The Experience, Emeryville: Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe

The Experience: Outdoor Dining, Take-out & the Staff Wants You Back!

Though there is currently no more dining inside, do not despair – you can still get your favorite Rudy’s Combat Mac & Cheese! All you need to do is check the weather report and dress warmly, bring a wind breaker, blanket or whatever the conditions dictate. Rudy’s Can’t Fail Café wants to see you! They have a tent in the patio and according to proprietor Doug Smith, “We’re trying to build some other structure out on the parking lot. Something like a wooden or metal parklet to accommodate more customers.” Currently on weekends, there is seating out in the parking lot for brunch and beyond.

Server Enriqueta Ruiz said the community is so supportive. “They’re still here! Even in the rain. We are trying to figure out how to adjust, but we all just have to have a positive attitude!”

Doug doesn’t think it will last too long, maybe just through the holiday season to the beginning of the new year. Think orange, not purple or red; wear your mask and socially distance. We will get through this. Meanwhile you can still order online for pickup. Rudy’s is open Tues – Sat, 8am – 9pm and Sun and Mon 8am – 4pm. Join them for Happy Hour Tue – Sat, 6-9pm with all drafts beer half off. Remember, When you are at Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe, you are Rudy. (510) 594-1221
