Founded in 1920 by Rudy Poturedes (Uncle Rudy), Rudy's Hot Dog is a chain of 6 restaurants in Toledo, Ohio. It all began years ago, when Uncle Rudy began the business as a single hot dog stand, eventually opening a restaurant in the 1930's. After the death of Uncle Rudy in 1960, the Dionyssiou brothers, Harry and Andreas, took over and moved the restaurant to it's current location on Sylvania avenue in 1971.
Over the years Rudy's has remained a staple of Toledo. Former toledoans even come back to dine, some even share stories from their grandfathers and great grandfathers about coming to Rudy's. That's what makes us what we are today. The legacy has been passed down from generation to generation. The Rudy's "retro" nostalgia will always remain.
Each restaurant is owned and operated by a family member, each who works hard at continuing the legacy that began over 100 years ago. Harry and Andreas are presidents of the Rudy's company, and run their "hot dog empire" with lots of hard work and family pride. If you're a regular, they will surely remember your name.
Rudy's has since grown from the days of the past. BUT we will always stay true to what Rudy's is all about (and don't you try and get us to give you our secret family recipe:) There are a variety of menu options available, but of course the most popular item that has remained is the now FAMOUS Rudy Dog. They sell over 10,000 hot dogs a day. Tradition calls for mustard onion and our famous Rudy's Hot Dog Sauce...but of course, you can have your any way you'd like!
