Whether you are a long-term Sudburian searching for your new favourite breakfast spot, a newcomer exploring the city, or you are just craving some old-school Diner favourites, remember that one rule of thumb shared by intrepid travelers and foodies alike: if you want to find a truly great meal, you have to eat where the locals eat. And in Sudbury, that place is Rudy’s Restaurant.
Located at 483 Lasalle Boulevard in the New Sudbury neighbourhood, this unassuming eatery was voted number one for Casual Dining in the Sudbury.com 2025 Reader Favourite Awards.
Owner Kevin Cirulis is proud to receive this award and sees it as a reflection of the hard work his team does every day and is proof that a restaurant can serve quality food made from fresh ingredients at a reasonable price. “As a small independent restaurant, we can keep our prices low and purchase our products locally from quality suppliers like Regency Bakery and our butcher, B&D Quality Meats”, says Kevin, who notes that they strive to make their dishes in house, and most are cooked to order.
Rudy’s Restaurant is a classic Diner experience where friends and family meet to share news over breakfast, escape the workday with a quick lunch, or relax and savour a tasty dinner. And, if you just want to catch up over coffee and dessert, Rudy’s has a table waiting for you as well.
Their menu has something for everyone:
• Breakfast: Served all day. Eggs the way you like them, homestyle omelets and more. Rudy’s is praised for their traditional home fries, made the old-fashioned way with chunks of pan-fried potato.
• Burgers: Customers rave about Rudy’s burgers, from their budget-friendly “Snack Pack” with fries, to the Super Big Hubi with double patties, double cheese and double bacon. There is a burger for every appetite, all made in-house with local ingredients.
• Comfort Food: Your old-school favourites with Rudy’s special touch. We’re talking classic dishes like hot turkey or beef loaded with Rudy’s own oven-roasted meat and rich, homestyle gravy, fresh fish and chips, roast porchetta, liver with onions and plenty more. These are meals like Grandma used to make.
• Desserts: Satisfy your sweet tooth with a choice of decadent treats, from deep-fried butter tarts to made-to-order funnel cakes served with strawberry sauce.
With a diverse menu of delicious options there is truly something for everyone.
For those new to Rudy’s experience, Kevin extends a warm welcome and recommends you stop in for breakfast, one of their famous burgers, or a club house with poutine. And he thanks all of their loyal customers who have chosen Rudy’s as their favourite casual dining experience. “Thank you for voting for Rudy's. We enjoy doing this because of our customers and we work hard every day for them. And to get this means a lot to the team at Rudy's.”
