Celebrated some birthdays ( Aunt turned 89) and Bruce was kind enough to have him use the restaurant for 50 plus people ... it was amazing ... the perfect backdrop for such an event and the food was yummy and of course the staff was 10 plus attentive and accommodating ... Huhma the manager was there and made sure everyone had the perfect time !!!
A friend of our recommended Ruggles Black and said we needed to try it. It did not disappoint, they are a Paleo and Keto restaurant and their menu is plenty long. We made reservations for a Friday, reservations preferred but not required. When we went they had plenty of tables open, both indoor and out doors. Casual chic is the vibe but I noticed not a strict dress code which is nice. Some stand out dishes were the Paleo Angry Shrimp, the Stuffed Goat Chicken, and the Pork Chop. We also ended with the carrot cake and omg it was just incredible. We will be back just to try more items on the menu!
Excellent meal! Everything was deliciously fresh and packed with flavor. The service was a little slow, but once things got going, it was good. Shoutout to Ashley for ensuring we were taken care of. Even the chef was on the floor directing patrons to their seats. And the dessert board?! To die for! Ask to see it, even if you're only contemplating it. Great experience, we plan to refer and return!
I'm celiac, and honestly think that this was the best, most delicious gluten free, celiac-safe restaurant food I've ever eaten. Antonio was wonderful, and provided such reassurance and detail about our food choices, plus he was such a joy. We ordered the short rib pizza, lamb burger, mushroom soup, and chips and queso. Would all highly recommend.
Food was amazing! Staff was incredibly kind! The chef came out and dpoke to us! We shared we had our first date at the original Ruggles in the Montrose area!
My first time returning back to this place in a while. Met a friend for HRW. I see they moved locations from down the street off the freeway. The hostess told me they moved locations to this one 3 years ago. I also inquired on what happened to Ruggles on the Green. She states those turned in to Bella green (or Sweet Green). Parking- is valet only. No self park option. But maybe you could find something down the street or in a neighborhood? They have regular parking for $5, and VIP parking for $10. Still unclear on the difference of the two besides the $$. The decor was cute, nicely designed for an elevated look. It's divided between bar seating with natural sunlight. And the dinning area more moody and dim with chandeliers all over. Service - was amazing thanks to Jose! 5 stars on him. He anticipated our needs, was warm friendly and provided excellent service. Please give this man a raise! Food- First course was there tomatoe basil bisque. I love soup, and gobbled this down in minutes. I liked the blanched carrots as a topping of the soup. Was very tasty. My main entree was the Chilean Sea Bass with mixed veg. Came out hot hot hot and good. Last was the keto lemon cheesecake. I was pretty full from the soup and the sea bass. But somehow I rationalized that the cheesecake was too small of a piece to take home, so just decided to eat it there. I left stuffed! We stayed there late and they never rushed us out. Thank you Ruggles!
I came for HRW and, unfortunately, was not very impressed by the food. I will preface by saying that I did not come in knowing that the restaurant was a health-conscious establishment. I appreciated the numerous paleo and keto options available for individuals with dietary restrictions, as well as the extensive HRW menu. However, the healthy substitutes were very noticeable with certain dishes. I shared with a friend and we got the calamari and the paleo short rib taco to start. We got the tandoori pepper crusted grassfed filet mignon with garlic jalepeno chive butter and the fresh made pasta with sausage, chicken, and short rib for our mains. For dessert, we had the paleo lemon cheesecake and the tres leches. The calamari was solid. It was crispy and I liked how it came with 3 different sauces. My favorite was the creamy tartar- like sauce. (6.5/10) The paleo short rib taco was also tasty. Though I was weary about the tortilla substitute, the flavors of the fresh veggies and sauce with the short rib were very nice. My only wish was that the order came with more than one taco. (7/10) The filet mignon was also solid. The meat itself was tender; however, the portion was very small, which was quite noticeable, especially when served on such a large plate. The vegetables on the side also came in such a small portion and were just boiled, so nothing special. The mashed cauliflower had a weird aftertaste and was disappointing to me because I was expecting velvety mashed potatoes. (5.5/10) The pasta was okay. I liked how they included a lot of protein as promised by the name of the dish. However, I did not love the choice of angel hair pasta for this dish, and the tomato sauce was pretty basic. (5/10) The paleo lemon cheesecake was my preferred dessert out of the two. It had a great lemon flavor and was the right balance of sweet and tart. The only thing I didn't love was the coconut cream on top. I'd prefer a normal whipped cream. (6/10) The tres leches was okay. I thought the sponge cake was moist but not soaked in the milk like I'd expect for a tres leches. I was also confused about the sauces that they incorporated on the side of the dish. I didn't feel as though they enhanced the dessert at all. (5/10) Overall, the service was good and the valets were very kind. Parking is valet only, which is a $5 charge. The ambiance is really nice with the dim lighting and chandeliers to give it more of an upscale vibe. Unfortunately, despite the grand looks, the food did not wow me in the same way. Though it was not necessarily my cup of tea, I think it is a good option for those who have dietary restrictions and are looking for a nice place to have dinner.
The ample keto and Paleo menu options caught my attention when I came across Ruggles Black on the Houston Restaurant Week menu and I had to try them out. Upon arrival the valets were super polite and helpful. Walked inside and the hostess was also super sweet. She sat us at our table. Shortly after we were greeted by the very best server, Jose! From start to finish he was so warm, welcoming, calm, polite, helpful, friendly but not too chatty, great at anticipating our needs, knowledgeable about the menu. He was basically perfect and my ideal server. The food was delicious. For my first course I had their tomato basil soup. It was the perfect portion size, super flavorful and just the right temperature, warming me up in the slightly cool restaurant as I sat there in my sleeveless shirt and Bermuda length shorts. My second and main course was their incredible grilled chicken breast with avocado lime cilantro tequila butter. It came with a side of mashed cauliflower and mixed sauteed vegetables. The chicken breast was also a perfect portion, kinda big which is always a lovely surprise during restaurant week. It was so juicy, tender and had so much flavor. The lime cilantro tequila butter was amazing and perfectly complimented the chicken. I dragged some of my veggies and mashed cauliflower in the butter as well and it tasted so good on those too. The best part, the meal had no impact on my glucose at all. It remained in a perfectly healthy range. Well that's until I ate my third course, their delectible white chocolate bread pudding but that was to be expected. The pudding was a smaller portion size for HRW. It was warm and melted in my mouth along with the small ice cream scoop they placed on top. It also came with a strawberry mint garnish that I also gobbled down. All courses of my food were perfect Also the restaurant is beautiful inside. Although they light actual candles at each table and the wax started spilling onto our table during our meal. Pro tip: Stick with the $5 valet parking. There is zero difference between the $5 parking and the $10 VIP parking. I sprang for VIP, while my friend got the $5 parking and they actually parked her car a little closer than mine.
Heard a lot about this place so we were excited to be here. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice. Service was a bit lacking. We were there for lunch, the restaurant is not packed but our servers were definitely not visible when needed. We had a table for 12. When came to food , presentation was Ok but the food was not that great at all. Overall experience was not impressive. By the way, they only have valet parking at the restaurant and it costs $5 during lunch hours. I was told $10 at nite.
Made resy ahead of time and was able to get seated right away. Came during lunch and for their HRW 2025 menu. It is a very healthy restaurant (paleo, gluten free, vegetarian friendly). For HRW, got the Brussels Sprouts (pretty good balsamic flavoring and had some crisp), Chicken Parmesan (pretty average tasting) and the bread pudding (i was most disappointed that they added the strawberry syrup on top of the ice cream instead of on the side as optional). Not busy during lunch time on a friday. Restroom - clean Parking - $6 valet (card) and $5 valet (cash)
DAMNNN. How have I not been here before? I've been cutting added sugar so this was perfect. So many paleo and keto options and the short rib biryani WAS INSANELY GOOD. One of the best dishes I've had at a restaurant ever. It was sweetened with dates and figs and the short rib was a very generous portion and perfectly tender. My mom's curry seafood ramen had an excellent flavor and was loaded with various proteins. The paleo lava cake was delicious as well and the coconut ice cream was the perfect touch- I can't believe it was paleo!! Definitely will be back soon to try the pizzas and pastas! Food came out very quickly as well!
I had been here years ago ( in another location) and enjoyed it but maybe my palette has changed - back this time for a work trip and found it reminded me of wedding food! Lovely service throughout - began with a French75 that was too sweet and not cold enough then we all shared appetizers! They were okay but not fabulous- calamari which is not my favorite dish turned out to be the thing! Had Ahi as my main course - it was okay but the sweet potato slice on the dish was better. As we ended they brought one of those fake dessert trays you used to see at chain restaurants maybe 15 years ago! They had way too many offerings which was reflected in the quality - I got a tiramisu - or at least that was what they called it! It has zero coffee that I could taste and appeared to be a brownie base not ladyfingers and cool whip! Weird and bad! Did not eat it! Not bad, not good but not for me !
We had a really great experience at Ruggles Black. When we walked in, we did not realize how nice the atmosphere would be. It was a wonderful dining experience. The service was excellent and our waiter Lenard gave us all of the great suggestions. The goat cheese salad was phenomenal and was quite filling. The pepporoni pizza was solid but a little bit greasy for my preference. When you go, ask to see the dessert tray and get the Charlotes Web. It was one of the best desserts I have ever had. Note- There is valet at the restaurant for $5. I did not see any self park option.
We pulled up for a coworker's birthday lunch and saw several open parking spaces. We were approached and valet was the only option even though I had already parked my car. They took my key anyway. $5 valet. We were seated immediately with a reservation for 7. Waters were served and orders were taken. The food came out piping hot. It was quite the extensive menu with many healthy options. The decor was on the glam side. The staff was attentive and friendly. Everyone liked their meals. Portions were grand. I ate all of my food with a short lived thought to take half home. Good food experience but not so much with the valet when the guy yelled at me to pay the $5. They moved my car only for me to see that an older car parked where I was originally parked. Did they really have to move my car?! read more

I was really disappointed with how an issue with my meal was handled. I ordered the Baked Goat Cheese Salad and added chicken. When I began eating it, I immediately tasted cilantro on a portion of the chicken. I strongly dislike cilantro and am very familiar with its very distinctive taste, so I sent the dish back. The cilantro itself wasn't even what bothered me most. Mistakes and cross-contact happen in restaurant kitchens. Since I didn't taste it on every piece of chicken, I assumed some of it may simply have been accidentally garnished or come into contact with cilantro. What bothered me was how the chef/owner handled it. He came to my table and proceeded to tell me that what I was tasting wasn't cilantro. He insisted that I was either tasting the microgreens or green onion. I know what cilantro tastes like. I certainly know the difference between cilantro, green onion and microgreens. Instead of simply acknowledging that something could have happened in the kitchen, he spoke to me as though I didn't understand what I was tasting. Eventually, I just agreed with him because I wanted the conversation to end and wanted him away from my table. I wasn't agreeing because I suddenly believed I had mistaken green onion or microgreens for cilantro. I simply had no interest in continuing to argue with the chef/owner over what I had personally tasted in my own food. I have no interest in engaging with a man who acts like that and wants to argue. A much more professional response would have been, "I'm sorry about that. We'll replace it." That would have been the end of the matter. Instead, a minor and completely understandable kitchen mistake became an uncomfortable interaction because of the way it was handled. Food mistakes happen. I don't expect perfection. But I do expect to be treated respectfully rather than patronized and argued with over something as simple as cilantro. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled is what left the lasting impression.Definitely not coming back. This was my third and final visit here. read more

Got to try Ruggles Black this weekend. While we were taken aback at first by the prices, we were impressed when the food actually came out. And also just seeing other people's food around us! They have a separate brunch menu that some of us ordered from. I ended up ordering the traditional eggs Benedict. The cool thing about their eggs Benedict is that it comes with potatoes or gratin as well as asparagus and mashed butternut squash with a cinnamon sweet crumble on top. Very delicious! My friends all enjoyed their meal and we had a great experience. I also got to try one of the mixed drinks which all of the drinks can be made into mocktails. So overall, while it was pricey, they were able to accommodate a big group pretty well. And the food came out delicious! I already have in mind what I want to order next time. read more

Dillon: Sun Tzu once said, "Never order a burger at a non-burger place". After not eating all day, i was really excited to finally have a great meal that i was looking forward to. I got the burger. It came with a fried egg and bacon which are my favorite burger toppings. If nothing else, most restaurants will get this right, it was not very good. I asked for medium rare but the meat was mealy, soggy, and undercooked. The egg was overcooked and cold. The service was pretty mid for such an upscale and expensive place, we were left alone for quite some time. The rating would be lower if not for the outstanding beef empanadas and the paleo chicken wings. Also, I'm glad they use such high quality ingredients and oils. They say hunger is the best spice, but I guess that wasn't on their ingredient list tonight. Aneena: As someone who's not very picky, the burger I was served wasnt the best. The meat wasn't cooked as well as l'd like and the fried egg was far too overcooked and cold. The best parts of my meal were the sweet potato fries that came as a side and the chicken wing appetizer. The venue was beautiful and the service was nice! read more

Ruggles Black has been on my list for a while. Went during lunch on a week day. It was prettt packed during lunch but after the rush it was empty. Parking is Vallet, it's pay what you want ( I suggest at least 5) Service is very good! Our waiter who I cannot for the life of me remember ( young tall white gentleman with blond hair ) very attentive . Helped me pick my food , didn't bother my friend and I , waters always filled. Just great service The ambiance is of course instagramable the spot is small but background is cute for a nice pic with your dinner and friends Calamari was solid - comes with 3 sauces . I only like 1 out of the 3 sauces but your taste may be different Lamb burger - super filling and loved all the toppings I legit was so full. Burger came with sweet potatoes fries - fried and season perfectly Great overall meal read more

The service and the food are exceptional. One of the few restaurants in houston that has such an expensive menu and still manages to make each dish skillfully. The dessert tray is just as versatile and it's made in house. If you want an enjoyable evening out with an upbeat and modern elegant vibe come here! read more

Totally amazing experience. I called ahead of time and they helped me execute an amazing experience for my wife's birthday. Great romantic and dressy type setting with candle lit vibes. You also get an amazing seat to have a Chef's Table type experience where you get to watch the entire team prepare your meals through a glass wall. The Food was top tier, cooked with so much creativity and love. read more

So I went here for late brunch/lunch with a few friends, and it was pretty good. The service wasn't too bad for a not so busy Saturday. The drink that I had (can't remember what I got) was delicious and strong. The steak & eggs that I got was pretty good. Steak was cooked to my liking. The eggs were decent. And the scalloped potatoes were delicious. Definitely recommend trying this place out. read more
Easy five star review! Great service and great food. Nice decor and views too! Food: the empanadas were so dam good! Full of flavor! Each bite was amazing. The angry shrimp were decent. I wish the waitress would have told us the plate was hot. I burned my hand. Come on. Gotta tell client that. Back to the food. The filet mignon steak was probably one of the best filet cuts I've had. I've eaten at all the top steak houses too but somehow this one was just exceptional! The paleo desserts were amazing too We will definitely be back. Management please instruct your waitstaff to let clients know when plates are hot! I burned my hand! read more

Met a family member here for dinner my first time visiting the restaurant my husband and I decided to sit on the patio since it was a warm Houston night. The ambience was amazing. The service was by far the best we've had in a long time and the food I feel like I need to go back and try it three more times we were so pleasantly surprised the drinks were good. The dessert was good. Our meal was great.This will be my first stop next time I'm in Houston read more
The menu had everything you could think of - not sure if that's a good or bad thing. My dish was okay! I asked for a substitute on the spaghetti squash with regular spaghetti, but if not sure if they actually did that. The overall dish was tasty and they had a variety on the drink menu. It was tasty overall and the ambiance is very nice and modern. The only thing that was kinda annoying was parking. The lot is small and there is a valet... you could essentially just walk over to your car, but they drove it to you 5 feet away. read more

What a treat! I'be had this spot bookmarked for a while now, and passed on another occasion due to the valet line being so long. This time, we made a reservation, valet was accessible, things flowed smoothly, and we made the most of our first visit. The flavors are spot on, and RB is a top tier Houston dining experience. Everything is delicious. The fried chicken was moist and the accompanying sauces were perfect. The seafood ramen was delicious also. The empanadas and the butternut squash soup hit the spot as well. All in all-- Ruffles Black was fire and I can wait to return! Note: $5 valet required. Cheers! read more
I've long heard about RB's keto menu and have been meaning to check them out for years. Well, I finally did on a Friday evening with a good friend that used (yes used lol) to be on keto as well. The parking situation is craaazy! I mean cars on top of cars and packed in like sardines. You have to be skinny skinny to be a valet here lol and I see mixed commentary about it being complimentary or $5. Well, it was $5 when we came. Outside of being forced to valet because the parking lot is small, getting here and inside is super convenient. Steven was our server and he was pretty friendly. Everything was all good until it started getting more packed in there. The tables are entirely too close and one side of your table, the separation might as well be nil to the other side. It's literally like those ppl are dining with you! This one lady sat down and was talking loud af so we decided to switch tables. They accommodated the request. Now for food, we ordered the crab tower for appetizer. The initial bite had a weird taste but after mixing, that thing was so damn good; 9/10 definitely would order again! ! My friend and I both ordered pizzas. I ordered the keto CBD supreme and it was 10/10. Very cheesy, lots of meat and other toppings. I can't remember what my friend ordered but she liked it more than mine. So if you've made it this far, you're probably wondering why 3 stars. Well I've already mentioned parking and ambiance. That's a 1/2 star reduction for each, the other comes from the bathroom situation. The toilet was entirely too close to the stall door. You have to maneuver your body to avoid it touching you. Next in literally all the faucets, the water was trickling out. I mean barely anything which almost made me want to leave altogether. Lastly, they didn't have any paper towels in the device. This is a nightmare especially for a germaphobe like myself. That being said, again, the food was delicious. We kept seeing ppl ordering a large variety dessert box which looked delicious. And they do what they have to do for the parking so even though it's a nuisance, at least they're making a way and not forcing patrons to figure it out. Lastly I'm so damn happy I didn't buy one of the condos across the street from Trader Joe's when I was looking cause with that keto menu, I would probably live at RB for dinner, but primarily for take out, chile! read more

What an incredibly delicious and creative menu!! We went with a group of seven and ordered lots of items and they were all really good! The tandoori chicken pizza was the yummiest of the three pizzas we ordered, although my brother loved the short rib pizza. We got two salads that were both delectable. We got the crab tower and a scallop dish - both were fought over for the last bites! Our server Kevin was AMAZING. So friendly and gave great suggestions from the menu. Wonderful meal that kept folks from age 14 to 54 very happy with the food and service. read more

I read that the owner refuses to wear a mask? Is this true?
I hope so. So over this mask BS
Do they have a kids menu/smaller portions available?
No kids menu. Food portions are enough and well balanced. European style and quality. Also good…
Are they requiring rsvp for valentines?
It's Valentine's day. Every place except Burger King will require a reservation
Do they require reservations?
It kind of depends. You should be able to get in no problem with a small (4 or less) party on the week nights. But I'd recommend a reservation for a Friday or Saturday night because they get busy then.
