Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday’s has always been one of my favorite restaurants. The salad bar is amazing and this particular restaurant has one of that best salad bars I’ve seen. It was very clean and very well refrigerated. I also had the chicken fresco and it was very good. Healthy, hot, and tasted delicious. I highly recommend this location to others.

Food was mediocre at best. The bartender looked amish, and our drinks tasted like we were in the middle of prohibition. It was only 830pm on a sat, and they were cleaning up around us like they couldn’t wait to get out of there. Would have had better luck at McDonald’s.

This was not as good as should have been. Service was o.k. but not great. It took too long for the server to come to the table. The server left empty dishes on the table when we were done. The steaks we had we not great. Both were fatty. 20.39 for a 12 oz Ribeye, really? Way overpriced. They did not even have a lunch menu. The server did not tell us of any specials

I was looking forward to a nice meal after a long day on the road. I definitely chose the wrong restaurant for a nice meal. I ordered the Bourbon Pork Chop and Salad Bar. The meal arrived very quick and after cutting the chop I knew why. I took the first bite and found an ice cold piece of pork. I felt the center of the chop and it was refrigerator cold. The mashed potatoes (dark brown) and green beans were very hot. I suspect they were microwaved prior to coming out.
The manager offered a replacement but I chose to stick with the salad.
There are many restaurants in the area, I would suggest avoiding this one.

Worst dining experience I’ve had in a looong while. Let’s start off with an old woman leaving the toilet stall behind me and making a beeline for the door, totally skipping the sink I was using. Ew. Old lady poopy hands on the all-​you-​can-​eat salad tongs. Next up is the ring of crud inside my fancy lemonade that cost $ 3.50 and took too long to come over from the bar. Pile on top of that, tiny, insulting biscuits that, while hot and tasty, were pathetic-​looking and an insult to Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits everywhere. The Thai-​phoon shrimp were good.
After that and a paltry salad, we awaited our $ 15+ entrée+side to arrive. I was INSULTED by the amount of food on the plate. A tiny roast-​beef-​like cut of meat that should not be called a steak with a pat of butter to hide the over-​cooked, dry surface with a plop of powdered mashed potatoes and 3 (pretty good) coconut shrimp. The shrimp, tbh, could have used RL’s delicious pineapple dip. I scrounged the last of the yum-​yum sauce from the Phoon shrimp with them to compensate for their dryness.
My husband’s mushroom-​smothered «steak» had a side of «grilled» zucchini that were really more like fried and swimming in a soup of butter that (probably fortunately) seeped into the bottom of his steak. WE ARE NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. OR TO ANY RUBY TUESDAY’S. That’s probably standard fare. I’m just happy I brought the coupons. Ironically, the coupons took the one good thing off the bill — the appetizer.

We go here often and always had a great experience! I usualy get a blackened fish and my husband ribs. We both enjoy our choices. The best thing is the salad bar that both our kids enjoy! Although the last time we went they did not have feta cheese anymore there were still a ton of options that my kids did enjoy… The service was pretty fast as well! We like Ruby Tuesday!

I was there on May 24, 2015. Kevin T was by far the worse waiter I have had in years. He was clipped and seem like we were bothering him. He couldn’t wait for Carl to finish his question about how the chicken was prepared, he just said everyone loves this dish. How about waiting for the question? Then we asked about the biscuits, oh they are in the oven. We placed our order and I gave him the coupon code. So we are sitting there waiting. And then the server brings our meals and Carl asked about the biscuits again… they’re in the oven. The next thing we know Kevin brings them and slams them on our table and said they may not be done. Exactly they were raw. I am shaking my head. He never asked us if the biscuits were raw? Pretty soon he slams the bill on the table. And yep it was wrong coupon not taken off. Carl complained to an uncaring manager. Carl had to leave because he got so frustrated. This manager said well I guess I will adjust it… what are you talking about honor the coupon! Then he said as he rolls his eyes I took off the $ 7.50…like it wasn’t a big deal. It was a big deal… but better yet it could have been part of the tip. They will never know now. I will never go back to that location. Horrible.

Im 34 years old with an out of state id and they would not serve me, saying the id was ‘faded’ though new york state ids are never shiny per se. Oh and the foods shit as well.

Just awful! I ordered a steak medium well and it looked like it was still breathing when it came to the table. It was WAY undercooked. The grits I ordered were so hard, I could barely get my fork in it.
The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because the manager did everything to accommodate me. He took the steak and grits off my bill and let me order a new meal. I ordered the cheese burger sliders with fries the second time and they were decent. The salad bar was good.

This is our go-​to place for the greatest salad bar ever! We’ve been to several other locations and this one is the best. friendly staff, the mini’s are great, the drinks are perfect! They come & throw out things at the salad bar that don’t ever look and hour old. always the coldest, freshest here. We can’t say enough about this great place.

Ugh… my best friend and my husband both love this place. I don’t get it! I do end up going with them somewhat often, which kills me because so many wonderful places are nearby (Wild Mango, Brown Bag Burger, Flavours of India, even Red Robin is better than this, for crying out loud…).
The salad bar is pretty good with variety if not freshness.
The food and the service have been about equally salty.
The worst thing ever is when the manager walks around to greet diners to ask how their meal is going. It’s so awkward, especially because I feel compelled to lie due to peer pressure and manners.
Redeeming quality: my MIL clips coupons for us all the time, so at least it’s cheap.

Very disappointing last night although it’s been OK in the past. Lettuce and mushrooms on salad bar were brown. Steak was so overcooked and dried out I had to send it back. Then they brought me another very overcooked and dried out steak (no pink at all when I ordered medium). Waiter agreed it was way overcooked and offered to take it back but I didn’t want to wait for a 3^rd.

My latest experiences at TR were very positive. The Bourbon Salmon was ‘to die for’! Very succulent and cooked right. Portions have gotten bigger too. And the salad bar was very clean and well kept. The key to ANY decent salad bar is getting there early, before all the slobs and neanderthals have had a chance to ‘re-​arrange’ everything. And before some of these troglodytes have had a chance to touch the large scoop spoons, presumably after changing the oil on their Camaros, or after scratching their balls or armpits! You get my point…
Lastly, someone should tell the employees there NOT to spray their chemical cleaner spray bottles on tabletops, because much of the fine mist goes into the air, where nearby patrons breathe in the toxins! You would think this is obvious!
UPDATE January 2015: I have to detract 2 stars, going from 4 down to 2. This place has a SERIOUS problem with their spray cleaner and window cleaner bottles! Recently, I was having a pleasant meal there when I observed an employee liberally spraying the glass hood right above the salad bar! Without question, much of the spray landed on the food below! Granted, this was a few minutes before closing time, but I still observed 3 people use the salad bar shortly after they sprayed that area! This is unacceptable. I don’t ever think I want to go back there again, ever.

Love a good salad. .. found it here both times.
After an hour-​long grueling workout of refrigerator examining and measuring at Sears outlet, suddenly craved a cool, crisp salad. Remembered having a great one just around the corner at Ruby Tuesday, so that’s where we headed.
Have been here only twice — a year ago, and again yesterday. Okay, I get it. Lots of diners don’t like salad bars for the obvious reasons. However, there seems to be enough glass (or plexi-​glass) separating eaters from edibles, so probably pretty safe. Just keep this in mind: Do any of us really know what may go on behind the swinging kitchen doors of any restaurant when we happen to be there? No — none of us do. Probably worse than anything we can imagine happening along a salad bar line in full view of fellow diners.
Staff * * * * *
Server Ryan and the manager, both great — friendly, helpful, attentive
Salad Bar * * * * *
All fresh: 5 star combination of a garden mix of lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, adamame, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, and an excellent blue cheese dressing — and afterwards, a small sampling of their Waldorf-​style salad. (However, didn’t care for their pasta/​vegetable and potato salads.) Had many other items and dressings to choose from.
Mini Burgers * * *
Actually, not that small. Comes with two, but after eating my salad, could eat only half of one. Pretty good flavor. Think it was just 8.99 with salad bar. Good value.
Dry-​Rubbed Baby Back Ribs * * * *
Very good, especially for having no sauce. (Available, but tried it without.)
Macaroni and Cheese * * *
Flavorful and creamy. My personal preference, however, would have more cream and firmer pasta.
Fries and Onion Rings *
Neither are good and neither are recommended. Either very poorly prepared or — more than likely — pre-​made, frozen, and baked to order. Nothing like deep frying fresh, which neither were. Especially awful were the onion rings. The coating had a very unpleasant, earthy-​like flavor, and an unappetizing panko-​like crumb. The manager quickly offered to prepare another order. It was the same. Onion rings should never be «breaded». The best and only preparation is a good batter, then deep-​fried — never baked — resulting in a slick and smooth exterior, with NO crumb texture.
What I’d order on a return visit? Salad Bar and Dry-​Rubbed Baby Backs

I gotta say I’m a fan of the chain. The standout features in my minds eye are the salad bar, the plethora of uncommon sides (e.g. smashed cauliflower, snow peas, asparagus) and the number of non-​deep-​fried seafood options they offer. Generally the service is good and so is the food. At our visit yesterday my food, (New Orleans seafood plate with asparagus and smashed cauliflower) was all quite good. My significant other got (oddly enough for her) Jambalaya. She’s not a big fan of sausage or chicken, so why Jambalya I don’t know. She did say she wouldn’t order it again. And if how it looked has anything to do with how it tasted, the chicken looked as though it had lain butchered in the Sahara for several days prior to being plated. Cracked from dehydration like a dried lake bed, so the fact that she ate the few shrimp on the dish and had the rest boxed up was no surprise.
Everyone knows the standard restaurant trick with rolls or biscuits; bring 3 for two people; each has one and no one will take the last so you never have to bring more. No one told that to this lady so she brought two, (and these biscuits are MINIATURE, like half-​dollar sized!) We each ate one and without asking she brought back four more! Whoa! Nice, generous but unecessary. The rest of the service was spotty. (Made the cardinal dining out error; when she tried to take our food order with the drink order and sent her away, after 5 or 10 minutes we sent two of our party out to search for her and they were never heard from again!)
And if a patron’s glass is empty, ask he or she if more of their beverage is desired when you’re at the table anyway, YAKNOWWHATIMEAN? Had two gift cards we were trying to use and asked her to use up the partially consumed one first (that means scan one to find out which one that is without ringing it up) got a jumbled convoluted mess of stuff back with the bill and was instructed to sign something whisking away all of the value of the remaining card which I didn’t do)
As my Ma used to say, «Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water» aka go to Ruby Tuesday’s but perhaps select another location!

I come here every thursday with 2 friends. For over 2 years now. I love the food here, however at times it can be on the salt side. But my burgers and steaks always come to the table at the right temp. I have never had to send back. And I am very pickie on how my meats are cooked. The servers r awesome… U go Eddy.
The mix drinks and apps r great too.

We go there about once a month or so and I can say that I can see what the previous reviewer was saying on some occasions, but our last 5 times there it was good. I can’t really speak on all the food selections, but the black and blue burger is amazing as is the spinach artichoke dip. The chicken strips have too much breading and the buffalo chicken barely has any flavor. The salad bar is great, but being a french dressing fan, I was saddened to learn that they have discontinued French dressing, but other than that, how bad can you screw up a salad.
Overall, not a great place, but not bottom of the barrel either.

The staff of this particular location make you feel sorry for going there. The inhospitable attitude states with the hostess (one of the rudest I’ve experienced) to wait staff who don’t care of your patronage to the manager who evidently turns a blind eye to the clear problems of service. The worst insult comes in way of food that look like it was prepared in the microwave and thrown together — crab cakes are not supposed to look like lumps or broken pieces, the steamed broccoli is not supposed to smell of steamed carrots. There are so many problems at so many levels at this location. I wonder if anyone from Ruby Tuesday Corporate even checks up on this location. Maybe this one is the black sheep of the Ruby Tuesday family.
