Ruca's
Our featured breakfast items include our famous AEbelskivers (a fluffy danish pancake ball). They pair great with a fresh espresso drink or our wilderness blend coffee. Our coffee comes from a local best of state roaster "The Daily Rise" and is certified organic. Only the best quality for our guest.

For lunch and dinner we have a wide variety of gourmet sandwiches and fresh cut salads. I personally have hand chosen all our deli meats to assure you will receive the best flavor and highest quality possible. Several of our sauces have been personally created to pair with the sandwiches to heighten the flavor for an all over unique decadent sandwich.

There was about a 30 min wait and the prices were $2 more than expected but the Æbleskivers were very good. We liked the razzle dazzle and strawberry Nutella out of the three we got. Will definitely come here again!

Rukas was a great surprise! We stopped there for lunch. They had something for all of us... Healthy salads with fresh greens, tasty sandwiches with tasty flavor combinations, and something for the kiddo. They had outdoor seating with corn hole for us to play. A great find and we will definitely be back.

Unbelievably delicious. I got the razzle dazzle raspberry waffle, and it was among the best waffles I’ve ever had. So fresh and good. Don’t think about it—just go!

Good breakfast! Had a sign apologizing for being short on staff. Even though they were short on staff, all employees were very quick and professional. Had about 10 people order at once. Food was cooked to satisfaction and ready in about 10-15 minutes. Would recommend.

Really yummy breakfast place. We came here because of the awesome reviews it got. Food was good, but wasn't AS good as i was anticipating from the reviews. Don't get me wrong, I'd probably go back. A little pricey but the outdoor eating was super fun.

Good ball pancake place with each order getting 7 pancake balls. The environment is relaxing with a few beach songs on repeat. Should have asked to split the kids order as 7 was a little much for them..

Great place for a fun breakfast! I don't remember how to spell them, but their Aebelskivers (sp?) are delicious! They're like fluffy French toast balls!

Okay, this was an awesome breakfast. The fresh raspberries and the pancake balls filled with cream cheese that I can't pronounce were phenomenal!! Be aware, it is a huge helping and very filling, but worth every bite.

Outstanding , delicious food at Ruca's!! Best mozzarella pesto sandwich I have ever had. Real Bleu cheese dressing on the side salad, which is also a notch above with shredded carrots and lots of thinly sliced cucumber. My husband's ham and Swiss was piled high with meat and coleslaw. The folks here will tell you there is a 30 min wait, but there are shaded tables, corn hole on the grass, a view of the lake , and just a great place to really relax. And, the wait is worth it, because food is yummy!! Thank you to all at Ruca's!!

I LOVE their turkey and avocado sandwich! It's such a good price for the quality! I look forward to it every summer, especially with one of their arnold palmer's. Friendly staff. Very cute lawn to sit and enjoy your meal. I always recommend this place to anyone going to bear lake!

I love Rucas!! Everything about it, they have delicious sandwiches, coffee, breakfast, and don’t even get me started on the aebleskivers! I have tried all the sandwiches and none of them have disappointed me and I am even a picky eater. The aebleskivers are so so yummy, there are multiple different ways you can get them and they are wonderful!
They have something for everyone - PB&Js and Grilled Cheese for the kids, Vegan options, and they are happy to change and mix up an order for you if you ask!

I had the Razzle Dazzle Æbelskivers and they were amazing. These had a delicious cream cheese filling with fresh raspberries and raspberry preserve drizzled all over them. So good. My fiance ordered the Avocado Toast. The avocado's were too soft for her liking so she ordered the Peaches & Cream Æbelskivers. I thought that these were OK. They did not have the same cream cheese fillings as the Razzle Dazzle which was really too bad as this is what made those so good. Their White Chocolate Mocha was OK as well. I would not order that again. The staff was warm and helpful with suggestions

Their sandwiches wouldn't be as impressive without the tasty spreads they add. That's what makes this place worth going to.

Mine had a jalapeño jelly (a kick, not spicy).

We thought there'd be more choices, but having less makes it easier to pick.

Seating is for small groups of 4-6 and most are in the sun, even with umbrellas.

Loved the aebelskivers! They were filled with light cream cheese and such a treat. Fresh raspberries took these pancake balls above and beyond. I recommend this as the perfect breakfast spot at Bear Lake. The only thing I wish was a stronger flavor coming from the aebelskivers but it's forgivable with everything combined!

Came here because of the 4 1/2 star reviews... extremely disappointed, were given an estimated time of 10min for shakes and 45 min for food, shakes took closer to 40min, food was over 1 1/2 hours... I wouldn't necessarily been upset since I was with good company.... but one of our sandwiches had a nice moldy surprise. Hands down the slowest service in the area... and the lackluster sandwiches were not worth the long wait.

Update...

2 of our meals never came out.... friends waited over 2 hours and still go the wrong order. All I can say is don't be sorry... be better. There is no reason

Ruca's! .... I think we are off to the start of a wonderful friendship. We have a place in Bear Lake and are you there often. We have just now given them a try. Waited far too long!!!! Foolish. LOL

We stopped by last Saturday to give them a try. It was fantastic. Of course I had to try their Æbelskivers (danish pancake balls). It might sound boring... but I like to stick close to the basics for my toppings - butter and maple syrup. So...for me, no strawberries, no Nutella, no whip cream. (Which the Mrs. absolutely loved! And admittedly, it
looked amazing).

They have a bunch of patio tables

First time at Ruca's and here are my thoughts:

Roast Beef sandwich - disappointing. Had a half piece of cheese on it and some deli meat. It tasted really plain and needed something more to it for me to pay the price they ask. I make better at home. Do not recommend

Ruca sandwich- this has a kick to it for sure. The turkey meat is super yummy. Good sandwich

Razzle Dazzle- this is what this place is all about. They were super yummy. I wish they had a bit more of the cream cheese sauce in them but what a tasty treat. This is what will bring us back here.

The set up is really nice. Fun

Ruca's is such a cute place with a great vibe! It caught our eye as we made our way through town to the resort. Their famous for their abelskivers so we had to try them along with mom's special breakfast of two eggs, bacon and sausage. Delicious! There were plenty of tables and chairs with umbrellas and some bean bag toss while you wait. We even spotted a mule deer while there. The staff was fun and friendly, food was incredible and the atmosphere was chill.

This place was playing the best beach vibed music. There is a ton of outdoor seating with shade. They have Aebleskivers (dutch pancakes) and local raspberry jam they offer with their toast. There isn’t a whole lot of parking, but enough. They have a restroom in the back of the shack. The coffee was great as well! Really cute and relaxing place to stop by.
