I'm a little biased since I've been going to Rudolphs for about 4/5ths of my life.
I've recently discovered rib tips are the way to go. It's a great value and they are so meaty. They are nice and smoked and well charred. The sauce never tastes as good at home for some reason.
The cole slaw is legendary.
The ambiance is always a thrill. It's so well done it takes you back to the 20s.
The staff is very professional and always very polite. The management also seems very active and involved in what is going on; seating, table visits; hosting and such. It's a smooth operation.
On game days, it can be pretty packed and a lot of heavy drinking, but the main dining room is far away from the noise. It's also kind of dicey area and parking is catty corner, but it's reserved for rudolphs so you pretty much always can find a spot.
