Ruby’s Diner

It was an okay place to eat… very overpriced but it is the airport so what else would I expect… but it was nice to sit down and get a meal and the shakes are great!!!

It was ok. The service was good and friendly. The fries could be better and the soda didn’t have gas. Other than that it was ok.

I was connecting through Houston from Costa Rica and was starving. I stopped in and was concerned about catching my connection to Chicago-​no need to worry. I had my burger, cooked impeccably and specific to my request in under 5 minutes. It was delicious and so fast – fabulous combination. I did think it was a little steep– had a cheeseburger and a coke and it was like $ 20 but it was the airport and it hit the spot in a big way. Great experience.

A Refreshing Surprise!
Ruby’s impressed me on all levels. Had an extra long layover (almost 4 hours)… with a taste for an all American Burger, yet one as good I’d make myself at home.
Found Ruby’s on Unilocal.
Everyone on staff was friendly, efficient, professional and helpful. The service was excellent, as if from a bygone era. The whole experience was refreshing. Ordered a Swiss & mushroom burger with guacamole & fries & a fresh squeezed lemonade.
Everything was excellent, fast, hot & delicious. I travelled to the international terminal E for this restaurant with great Unilocal reviews. Now I am confirming & adding to them.
My waiter Chuck was so fully invested in offering up the best service possible and having a joyful time doing so, I sensed this guy will succeed at anything he energizes…& Told him so. He is an engineering student. Friendly, professional and so bright. How refreshing!
The burger had some color in the middle, and all the ingredients tasted high quality. It was all a sheer delight.
Ride that train and give Ruby’s a shot! It’s awesome.
Even the oldies music hits from the 60’s & 70’s made me smile… From Elvis to Motown. Well done!
Also a spacious well designed space to accommodate many quickly.
Loved being surrounded by beautiful international travelers & fun young American Employees, all offering up kind, warm genuine smiles! I sat near the entrance and watched the amazing people parade, trailing by.
Houston is cool!
I’d definitely come back!

This is the best food and service I have had in an airport in quite a while, and their sign is correct: the price is fair. Only reason I didn’t do 5 stars is bc the beer price isn’t listed, I know it’s expensive in the airport but $ 9 for a pint glass is a little pricey. I would have probably bought it anyways but you feel taken when you get the receipt. I say at the bar and the service was great and fast, food was good and he beer was cold. Other airport eateries should take some pointers from this place.

Great airport stop! Food was fantastic service was top notch. Recommend this place for a quick airport bite!

Pretty good burgers at a decent price. The beer selection is pretty good too.
It’s a greasy spoon diner… So the food is what it is. And it’s in an airport. I wouldn’t suggest eating the tuna melt… It wasn’t very good. The burgers and chicken were much better

Dashing from one gate to another to catch your connection can be incredibly stressful, especially since your flight is always on the other side of the airport.
Craziness like this deserves a guilty pleasure, for me that’s a good vanilla shake. Last time I was in IAH I had my typical experience of mad running across the terminal. I managed to get there with time to spare thanks to a slight delay on the flight and decided I deserved a treat to calm my nerves. Ruby’s was nearby and had a big sign advertising their shakes.
Service was pleasant and fast, they got me my shake without any delay or hassle. This is exactly what I look for in an airport restaurant. They know everyone is in a rush to catch a flight and just go with it. The shake itself was delightful, although I didn’t get any malt with it.
Maybe next time I’m running through IAH I’ll stop and see what other food they have.

vor dem Abflug Nochmal lecker Burger, ist echt eine gute Kette, lecker, Preis Ok, gern wieder

I was very glad to find this place, when I had to spend ages waiting around for a flight at Houston airport.
They do great cocktails, burgers and fries. The frozen margaritas were especially good.
We were delayed so long, actually got a photo with the waitress.
