Review This Restaurant

Had what was possibly the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had at Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe in Emeryville. After looking over their menu for a while and really being torn between one of their scrambles, or one of their flavors of benedict (Both of which I saw being brought out, and looked excellent) I decided on the Eggs Blackstone ($9.50) which were two perfectly poached eggs on a delicious piece of ciabatta bread, some bacon, tomatoes and chives. This was some of the best benedict Ive had in a long time, if not ever. I can't give justice to how good their hollandaise was. With the perfect amount of zesty lemon flavor it was delicious. The only thing I would have changed was the bacon. Although it was good, it was a little over cooked and hard, especially on a benedict. I guess there would actually be two things I would change. The benedict didn't come with any sides, so I had to order a side of hash browns ($2.75). They were really good though, with onions cooked into them. It just would have been nice if they would have come with (Especially for $9.50) but I'm not going to complain too much with how good the food was. The place was packed, and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table of 5. I will say however that it was well worth the wait. The decor was pretty cool, and I liked the fact that they had a surprisingly good tap beer selection, as well as $1 (cheap) beers every night from 9pm-1? If you are in the Emeryville area and looking for a great breakfast then definitely go check out Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe.
