After halting dinner service in January to work out a few kinks, The Ruckus, 4144 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood, has announced that it will resume dinner service starting today.
And the timing couldn't be better. As they aptly pointed out in an Instagram posting from earlier today, an evening in February with 60-degree temps is a pretty good time to grab a Saturdae or a delicious Two Tone shake.
Beginning today, The Ruckus' will resume its original hours from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
