down home, hole in the wall restaurant and we loved it. The waitress was fast and friendly and my tea was never empty, no matter how busy they got. The food, Hamburgers, Chicken, and i had wings, was spot on. The size on my boneless wings was supposed to be 6, but i bet i had double that. Same way with the appetizer - Bacon Gouda Cheese balls. Everything had great flavor! Thank you for a good meal! read more

Great service and delicious food in a comfortable little restaurant. I had an amazing grilled pork chop that was perfectly seasoned. My husband had a whole ham dinner which was so large we both enjoyed the leftovers the next morning at breakfast. Great place to stop if you are in Sallisaw! read more

I loved it. Excellent food and staff!. I would eat here again if passing through my family said it's the best in Sallisaw

Best chicken fried steak I've had in Oklahoma! The ladies working were amazing each time I went in. Breakfast was amazing. Lunch was fabulous. They nailed it! I'm back in Oregon and missing your food daily!! read more

Good breakfast and good atmosphere good service I would definitely go back. I believe they even have chocolate gravy which is hard to find anywhere. read more

A bit expensive, but not out of the right price range, it's just at the upper end of prices for the area, because it's definitely one of the better eateries in the area. Very good food, service can be a bit slow, but I blame current economy. It is not only affecting the ability to hire, but with inflation, I think it's to blame for the prices, too. I'll certainly be back. read more

Service was excellent. All of us got something different and everyone liked what they ordered.

Good food and good service Try it you'll like it. Nestled in downtown Salisaw. read more

Ruger's Grill - Smothered Chicken (minus veggies) + Two Sides - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Locally owned. Buy people in the area. So seems that they do their best to welcome people from the area. And anybody that's not. They'll know right off the bat. They try to give you that warm welcome as well. Customer service is everything. Steaks are good. Breakfast omelettes are good. I would recommend this place.for sure . read more

Better then you normal diner. Food is consistent and service is a little irregular depending on the time day.

Where do I start.... After walking in and having our order taken in a timely manner we waited... and waited ... and waited for our food. There were only 3 other tables with patrons , waiting 30 minutes for food should not have taken this long. We ordered chicken strips and the mushroom Swiss with onion rings. The chicken strips were so over cooked the tips were black and the onion rings cold, the burgers was ok. Not once did our server come back to ask if we needed anything or our drinks filled. I went to use the restroom , there was a garbage can under the sink to catch water from a leak. Ok, I get things leak BUT the garbage was full of water and gross stuff, the leak was just a drip...This tells me who ever cleans the bathroom doesn't dump the water, it just sit there stagnant. I understand this is a small town restaurant and maybe this is all the locals have to choose from, but the staff on duty this Saturday afternoon did not leave a good impression. I feel like I completely wasted $25 read more

Tea is still good and great service with a smile. Like all new things, the shiney has worn down, some fave dishes gone. Quite ordinary now:/

I stop by Sallisaw every 3 months and I found this place! Great location, food and service. I would recommend and will be back! read more

Ruger's Grill - Spaghetti and meatball special for $6.99! Yes please! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

When you walk in the place smells so sour almost like pee I almost threw up. I went to the bathroom first thing and it looks and smells like it hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. took about 10 minutes for someone to actually come to our table with menus. Ordered the fried pickle, onions and jalapeños for the appetizer and it was actually very good. Me and my boyfriend both ordered the special of the night which was a steak with shrimp, baked potato and salad. the salad tasted old, almost like it had sat out all day. the baked pot was cooked all the way so you couldn't even eat it. The shrimp was great and lastly the steak.. the steak was so hard to chew it was like chewing on a plastic dog toy. no flavor at all hard and some parts were burnt. 10/10 do not recommend this place at all. The waitresses were nice once they made their way over to us. read more

Good food. There grilled mushrooms are fantastic. Nice selection of sides. One of the better places in town.

Much enjoyed dinner here while on an extended motorcycle road-trip. The restaurant was clean and well-organized, staff friendly and attentive, and the food great! In fact, I liked Ruger's much better than the experience I had at the famous, and much pricier, Cattlemen's Cafe in OkC. I started with a cup of house-made tomato Florentine soup and without hesitation accommodated my request for a small spinach strawberry salad instead of the house salad. The ribeye steak was expertly prepared with a good sear on both sides and came paired with a baked potato with real butter. Perfect! read more

For small town dining options it is a nice break out spot, great service, always with a smile

My husband had chicken fried steal dinner and I had their Valentines Day special of steak and lobster. The chicken fried steak was the best we've found since Miss Lily's closed. We've searched disappointedly since then. My steak was cooked just right though it had a little grizzle in it. The lobster was scrumptious. It was great being able to find a place that was serving steak let alone lobster on Valentines Day evening by just calling and not having to go to Ft Smith. We look forward to going again next year AND before that to have their chicken fried steak again. And it was so big he took half home!!! Oh, I forgot, their caramel browning is to die for, and get it with ice cream!!! read more
