Nestled along Highway 167 South, and conveniently right next to the Ruston Sports Complex, The Dugout offers the perfect refreshments and dinners, and not just for sports fans– it’s for anyone that wants great food, both for dining in or on the go.
And it’s the mission of owner Michael Quarles to make the Dugout feel like good backyard grilling right in his restaurant.
“When we cook for people here, we want them to feel like they’re eating food cooked in the backyard,” Quarles said. “It’s the same hamburger patties, chicken wings, buffalo sauce, everything; from my backyard to the restaurant.
“And we’ve recently added Taco Tuesday: one-dollar tacos and two for one frozen daiquiris on Tuesdays.”
Located at 2008 Champions Way in Ruston, lots of customers make their way from all over Lincoln and Jackson Parish, along with the sports crowd that comes in for the Dixie World Series and other big events.
“We have a lot of regulars that come for lunch,” Quarles said. “We have a really good menu and it’s priced fairly well. You get a lot of food.”
For the kiddos, they have frozen lemonade, and don’t forget the beer by the bucket for the grown-ups.
The Dugout is open seven days a week. On Sunday through Thursday, they’re open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday, they’re open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Come visit the Dugout and see what all the buzz is about.
