Rudino's Pizza Grinders Southern Pines

This was a very well decorated, inviting type of environment, and I didn't even spend more than $30 here! The loaded frits were AWESOME, and there is even a little blunt on the menu to tell you what their names are about!

Honestly, I could do without ever going back to this restaurant again. Over a year ago a waitress was working that was super nice and turned on the disco lights for my young daughter. Now my daughter thinks it's a treat to go back even though the food isn't great. It's obvious that the servers are doing the best they can but management is horrible. It's sad too, it has the potential to be a fun place but it isn't.

The what is a grinder? Blurb on the menu is misleading. The bread is definitely delicious and freshly made, but the meat, vegetables, and cheeses were not piled on as implied, not was there much, if any, oil and vinegar. They even forgot the lite mayo I asked for, and brought normal mayo instead of light later on... For the price and to compare, a giant Italian at Jersey Mike 's will be loaded with meat and veggies, and will be much larger, and cheaper.

Nice find!! Great location with great environment. Fried pickles were done right. The pickle was crunchy and the fried bread around it was not greasy (or batter-y like BW3) it was delicious. The calzone and marinara was delicious. The bread wasn't over cooked or to doughie.

The inferno wings sauce was good and nice place to hang out outside was nice as well. But for me pizza wasn't that good and I had the Philly grinder and just wasn't what I was expecting. Overall not a bad place for some beer to hang out watch some games on the outside but food wise just didn't do it for me.
