Rudy’s Bar & Grill

I would love the place if they would learn how to accurately cook a burger. My burger was undercooked and my french fries hard and crunchy… the food would have been good had it been cooked properly. It’s hit and miss with that place.

Best gourmet specialty burgers I have ever had. The entire menu is delicious though. Nice friendly home town bar and grill.

Ride 50 miles to get a burger here. Great atmosphere and some of the best burgers you can get in Ohio. Great perch sandwich also. Thumbs up.

After a long day of kayaking the Vermilion River, this place hit the spot. Yes, it does have a «divey» atmosphere, but don’t let that stop you… the food is pretty good and the beer is cold!
A co-​worker of mine swears by their burgers, so we decided to give them a try. The family started off with an order of wings, traditional hot buffalo style. The wings were piping hot, crispy and had a really nice buffalo flavor with good «heat». Wings were served with a tangy blue cheese dressing for dipping.
For our meals, we all had burgers. My wife and I did our usual half-​and-​half plate share… she ordered the truffle burger and I had the sirano burger. Both were made of good quality meat and were cooked to a perfect medium temperature. The sirano (with all its spicy goodness) was the better of the two… lots of flavor! Rudy’s fries were crispy and delicious.
Wash it all down with a few cold beers from their tap (a reasonable selection for a small place) and you have a rock solid meal right there.

The food is fabulous, the service is ok. Its gets busy so it can be slow at times but everyone is friendly and the food is worth the wait. The rosemary truffle butter burger and rosemary truffle butter wings are so good! Rudys Ranch wings have awesome flavor but they are so hot I can’t eat them. If they tamed them down a bit they would be perfect. Typical bar but with fantastic food! The crab cake wrap is my favorite. If they had a few more tables it would be perfect!!!

The truffle burger HAS to be experienced, better calamari than the Italian restaurant, free popcorn. KILLER WINGS, and Sarah and the rest of the staff are delightful.

Fun, divey atmosphere! I really love the low-​key, hole-​in-​the-​wall vibe. Service is friendly, just not a fan of the food. It is mostly greasy bar food with no healthy options, and that type of menu just really drives me nuts. It’s 2014, ya know? They do have great craft beers, though. Rudy’s is worth checking out if you’re a local and want to run into old friends.

GREAT BURGER! It’s nothing fancy, but good! Decent craft beer selection for a dive bar. Only complaint was that Rudy’s was terribly understaffed (one bartender taking care of entire restaurant). And oh my goodness was he rude! Guests seated at tables had to basically serve themselves. Twice he asked us if we were okay (we were seated at the bar) and we tried to draw his attention to the people wedged between us who were begging with empty glasses for another round. Rather than acknowledge these dehydrated starving folks, he just glared at us and repeated again «may I get YOU anything»… As if those other people were invisible. Honestly a shocking display of rudeness. Made it very uncomfortable.

Perfect place to go have lunch. Cold beer, limited seating but food came to the wife & I fairly quick. Had a chicken caesar salad and crab sliders, both were pretty good. It’s a bar and should be dealt with as such. Burgers are supposed to be amazing — they looked amazing.

Love the atmosphere and the live music (especially, Ally & Company). Good service and food. I always have a good time here!

A great place to just hangout with your friends in the evening/​late night and have some drinks. Pool table is nice if you can get a chance to play on it (sometimes in constant use depending on how many people are there). Service is usually pretty good.
I’ve been to Rudy’s on several occasions and the only thing i haven’t done is gotten food there. So i can’t comment on the food, but the drinks and stuff are generally pretty good.
No complaints from me. Will definitely return. One day i might even try some of their food.

The dining options in Vermilion feel a little limited, but Rudy’s was a new find for me, a friendly place with a solid menu and a nice atmosphere. They don’t have all the beers for which they have signs on the walls, but they do have a pool table and a great homemade hummus appetizer, which if you are lucky (or I’m sure if you ask) they will serve with homemade potato chips. That makes it feel like the most decadent bar food ever, and it’s very, very good. Also good? The truffle burger. Recommended, and I’ll be going back again.
