About Us
Ye Olde College Inn’s origins began as The Pig Stand, a chain outfit from Texas originally operated as a lease between Denis Rufin Sr. and The Pig Stand ownership. Behind on lease payments, political winds shifting and ushering the end of prohibition, the Rufin family decided to take back The Pig Stand and have their own go at the restaurant and bar business. Emile Rufin, still alive today, soon got the call to leave the LSU Baseball team and return home to New Orleans for the day shift (Noon-Midnight). Emile along with his two brothers Denis Jr. and Albert would birth 70 years at Ye Olde College Inn. The Rufin brothers would set roots in Carrollton/Uptown New Orleans that would grow deep. The Rufin brothers would operate the restaurant through the many twists and turns of the 20th century. At the advent of Central Air Conditioning the Rufins added a dining room to the drive-in service but for many decades memories were made in the oyster-shell parking lot. Car-hop service was popular and many romances were kindled under the trees and behind the cover of foggy windows. Menus would change through the years but the New Orleans Po-Boy and the Breaded Veal Cutlet would withstand the test of time, staples still to this day. In the 70’s the Rufin’s nephew, Ray Reicke would arrive and eventually become a partner with the surviving brother Emile. As former owner of Chicken Delight, remembered by its marketing jingle “Don’t cook tonight, call Chicken Delight”, Ray brought restaurant experience to the table. Together Ray and Emile would lead Ye Olde College Inn into a full fledged lunch and dinner operation all the way to its sale in 2003.
