Ruby Tuesday

This place is better than a lot of the reviews I’m reading here. I use it a lot for quick casual meals and always have had good value for my money. No complaints at all.

Who doesn’t love ruby Tuesday’s?! Of course I got the salad bar. On a slow day however, I would say the salad needs to be changed out. The staff was friendly, came by quite often to see if things were ok. Considering it’s lunch, not a bad place to eat. I’ll have to come back during dinner when the rush is in.

Ruby Tuesday has always been iffy with me overprice food for okay taste. Went here the other night after not being for awhile. Our waiter was great and attentive to our needs. Got the usual biscuits that are endless and they were kinda salty but still the bomb. Got cheesy fries as a app and let me tell you those fries were so good. They did something new to their cheese fries before it was just sprinkled cheese and bacon bits now they upgraded and added queso to it. Had a kick to it and a very peppery taste but still really good. I got the Cajun jambalaya pasta which I was got before so I was really looking forward to it. I got my plate and it didn’t look appetizing it also had a weird funk to it. I wasn’t sure if it could have been the heavy cream or if they precooked the veggies and it had a weird taste. I still had a whole bunch left and took the rest home. My friend got the chicken BLT and loved it. This place isn’t bad but not of my go too places either.

Not a huge fan. it’s like a glorified Shoneys. The prices are a little high for the quality of the food. Service was good though.

We went when on vacation in Aug 2012 it was disgusting it was the only place we ate that made us sick to our stomach. Horrible, horrible the salad was sucked, I will not go back to any Ruby Tuesdays.

Good food, had a small incident, but management and staff went over and above to correct the issue and I left a happy customer.

Ehh not impressed i ordered a burger medium well and the thing was dry like road kill. Ton of better chains in Wilmington Stay away

Same old chain. Nothing new here.

We went there just because we wanted something different and we were pleasantly surprised. The food and service was really good. The server was very patient with our kids and that is always a plus.

Good burgers, full salad bar.

Typical crap chain restaurant with decent deserts and salad.

I’m being very generous with my stars. 3 ½. But, I have worked in food service before and I’m a firm believer that one hiccup does not a horrible restaurant make. But let me tell you about our first visit to the long awaited Monkey Junciton Ruby Tuesdays. I couldn’t tell you what I got. Something good I’m sure. Ribs maybe? That’s not important. But the husband ordered some sort of chicken. Which at Ruby Tuesdays means a breast with some sort of white sauce poured over it. I don’t know why he makes these bad food decisions. He never likes what he gets, you would think he would switch it up. Anyway, he gets about halfway through the chicken and he comments that it seems a little bloated. Which is a funny thing to say about chicken. We both inspect it and it is approximately ¹⁄₃ of the way cooked. It was all pink and smooshy and icky. How in the heck did he eat all of that? Here comes the Perky Waitress. Being the Polite, Southern Gentleman that he is, this is how the convo goes:
PSG: Excuse me ma’am, I’m sorry and I don’t mean to complain (but you are), but my chicken doesn’t seem to be done.
PW: Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry.
PSG: Oh, it’s ok. I just wanted to let you know.
PW: Ok, I’ll let the manager know.
That was it. No free dessert. No manager visit to the table. No more mention of the puffy chicken by the waitress. Seriously. And he didn’t get sick, but he conned himself into thinking he was sick the rest of the night. Kinda funny. Boys are whimps.
Anyway, so every time we’ve been back it’s been fine. I love the salad bar. So fresh. And they have THE best chewy croutons. I could eat them by themselves. A good stand-​by for those nights like last night where we’re both dead tired and super hungry and don’t want to have to think about what we’re eating… just don’t order the chicken. Or at least inspect what you’re eating for goodness sakes.
UPDATE: For some reason we ate here again for lunch. We had THE absolute worst service. What is it with these people? I’m docking them another star. The fresh, cheap salad bar can’t make up for the slowness that was our waitress today. At one point, she was twirling with her friends at the bar. Twirling. While we had empty drinks.
