Welcome to Ruca's.
We love to serve the highest quality freshest food possible. At Ruca's most of our items are prepared fresh daily. Almost everything is made from scratch with love.
Our featured breakfast items include our famous Æbelskivers (a fluffy Danish pancake ball). They pair great with a espresso drink or our wilderness blend drip 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 we have a wide variety of gourmet sandwiches and fresh chopped 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. Our fresh Salads are a mixture of greens that are chopped fresh daily with fresh, never frozen toppings that are hand picked along with our delicious house made dressings.
Enjoy your meal in our lovely outdoor seating area while soaking in the amazing views of the beautiful Bear Lake area.
We look forward to serving you.
Our main featured item is called Æbelskivers. Æbelskivers are a fluffy Danish pancake ball and we are the only place that serves them in the state of Utah. We make them in all different variations so we have something for everyone from sweet to savory. This is a old recipe that came straight from Denmark from a dear friends mother. You will find nothing like them around here.
We specialize in coffee. Our coffee beans come from the local organic roaster The Daily Rise because we will only have the best for our customers. We also have several different variations of organic hot, cold tea’s and lemonade
We take pride in our sandwiches being the best in town. We load them with the highest quality meat and the freshest topping in town. Try one of our vegetarian options. No one will go away hungry from here.
Who doesn’t just love a good salad? Well salad is our specialty. We always start with fresh greens that are cut and prepared every morning. We never use bagged salad because lets face it there is no comparison. We make most of our dressings in house and cut all our toppings fresh daily.
We are excited to announce that will have various mugs and coffee cups along with shirts. Tank tops, & hoodies this year
From as young as I can remember some of my fondest memories were the summers we would spend in Bear Lake. My ancestors were some of the first people to help settle St. Charles and my great Uncles were also some of the first to purchase property on the beach of Bear Lake. I can always remember wanting to just be up here as long as I possibly could and never go home. That is one of the many reasons why I wanted to build something in the area.
I have spent a total of 19 years of my life in customer service and it is a passion of mine along with cooking, so one summer when I was sitting on my mom’s deck looking out over the Beautiful lake the idea came to me on how I could combine all my passions and loves into something that would not only benefit me but also benefit my family, friends, & community and that is when the idea of Ruca’s was born.
HOW WE GOT OUR NAME
Our name RUCA’S is a southern California slang term meaning “My Love” or “Girlfriend.” It was actually made popular by the band Sublime when they came out with the song “Waiting For My Ruca”. When I built my 1969 VW Beetle years ago I had to come up with a name for her. After months of trying to come up with something with no success, that song came on the radio and a light bulb lit up and "My Ruca Bug" was finally named. So of course when It came to finding a name for my dream restaurant it had to be named after my other love, my classic VW Bug.
