Ruckus, in a word, is what we wanted to create for friends and guests when we opened the doors of our NCSU location in 1999. A place for great food, great music and great times. Affordable, comfortable and delicious are the driving force behind every Ruckus. When you come through the doors of our restaurants, we want you to feel like you are coming over to a friend’s house for a meal (a friend who is REALLY good in the kitchen).
