Robert and Ashley Royster met Arianne with Sociable Art several years ago.
She came highly recommended to do some scenes in our childrens bedrooms.

Some of you may know we are heavily involved in local charities.  We feel it is our responsibility to give back to the community that supports us.
Every Monday and Tuesday, any non-profit can use our restaurant to raise money.
We have several schools that use us regularly and have done lots of other charities.
We call it Give Back Monday and Tuesday.

As everyone knows Ruckus LOVES Palm Trees, Beaches, Girls in Bikinis, St. John, Woody's, Painkillers, Shark Bites and everything Beachy.
Ashley and I returned to St. John at the end of March JUST to make sure we were getting the Shark Bites right and the Pain Killers right.
Here's the lengths we go through to make sure our Ruckus Guests have an Authentic experience at Ruckus.
We had a bit of a problem getting out of the country and got stuck in South Beach.  So we did what anyone would do and took in the sights of  Ocean Drive.

In our travels we always try to find new great food and drinks.
A group of 12 friends traveled to St. John USVI for some shenanigans.
My friend Dave Beecher put the trip together.
We figured out traveling in herds was cheaper than staying in a hotel.
You could also get a really nice pad.

We'll start by introducing ourselves.
I'm Robert - part of RobertandAshley as we are usually called because our names are often used in the same sentence as a run on.

As Ashley and I had kids (4 to date), Ryan and crew did an excellent job with Ruckus 1.
We enjoyed going there as a young married couple and had a most excellent time.
Fun was had by all.

The most asked question about Ruckus Pizza is how did it get it's name. It's actually Ruckus Pizza and Bar - but most people shorten it to Ruckus Pizza or Ruckus. It really doesn't go together - but once you find Ruckus Pizza - It really does go together. Ashley and I had decided to open our own little pizza bar. We were tired of the same old bars on Hillsborough Street where none of the bartenders or owners knew or cared to know your name. We wanted to open a Cheers with Woody, Sam, Norm, Cliff et al. The 1st course of business was deciding on a theme.

Hello all Ruckus Peeps!

Talking to our guests is one of the FAVORITE things we do in Ruckus.  We really wanted to create that special place where Everybody Knows your Name.  We try.
We'll be using this Blog to update you on all the goings on at Ruckus in more detail.
We'll talk about the history of Ruckus and what dishes we are working on in the kitchen.
You'll get to see more into the workings of Ruckus and it takes 1000 little details to create that special Ruckus Experience.
