Rudy’s Hot Dog

Having grown up in Toledo, a lot of my family, friends, classmates and coworkers enjoy eating here. While it’s not exactly fine dining, the food is always hot and the staff is always very friendly. A good place for lunch. This location has a drive-​thru which is convenient. During their busy period it can take upwards of 20 minutes to get through the drive thru line, so be prepared to wait if you see a one. Good milkshakes, onion rings, chili mac, and of course, hot dogs.

I love some Rudy’s. It’s arguably the most consistent meal in Toledo or anywhere. It hasn’t changed in my lifetime because it doesn’t have to. Rudy’s, folks.

I have been a Rudy’s fan since childhood. I remember the original building on Sylvania, where my parents went to eat in the early sixties. It’s classic diner food. The dogs with everything and the crisp hot fries are fantastic. The chilli is like no other anywhere. It’s wonderful. Those who give negative reviews here may be wondering what’s with my four stars, but there is a component of nostalgia factored in here.

I love the dogs there amazing me and my kids eat there often. Way better that McDonald’s

There really is nothing better than Rudys’s! Best hot dogs and chili sauce in the city. They also make outstanding sandwiches (burgers, grilled cheese, grilled chicken, etc.). Their breakfast is delish as well. If you’ve never had the soup, check out the chicken noodle (exactly what you need to soothe any cold, especially in this weather!). I love Rudy’s, especially this location.

I give my one star to their onion rings.
Super overrated.
Hot dogs are NOTHING but super ordinary, poor quality hot dogs.
The chili has become a watery mess, like they just try to add a bunch of water to stretch it. Fries are NEVER cooked right. Mostly just soggy non throughly cooked potatoes. The teenagers who work there have no sense of good customer service nor do they even care about their job… customers interfere with their gossip time.
I have given all of them a chance and end up regretting it each time.

Had to try one more time to get a good dog before I go back to TX. Sorry to say this was not it. Just a hot dog with can chilly and the rings did not come till I went back 25 minutes late and ask for them. The place is dated and not that clean. The menu is way to busy for a small place. Maybe they should get back to HOT DOGS and let someone else do pancakes and omelettes.

I LOVE RUDY’S Hot Dog!!! I have eaten here since I was a kid and it is STILL one of my favorite places!!! (I’m 50 NOW) So– Go there and take the whole crew!

A Toledo classic stop. The dogs and fried foods are fantastic, but don’t forget to bring the TUMS! As good as it may taste, the food is greasy and hits heavy. Also don’t expect anything fancy, although oddly enough Rudy’s does serve beer.

If you want a chili dog come here, don’t go to the Rudy’s on Monroe street. This one is much better!

Everytime we head up to Toledo, we pass by Rudy’s on Alexis. I was always curious in trying it, but we never do. Today, after enduring an hour in the Charter One Bank next door, we decided to reward ourselves with a hotdog or two.
So this is pretty much how it went down inside. Walk in, told them I wanted 2 dogs with everything and my fiancé wanted a dog with chili sauce and cheese. We took our tray with 3 dogs, order 2 drinks and paid for them (under $ 7). Ordered, paid and at our table with our food in under 5 minutes. Nice!
So what can I say about their hot dog. They looked appetizing, tasted great and was really affordable. Great place for a quick, easy and cheap meal. My one and only gripe is that I wish they had more toppings.
And for a bonus, there was an friendly, old farmer outside in the parking lot selling watermelons for $ 2 a piece. We bought one of those too. We’ll most definitely be back.

A Toledo tradition. Great old-​fashioned hot dogs, great chili served with onions and mustard. One of the last original left in Toledo.
Try a delicious breakfast, but even if you don’t order the home fries. They are great with cottage cheese and a dog.

This is Rudy’s! A Toledo staple for Chilli Dogs and Rudy Burgers. I do love the dogs and a new found love for Rudy’s chilli. The chilli mac is not at par with a couple of my other local faves – noodles too big and wet, not enough meat sauce on top. Don’t let that stop you from trying other fine things from the menu. They do have a good selection of pies and greek rice pudding. My favorite Rudy’s is actually on Sylvania and Lewis (night crew) Don’t forget to put on some tunes on the juke box. 3 stars is el perfecto as far as a chili joint goes… this ‘aint’ gourmet and that’s ok.

A toledo classic dog. Get a craving for Rudy’s every couple months.

Really good chili dogs and chili macs! Also only place I know you can get a frosty mug AND PITCHER of beer! Gotta try it!

Chili mac is all that needs to be said.

Rudy’s Alexis is open and has been since 1985! This location boasts everything you love about Rudy’s. Try the veggie soup here– the best of any location! They serve breakfast all day long too. You can’t beat the dogs or the chili. Best in Toledo since 1920.
