I was really excited to try this spot and was a little disappointed. Great and extensive menu with gluten-free, vegan, and healthy options.
I ordered the pancake combo, and my pancakes were undercooked. They were perfectly brown on the outside, but the inside wasn't cooked through enough.
My server was friendly and the restaurants decor matches it's name.
My Husband and I go to Rudee's each year after the VA BEACH BOAT SHOW. I now have to Gluten Free and was afraid there wouldn't be much I'd eat there now...I am beyond thankful to see ALL THE GF ITEMS!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH A BIG GF MENU!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
Food is good and a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. Just don’t come here for the service. They are slow (30 minute wait for soup and tacos…and it wasn’t very busy), the girl taking orders doesn’t know how to talk to people and made ordering really awkward, and they made a mistake on my food.
Summary: Nicole was funny and friendly! Food was delicious (and had gluten free sandwich bread) prices were very decent for our large party. Sit by a window if you need extra light to read menu.
We came in as a party of 5 of visitors (Army base nearby). Nicole waited on us and she was SUPER friendly and knowledgeable on all the menu items. She was patient and quickly brought our food out despite the lunch rush (which the food was delicious and had good portion sizes by the way). The shakes were amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the gluten free bread substitute on my Reuben.
The atmosphere was cozy, but we went on a day that didn't have a lot of natural light so I recommend if your party needs more light to see the menu, perhaps sit near a window. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and the high reviews here aren't kidding!
For the good: Server and manager were nice, friendly, and helpful; music was good until the live band left.
For the bad: Took about 30ish minutes to order drinks; ribs and brisket were both sold out, so I ordered the tender steak with some pink, but got majority pink; strawberry milkshake didn't taste the greatest; when the steak was redone, they threw away the asparagus as well, and ran out (I have a gluten allergy, and their sides are limited in that aspect); steak tasted disappointing.
Very bad experience, but at least the workers were positive and friendly...
We stopped here due to reviews and prices. They were hosting a big party but was able to make additional room for our party There food was very good and prices pretty decent. Our waitress was too busy with the party to keep up with us but the owner/manager came over to make sure we were good. I do wish they had more gluten free options and a menu that showed what was safe to eat so I didn’t have to ask so many questions. Overall I’m sure we would go back again.
