"Step back in time at Rudford’s, a North Park landmark since 1949 that’s open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It attracts a diverse clientele, from third-shift workers who want a good, filling meal on their way home to late-night revelers looking to soak up the night’s partying. Like any proper diner, breakfast is served all day — steak and eggs, corned beef hash, and more than a dozen different omelets and griddled plates satisfy even the biggest appetites. Burgers are hefty half-pound affairs, hot and cold sandwiches include homemade chicken and tuna salad, French dip, and spicy Buffalo chicken. Old-school entrees come with plenty of sides: soup or salad, potatoes, veggies, a roll, and a dessert. Add on a thick, creamy shake with your choice of mix-ins for the complete Rudford’s experience." - Mary Beth Abate
