Ruckus - Apex

My favorite location of the chain! Sushi is great and the waitress allowed me to make sandwich substitutions with no trouble. The food came out hot and quickly. The atmosphere gives off clean sports bar vibes - perfect! Will always come back here!

I've written reviews for Ruckus in the past (both dining in and take out). The last time I got takeout the wrap was a little baggy but this go around...perfection! I ordered a wedge salad (added onion, subbed blue cheese for ranch) with a side of tenders. The salad was fresh and crisp and the tenders were perfectly fried and the chicken tenders were, well, tender! And a great portion for the price!! I also ordered the steak quesadillas for my son who is very particular about his quesadillas. They needed no add-ins or substitutions. They were perfectly stuffed and grilled crisp to perfection. Ruckus has definitely become our go-to on Uber Eats!

Time to clean up the outside seating area. Corner is clustered with piled up junk - had to switch tables as it was our focal point and not very appealing. Paver walls and flooring appears to need a good power wash. The tables were not cleaned well - also had to ask for clean utensils (not related to patio). Good food and service but gonna hold off on eating out there again.

Overall a good experience dining here. Staff were attentive and the gluten free pizza crust is really good, taste like a regular thin crust pizza. For $1.50 a topping I would've liked to seen better portions on the pizza. They are also have gluten friendly beer. Nice variety of food on the menu including sushi, salads, wraps, burgers, wings, and pasta.

Some strive for greatness & some are just happy with mediocrity. Ruckus is a shiny example of mediocrity. There was nothing that stands out with the design, ambiance or the menu. There are lots of places that serve similar bar food yet somehow people flock to this place. Haven't been in years so decided to revisit to see if I've missed out. Service - I know that it's hard to find good help but the service was inattentive and lackluster. Had to ask several times for straws. Ordered onion rings as a side & it was brought out burnt not once but twice. Whomever was expediting should've caught that. They need their fryer oil changed and temp adjusted. Food - It's typical sports bar food. Nacho appetizer was huge & decent. The chicken Philly was pretty good & generous as was the kicking chicken sandwich. The Sam I Am personal pizza was pretty good. Onion rings arrived burnt twice & were complete inedible. They sent out another serving for the 3rd time. It was cooked to a golden crisp but the crust was very hard. They weren't good onion rings. With that said, I wasn't impressed & have no desire to revisit. There are plenty of places around town with better management, better service & better food.Update:I always appreciate when managers/ owners take the time to read & respond. I'm on Yelp because I want people to be aware of what they're doing well & what may need improvement. Some things are obviously lost on some people.I said the food was good...it met the criteria to satisfy a hunger. I didn't say it was anything to write home about. As for an "off day", how many "off days" do you have to justify a trifecta of bad service and burnt food all in one service?!?! Instead of trying to gaslight me by implying that it is "my rating scale", you may want to look inwards and address the delinquencies in YOUR service training for both front and back of the house. Your staff should be embarrassed sending out a second burnt order instead of paying attention to how the food was prepared. They are frozen bagged onion rings so how hard was it to ensure that it was done right? Incidentally the table next to us had a burnt order of mozzarella sticks. They may not have brought it to your attention but it was clearly dark brown/ black. That is inexcusable. We had to ask for the inedible item to be taken off our check. Not a single manager came over to address this issue. Yes you may have people flocking (& people will as long as there's sports on a big screen and alcohol) but your answer was the epitome of mediocrity. It's ok if you scrape by to barely pass the test but you don't see any need to improve. Eh...there are plenty of great sports bars that serve similar food to you around town. There are plenty that always has much better food, better staff training and exceptional service. We are regulars at several and have never had a bad experience in the many times we've been to those.

The food was average at best. We did enjoy the atmosphere and the reason for the higher rating was that our server was excellent. She was friendly and made conversation and some solid recommendations.

Just eh. Buffalo chicken pizza didn't come with the ranch and really no Buffalo. So just ok. Sat outside. Although nice waitress was inattentive. Perhaps they were stretched thin? Big portions. Good for the money and all kids meals are $5! So eh.

I've always wanted to try this place and finally got to! The food was great. Hot and fresh. But there were no lunch options that we saw :( so it was a pretty expensive lunch. But everything else was good! Server was pleasant.

We decided to stop for a quick bite. We were pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a wait. Although it was chilly out, we sat outside and loved it because they have a covered outside areaThe server was amazing. Very attentive and informative. We ordered sushi and tacos. They were very tasty and well portioned. All in all, we will return.

Great food, fun atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff...Always a "must visit"When I'm in Apex. Outstanding bar service and drink menu...
