Thai Ruby

Had lunch with my dad there, after food was served I needed son extra napkins as we were eating ribs. My waiter was busy, so I waved at three other waiters, they looked right at me and never came by, I waved like I was the queen of England??? lol but nothing, almost wanted to yell, anyway the manager was expediting. He too was looking right at me 15 feet directly in front of his face. i mean if any more obvious I would be on stage in a play. When he finally came over he said well sometimes I look over the restaurant floor and don’t see anything. I wonder if that applies to shortages in the daily till… no table awerness at all by manager or wait staff, poor service, poor service and stupid remark by manager… a sad state of affairs for ruby Tuesday.

Perfect. Attractive décor. Not too noisy. Attentive friendly service. Reasonable prices and serving sizes. And delicious food. I had a special: grilled salmon with a pineapple curry sauce over mixed vegetables with fried rice on the side. I loved every bite.

Absolutely wonderful lunch. I ordered the red curry chicken. I like to order the dish in a mild flavor and then add my own heat from the spice tray. The service was warm and friendly. I will definitely return.

This is a great place for Thai food. I have eaten here for years and love the Amazing Beef. Excellent service.

Not bad Thai food for its location in The Villages. But we are used to Thai from metro Detroit which is definitely better. We started safe and did carry out of Pad Thai and Fried Rice. Interior was very appealing.

Coming from California, pad thai here is too sweet for my taste. Also ordered a Tom … Soup that had coconut milk and chicken in it, tasted decent. I might come back to try the fried rice plates. Service was good, I have nothing to complain about that.

The service was great, but the food? So so. It’s fine if you’re into super bland food. The food had no spice (Thai fried rice, pepper pork and beef were ordered). This restaurant is likely catering to an older clientele that does not prefer spicy food. It satisfied my 90 year old grandfather, but it left the rest of us wishing we had left The Villages to find some authentic cuisine.

I really enjoy their food. Their ingredients taste so fresh. I usually get a noodle dish with chicken. If you like spicy food, make sure you ask for it hot because their mild has no kick to it. I prefer the mild personally, and enjoy the freshness of their ingredients. The fried wontons with sweet potatoes are an excellent appitizer!

I come to the villages every so often but haven’t ventured away from 441. Tonight, I was in a mood for a drive. Although, only 15 minutes from where I was, I wanted Thai food.
The food was good, 4 stars. I gave this place 5 stars because of their incredible customer service. The staff could not have been any nicer. I watched them with other tables and observed. I was by myself, sadly, usually am when I travel during the week. I felt very welcomed and almost as if I had friends here as the staff kept checking on me more than the regular tables.
Everyone was smiling, laughing and in a great mood. I can’t wait to return.

The atmosphere is decent, the staff was friendly but lacked on being attentive. Fish is all frozen, except the salmon. I had soup and Pad Thai, it lacked the standard Thai punch that the culture is famous for. The Pad Thai was rather bland tasting. All in all this place is really marginal and priced for top quality. Unfortunately it’s the only Thai game in town.

Took my Mama to lunch while visiting her in The Villages and talked her into trying something different. Neither of us eat Thai but felt comfortable with the reviews. Service, ambiance, décor, and food were all very spectacular! I had pad thai and Mama had a fish lunch special that had some sort of spicy yet sweet red sauce. It was very flavorful, just the right price, and fresh. Wil try again. Server helps provide the right amount of spice and flavor.

Great service, great ambience and amazing food! I can’t believe I haven’t been here yet! Right when we came in we were immediately greeted with friendly smiles. The restaurant is decorated very nicely and the ambience of the place leaves the impression that it makes a great place for a date or fancy lunch.
The food was great and had just the right amount of seasoning and spiciness. The flavor was just perfect. Not to mention food came out very fast!

Pad Thai great. I asked for medium spicy and it was perfectly spiced. The Thai tea was very refreshing. The décor is nice with pillowed seating in areas. Service was pleasant, knowledgable and fast.

We have been here a couple of times. We love Thai food and consider this restaurant one of the better Thai food restaurants that we have been to. The people are very nice and the service has been great both times. We really love Pad Thai. Their Seafood Pad Thai is to die for. Perfectly prepared sea scallops, shrimp, mussels and octopus. Cooked just right. We RV full time and come here while we’re in the area. We would return.

Very good meal and service. My Chicken Pad Thai and my husband’s Shrimp and Vegetables were a bit too bland. More spice would have given a 5 star rating.

I’m here for something spicy! Their menu has many choices spiced to your level of heat! The noodle dishes are excellent!

Great Thai tastes. We started with the Crab Rangoon which was great —- a little different with a light curry taste. I had the Tornado Shrimp which was delicious. The curry sauce was outstanding, The only possible thing that could have been better was that the green beans could have been a little more tender. My wife had the shrimp with baby corn and said it was one of the best shrimp dishes ever.
Best Thai restaurant in The Villages.

Nice place, quick service. But I had the broccoli beef lunch and it was pretty boring. Beef was cooked (boiled???) with no seasoning, gravy was sooo thin and flavorless. Hubby got Chicken Panang and it was tasty. Both lunches were fairly small servings. Even the bowl of soup and 1 appetizer were both a VERY SMALL PORTION!
Don’t go there if you are hungry. We won’t be back.

Now if this place were in NYC, it’d get three stars from me but here in the Villages it’s great! They actually had fresh vegetables and fresh food prepared in a tasty (non fried gator) kind of way — hooray!
The tofu and mixed vegetables were perfectly prepared. Veggies cooked to the verge of perfection.
And, they have a lovely little drink selection allowing me to have a pleasant Chardonnay with my meal.
What pushes their star rating up for me however, is actually having a dedicated «microbiotic section» of the menu — ha! I will definitely be ordering plenty of mAcrobiotic food from them in the future.

My favorite take out joint in The Villages! Always good to go, when it is too crowded with all the snowbirds in town. Plenty of seating on the Square, if the weather is ok.
