If you have not seen "The Vaits" yet....tonight is the night you want to go. This full band line-up (who I cannot mention all the names of yet) performed together at one of Ruddy's weekly open mics. The chemisty was instantaneous, the sound was magic and our performance got a wild, screaming standing ovation from the entire place. Instantly we were hired for a show. We vowed to make the show even better...and it will be. This will be without a doubt the best show you will see all year. Mark your calendar, tell your friends and get ready to get wild with us.
About the Ruddy Duck
Our philosophy is simple: Create a fun and exciting atmosphere Serve authentic made from scratch food Provide gracious and hospitable service Deliver it all at a great value
To guarantee excellence we buy the highest quality ingredients and prepare them to bring out the best flavors in every dish. Our chicken wings are cooked fresh daily to ensure our signature taste. Fresh and never frozen chicken breast, pork, mahi and salmon are delivered daily.
We buy only grass fed "all natural" steaks and hamburgers to ensure the highest quality. We support local farmers by purchasing our seafood and produce locally whenever available. Our desserts, pizza dough, and house specialty "Chipas" are made daily from scratch as are all our sauces, dressings and soups.
We promote friendly, unobtrusive service delivered with a smile. Most important to us is you, our guests. We strive to be a neighborhood restaurant where families with children, professionals on business, or couples out on a date can all feel welcome and comfortable.
Where it All Began
Carlos Yanez and Michael Kelley set out with a specific goal in mind; Create a VIBRANT Space paired with Artisan Crafted Food and Beer delivered with PASSION.
We invite you to step into a dynamic space that is energized every night of the week:
Live music pulses in the bar two to three nights a week. Sports programming plays to cheering fans on our four high- def big screen TV’s. Spirit night benefits local schools and organizations. Monday is trivia night where players enjoy “Pizza and Pint” specials in the bar.
Master brewer Matt Glass delivers a year round collection of award winning beers: India Pale Ale, Festbier, Helles Lager, Rud Light & Gluten Free Biere Nouveau. In addition he produces a wide selection of seasonal offerings to round out our portfolio.
Giving Back
They say good fences make good neighbors, but Carlos, Michael, and the Ruddy duck team are firm believers that good citizens make good neighbors. Whenever possible we utilize local farmers, water-men, vendors, and craftsmen.
Being a good citizen also means supporting our local historic treasures, schools, and non profit organizations. Every Wednesday is Spirit night at the Ruddy Duck, where a school, sports team or national organization hosts an event at our restaurant and a opercentage of all the participants food and drink is donated to their cause! Over the years we have held events large and small for countless local school, relay for life teams, and sport teams. Our largest events to date have been in support of Research funding for Cystic Fibrosis, Cerebral Palsy, and Breast Cancer.
The Ruddy Duck has raised upward of $20,000 for various charities and institutions and that is just the beginning! We are as passionate about our community as we are our food and beer! We are constantly reminded of the never-ending support from our community and are always looking for ways to give back!
