“ Solid spot for a quick bite. Chill vibes, friendly staff, and super fast service. Food came out fresh, no complaints will definitely be back! ”

“ Fun little spot with a bit of a ramshackle punk vibe, I guess befitting a spot apparently founded by a member of Green Day. We came here for breakfast and had a nice time. I really loved my Chilaquiles scramble--and the kiddo enjoyed the Challah French Toast (I think just fake maple syrup here, no pure--not an issue for him but would have been for me!). Portion sizes are substantial and filling. My girlfriend had the Hot Veggie Sandwich--a bit out of character for her, and she didn't love it--and started pilfering my eggs, much to my chagrin. But overall it was fine, an overall strong meal. Service was fine if a bit slow. Loved the decor--old toys, in-restaurant doodlings along the wall--seem like they have events here as well. Prices seem pretty reasonable for what we experienced visiting the area as well. Overall, just solid, charming and fun. ”

“ Rudy's is aptly named--it can't fail! Staff is friendly and helpful, the food is plentiful and tasty, with a good variety for vegans and vegetarians. Comfy ambiance too. ”

“ So good. Moved to Emeryville about a year ago and when I finally made my way to Rudy's, I was AMAZED at how perfect the food was! I got the patty melt with fries, and it was everything I want and more out of that kind of meal. Perfectly cooked meat, delicious griddle onions, Fries were phenomenal. Can't recommend this place more! ”

“ Rudy's still feels like home. Throughout the years it has a hold on my heart. Ambience fit my mood everything I go. From covered in shop dust to fancy dress. The food and service is always solid and comforting. Have had many nights closing the place down. Many ideas and plans been conceived and hatched. Rudy's is truly a can't fail. Thank you for being a cornerstone. See you soon. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ They are open on Christmas Day until 2 PM. The service here is very quick. I came in a party of two, we had to order at the bar, and the food was brought to us within 10 minutes. The omelette was so delicious. I didn't want to stop eating it, but I was so full at just eating half of it. The pancakes for just OK, I don't know if I will order them again. But the main event of the meal, was the English muffin! It was so buttery , warm and delicious. I will definitely order that every time. They have outside dining as well. They do have picnic tables for large group and a lot of two and four seater tables. As soon as someone left, the tables were cleared and cleaned. ”

“ Friday night live music and crab cakes! Tiny spot with easy parking and much less street crime than Oakland (but that's true for almost anywhere except Somalia) Good bands. Convenient to IKEA and Home Depot for late night runs Cryptic sign across the street (see photo) ”

“ Honestly absolutely love this restaurant. Discovered it from watching Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and so glad I got to experience it! Food & Drink - beers on tap, all sorts of diner food available. I absolutely loved my tuna melt - such a great execution of a classic! Service - incredibly friendly staff & your food comes out quick. Ambiance - indoor & outdoor seating, old-time diner vibes... loved sitting outside at a large picnic table & playing cards while we enjoyed our meal. Recommend Rudy's for a quick bite or a casual meal with friends!! ”
