With a sprinkle of salt, Rutt's onion rings are fine if not particularly oniony-tasting.

The cremators aren't actually black, but they are crunchy and hard-crusted, with a taste a little bit like overcooked bacon.

A view of the counters in the middle of Rutt's stand-up dining room. Next door in the tap room you can sit and eat, but for the Rutt's connoisseur, this is the only place to be.

With a separate entrance around the corner from the stand-up hot dog side of Rutt's, this tap room has a vintage roadhouse ambience all its own.

Outside Rutt's, you will meet some of the fattest pigeons and most well-fed gulls anywhere.  They cruise the parking lot looking for scraps.
