The Ruck

"Saturday lunch date. New place for me. Parking may be an issue on busy days but otherwise a gem of Troy. Lovely dark wood, friendly, and cool vibe here. Staff is amazing . Food delicious. Had the legend chicken sandwich, my friend had the mushroom Swiss burger. All was cooked perfectly. Loved the bacon jam on the chicken sandwich. Come here and get treated well. 30+ beers on tap. Awesome time. Would definitely come back."

"We always hit the Ruck after The Palace or The Egg, or Proctors. Kitchen open til midnight, or 5 of... Not as fancy a meal as a few years ago, but we had a great burger, fancy fried chicken sandwich and a little Jamo. All good all around. Lots of great beer on rap, look up to see past handles."

"We, a party of 5, arrived on a Saturday afternoon around 4:45. The back area tables were full, and the music was on. We decided to sit up front near the door where we would be able to converse and eat. Our server came right over and was very friendly and helpful. Knowing that they have quite a draft selection, we asked questions and were offered samples to make appropriate choices. We put in an order of the "wasted white man" tater tots while we waited. Our server came back with our samples and 4 or us ordered pints. As our tater tots were delivered, so were our pints. The tots were hot and delightful sinful. Covered with beer cheese, bacon and ranch dressing (not something you can order more than 1x/week) our pints were the perfect temp. We went and ordered 8 buffalo garlic parm, 8 garlic parm wings, an order of pierogies with homemade french onion dip, and a bacon gouda cheeseburger Everything came out timely and perfect temp. The burger was huge and very flavorful. Wings were big and satisfying-although the buffalo sauce was a tinge spicier than expected. The pierogies were a bit dry and hard, but the dip helped. By the time 6pm rolled around, more people were beginning to roll in, and the music was pumped up 5 notches, no joke, and we were thankful to be done. We got our bill and paid without problem. We loved seeing the Bills themed decor, as our friends were visiting from Rochester. We will be back but will prob arrive earlier in order to sample more beers and be able to converse with each other."

"Used to have great wings, not sure what happened? Went there last Sunday night kind of late (8:00 pm). After living in Buffalo for many years, this was ALWAYS my go to wing joint as they were good or better than most of Buffalo's wings. I haven't been back in about a year since we live far away. Not sure what happened but whoever is in the kitchen should be fired. Wings were soggy with yellow skin. They usually come out crispy and loaded with sauce. Had to ask for extra sauce on the side but it's not the same. In hindsight I should have sent them back. Spent over $100 between the 3 of us on food and beer and I was the only one drinking. The place was not as crowded as it used to be either. Not sure if there are different owners now but they better get better kitchen staff or they will lose all of their regular wing customers. Waitress and bartender were awesome as always."

"Dog friendly. Excellent chicken sandwich. The fries were a little greasy and the mixed drinks weren't the best. A good friendly neighborhood tavern vibe."
