Tiger Bites: Ruffino's

RUFFIN RODRIGUE founded Ruffino’s in 1998 with an understanding that he wanted to create a place where people could come to “celebrate life.” Today, his wife Alison continues his legacy and vision with Ruffino’s Director of Operations Megan Klock and Executive Chef Reid Henderson. As a former football player at LSU, Ruffin always made sure that a big part of Celebrating Life meant celebrating his Tigers, and over the years, countless Tiger fans have gathered at Ruffino’s to share their love for all things purple and gold.


Tiger Bites is the LSU Alumni Association's special advertising section highlighting the best restaurants and bars to visit during LSU Football season! The section is featured in the 2022 Fall Issue of the LSU Alumni Magazine.
