Ruby Tuesday

Nice to eat in restaurant this time of year with excellent and courteous staff. Their honey bourbon pork chop was spicier than expected but their server, James, quickly replaced with another – minus sauce, which was tender and juicy. He said «whatever it takes to make you, our customer happy». Ask for him, he’s great!

The food is adequate enough for a chain. What use to be a great place for a salad bar now is a little disappointing. Salad bar was messy with items missing at prime dinner traffic time; 6:30pm, without anyone tending to the bar. Service was a little slow, waitress not attentive but pleasant enough. Overall below expectations for a bistro but on par for a burger joint.

Great place to eat! Definitely one of my favorite chain restaurants. Their salmon is always good! It’s rare to find a restaurant that doesn’t make their salmon dry… most places I go to tend to have dry salmon but not Ruby Tuesday’s! :)

I can’t stress enough about how accurate the other reviews have been with the disappointments. We had reservations at 530 and sat almost immediately… yet we didn’t leave for 2 hours.
1) We had to ask for the biscuits about an hour after waiting for our food… she had some excuse.
2) It took 15 minutes and I had to ask 2x for my drink
3) Waitress asked how things were about every 30 minutes… duh — bad we didn’t have anything
4) An hour and a half later when the food came out, it didn’t even have what we ordered on it. I was missing ½ of what should have been on the fish tacos. My son didn’t even have cheese on his cheese hamburger. Veggies were all cold!
5) 2 other tables around us have just about the same problems
The best was another table — the waiter came to them and ask if they wanted desert. They responded yes but they didn’t have their food yet… That wasn’t even the funny part. The waiter was their waiter!!! Hah!
This place seems very lost… at every level.

Terrible experience! Very slow service, mediocre food. Had the jumbo skewered shrimp. 9 VERY SMALL shrimp. The waitress even laughed when I
Commented on the very small size of the jumbo shrimp. 3 others in our party were served lukewarm food. NEVER AGAIN!

Very good place to eat, steak, salmon and chicken dishes are delightful. I love the steak tender and cooked just right and yes I’ve had it more then one time. My wife changes dishes every time we visit. There salad bar is so flesh and we’ll stocked. Are waitress (Ashley) is great with her customers, very attentive. Join the club and get coupons, free hamburger on your birthday! :-)

I really want this place to be good, but damn, do they need some work. I come into Inverness every once in awhile to visit my family and I stay down the road at the local hotel. So I pop in for a drink or a quick meal here/​there — and just about every time it’s highly disappointing. My complaints are numerous based on previous visits, but I’ll stick to the issues of the day. The water tastes horrid, like sewage. The salad bar was completely depleted and only restocked just as a finished my meal. I requested biscuits 3 different times, finally they arrived as I had already finished dinner. the bar tender said multiple times «it’s not my fault» — like that matters? The response should be «I’m sorry our team has failed you» — not a denial of responsibility!
At one point I heard someone say ‘we’re so busy’ when the place was hardly ¹⁄₃ full. a good manager should know how to properly staff.
This place needs a good kick in the butt. It has a lot of potential and is in a great location, but step it up.
It’ll be a long time before I go back, if ever. Enter at your own risk.

From the moment we walked in there was no host/​hostess at the front. We had to see ourselves to the bar, and we were ignored by the bartender for two minutes while she talked to coworkers who were off work and seated at the bar. When we got to the car to check our to go order we saw that the spring rolls were not what we saw or ordered from the menu online. Then I went inside to check with the waitress when I was informed that they no longer carried those spring rolls. At this point I was so annoyed I got in the car and left. My fiancé and I were halfway home when we realized that none of our meals received the dipping sauces, including the big dipper. I spent fifty dollars including the tip, and will never go back.

The Food was ok but we got stressed by the Service. Appetizer was just on table when the entrée was served.
We finished Dinner after 45 min! By the way the Restaurant wasn’t filled up with guests so much.

Same old scene. Decent salad bar, burgers, and nasty Chinese grown Tilapia fish. Years ago you could get Catfish at Ruby Tuesday. Sadly because of the extremely high profit margin on trashfish (Tilapia) the only other fish here is Salmon. We did enjoy some appetizers here, and the bar here is always good. The servers mixed up the orders a little, but they were not slow. BTW just Google «Truth about Tilapia» for some very interesting reading.

I’d actually never been to a Ruby Tuesday before I stepped into this location, just outside The Villages, in Florida.
My cousin recently got a job working for this store and so, while we were out driving around visiting family, my mom and sister and I decided to stop in and show our support!
I have to say, during our stay in Florida (in two different locations) I was pretty disappointed with the food overall. We’d eaten at a couple of ‘nice’ restaurants with other family members that we were visiting, and generally the food was mediocre.
BUT, I’m happy to say that our meal at Ruby Tuesday was probably the best one we had while we were in Florida! I know my cousin has worked with the managers and other staff there to help set a new standard of quality and customer service, and they are really doing a great job! Everyone we spoke with at the restaurant was incredibly kind and helpful!
I had one of the chicken dishes, I think it was called Chicken Bella, or something like that. It had sauteed mushrooms and diced artichokes and it was AMAZING!
You know, generally in these types of chains, you get a pre-​soaked chicken breast that ends up being more rubber than meat. But the chicken breast I had for lunch was a respectable size, looked hand cut, and I could see the grain of the meat when I cut into it – just like real meat that you cook at home :) And the salad bar! Those veggies are fresh! I saw quite a few salad bars while I was down south (in GA, NC and FL) and let me tell you, most of them looked pretty brown and sad! This was the best veggie spread (and the freshest by far!) that I saw during my trip.
In general, I don’t really put much stock in these types of chain restaurants, but this particular location was a pleasant surprise! If I didn’t live all the way across the country in Los Angeles, I would certainly eat there again!
Thanks Justin, and to our server and the general manager — who all contributed to a great dining experience.
If you haven’t been to this location in a while and you live in the area, give it another try!
