Our dad started taking us here 20+ years ago, stopping at least once per annual camping trip to have a good meal out. This is our first trip back since he passed in 2019, and it was a very nostalgic and wonderful trip. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but we all ordered various burgers and sandwiches, and the bar fries, and everything was fantastic! They source local meat and produce, and you call tell the food is made by someone who cares. Both of the women who took care of us while we were there were wonderful. Can't wait to come back!

Good beer selection, burger was fantastic , as were the I believe homemade fries. The crew /staff was super helpful and friendly. Rooms were a pleasant surprise. Not super fancy but great. Hopefully I’ll make it back out there again sometime.

This is a great little restaurant and store that do a great job of taking care of their customers with a limited staff. There may be a wait to get your food, but it has always been excellent. My request when folks are building a menu is to designate what is gluten free and what is vegan. (GF and V in bold to the right of the menu item would be amazing). I am a person sensitive to wheat, and the staff was accommodating with their answers. The ribeye was cooked wonderfully, I appreciate when a medium is cooked to a medium and not undercooked. The bar fries were very good with cheese, bacon and a ranch drizzle. Yum! The store is an excellent all-around emergency camping supplies with plenty of fishing gear for the anglers. Staff is always super friendly, even in their busiest times.

Excellent food in the restaurant. Nice waiters and very helpful. We eat there at least once or twice a week. Would recommend this place to anyone. The store is a great asset to the community of Ruth also.
