Ruski's Tavern - Portland

Came in for Sunday brunch and had the sausage biscuits which were amazing! If you like hole in the wall/ dive bars with greasy food and a nice staff, ruski’s is great. My friend ordered OJ and Tito’s and got a great pour. So, the drinks are strong, which is always a plus.

A place you can count on. Warm, Friendly, and Charming. Good food, Drink, and people can be found here.

Despite Ruski being slang for Russian this place is as American as it gets. needed to add more words to beaccepted as a comment.

This place is awesome! Good food, great music and a cool bartender. It was the first place we stopped in Portland after a long day of crazy hectic travel. The food was good! I had the lobster roll which was just pure lobster and a nice toasty piece of bread. Came with a side of coleslaw, which was the best coleslaw i've ever had (and i don't event like coleslaw). The bartender gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat which made our trip even better. I wish i could transplant this bar to San Diego, but it would probably lose some of what makes it special. Would definitely go here all the time if I lived in Portland.

Little Traver/restaurant in the middle of a working class neighborhood. There were 6 of us and they pulled tables together like it was no inconvenience at all. Food was fabulous, but our waiter/bartender, Galden, was more than efficient, remembering all 6 orders w/o writing them down. Excellent **** Mary’s and food. Worth the trip off the beaten Portland path!!
