Ruby Tuesday

Solid lunch spot with a great salad bar. I am still trying to figure out their pricing structure. How can soup and salad be only $ 2 less than a steak, side and salad? They might do that on purpose because I always end up spending just a bit more to get a dish with the salad bar as a side. However you could get the salad bar as a main and never go hungry again. There is a huge amount of choice from bacon bits to edamame. The food has always been fresh and promptly served.
Last time I went here I was my usual 10 minutes early. The person who was meeting me was about 10 minutes late. Other early birds can relate to sitting alone in a booth staring at your phone trying to look cool and collected. The waiter in this situation was absolutely great! He brought waters, and after confirming I would wait to order he still brought out some biscuits for me to snack on. It is little experiences that can lift a chain experience to an outstanding lunch.
I can be a little tricky to find with the construction. Don’t be discouraged if you think you are driving onto a job site. It is probably fine until the men in orange vests start yelling.

It just keeps getting worse at this location. On a recent visit with my coworkers our server got 3 out of 7 orders wrong and one she forgot completely and had to get the manager to rush the order. The problem is you can’t rush salmon and he ended up getting his meal when everyone else finished eating. Other things that were wrong was the slooooowwww service and my other two coworkers who didn’t get shrimp or the correct veggie. But that took forever to fix. And portions are tiny. You no longer get your money’s worth here.
The server was so bad that the rest of the staff was sucking up to us. Constant apologies from the manager.
Every time I’ve been back here, it’s been worse than the previous visit. If the place wasn’t down the street from my work, I would avoid this place completely. Honestly, Ruby, I don’t know what’s happened to you. You used to be such a good chain. Now even Jack in the Box down the street is better than you.
Save your dollars and go elsewhere. There are several better places about a mile down the road.

This was the worst experience we’ve ever had at a restaurant. There were 3 servers working plus a trainee we were one of 5 tables in the restaurant. It took almost 15 minutes for us to order. The food was just above room temperature. I paid in cash and waited 10 minutes for change. With the exception of the hostess, the entire staff was back in the kitchen. Bad food and bad service. Gas is cheap, drive an extra 10 minutes and go to a different location. I would give it a 0 if I could

Went for lunch today with my lunch companion. As usual, we walk in and there’s no host at the podium, so we wait (strike one). Then we were given very different menus so my lunch companion and I were confused for the first few minutes until we figured that out (strike 2). Then I finally asked where the «lunch» menu was and was told that there were 3, yes three lunch options– 1 with red meat and 2 options for seafood, but no chicken option at all??? (strike 3)
So if you want chicken for lunch, be prepared to pay the full dinner price for it and get ready to have a $ 15+ lunch. I’m sorry Ruby Tuesday, but this simply isn’t acceptable. Our waiter was kind and helpful and our food was tasty enough, but nothing that I’d return to get for LUNCH at those prices.

Waited at the bar on a Tuesday night for over 45 minutes for a to-​go order. Didn’t seem like there was any sense of urgency.

Always enjoy eating here. Salad bar is always stocked. Atmosphere is generally quiet.

This place has always been a default or compromise destination, never a first pick in the restaurant wars. They follow the Ruby Tuesday playbook and if your expectations are along those lines then you’ll enjoy the place. The one wildcard is the service.
I’ve tried at the tables and at the bar. There’s no magic formula to getting good service unlike other locations. It’s a roll of the dice no matter where you sit.
The food is somewhat consistent and there are healthy options which is why they beat out the fast food chains nearby. It’s a middle-​of-​the-​road kinda place. If your group can’t come to a consensus then this restaurant will be least likely to suck.

Horrible! My steak was overcooked and rubbery. I had requested medium rare, it was more like well-​done. I seriously could not saw through it with the giant steak knife I was given. I had also asked the server for Heinz 57 and she puts ketchup on the table (REALLY???). When I complained about my steak, the manager offered to knock a couple bucks off (Again, Really!!!)

I come here occasionally for dinner. Salad bar is decent, staff is good and friendly, entrees are unremarkable but good enough. I always sit at the bar and enjoy the TV while eating.
Overall, a typical Ruby Tuesday — there are no surprises here.

We stopped in for a quick lunch today and it was a good experience. Server was excellent and attentive. Salad bar couldn’t have been fresher. Each dish was tasty. Tortilla soup was great. Chicken quesadilla was just spicy enough. Fried shrimp were just a little too breaded. Very good overall.

Great salad bar as usual I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and there was not one shred of chicken in it I would recommend staying away from the chicken tortilla soup.

I had a Hickory Bourbon glazed pork chop. It was delicious!!! The service was fantastic as well. Only thing — pork choices far fewer than chicken or steak. But other than that, no complaints

I stopped in with 3 coworkers for a round of drinks and some food. The atmosphere was ok and we were seated relatively quickly in the bar area. We did, however, have to wait a little bit for our drinks to be brought to us (even though we could see them sitting on the bar). Our food only took about 10 minutes to arrive. So overall, the experience was not bad! I will be back the next time I’m in the area on business.

Service was poor and lunch took over an hour for two people.

I’m not sure if it’s a new company standard, or just this location, but I’m never retuning.
Rude service, food was wrong, quantity dropped, quality gone.
I know it sounds ghetto, but this place was my favorite place for steak, no longer.

After raving about my last visit to Ruby’s I was overly excited when my girlfriends said they wanted to have dinner here. However, this visit just did not wow me.
We arrived a little after 6:30 the hostess was able to get us to a booth quickly. However, we waited… and waited until our waitress finally came over and the first thing she says to us is «looks like you’re stuck with me tonight» Now, I don’t know much about being a waitress (ok.ok I don’t know anything about it) but I’m sure there’s a better intro for your customers… or maybe that’s just the new «thing» and I’m just not hip to it.
Anywhoo on to my meal:
Pomegranate Lemonade– I was a bit turned off by the price ($ 3.49) a glass BUT they do offer refills and each one is freshly made. This drink is freaking delicious. Worth every penny, not too sweet or sour, just the right amount of pomegranate juice… Soooooo good! Get it! Get it! Get it!
Salad Bar– Meh. It needed to be replenished and there were toppings dropped all around the containers, some of the lettuce had browned and the worse part was that my favorite croutons were stale. Hopefully, this was just a «wrong time… wrong day» experience.
Spicy Fish Tacos– Welp. the presentation was lacking. But the tacos tasted great. The fish was very well seasoned, with lettuce and cheese with a delicious spicy ranch sauce.
Overall, this visit was just okay. Didn’t knock my socks off but I really enjoyed my lemonade and the food was good.
So I’ll make sure to give them another shot.

Every once in a while I crave Ruby Tuesday’s salad bar — not sure why as I am not a fan of anything that requires a sneeze-​guard, so I get there early before grubby paws line up. Conveniently located just off of 77 on Arrowood, you can quickly get in and out of the place if needed.
I arrived right at 11:30 to a basically empty restaurant. The friendly hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, I said that was fine as long as it wasn’t bar stool seating. I was seated in a booth at the back of the bar that was right next to the effin’ server/​take out door. I was professionally dressed and took a shower, so I don’t know why I was relegated to seating hell. There’s a glass door, so I was blinded by the light (wrapped up like a deuce…), the young lady that was waiting on me attempted to pull the rickety shade down to block the sunlight, but then the manager took care of it. Which solved the light problem, but every time the door was opened (8 times while I was sitting there), I got a shot of the sun and a gust of wind that blew everything not weighted down on my table around. The seating… sucked. But the booth was comfy.
The salad bar today was meh. The greens (they have spinach, an iceberg mix, a springier greens mix and then a mix of everything) were looking a little ragged. There was a lot of the tough white part of the iceberg lettuce in the mix. Peas and ham were sitting on a liquid of some sort that wasn’t terribly appetizing. But, there is a huge selection of items on the bar, and typically they replenish it pretty frequently. Lettuces, cucumbers, green peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, edamame, peas, broccoli, some mayo based salads, many different kinds of dressings, bacon, croutons, diced egg, etc. I piled up my plate and it was good — although drenching things in blue cheese dressing always makes them a little better.
Service was fine and friendly. She brought me a couple of their garlic cheese biscuits, which are small but quite tasty. I didn’t require much attention today, but she did a good job. $ 7.99 for the salad bar is a good price. I made two trips and feel I got my money’s worth.

Well, service is mediocre and food was cold. Won’t be back here anytime soon.
Visiting a known chain restaurant like Ruby Tuesday’s, you know what your going to get and you know the standard. Having worked in a similar chain I know how these restaurants are ran. When service is not so great and food is not very good then I blame management.
Ques o for an appetizer was not bad as long as you don’t mind old, stale, and chewy chips. That is just gross. The salad bar is always good at Ruby’s right? Well yes, as long as the employee is continuously filling the empties. Only here they were filling up half empties and leaving items such as cheese gone. Salmon and mash potatoes are all me! Only the mash was cold. Layer of dust on the lampshades just grossed me out.
I usually like a Ruby Tuesday’s meal, so I was very disaponted at this location. I will not be back here anytime soon.

A co-​worker and I went here yesterday for lunch on a business trip to Charlotte. Our server Kelly was stingy with the tiny biscuits they serve and only brought us 2 biscuits to share for 2 people. The biscuits are good but are literally the size of one bite. Other servers were serving 2 biscuits per person to their tables. I had the petite shrimp plate with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The food was good but I felt a little ripped off about being charged extra for asparagus since the plate does come with 2 sides. There were maybe 5 small spears of asparagus on my plate. Our drinks were refilled promptly and that was good. Oh, I also think that $ 3.50 is too much to pay for a raspberry lemonade.

This review is for the Arrowood location.
Good
Biscuits are delicious
Seated quickly with large party
Salad bar was well stocked
Waitress made new tea once requested
Bad
Score was a 90… didn’t see this until our way out. Gross!
1^st batch of tea was terrible. We paid 7.50 for 3… ridiculous
Our waitress had too many tables so I do not feel we were adequately taken care of
The manager did not pay the same attention or service to our table as he did ours… this bothered me more than anything. I felt somewhat discriminated against.
Not a great experience. Definitely will not be back to this location!!!
