Emerald Isle - I went on a date Saturday night and decided to head to Rucker John’s for dinner. This is one of the most popular restaurants on the Crystal Coast. It’s reasonably priced, the serivce is usually decent, and the food is consistent.
I was surprised by the large number of people eating at Rucker’s on Saturday. I mean it is winter here on the Crystal Coast, which means us locals kind of have free reign of the place.
But there was actually like a 10 or 15 minute wait before we were seated. Once were seated, my date immediately noticed their pictures in the rear dining area were all crooked. Typically I don’t pay much attention to these things, but when she pointed them out I noticed they were all crooked. VERY crooked. No big deal though. Just had to mention it, perhaps the manager will see this and fix them. 
She had the spinach salad which looked awesome and she seemed to really like it. I however, needed something meatier. I’m a fish lover, and I know Rucker’s has a “catch of the day” which I’m sure wasn’t caught that day, but I had to have some fish.
Usually you’ll never see me eating salmon. I lived in Seattle WA for several years and ate so much salmon I could probably go the rest of my life without it, but Saturday it sounded good.
And as always Rucker John’s delivered. The salmon was outstanding. So if you’re heading out for dinner give Rucker John’s a try. You’ll probably like it.
