| - I have to admit - I wasn't impressed as I stepped into Rush's dark bar. I thought, "what in the world are people thinking, bringing kids here?!" First impressions can be really inaccurate - didn't take long for me to realize that Rush Inn was a lot more than a dark bar.
A greeter asked if we were here to eat and then guided us through the bar and into the eating area. Our table looked out on Detroit - the perfect view for a Saturday afternoon. A couple of booths away, a family with three small children enjoyed an early dinner. It was a really nice atmosphere - a surprisingly family-friendly atmosphere.
I knew that Rush Inn had a reputation for great burgers. My wife had already decided to go that route, but I'm not a beef eater. No matter, I found at least half a dozen things if not more that I would like to try. I settled on the Turkey Ruben rollup and homemade kettle chips. She got the 'oh-my-gouda' burger on a pretzel bun and sweet potato fries.
I have to admit that when her burger arrived, I had a few moments of wishing that beef were on my menu. Rarely do restaurants serve thick slices of expensive cheese, yet this burger was definitely big on gouda. It also had several avocado slices - probably at least half of an avocado - in addition to everything else. She announced that "lady-like" was not happening and dug in, proclaiming her love for this burger between bites.
Oh, the sweet potato fries were phenomenal. They didn't need any kind of sauce - they were just crispy enough, yet soft and tender without being soggy or limp. My kettle chips were equally delicious - covered in some kind of ranch seasoning and crispy but not over-done. They provided dill dip but honestly that wasn't necessary.
My turkey Reuben rollup was also excellent. I appreciated the delivery mechanism - rolled up in a piece of aluminum foil - because it meant that I could eat without wearing half of it. Every bite had a good mixture of the ingredients.
Rush Inn earns a 5-star rating for its surprisingly-nice ambiance, diverse menu with seriously delicious food, quick service, and staff that was friendly and responsive.
Note to Physically Challenged Diners: Rush Inn is in an old building that is not fully accessible. You could probably get a walker and possibly a wheelchair through the bar and to the booths - I'm not positive about the width of the aisles - but the bathroom is down a flight of stairs. As someone who is physically disabled, I recognize how limiting this can be.
Call ahead to make sure you will be able to get to a booth and plan ahead in terms of the bathroom. I'm not taking points off their review because I feel like that is unfair for small businesses that are located in really old buildings. Still, I'd like to see more done about this issue.
