Ruby Tuesday

I can’t even… ugh. we ordered drinks then a dinner to share. About 20 minutes later our waiter began apologizing for the wait, after 10 more minutes 5 here was an «accident» in the kitchen with our shrimp… but wait, we didn’t order shrimp??? Then the shrimp came to the table — we ordered chicken and crab cakes…20 minutes later we got our food. It was not good. Didn’t even look appetzing. And the crab «cakes» had been smooshed on our plate to look like 2 when I’m pretty sure it was only one. Not likely coming back here.

«Scrape ‘em off» summarizes my experiance at this place.
Arrived on a mid-​week night and the place is empty, more waitresses than customers … yes, a bad sign. Orderered steak with a side of mushrooms emphasizing I wanted the mushrooms as a side not just a couple thrown on top. Guess how it came out? Yep, a couple of charred mushrooms on top of the steak with no side.
Waitress looked sheepesh as she was dropping off the plate and I objected to what she’d just placed in front off me. Rather than try and make amends she replied;
«I don’t know what happend, thats just the way they makem’ I guess, you can scrape ‘em off with a knife.».
Thank you Ruby Tuesday Lincoln, NE for an outstanding customer experiance!
Overall place is a little stinky like it hasn’t been cleaned in a long time and the staff seemed to be goofing around, dancing etc rather than serving the few customers they had. Its so bad that I suspect that the managment itself is rather incompetent and worry about what horrors lurk in the kitchen and beyond.
Won’t be back myself but frankly this location is truly an embarrassment to the brand that is crying out for an intervention from corporate.

Great, fresh salad bar.
Restrooms were clean, thank you.
Order taker was friendly
Salad bar stocked and ready for us both!

Typical chain restaurant. For me the only reason to come is the salad bar. Salad bar is always fresh and well stocked. Kid friendly menu but a little on the expensive side, although kids meals are plentiful. Bathrooms are pretty gross and need an overhaul.

Decent chain food. The salad bar isn’t as epic as it once was. I think these types of chains aren’t doing as great as they used too and probably had to cut back a bit. The bar is nice and they have a margarita flight which is a fun way to try 4 different kinds in one sitting! If you sign up for their email club you get a free burger coupon up to a $ 10 value. This last May I got mine as is my birthday tradition to take myself to lunch there. I substituted the one trip salad bar for my fries and got the turkey burger and water for my drink. With tax and tip and the small up charge for the salad bar I left paying $ 4 which was a great bday treat for me!

I usually enjoy having a Ruby Tuesday in the neighborhood, but tonight’s experience had us wondering how long they will be in business. We got there around 8:30 far from closing time and we noticed several staff pulling tables out cleaning and no problem but then there got to be 4 of them and they were joking around and then they were dancing to Taylor swift «shake it off» song. It is a catching tune so we thought they would only briefly dance. We know there’s nothing wrong with having good time but they kept it up singing and dancing to each other. We kept saying we should video them but we didn’t. It seemed very unprofessional and it wasn’t like we were the only ones in there close to closing. There was 4 tables of people. One couple dealt a long time with a manager. Then another staff was digging with her fingers into a salt shaker to refill it and the tab must of went inside so we watched her digging without gloves into the salt. Our server was friendly but seemed very robotic in what she said and was in such hurry to take our plates that the dressing went flying off my brothers salad plate and we tried telling her but she was just going so fast. Then when we did want our ticket hard to find her also had heard her down talking the other staff to the complaining couple. The hostess seemed lost and didn’t bring enough menus when seated. Then when we got home none of us felt good, several stomach aches. Justine dr had such a low quality service and food took so long to get as this time.

A good example of the chain. The salad bar is first rate, it includes many non-​lettuce options for those who need it. Included with some items, about $ 3 extra on others. Seems like a random choice on the menu as to if is included or not. The Salmon was ok, a little overcooked; the spaghetti squash is delightful. The Chicken Bella was a good choice, though hard to believe it is under 500 calories. The Onion rings are just OK. Service was friendly, but the entrees came out too quickly to allow finishing salads leisurely. Seems a bit pricey for this type of place, but the salad bar inclusion makes up for it if that’s what you like.

So, we ordered 4 meals. 2 came out perfect, one was wrong, just needed a simple fix… the other, the new Bella steak thing was ordered medium rare. I got it medium close to well! It was flavorless and just yuck!
BUT (the reason I’m giving 4 stars) they came out with a new steak that was cooked properly and full of flavor! It’s ok to make a mistake as long as they can fix it timely and well :)
Salad bar is always good. Wish they had cottage cheese, but oh well. We will keep coming back.

It’s been a long time since I stopped at a Ruby Tuesday. We were on our way through Lincoln around dinner time. After a little research I realized they had an allergen menu, so we decided to stop since I have dairy and gluten intolerances. I was really impressed with their allergen menu. It was really easy for me to find something to eat. I was also excited to see spaghetti squash and zucchini on their menu; two items I eat often but don’t typically see on a menu. Service was good. Pretty quick experience too.

Visited Ruby Tuesday’s (3−2−15) following some meeting we had in the evening, so my friend and I didn’t get there until at least 8:00 PM. He had a nice pork chop and I had the popcorn shrimp with a side of onion rings. The staff was pleasant but since when does one have to ask for cocktail sauce for the shrimp? That plus the shrimp and the onion rings were WAY over cooked… hard as a rock. I couldn’t eat all of them as they were too hard. I should have asked and complained to the manager but I was too tired to haggle with them. Of note, the salad bar was wonderful and thus Ruby Tuesday’s getting better than a 1-​star rating. Even so, they didn’t have crackers or bread items on the salad bar. Personally I thought my meal sucked, but my friends pork chop was very good.
Moral of the story… caveat emptor. If I ever go back it won’t be for the popcorn shrimp, I’ll get the chops instead.

My friend and I drove all the way across town to get our salad bar fix and had the worst experience (had it not been for our wonderful server, Kelly D, we would have just walked out). After eating our salad bars we waited 28 minutes before getting our dinners. We asked our waitress if this was normal and she said yes it was there were numerous other complaints about the kitchen and how long it took to get the meals out. She stated that just the other day they had a42 minute time wait on their ticket. Our friend was having a baby and we were in a bit of a hurry. When the manager came over he was very rude to us saying the time was not any longer than normal (go figure if everyone is complaining) and he was sorry which didn’t seem one bit genuine. He didn’t ask if he could do anything to make our experience better even when we told him we drove all the way from south Lincoln. The server was very genuine and apologized many times for the inconvenience and gave us a free dessert for our friend who was having a baby. We are very disappointed in how we were treated and the time it took to have our dinner. This place better get their act together or they may close just like the south location did.

Not even a buy one get one free will get me back to Ruby Tuesdays. They have gone down hill big time. Even with a coupon they were expensive. The food was not good at all. Would of been better off eating at McDonalds. I really look for the only Ruby Tuesdays left in Lincoln to close within the next few years.

Moderate pricing, nice restaurant.
We got the salad bar and a sampler for our order. While the salad bar was good enough, they managed to forget our sampler order. The night we were there it wasn’t even particularly busy, maybe 50% full at most. After a half an hour our server said it would be out in 2 or 3 minutes. 10 minutes later it still wasn’t out.
We had them take it off our check at about the 1 hour mark.
Overall not a great experience but maybe worth a shot, we could’ve just had bad luck.

I would say we eat here on a fairly regular basis. The service and food was very disappointing this time:(. Hamburger was under cooked, garnish was in the burger when asked to be left off, chicken sandwich was different and service was slow, water glasses were empty several times

Haven’t been to a Ruby Tuesday in forever, but my friends suggested it since it was close to the hotel and we were tired of the usual Haymarket etc. places. I was genuinely surprised that this was the star of our visit to town this time around. We sat at a table in the bar area and it was very inviting, comfortable, and clean. Our server was a pro in every regard and spot on when needed, yet not underfoot otherwise. The manager came by and spoke with us. He clearly was in control and on top of his game in providing a good dining experience.
The food was served up quickly and proved to be very good; two steak entrees for the men and a salad bar for the lady. She said the salad bar was very good. The premium side dish upgrades went very well with our steaks, which were prepared as requested. Not sure if we were just lucky on this visit compared to some of the other reviews, but this was one of my better dining experiences in maybe 8 visits to Lincoln over the last 4 years. I was also impressed with the menu and overall upgrades to Ruby Tuesday and will definitely add it to my list of places to eat & drink at.

Did you know you can get the salad bar to go? Genius!

Ruby Tuesday’s consistently provides outstanding food. From delicious burgers, to more upscale fair like steaks or seafood the food is consistently great regardless of the city, or location. Their salad bar also never disappoints. Lots of great options, and its always fresh.
My only problem with this particular Ruby Tuesday is service. This one is closest to our house so it is most likely to be the one we go to. But the last couple of years, we seem to have an issue with the service nearly every time we go. Long waits for food, incorrect orders, or rude wait staff. I actually had one of their waiters stand right next to me and chat with his friends at the booth next to me with his butt inches from my head for at least 15 minutes. Awful.
Come for the food, leave angry because of the service.

I love Ruby Tuesday’s big fresh salad bar!
Good food and plenty of service.

I love Ruby Tuesday’s fresh, fresh, fresh all-​you-​can-​eat salad bar. Great healthy, cheap way to eat cheap and quick.
