Ruby Tuesday

Obviously you are coming here because you have a hotel, or work, nearby. There are simply so many other places that can beat even your expectation of having a clean glass of water. Sat down at the bar to decide on a draught beer and looked down each side of my neighbors. Nothing but unappealing food and disappointed faces. I ordered a water and the glass had the rings of a previous lipstick kiss. Glad my choice was not to subject myself to the food this place has to offer. Do the trick of questioning eating at a place and go to the bathroom to wash your hands — you will not eat there either.

Dirty, nasty yuck. I have never been to a restaurant that was as dirty as this one! The walls and even the shades on the lights were terribly dirty and covered with bits of food. Ketchup, spilled milk and grime caked on walls, chairs and floor. Horribly in need of an upgrade and a washing/​disinfecting.

Food is ok, yet restaurant is old and run down. Service is ok and it is close to a few hotels which makes it convenient if you are staying in the area. The pork chop was pretty good and the bar food is alright.

First time for the wife at a Ruby Tuesday. It was pretty slow on Presidents day. The food was mediocre. The service was slow and so impersonal it was painful. While waiting for additional items and refills I watched who I think was the manager watch TV and play with his phone. He did manage to seat a table between those activities. The server seemed to be annoyed that we were there.

Its a good restaruant for salad bar. We enjoy being there for happy hour tooo. Itg s a great place for quick food.

Good food… service is hit and miss. Today I went with a coworker and ordered an avocado turkey burger with everything. Received an avocado chicken sandwich with no extras on it. Server never asked what side I preferred. My coworkers glass was SUPER dirty and you couldn’t see through the cup. The server also seemed to be doing anything to avoid our table. I asked for ketchup and didn’t get it. We were rushed out of the door even though the restaurant wasn’t even remotely crowded on a Friday afternoon.
Other times I have been and the server is way more attentive but I got a regular bun when I asked for gluten free. Not knowing they even had that option to begin with, I thought I had the correct bun and was in a ton of pain an hour later. Just fyi, the gluten free bun is actually pretty good. It isn’t dry and crumbly and the flavor is fine.
Another time, the server and the food was exactly perfect even during a normal lunch RUSH. Just keep expectations around all of this and you shouldn’t be too surprised.

Good food, terrible service.
I got the half rack of Texas Dusted ribs with the popcorn shrimp.
Pretty decent ribs, okay amount of seasoning. The popcorn shrimp is heavily breaded and is actually super delicious.
The service I received during lunch with my party was maybe the worst service I’ve had in a long time.
Long periods of not seeing our waiter. Waiting 15 minutes for the first beverage. Having to scour the floor for our waiter for a refill. Wrong orders, very apathetic and inattentive.
Maybe I just got a bad apple but I doubt I would plan on coming here in the future.

This is an updated review. Working and living near this Ruby Tuesday has meant I’ve eaten there sporadically over the years. That itself means that it is has been consistently good enough to draw me back. That does say something.
Months back I experienced atrocious service and wrote about it and gave this Ruby Tuesday’s a terrible review. I returned recently. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT.
That makes all the difference in the world. Food was predictably fine. Not incredibly great, but truly better than most places, which is why I’ve returned over the years. If service stays this good I’ll be back more often. Its good and reliable and reasonably priced.

Consistently good food and fabulous bartenders. If you read below, ignore David O. I’ve been here while he is here. He orders Diet Coke, demands free biscuits, and complains over nothing. It’s unfortunate the restaurant can’t respond, but I can. The server/​bartender he had when he wrote this is one of the best in the DC area.

Good food but service slow. We were thw only guests and sercive was eh. Sticky floors and bathroom was 100degrees. So 3 star only because cleanliness was sub par.

We were always curious about trying a Ruby Tuesday, now we can say be there done that. It was just a basic chain restaurant. My son and I tried the ribs and they were okay. My husband tried the Asiago steak, and he was sick the whole night. I would suggest sticking with simple foods if dining here.

I had been craving Ruby Tuesday for months. Living in the West Coast, I don’t have any nearby so last month when I was visiting DC I came across this place and I had to eat here!!! The customer service was great. The place was clean. I ordered the spicy jalapeño pretzel cheeseburger and OMG! It was DELICIOUS! They have a nice salad bar as well, but to be honest, I didn’t even try it. I was too busy eating my delicious burger with my delicious fries.

Always a big fan of Ruby Tuesday as long as the waiters and waitresses are polite.
This place’s cocktails are more expensive than other RT places. I guess it’s because Rosslyn rent is more expensive.

Have always had good experiences here. Service has been very quick and the food always come hot. My husband usually gets a burger. I’ve tried a few things, last thing I had was the salmon with some very delicious mashed potatoes.

Today I experience the worst service ever they gave me appetizer dinner and dessert was wrong then they was so racist because I’m an African American I had a bad experience there today and I choose not to go back the manager apologized for the situation and gave me his card and phone number but I would never go there ever.

DO NOT COME HERE!!! Specially with big parties, I understand having a bad work day but when your server is calling you a brat and other inappropriate words it’s not a bad day. Always ask the opposite of what you want and you’ll get the right thing, if I could give this place zero stars I would, I mean the server cussed out my friends. My friend order a well done burger and it came out raw, not rare, but raw!

We stopped for happy hour after a long week of language training. The bar area is tiny. If you’re with any sizable group, go elsewhere. To add insult to injury, dammed near every liquor bottle was empty. Does the Rosslyn/​DC area not have liquor laws? How do you keep empty bottles on the shelves? And not just a couple. Crazy. I asked the barkeep if he had more in the back. ” No.” was his reply. The one and only bartender was totally overwhelmed by the crowd. This was two trips in one for me for sure.

We stayed across the street at the Hyatt for our grandparents funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. We had 7 small children and 4 adults and ate there 2 days in a row. The second day, the manager who I think is named Ricardo, insisted on bringing all of our children ice cream and then brought the adults each a slice of cheesecake, on the house, to welcome us to Arlington. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and the food was delicious. We were all very grateful for such a generous act of kindness on a very hard day!

No Dark & Stormy here, but unlimited salad bar! Man having an unlimited salad bar reminds me back when Wendy’s had that. Unlimited chocolate pudding, baby!

Awesome experience! The ribs were to die for! The chicken tenders were ok, my husband pork chops were delicious! The service was superb, it was really enjoyable to be here and the waitress was so attentive.
Great job Ruby Tuesday’s!
