It was our first time coming here and we loved it. The food was great and the corn beef hash was homemade. Our waiter and all staff were very sweet, kind and welcoming. I did like the hole in wall kind of feel. This will be our go to spot moving forward:)

My family and I had an amazing breakfast at Eat at Rudy’s! The service was friendly and fast—everyone made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. We ordered the breakfast burrito, pancakes, and the country platter, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the food came out hot and fresh, and the flavors were spot on. You can tell they really take pride in what they serve. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Great food, great service, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend Eat at Rudy’s for anyone looking for a true breakfast gem!

This place has been consistently good for decades. The staff are amazing. But don’t answer the phone to take an order then not come back to the phone. It’s just rude. I will keep coming back- foods great.

I absolutely adored the staff, they were attentive and friendly. Made the whole experience amazing. The food was great, the open time is convenient. It’s a small hole in the wall type of place, maybe 10 tables. I highly recommend. The menu isn’t small and at the same time not overwhelming. They have a daily specials menu too. Will be returning. I didn’t ask, but I think it may be family owned.

We love supporting local establishments, not corporate America. Rudy’s is awesome, old school service and terrific food. We had a time pinch and asked about service time, 5-7 minutes, and they were not kidding. We found our breakfast stop for the next few mornings. I highly recommend Rudy’s!!

First time here, I appreciate an old school diner. The food was great, came out hot and within a reasonable time. The servers were great it seems like it’s just 2 servers taking orders and serving food to all tables so it can get a little hectic but they do their best to get to each table so if you’re in a rush, or impatient this may not be the place for you. The price of the food was reasonable based off of the amount of food you get. Definitely won me over I’ll be coming back.

An honest to god, hidden gem! I was leaving L.A. and a friend recommended us to go there for breakfast, and we absolutely loved it! The food was really good and most importantly, it was extremely plentiful! Two of us are really good eaters and couldn’t finish our plates.

Jason Florez

really good food, but the service is what will make sure we come back again soon! We spoke with three of the staff and each were extremely welcoming to our family. One gave us great suggestions for our first weekend in the area, very appriciated.
