Ruby Tuesday

What can I say…
An uninspiring menu. A salad bar that isn’t half as good as the farm fresh two blocks away…
Our waitress Jessica (bless her heart) tried to make it a pleasant experience, but it just was not meant to be.
My broccoli and cheddar soup was salty. And it was not served hot.
The salad bar was disappointing.
The last time I have been to this Ruby was in 2010 even though I live 3 minutes away and eat out frequently. Now I remember why. I guess I’ll try it again in 2020. And hope for the best!

Decent food, but extremely expensive. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The chicken was lukewarm and the vegetables were warm. I suspected there to be a major temperature contrast between the chicken and the vegetables, but the difference was minor. I have to say I will never return. I am extremely disappointed. The price was $ 9.59 just for my sandwich. The iced tea I originally ordered was so terrible that I couldn’t even finish it. I asked to get water, not even more tea.
When I asked my beloved grandmother how her food was, she said «It was fair. Nothing special. It will be a long time before I return.»
My father said «The salad bar was subpar. If you want a salad, just go to farm fresh. There is more than twice the amount of choices. The broccoli and cheese soup was salty.»
No more returning for me!

Not my first visit. Just my first review. Wife and I stopped in for lunch after the lunch crowd. Seated promptly at a booth as requested. Server was amazing. Knew the menu, was very courteous, friendly and not overly attentive (bothersome). I never order appetizers Because if u get a salad as one of your sides, you have free reign to the oh so fresh build your own salad bar. I ordered a new item, The Double Decker Chicken breast. Two perfectly cooked juicy juicy grilled breasts topped with crispy bacon, a creamy sauce and sautéed mushrooms. Wife had the Shrimp Trio. Had to be nearly a pound of shrimp. 3 flavors /​cooks, Fried, Asian, and grilled on a skewer. Wife says all were perfectly cooked. Yeah it’s a chain, but I’m a fan. Been one for over 6 years.

From the hostess to the server to the manager? who came around making sure everyone was properly taken care of, everyone was professional and very pleasant. The appetizer and entrée were served in a timely manner. The dry rub ribs were perfectly cooked (slightly bland), and the pasta with broccoli was tasty. The french fries seemed as if they purchased them from the Great Value section of Walmart. I will definitely be returning – I just won’t be ordering fries.

Been off Unilocal over the summer but I am back. First visit out was not a good one. The Ruby Tuesday was not good.
Ordered a vodka dirty martini and the server had no clue of what to put in it. Drink was made with get this, TEQUILA! Server and manager argued that it was made with vodka like I ask but it sure did not taste like it. I told server I knew it was tequila because it was burning my lips. Instead she offered me some ice to cool it down instead of making me a new drink. Sadly I was charged for it as well.
On the positive side the salad bar looked good and the staff was nice but they made no attempt to make sure I was fully satisfied. When I denied to have dessert after my meal the server immediately bought my check. I felt rushed to leave when my plan was to stay and watch Thursday not football. I left.
Very sad experience.

We got sat right away, the hostess was prompt and very nice.
I got the petite sirloin with lobster tail. I was on the fence about ordering seafood from Ruby Tuesdays, but the lobster tail was of good size and tasted delicious. The steak had good flavor and done perfectly to order.
My honey got his prime rib, the steak was pretty thin but done to order.
The salad bar was very fresh with the usual fixings, nothing too groundbreaking.
We would come back.

Best turkey burger ever
My husband and I dropped in to Ruby Tuesday the other day for a quick dinner. We noticed that the place was half empty but we also noticed that the salad bar looked to be recently stocked. We both ordered the turkey burger with avocado and the salad bar. I got a diet coke (which I never drink). But I don’t drink tap water. We enjoyed our salad bar selections –and there were plenty. You could make a meal off of the salad bar alone. Our waiter was attentive and waited to bring our burgers until we had finished our burgers as requested. When the burgers arrived they were a sight to behold. They looked like an advertisement on t. V. The lettuce, tomato and avocado were fresh looking. The buns held their own. The burger was so thick that we both had to cut it in half to get our mouthes around it. We ordered a baked potato as our side and it was baked just right and was very tasty. We were too full to order dessert but I’m coming back for that chocolate cake. The meal was delicious. The service was excellent. Our waiter was a male and I’m sorry I forgot his name.

Patron 1: Can I have a half rack of ribs?
Waitress: What two sides?
Patron 1: Do you have the baked potato?
Waitress: No.
Patron 2: There’s no baked potato?
Waitress: We’re actually out of baked potatoes for the next hour.
Patron 2: It takes one hour to bake a potato?
Patron 1: I’ll just have a soup and salad.
Crappy waitress and poor food staff.

My husband and I ate here while waiting to see our movie. The staff was very nice and pleasant, however our waitress was not the most attentive. It appeared that she was behind the bar also. I ordered a flatbread and my husband ordered the spicy Jalapeño pretzel burger. My flatbread was amazing, but my husband was not so impressed with his burger. He said that it wasn’t very spicy at all. The location itself was very clean and the salad bar appeared to be fresh (we didn’t have time to check it out). Overall I wouldn’t mind coming back here.

Good food and service, but not a good layout for larger groups.

My husband and I decided to have a late dinner here after a long day of moving. When we entered around 10:30, 3 employees were standing by the door having a conversation. After about 30 seconds they looked up, clearly annoyed and one went to seat us. We asked if we could have a booth and though the hostess pointed us in the direction of the booths she was extremely rude about it. Eventually the waitress came and to take our food and drink orders which were both slightly wrong. I ordered the petite steak and my husband had the jalepeno burger. When my steak came I made the comment «is this safe to eat?». It clearly had just come out of the microwave. Half was firm and I could push my finger through the other half that looked like mush. My husband’s burger had green slices of what we assumed go be jalepenos but with no taste. When I asked how his meal was he said «edible». I have had other bad experiences here and never go, but with it being late and one of our only options we gave it another try. Wrong. Never again. This location is the worst.

This is the first time I have visited this location but it’s one of three that are close to my business so it was a pretty random choice. I decided that I wanted to sit down during lunch and had a Free Burger coupon so what the heck!
The Turkey burger is a menu item I have had several times at other locations so I pretty much knew what was coming. This item was made much better some time ago when they switched out the nasty whole wheat roll for the Kaiser type roll. Anyway, back to this visit.
Right away I was impressed with how clean and organized this location seemed. It’s not that any of the Ruby Tuesday locations are nasty but this one just seemed cleaner. I was greeted and seated pretty quickly and the server was at my table in only a few seconds. I ordered a Sweet tea and headed to the mens room to wash up. That was very clean as well.
All I had was the Turkey Burger with fries so cannot comment on the salad bar although it looked very nice. The burger arrived hot off the grill and was the best one I have had at any location. I was amazed at how a standard menu item could be so much better at one location over the others. The fries were also hot and piled high. There were probably 30% more on the plate than I get at the Harbor view location.
It does not take long to eat a burger and fries but my server came by at least 4 times to see how I liked the food. I was very pleased with the service and food so my tip and comments on leaving to the manger were very positive. The server even gave me a «to go» cup of sweet tea for my last refill.
I will be back to this location for lunch when I can.

Solid place to get a good meal. Service is a little slow but the food is good.

This Ruby Tuesday is right off of Hampton Roads Center Parkway in Hampton.
The salad bar is pretty awesome. One of the best salad bars outside of the awesomeness that is the Harris Teeter salad bar. Ruby Tuesday does them one better though with the dark rye bread croutons.
On this visit I ordered the burger minis with the salad bar. Not very crowded for 11:30AM so I was pleased. Service was good and food was good — we sat, we ordered and were out of the restaurant in about 45 minutes, maybe less. A pretty good experience if I say so myself.

The salad bar is always great! Good atmosphere and never too busy.

If you want a really good and fresh salad bar, this is the place to go. I am such a fan of the salad bar. The menu is not that impressive and very expensive.

Hostess was horrible, noticed she was seating by ethnic background and not by arrival. Will not return to RT

I go here regularly for lunch. I am a huge fan of their salad bar. The selection of fresh healthy selections is fantastic. While you can get the bar only for $ 7.99 right now, add a dollar or two and ALSO get two «minis» of which there are probably 10 different kinds to pick from AND Endless Fries!!! I usually get the veggie minis, which are fresh rice & bean cakes with lettuce & tomato. Great place for vegetarians!
This is a deal. Everything else I get here is good too. It’s clean. Everyone is friendly. The prices are fair. Usually, I am not a fan of the American chain restaurants, but this is my exception because of the uniqueness of their salad bar. OH! AND, they have regular happy hour drink specials, like $ 5 cocktails every night I think. It’s my go-​to place when I can’t decide, or don’t want to feel guilty about what I eat!
