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!
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!
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)
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.
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!
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!
I must say that the staff was exceptionally helpful in accommodating us for a beautiful bridal shower for our sister today! The patience, customer service, and food were outstanding! Thank you for helping us make this a great celebration for our sister. (PS. If you find a rose gold earring, it's mine.)
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
First time at Ruggles Black. Great lunch menu for Houston Restaurant Week (HRW). Appetizer, entree and dessert for $25. The curried pumpkin butternut squash soup was so delicious. Perfect way to start off a lunch with a friend. The Grilled Seared Indian Spiced Scottish Salmon was amazing. Nice to be able to order how the fish is cooked. I ordered medium and it was perfect. Served on a bed of red quinoa with a medley of carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, asparagus and green beans. The mashed potatoes rounded out a great dish. Large enough to split or take home half for lunch the next day. My friend did not get a HRW menu, but opted for two Keto tacos for $19.95 which she enjoyed. My meal ended with a white chocolate bread pudding topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a side of strawberry sauce. Such a sweet ending to a nice meal. The place is cute with patio dining available when it is not 100F +. Make a reservation on line. Note parking is only by valet and adds $5 to your dining adventure. read more
First time coming here for my friend's BD dinner. When we came they led us to the back corner seats and had us wait for good 15 mins until we finally got to order something. Pretty busy during the weekend. I had a vegan pizza and everyone else got their own foods. My pizza was good! Thin crispy crest with vegan cheese and impossible plant based meat were on top of them. Definitely a high end place and the corner seats were pretty freezing cold! But I enjoyed the vibe and experience tho. Cheers read more
Bachelorette Dinner vibe. I visited Ruggles black for my bachelorette party and my best fried booked a reservation here. I told her I wanted a place that had great food and a nice atmosphere. Yes it was a bchelorette dinner so we wanted something grown and sexy and this place did not disappoint. The service was amazing plus they threw in some freebies for the occasion. The drinks were so good but Lavender Lemonade took the cake! We had some many different drinks but they were all a hit. But let me tell you about those lamb chops, I ate them to the bone. We left so stuffed before we went for a night of turning up. read more
It's a great place. Centrally located, cute, solid service, chef is usually there. Nice patio if the weather is good. Don't care for the forced valet. The best is everyone will find something good to eat there, whether vegan, vegetarian, GF, paleo, and on. And the food is really tasty, although it can be pricy too. Drinks are good and creative. Loved the sangria. read more

The friendly service starts as you pull into Ruggles Black for Valet parking. We haven't dined inside because outdoor/patio is so inviting and comfortable. The inside is charming though and maybe future visit (when weather is bad LOL) we will try inside. The food is served as an art and it shows the chef & team take pride in their creations and appearance. The servers are friendly and willing to check on any questions or changes you request on their menu. Ruggles Black is by far the best all around experience from door service to leaving. We will continue to return for a delicious meal & time. read more

Great experience! This restaurant is a bit more upscale and great for a night out with a lot of options on their menu. They have a lot of "keto" or "paleo" options - not a big fan of those buzz words but it may help folks on certain diets. We got the brussel sprouts and crab tower as appetizers. The brussel sprouts were good (a little salty for me personally) and the crab tower while not original in flavor was very fresh. Portions were decent for the price. I got the short rib taco, my friends got heartier dishes. The taco was good, the slaw cut through the saltiness of the tender short rib but they were very generous with short rib so towards the end, I was just eating meat and wanted a bit more of the slaw. My friend's aioli in his fish and chips was unique and citrusy. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes! The dishes are very pricey but the portions match the price. Ambiance is great. We sat outdoors on their patio and the weather was perfect. The atmosphere inside is moodier and perfect for a date night. I think you definitely pay for atmosphere. Service was very nice and prompt! I just wish we had gotten napkins before our appetizer course. $5 valet, parking is impossible unless you do valet. The food here is solid, won't blow your mind, and you will be paying a bit for the ambiance. read more

Met someone here for a business lunch..........the person I was meeting knew the owner. Parking lot was tight and Valet was only option. It wasn't very busy, but could not imagine what it might be like for a busy dinner time. Wonderful ambiance with some eclectic seating and design........came off to me affectionately as a "girly place." Looking around at lunch crowd mostly women in between personal training sessions and spa treatments. The food was amazing! Angry Shrimp was a favorite, could have done that as an entree, though it was an appetizer. Tandoori Chicken was different from tradition and what made it for me as the sauce. Strawberry Cheesecake was delightful, creamy smooth and tasty. Since my companion did know the owner we got the VIP experience including her attention. Service was attentive, prompt and courteous. I'm going to put Ruggles Black in my rotation of business lunch spots. read more

I was introduced to Ruggles Black last week and I must say it's one of the better restaurants I've been to here in Houston. Below is a quick synopsis of what I experienced. Pros -Healthier food options especially for those with dietary issues like myself -Great tasting drinks that average from $12-$15 -Presentation of the meals was top tier -Ambience was sleek and inviting -Attentive bartender the second time I visited -Spacious outside patio -Valet parking (tip encouraged) -Chef came out to greet us and ask how our meal was going Areas to improve on -Have less staff at the desk when patrons walk in. Makes it seem a bit chaotic and can be overwhelming -Some of the food items are unnecessarily over priced. read more

This was my first time trying Ruggles Black. They provide Paleo, Keto, and CBD infused dishes. You have to valet park with a courtesy tip starting at $5. You can find street parking and walk, but I didn't notice any convenient self parking locations. We went around 1:30pm on a Saturday and it was quite busy. The inside of the restaurant is small and narrow. They do have outdoor seating with fans. We chose to sit outside and were comfortable. We made a reservation and was seated quickly upon entering. Our waitress Allison was very nice and attentive. All of our dishes came out fast and hot! We tried the French 75 Specialty Cocktails which were very refreshing. We chose two appetizers the Crab Spring Rolls and the Keto Chicken Wings. The wings were a decent size. The wings lacked flavor to me and were my least favorite. My friend however really enjoyed them. The Crab Spring Rolls were my favorite appetizer 10/10!!!!! For the entree I chose the Paleo Fried Rice with Snapper I did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would. It was okay, the dish did not pack much flavor to me. I had to ask for a side of sauce because it was dry. My friend had the Indian Spiced Scottish Salmon and she loved this dish! We were so full we opted out of dessert. The aesthetic of this place is really cute and the food is good. I would definitely try other dishes on the menu, and I will definitely get the Crab Spring Rolls again. I would recommend this place to others looking to try new twists on foods. Overall we spent a total of $155 for 3 specialty cocktails, two appetizers, and two entrees. read more
Super nice experience here this weekend! We had a bit of an earlier dinner and beat the rush, but things definitely picked up a bit as the evening went on. Highly recommend sitting on the patio to avoid some of the noise that's amplified inside. Super cute ambience/string lights outside! As someone trying to make the switch to eat gluten free/dairy free as much as possible, Ruggles Black was first on my list of spots to try. Everything I had was tasty, and especially for those with serious diet limitations this is a great spot to try out! Likely wouldn't get the pizza again, but with such a great range of options on the menu there's bound to be other good bites. read more

Heard and read great reviews about this place and so pleasantly surprised for The Hubs to take me here for dinner. The ambiance and decor were amazing. Real lit candles on tables gave the perfect touch. Appetizers, salad, and surprisingly the pizza were YUMMY! read more
First time at Ruggles Black, and it was highly recommended by my cousins that have eaten here many, many times. Allison was our server and she was attentive mostly. I'd say that there's something on the menu for everyone's food preferences. The pasta was highly recommended. I ordered the Spicy Shrimp pizza and it was delicious. Ordered a glass of wine- Conundrum, nice red blend. So, my cousin ordered a dish that she didn't enjoy. She expressed this to our server and asked if she had an option to get something else. The server said she would speak with the manager- she never returned with any information or said manager. After asking again about options and what could be done, Allison said well since you've eaten some of it we may not be able to take it off of the bill. In order to know if you like/dislike your meal you must....taste it, correct? I believe there should have been something done to satisfy us as customers, mainly my cousin. The server appeared confused on being able to order a different meal/remove the dish from the receipt. We could have pressed the issue, yeah. However, the manager should have absolutely came to our table. Once it was time to pay, Allison informed us that they did not have any change to break a 100 dollar bill. Well whose problem is that? Not the guests. She stated that typically they are able to make change by getting it from the valet guys, but it was a slow night. And again- whose problem is that? Not the guests. There are some people who still carry cash. That was a strange interaction. Ruggles Black is a nice establishment with a relaxing and dimly lit vibe. The food was tasteful, the wine was great. The service was service. I'm giving three stars because there's always room for growth. I won't dismiss the great things about this restaurant and must acknowledge how fresh the food was because everyone else enjoyed their dishes. They have valet parking and the guys accept tips. *I may even return, you never know.* read more

I needed a place to hang out as my car was being serviced. I read a review on this place years ago but just never been. This place is very cute. The decor is well put together. I always feel weird snapping photos while folks are eating (privacy), so I just captured where I was. Just take it as a gesture to come to check it out for yourself. I had a few lite bites and a huge dessert. It was not cheap! The food was a bit underwhelming but super colorful! I did not taste the crab in the Fried Crab Spring Rolls. It lacked seasoning inside and was just filled with cheese. I kind of feel I get more flavor from a mozzarella stick than I did with this spring roll. However, paired with the sauces provided, it enhanced the flavor. The Kale Ceasars Salad was just okay, too. The dressing didn't bring the flavors together. It is a chipotle miso dressing. Honestly, a good Ole Ceasar or a creamy Balsamic would have been better. Maybe if it included grilled corn, then the chipotle miso would have worked. It is somehow better when paired with something charred or fried. Speaking of fried, that crispy patty looking thing is a fried poached egg. It was very bland and didn't seem to go well with the salad. Honestly, it would have gone better if the egg was boiled and chopped into the salad. Definitely not worth $15+. I'm not a super sweets fan but this carrot Cake was hitting. It was paired with a scoop of ice cream. DELICIOUS! The absolute best thing I ate (both the cake and ice cream). The ice cream is homemade, gluten and dairy free. There is a dessert presentation, not featured, as it is something worth the surprise if not seen in other reviews. The bartender was my waiter. He was very attentive and helpful. I'd come back but more so to try the drinks and have dessert and coffee. read more

This place was amazing! I ate all keto options and everything was delicious. The chicken enchiladas were amazing and the Brussels were just as delicious. Got keto cheesecake and keto Nutella pie as well! I would give it all a 10/10 including the service read more
RB is one of my favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is nice & I love the outdoor patio. The valet is very affordable & the servers are always kind. The food can be a hit or miss. Most of the time it's a hit; however, during my most recent visit my side orders were cold. I wish they offered an half order of the Brussel sprouts. They are yummy; however, it's listed under the appetizers but it's enough for two to three people. A drink off the cocktail menu is a must try. So far every drink I've ordered off that menu was pretty yummy. Overall, I recommend RB. read more

One of my favorite places to dine. The customer service is always great! Food is great as well. I love the shrimp, beef pepperoni pizza and keto wings. The keto margarita is yummy as well. Definitely love the vibe and ambience. Be prepared to valet park which is not free unless you park in the garage next door. read more

We came on a Saturday evening with a reservation and were seated immediately. Restaurant was maybe 40% full. The ambience was very nice like sexy, classy, dimly lit but enough to see. There's a huge window into the kitchen so you can see your food being prepared but don't have to hear the hustle and bustle. Our waitress left a bit to be desired. She didn't seem super knowledgeable about the menu yet answered questions a bit matter of factly, forgot to take our entree order, forgot to bring one of our cocktails until two of us were nearly done with ours. However the food more than made up for this. My entree is the best plate of food I've had in recent memory. We had the chicken wings to start which were so good and came with about 8 wings. My sister and I had the pistachio crusted snapper and we both loved it though she could have done without the fig. The amount and size of the lump crab on the snapper was generous and the cauliflower purée was sooo smooth. Her boyfriend got the ribeye and while we found the shape a bit odd the flavor and cook were perfect. We weee too stuffed for dessert and still had leftovers. Bill as just under $200 and very worth it. I'll be back! PS: bathrooms were clean and parking is complimentary valet read more

Enjoyed dinner at Ruggles Black. The ambience is very sexy with beautiful chandeliers, accent walls, which are black and gold. Keinya was our waiter and she was very attentive and friendly. For drinks I ordered the Bourbon Billionaire and my husband had the Keto Margarita. Both had a good flavor but a little too juicy for us. For our Entrees I had the Paleo Beef Bolognese which was good. What I loved is my vegetables were seasoned well, not soggy and had a good crunch. My husband had the Lamb Burger and it was enough for two people. The burger was very delicious with a sweet and savory taste. The food and service was great my only complaint is when we were seated our booth had crumbs from the previous group. Will be back due to the various paleo and keto options that's offered. read more

9/19/2023 update: I went here to buy a few slices of the keto Nutella Pie and it was significantly smaller!!!! For $16/slice I felt so cheated. I'm done with this place. A friend and I went to dinner today since I was in the downtown Houston area until 5pm for work. Ambiance: 10/10. This is a beautifully decorated spot. Multiple chandeliers illuminate the restaurant with a grown and sexy vibe. There were candles lit for dinner and the feel was romantic elegance. It is somewhere you'd take someone special. Not just any 'ole person Service: Complimentary Valet: 10/10. The young men were courteous and everything went smoothly. Make sure to tip the valet guys!!!!! Waiter: 8.5/10. He would have gotten a 10 but asked to refill my diet coke at the end of the meal. Overall he was knowledgeable about the menu. Gave us ample time to decide and did not crowd our dinner. Food: 6/10. We ordered off the keto menu. 1) Keto Bread: 1/10. This was more like a slice of cake and had the consistency of corn bread. If they reworked the recipe and added some swerve it would be better. Maybe even make it look like some mini muffins would be a more appeasing option. 2) Keto Brussels Sprouts: 8/10. Decent flavor but the large pieces of ginger was annoying to bite in to. 3) Sea Bass: 8/10. My friend enjoyed his meal. I tried a bite and it was just okay. The sweet potatoes tasted amazing though. 4) Keto Chicken Pasta with zoodles instead of miracle noodles: 4/10. Too many baby tomatoes and too much sauce. Salty. The bacon was not crisp and in huge chunks that was difficult to chew Dessert: Nutella Pie: 1000000/10. This is by far the best keto dessert I have ever eaten from an establishment in the Houston area. I would return just for this. Value for money: With tip the bill was $200. I know keto food (ingredients and preparation) is more expensive than non-keto foof but in my opinion it was worth about 1/2 of what we paid. I will definitely return for the keto desserts ONLY and I don't mind spending the money for that!!!! read more

Walking in. The ambiance was great. You don't have to be overly dressed but you can dress up if you choose to. The waiters came quickly to attend to us. And our waiter was very patient seeing that it took a minute to decide on our drinks. This is my 1st time at this restaurant and visiting Houston from Los Angeles. I wanted something frozen so I got the frozen peach billini. The alcohol wasn't overwhelming. The balance between the mix and the alcohol was great. I decided to go with the 16oz ribeye. 1st bite into it was unbelievable. I got it medium well and it was still perfect. The flavor was what I expected from Houston. Normally, it would take me forever to finish something like that. But I blinked and I had destroyed this dish. And it was a pretty big portion. I tried the paleo pistachio snapper. All I can say is I know what I'm getting next time I come back here. Fish is always tricky to me because sometimes you can still taste the sea in the fish. But it was well done. All I can say is I didn't have a to go box. Definitely would come back here a few more times read more

Went to ruggles black for a date night. The main reason we went was because of their CBD infused menu. Once I arrived I was greeted and it was no wait. Inside the place is very pretty. To the left is the bar area, and they have some Hightop seating and a few booth like seating. To the right, they have more seating, but the seating area is really close to others . I ended up sitting at the bar . I was happy to know they also have a purse holder. Their menu is more dedicated to keto dieting, and their CDB menu was very limited, which is why I took away 2 stars. The only thing I ate was the crab spring rolls and the baby back ribs, which were okay. I forgot the name of the drink I had but it was really good 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… Read more
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.
