Yum – I usually only come here for one thing: white-chocolate bread pudding. Those are the best! Never had it anywhere else. I have dined on their lunch/dinner menu, and they're satisfying; nothing real impressive, just normal food, but their desserts are delicious!!

Everything I great.... except the dessert? – I eat here at least once a month, their trio salad is delicious. Their burgers are really good and on awesome buns. Their daily specials are also usually very good. The only thing I have learned is that the dessert is pretty mediocre, especially for what you pay. I don't know if they make it too far ahead, or what, but the cakes I have tried have all been dry, and the tart that I gave a chance was soggy! The cookies are good though and the food makes it worth it, just have dessert... read more

Food here is tasty and decadent – This place is great for all types of food. They have awesome desserts! If you need a dessert, this is the place for you! They have a chocolate and peanut butter mini-pie that is out of this world. They also have cheesecakes, cookies, brownies, etc. Their burgers are yummy, their soups soothing. I don't drink coffee so I can't speak on that topic.

Great Food, Terrible Mochas – I LOVE Ruggles food and the desserts, they are both excellent. I only have one complaint: I don't understand how a place with such excellent food and dessert can have such terrible mochas. I have tried to order their mochas on several occasions, all the time hoping they would improve them. I have even sent one back and asked for a stronger one. Today I tried ordering a double and asked they make it extra strong. Every time, they tasted like dirty water. The presentation is great though, complete... read more

great desserts! – If you want a great dessert come here! Their white chocolate bread pudding is awesome.. It looks unappetizing at first in the display, but they take it back and heat it up in the oven. Then they play a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.. its soooo good!

Go for their Desserts (only) – They have got a wonderful selection of delicious desserts -- we enjoyed the Tres Leches. However, my grilled chicken breast atop the salad was very dry. So was the grilled chicken in the sandwich my friend had. My suggestion is go there for dessert, after you've had a meal elsewhere.

great desserts, poor parking – The desserts here are great, one of the best in Houston, especially the white chocolate bread pudding! Their huge salads and sandwiches are not to be missed either. Along with that, the staff is friendly, especially the busboys who always refills our drinks. My only pet-peeve though, is the intercom system they use to let you know when your food is ready. A few times, we've missed our names being called out because of the blaring music and background noise. Parking also needs to be improved.

Enormous Desserts! – After seeing the #1 rating on Citysearch for "Best Dessert, we checked Ruggles out yesterday. My husband and I got the Pork Loin sandwich, coffee, the Grand Mariner cake and the Molten Chocolate/Cherry cake for $27. To our regret, we realized we could have gottten away with sharing one dessert. We were stuffed and had leftovers. Everything was delicious, and the portion sizes made the price bearable. They have a $3 split plate fee, but we just ate off each other's plates. ;)
