The restaurant remains a tribute to her originality, providing food, fun and community in a visually stimulating, ever changing environment.

Known as a Houston Institution, Ruggles’ popularity spans decades. The original structure was built in the 1920’s as a residence in historical Montrose. The Westheimer area slowly began to evolve in the 1960’s from strict residential neighborhoods to ones interspersed with local businesses. The inspiration for the original Ruggles came from restaurateur Manfred Jachmich in the 1970’s. With his wife he redesigned the building and established Ruggles and then Ruggles Seafood. The kitchen was redesigned when Bruce Molzan became the sole proprietor.
