Ruby Tuesday

Good but not outstanding
Stopped on our way to Pennsylvania for dinner last Friday. Typical Ruby Tuesday with an expansive salad bar and a broad menu.
We were promptly seated and orders taken. My wife was smart and stuck with the Salad Bar. I ordered the 12 piece Shrimp dinner with fries and was very underwhelmed.
The Shrimp were butterflied and cooked to the point where they had no taste. The Cocktail Sauce (I was given a choice between it and Tartar) was very bland and had virtually no taste and gave little contrast to the shrimp
Obviously geared to the pass through traveler who will be unlikely to stop by again. Unfortunatley this is about my 4 or 5 time through here and each time, I get fewer and fewer reasons to stop agan.

The food was great. My burger came out hot and fresh. The salad bar was full and continued to be restocked as needed. The service was friendly and efficient. We were very pleased with how everything was treated at this location

Came here after leaving Waffle House when the hostess there told us there was a 10 minute wait to be seated in the empty restaurant. Service was only slightly better at Ruby Tuesday’s. This restaurant is doing nothing to uphold the franchise name. It took over half an hour for a burger and grilled chicken to come out, and the staff was just altogether weird! Our server had no concept of personal space and got about two inches from my face each time she came to the table. At one point, the hostess climbed up on the counter behind the bar and stood on the counter with her shoes on, but nobody ever wiped the counter down afterwards. Not the level of cleanliness I want to see in a restaurant!

Giving it four stars because of the food. Excellent, well cooked, fresh food. I have eaten here a few times but I’m reviewing based on my most recent experience which was earlier this month. The atmosphere is the restaurant is okay, I just really hate how most restaurants keep it so DARK in them. It isn’t just Ruby Tuesday, its most restaurants you go to. Do they do this so you can’t see the dirt or is this supposed to create some kind of atmosphere? I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t like eating in the dark and it was incredibly dark in there. Anyway… the food: My boyfriend and I both ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Bleu Cheese substituted for the Swiss Cheese. I added avocado to mine as well. Those sandwiches were HUGE and extremely good, although I will probably get Swiss on it next time I order it. Their fries were average (not soggy or overcooked). We also ordered the salad bar. The salad bar was clean and well stocked with everything and the ingredients were fresh. Overall, it was very good. Now on to the waiter… he was very nice and attentive for the most part. However, at the end of the visit when I handed him the money to pay for the food he said, «Did you want change?» I find that to be an incredibly awkward situation to be put in. I was leaving him the rest of it (about $ 7) for a tip, but he should have just gave me the change and let me decide to leave it or hand it to him. Asking if I WANTED change was so awkward for me. But I did kind of feel sorry for him because a party of about 6 elderly people can in for some celebration (there were balloons on their table) and the first thing they said to him was a reference to chitterlings. I found this horrible but I guess it is typical of a lot of the older generation. Overall, good, fresh food but turn the lights on and tell the waiters/​waitresses not to ask awkward questions like that.

Saw a Ruby Tuesday while driving to vacation and we’ve always liked the one near us. This one is not up to par. The service was good and quick but other than that it was no good. They forgot to include the complimentary biscuits. The floor was sticky and the plates at the salad bar were dirty, as was the restroom. They were blasting bad 80’s music the whole time. I had broccoli cheese soup which was nice in a rainy day, but the broccoli was chewy and crunchy. The blue cheese dip for my mom’s sandwich tasted bad. The ranch dressing also had an odd taste. Overall it was a poor experience. At least our waiter was nice.

The service was really really slow. I also was bummed that despite being able to TOUCH the bar from my table, I was not able to have a drink special since I wasn’t in a bar seat. Oh well — I was willing to overlook that. Eventually the food came, not good. My Caribbean chicken was just some plainly cooked chicken with a REALLY spicy «salsa» on it. The salsa was not freshly made so all the diced pieces didn’t taste good and were «limp.» It also came with coconut shrimp which were deep fried to hell — not good at all. My kids’ food was okay, but they didn’t mention that the side was extra so wasn’t expecting that extra up-​charge. It also was a bit confusing — my dinner came with two free sides (note: the spaghetti squash is terrible), but the kids’ came with zero sides so their side of grapes got added to my bill. Kids’ meal also did not come with an included drink. When I tried to talk to my server about some of our issues, he wouldn’t talk to me. Refused to listen and said I could talk to his manager if I wanted to. Will Not be back.

Food was decent but not worth the horrendous service. Waited at least 20 minutes to be waited on initially. Took at least another 30 minutes to get food. My husband had to ask wait staff not to curse around our young children. Had to get a manager to bring our check because we couldn’t find our waitress. Ridiculous.

He said: Ruby Tuesday isn’t usually my thing, but we ended up here. It was fine. i bumped it down to 3 stars. Service a tad slow. Food fine.
She said: I’ve eaten here several times. The food is usually good, and consistent with the quality of other Ruby Tuesday restaurants. I’ll be back!

I got sick from the food at this restaurant. After contacting the manager, I received an automatic response from head quarters, but I have not received any response from the restaurant, even after two additional requests. Service was slow, food at the salad bar picked over or partial empty. The bean soup had cold chicken inside. I would not go back there again.

The first thing I did when we walked in was ask if Candy was working cause the last reviewer said she hated life, so I kinda wanted to sit in her section to see if she was just having a bad day then. The sweet hostess asked if I was «kin» — I being a Yankee thought she said Kim but whatever. She told me she no longer worked here so we had Dee instead who was perfectly nice.
We didn’t order anything complicated but It took at least 20 min for our food to arrive.
Granted, it was a very late lunch so the staff might have been changing over but the 3 – 4 tables surrounding us sat dirty throughout our meal.
Food wasn’t bad but I wonder why if you order a side salad with your meal you automatically get ranch. If you ask me, ranch defeats the purpose of a salad.
Well look around– you’re in the outback – of west Virginia.
I’ve definitely been to better Ruby Tuesdays but there’s not much else around…
