Reviews for Rudy Royale in Charleston, SC
This place was okay. The deviled eggs were very good! They have a pork rind on top ???? I was told to get the fried chicken... which was good. I wish there was more to the presentation. The bartender was great! Read more
Made a lunchtime reservation, but probably didn’t need it. Food was really good - I ordered chicken tenders, same breading as... the fried chicken. Amazing. I also ordered fried pickles, their sauce is slightly sweet, not was I was expecting. Staff was veryfriendly. Bananas pudding dessert good, but slightly bland - I was expecting more flavor. Overall, would go again. Read more
Visiting Charleston for the first time, we randomly picked a place that looked looked like a good place to eat. I was so glad we... chose Rudy Royale! Danielle, our server was very pleasant and helpful. The ambiance inside was relaxing, (and the bathrooms wereclean). But We chose outdoor dining and the ambiance was just as nice. I recommend the Notorious Chicken Sandwich, it wasDELICIOUS! Read more
I’ve eaten here numerous times and the food and service was all most amazing. I came back again and this will be my last time... unfortunately at this establishment. Ordered food and waited roughly 45 minutes which I have no issue doing so whatsoever. Theissue I had with this situation is that not only was my food beyond fried and overcooked on the outside and dry on the inside,the potato salad was burnt as well. As you can see from the pictures…. My dads chicken sandwich which was fried and extremelyburnt and dry as well ( no photos as it was taken from the table). We understand business and how they get busy but afterwaiting nearly an hour, we expected food to be delicious, but it was far from that. The server which I will not name out ofrespect was super polite and courteous and did offer for a remake of both dishes. The issue I have with the entire situation isthat the manager who was also polite questioned if we had tried the “inside” of the food before even bothering to remake thefood. Obviously if the entire outside of my rotisserie chicken is burnt the inside is dry…. I tasted the inside prior tomaking a complaint about the food and it was in fact dry as the Sahara desert, if not worse. I typically never leave bad reviewsof restaurants but I did not enjoy my experience at all. Will not be back. Hopefully they will fix the issue and others canenjoy their entire experience! Read more
The chicken and dumplings with gnocchi was absolutely amazing! I could have liked the bowl clean! The sauce was rich and... delicious, the chicken was so tender it cut with my spoon, and the gnocchi was perfect. Great service, unique atmosphere. 100%would come back for those chicken and dumplings! Read more
The food is extremely good and super satisfying. The fried chicken is crunchy and flavorful, they also bread the fries so... they're crunchy. Being fried it's definitely oily, and I felt that somewhat after I ate but I enjoyed the meal. Read more
We were traveling with our dog and figured if we saw a spot with outdoor eating, we wouldn’t have to return our dog to the... car. My husband ordered the steak and fries and I ordered the salmon. Not only were we asked how we wanted our proteins cooked ,they were also cooked to those specifications. My salmon was actually the best salmon I’ve ever had at a restaurant!!! Ourwaiter was prompt, efficient and friendly. Great place! Thanks! Read more
