What People Are Saying About Rudolph's Bar-B-Que
The Editor

In Short – An old-fashioned supper club atmosphere pervades the room with its deep plum walls, banquettes, linens and mural of Hollywood legends--including namesake Rudolph Valentino. Extended families and groups of friends chow down while the friendly owner makes table rounds. Hand-rubbed with spices and slow-cooked, the barbecue is irresistibly sweet and tender. The reason most folks visit is the full slab of glistening, meaty spare ribs, complete with creamy coleslaw and a pile of skin-on mashed potatoes.
Rudolphs BBQ

I wanted to get some response or support for what I experienced at this establishment during there "Happy Hour."
We were there early in the week having drinks and apps at the bar.
When we were finished, we asked for the check and a "to go" box for the remainder of the apps we didn't finish.
The bartender refused and informed we don't do "to go" boxes for H.H. apps.
At first we thought she was joking, she wasn't... !
This is my concern, we "paid" for these, if we as patrons decide to take our food/apps home due to the fact we didnt finish, we should be able to, they cannot deny us that, again we are "paying" customers!
I can understand if someone orders H.H. apps "to go" originally, for the intention of ordering and taking home, not intending to stay at restaurant to eat there or if it was a "buffet" H.H. where they have an assortment of apps for customers to eat during H.H. usually for free or there's a cost (I don't think anyone does this anymore)... but you get my point.
I was going to ask for my money back for the apps they wouldn't let us take home after being there for over an hour, didn't go there, we left, and even "tipped"
Let me know what you think, or if experienced this, plz voice your opinion to mgr at this establishment. Thx for your time.
- Pros: none
- Cons: Happy Hour and service

I have been going to Rudolph's for a while now, and always am happy with my experience there. The chicken and ribs are my favorite, but the sides do a wonderful job at completing the meal. A well-stocked bar also makes Rudolph's a quality place to get some drinks.
- Pros: Many Quality Dishes
- Cons: Sometimes Packed
not like it used to be

just does not match up the food used to be good now the last two times i have gone the ribs and chicken have seemed to be cooked in a microwave.
- Pros: nice place
- Cons: poor food
