    Nice vibe love the random stickers. The food was really great and I'm very picky about my chorizo. The staff is nice as well definitely should check out this place!

    You MUST Try This Place!!! I came into town to celebrate Mother's Day with my family, mom and sister-in-law. On Saturday, I wanted a day to myself. So, I looked for a new spot to try out food. I saw this place was good for Vegetarians, so I made a bee line there. This place is my new best friend - and they don't even know it yet! The food is AMAZING! The staff is AMAZING! The ambience is AMAZING! It's so unique, homey, comfortable, and easy going. You place your order at the counter, get a number, then find your own seat. The servers come and check in on you - but they don't bother you. The food is served with a smile and a wonderful welcome. And, every bite makes your belly happy. They have indoor and outdoor seating, in case you have a furry friend . I would describe this place as a neighborhood staple that must be experienced by all.

    Ya know when you're so hungover that you feel like you're not allowed to be in the public? It's one of those days yet Rudy's has such a homey feeling that I don't feel bad at all. Friendly and quick service, delish food, boozy milkshakes and other drinks, really the perfect hangover spot. Also all the tables in the back are like filled with a bunch of random little things like pez dispensers and figurines and what n, really serving the ADHD, thank you.

    Food 5/5 Service 6/5 Ambiance 5/5 Rudy's truly can't fail, the food is too darn good! I have been living in West Oakland for a year now and I'm hooked! If you are in the east bay and are looking for a local diner to support with great food and service, I highly recommend coming to Rudy's! (I know I used an exclamation point a lot, but I truly love this diner) Food: (these are my favorites) 1. BLT with soup (5/5) my favorite dish. It's simple and fills me up. This is my got to at Rudy's. 2. Deuces Wild, French Toast (5/5) looking for a sweet and savory breakfast! Try this from the menu. This is my favorite meal when I want to really treat myself. 3. Tofu Chilaquiles (5/5) this is a delicious vegan dish with plenty of protein. Also recommend the veggie burger (I don't have a picture sorry) Service: I just really wanted to highlight how helpful Rudy's staff is. Someone is always walking around looking for ways to help customers. This is truly a community diner where patrons can take a load off.
