Very cute place with great food options. The type of place where you order and sit. The food it’s brought out hot and fresh. “The Hawt Honey” sandwich was delicious. The “Chocolate Chia” smoothie was great too. Very family and kid friendly too.

January 2026…Great eatery with quality service!
Came in to have lunch during the work week. Cozy little shop with only two other patrons at the time. Ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries. Food was prepped and table-ready quickly, allowing for a no-rush dining experience. Dessert options were a bit minutes, though the butterscotch pudding for which I came was just the right portion for the day. The counter help was delightful, taking and receiving orders with a pleasant smile on her face. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch. I will be back to try more of the menu!

We were at Rugile’s Kitchen today and really liked it. We had a burger and a sandwich, and both were absolutely amazing. Super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. You can really tell that a lot of care goes into the food here.
Also the rest of the menu looked amazing, we had a hard time deciding. Every dish looked really delicious, and it’s clear this place takes pride in offering high-quality, thoughtfully made meals.
The owner and staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was warm, and the whole experience just felt like a hidden gem kind of find.
Definitely coming back to try more! Highly recommend.

I’ve only done take-out at this place and all 3 times I ordered the same burger (jalepeno smashburger). I saw a negative review that the burger is tiny ? – no way. May not be huge, but it’s a decent sized portion. Two smashburger patties. The first time I got it – amazing, but a bit greasy (wasn’t sure if they added oil because even the buns were soaked). Second and third times – the burgers were very pink – basically pink from inside to edge. I know some don’t mind that, but when I order a grilled smashburger, I’m expecting the patties (that are so thin to begin with) to be fully cooked through. I’d understand if it wasn’t a smashburger, where you’d have to specify how you like your burger (medium, well done, etc.). The third time wasn’t as greasy, but I’m a bit disappointed that the burgers weren’t cooked through considering how thin and easy it should be to do so without drying it out. Seems like a standard expectation on a smashburger. The buns taste great – definitely upscale rolls. The staff are always friendly and greet you with a smile and excitement. I want to like you guys way more, just for that. Please just cook the patties through. Having some more options for burgers would also be nice.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch today. The food we ordered was delicious and freshly made. This included strawberry mango and peanut butter and banana smoothies, the Lake Shore Bowl and Terrace Street Rice Bowl with Chicken. We also ordered a Hawt Honey sandwich to go which my son enjoyed.
The staff there was very friendly and welcoming. They brought our food out when ready (which was quick) and checked in to see if everything was ok.
The place was well lit and cozy, and parking is along the street or in the parking lot across the street.
We plan to come back to try the other items on the menu with the rest of the family.

Our family absolutely loves Rugiles. From the warm, friendly team to the incredible made-to-order dishes, it has quickly become one of our favorite casual spots in New Jersey. Everything is prepared with quality ingredients and real care. The Terrace St. Rice Bowl and the Jalapeño Bacon Smashburger are personal favorites!

Blew away expectations! Tasted one of the best burgers in the area if not the world. Cooking isn’t mystically hard as long as you have good ingredients and balanced seasoning, but what is truly difficult is proper texture and reproducible consistency. To me, burger patty texture and moisture balance is what distinguishes the elites. Unlike some self-proclaimed burger greats, no sinew got stuck between teeth or shocked the experience with the errant bone bit. The slight resistance of the outer sear when you get past the bun that yields to the juicy uniformity within whispers you’ve discovered something special. I’ll be returning to see if this quality can be consistently reproduced, the other tricky aspect of cooking well.
Tasted 3 burgers: Schraalenburger, Park BBQ, and Jalapeno Bacon

I have been dying to try this place for a long time and finally found the opportunity to do so today. Ordered for pick up on their website which was super easy, food was ready by promised time, AND I was met with a smile by the girl working the register. My hot honey chicken sandwich was amazing. Will definitely be back!
