R.M. Brooks Store, a Rugby fixture since the 1920s, serves meals daily except Sundays for lunch or takeout, with breakfast on Saturdays. With their award-winning fried bologna sandwiches, Brooks has a comfortable dining area within a 100-year-old general store. It’s just a bit over a mile west of central Rugby. Menu items include burgers, barbecue, soups, sandwiches of all types and ice cream treats. Proprietor Tiffany, whose grandparents started the store, welcomes you. Phone 423-628-2533.
