Raging Ryno’s opening soon

An experienced Cedar Rapids chef will be venturing out on his own soon, according to a recent announcement.

Ryne “Ryno” Bly, the chef and managing partner at Crosby’s who started with the Nanke group three years ago at Midtown Station, is planning to open Raging Ryno’s this summer.

The new concept, which Bly plans to locate in the front half of North Point at 621 Center Point Rd. NE, has not yet released a menu or named an opening date. But it did tease followers with a photo of a potential dish: juicy burger sliders oozing with cheese and thick sauce on buttered and toasted buns, with what appears to be onion rings.

“I’m hoping to be the kind of leader that I needed when I was working a line,” he said in a June 6 post to a local foodie group.

The restaurant is in the process of hiring staff now.
