This place is an absolute gem. If you like fine dining and white glove service, go somewhere else! This is an old townie haunt where every seat at the bar is full in the morning and you'll be the odd man out if you order a coffee. Food was great, service was great. We only wish we had found this place sooner!

Came in for Sunday brunch and had the sausage biscuits which were amazing! If you like hole in the wall/ dive bars with greasy food and a nice staff, ruski’s is great. My friend ordered OJ and Tito’s and got a great pour. So, the drinks are strong, which is always a plus.

Best bar in Portland. Lovely people, great vibes, AMAZING food and drinks. The whole place looks like a dive bar historical art gallery heaven. I hope to be back soon. Highly recommend.

Pleasantly surprised
Tavern environment, but tasty food with super fresh ingredients. A local gem that is off the tourist radar. My wife loved the veggie benedict and I had the banana bread French toast. Very creative.

One of the best omelettes I've had in a very long time. Highly recommend this local hidden gem for breakfast. I can't wait to try their lunch or dinner. Great service.

Ruski's is the quintessential neighborhood corner Pub. We went in about 10:30 am and the place was already almost full. But it wasn't crowded and the staff was friendly even if you weren't a regular customer. Didn't get a chance to sample the food but plan on returning soon.

I used to love steak bombs but i got bitten by the lone star tick. Now i eat chicken bombs. This place has a steak bombs and chicken on the menu. They flat out refused to try to make me a chicken bomb. Plus the bartender was rude about it. Im not going there again.
