Ruby Tuesday

Ordered the salmon. When it arrived there was already a slight odor to the salmon. When I took a bite the disgusting metallic taste of rot filled my mouth. They comped out dessert but that still should not happen.

Strong drinks, fast service. High prices for just basic American food options. The salad bar is a nice perk (the reason this review gets 3 instead of 2 stars), but its worth the wait to go to Cheesecake Factory for the same things you could get at Ruby Tuesdays but a far better quality. The place was dead on a Saturday night and I got why. Just so many better options around.

Alright. Salty. Nothing too exciting. Liked the spring rolls.
2. Shrimp and grits
Sauce too salty, otherwise everything else was good
3. Chicken Bella
Too salty
4.apple crumble flat bread best thing we had. Texture heaven, nice vanilla ice cream.
5. White chocolate cheese cake.
Does not taste like cheese cake. The texture is off on the cheese cake. It was gummy and sticky rather then smooth and don’t have much flavor. Sauce is good.
Service was great. Server did mess up my order though.
Host should not wear jeans and flannel shirt. At least have a name tag on. He was nice though. Please don’t fire him.

To be honest, not my favorite place to go. There are lots of better local restaurants around the area and this is simply another chain restaurant with american food. It’s not terrible but there is really nothing interesting and most of the food I could by at costco. I am not a fan and would not take someone to this restaurant.

I ate here a couple days ago and I’m STILL thinkin about that steak!
I was shopping at southdale, dragging my boyfriend around with me, when finally he complained that he couldn’t take it anymore. So we decided to eat and this place was conveniently located right there.
I got the petite steak with mashed potatoes and the salad bar. First off lemme say that salad bar had me like daymmmm! So fresh, so delish. The blue cheese dressing with off the hook. My boyfriend also liked whatever weird healthy dressing he got.
Then our food arrived, real quick, and it was SO GOOD. My steak was seasoned and cooked exactly how I like it. And those mashed potatoes were like heaven I was like oh my gawd yasssss. My boyfriend got some black fire or something steak and he said it was the perfect amount of spicy. Neither piece had an ounce of fat it was amazing. He also got onion rings which were crispy and bomb.
The service was friendly and great and my strawberry lemonade was refreshing as hell. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would go again. I can’t even believe it was real. I was just at the mall and then I was having the best meal of my life. #blessed can’t wait to go again good god

I love this place. Super friendly staff, good food, and decent prices. Bring back the zucchini minis and we’ll be best friends!

Just don’t. For the same cost, there are much better places within a few blocks. The food was cheap and far from fresh.
I had some sort of popcorn shrimp thing. I actually hope it was microwaved. Otherwise, I can’t account for how sad it was. Way more breading than shrimp. Which was good only because the shrimp was so tiny and grey. Sorry. It just wasn’t good.
The toppings at the salad bar were fairly fresh.
I discovered, in the bathroom, that you really can tell the scent of stale urine from fresh. I used my stash of hand sanitizer, rather than touch anything else.

This is the RT I usually go to with my best friend (we are super fans when it comes to RT). We like that they have healthier options and that they still taste good! I LOVE that the salad bar is now a side option for some entrees! However, I wish it would be a side option for burgers! The atmosphere is great, and the food is very tasty!

Received a, «Free Burger» coupon for my birthday. I was with my girls shopping an we decided to get a snack.
My girls, aged 3 and 4, each chose a kids menu, one had the mac and cheese, the other had the mini cheese burgers. Drinks are extra. I had Pretzel burger with blue cheese and bacon and Iced tea.
Our server was really nice and checked in with us often.
Kids meals with drinks were about $ 6.00 each and my free burger only covered $ 9.00 so I had a bit of an upcharge. Al the food tasted fine, but for the price (even with my free burger), I can think of a dozen better alternatives for a burger.

It’s close to where I live, the staff is friendly, the food is always very good. Don’t have any down sides to the service or presentation of the food.

Let me preface this by saying Ruby Tuesday is one of my favorite restaurants. I love that the Garden Bar is now a side to the entrees, and that (especially since I am watching carefully what I eat) that nutrition is disclosed on the Web site.
Tonight, 5 of us went to dinner at the Southdale (Edina), MN location. Amanda was our waitress. Although she was not unpleasant, she was absolutely inept. She did not offer biscuits to those ordering entrees. When we went to the salad bar, there were many empty items — spinach, tomatoes, black olives, and the like.
She did not keep drinks refilled — we had to ask two and even three times to have them refilled while hot food waited on the table. In addition, ketchup was not served with the fries, and the baked potatoes came either with butter and sour cream on the potato rather than on the side, or no butter and sour cream was served at all. It took until 34 way through our meal before we received either the ketchup or the butter.
When the checks came, they were both incorrectly punched (incorrect items were on the check) and they were divided incorrectly. It took her three times over a period of more than 30 minutes to correct these. In the interim, I asked for a manager. It took him 15 minutes to come to the table. The manager, a shaven headed man with tattoos, was defensive of his server and rude to us. He then said accusingly «Well, I remember you from last time», when we were redeeming coupons from a previous visit in which the service at Southdale was likewise poor.
Although he ultimately comped the meal, this improper interaction it virtually ruined the evening for me and my friends. I own a business, and if he were on my staff, he would be severely reprimanded if he even would remain my employee.
I will remain a Ruby Tuesday customer, but you can be assured that I will never, ever, ever go to the Southdale location again!

Hope you don’t get Antwan!

I’ve been going to this Ruby Tuesday at Southdale for a long time. I’ve always thought of this as a better chain restaurant. They recently went through a menu make-​over for the better.
I generally get either a burger or a «fast-​fresh combination» because of the unlimited salad bar. The salad bar is 4 out of 5 times fresh looking and great. Occasionally depending on the time of the day it isn’t looking too hot. Pricing is pretty good if you go with the salad bar route. Considering most people average 2 heaping plates PLUS whatever else you ordered it’s a good deal.
As for drinks I wouldn’t recommend them. $ 5 isn’t really a deal, especially as they are $ 5 every day all day there. More of a marketing gimmick.
I have only really had a couple bad experiences. Both with the same waiter who was absolutely terrible. He told us he has had everything on the menu and that everything is good. He also proceeded to give us our menus and then stand next to our table for 5 minutes. Would check back every 2 – 3 minutes. Extremely unprofessional and annoying. I haven’t seen him the past few times i’ve gone. I’m hoping he has been let go.

This place smells bad. They don’t actually have cocktail straws and 5 $ for an absolut drink as a special? People wonder why I don’t want to leave minneapolis

One of the best things about chain restaurants is, you can get the same thing at every one of them. Ruby Tuesdays makes their own lemonade and it kicks ass when mixed with Seagrams 7.
OK, so first I tried a Sam Adam’s BL on draught, a beer you shouldn’t be able to go wrong with; but they haven’t cleaned their beer lines in so long it tasted worse than a tap beer at Bullwinkle’s before they shit the bed. Someone needs to get the memo about craft beer =- Craft beer drinkers know that the freshest best beer is served on tap because kegs are always kept cold and there is no risk of light pollution, if you don’t clean your gawddamn beer lines you’ve defeated purpose of having craft beer on -=
Anyway, the bartender replaced mine (Seagrams 7 and lemonade) without a fuss and I had 3 before the movie started, my no-​neck, chickenshit friend refused to say something so he had to pay for that crap.
They run a good appetizer happy hour (chicken fingers, spring rolls and wings for us), all was decent, so we had a good layer for the movie theatre popcorn and Coke.

Ughhhhhhhhhaaaaarrrrwwww.
Chain
Mini sliders were borderline burnt.
Bloodys were poorly made.
Fries were salty.
saving grace: they Doublefry their fries.

So you won’t usually find me in a chain restaurant, at least not if I’m picking the place. But it’s not always all about me (shocker!), and if we must eat at a chain, Ruby Tuesday’s is a pretty decent pick.
I’ve never been disappointed with any of their food selections, except maybe the veggies, which tend to be a tad overcooked. And I love that salad bar! The pumpernickel croutons are what get me every time. Usually I get a chicken quesadilla along with the salad bar, which is a great value, but this time I went for the avocado chicken sandwich. It was fairly good, but messy. I’ll go back to the quesadilla next time. Oh, also! That shrimp fondue is worth a try. We got it for free because our server didn’t mention it (I do hope she didn’t get in trouble), and it was delicious, though I could feel my arteries clogging as I was eating it.
I also love their drinks, but I was kind of bummed to see that they jacked up the price on my favorite beverage, the Ruby Relaxer. I’m going to have to imbibe with a bit more restraint in the future. Sad day.
We usually have pretty good service at this location, but this time it was stellar. We were waited on by a young lady named Chelsea, who said it was her first day serving; we never would have known! She was very professional and checked up on us frequently. We’ll be sure to ask for her in the future.

Totally a fan of the bar/​appetizers side of this place — My reasoning I will keep short. Much like Friday’s and Chili’s, they have an extensive list of apps that are full of flavor, not too healthy, and compliment a decent beer/​mixed drink selection well. In addition, while neither the guac or the spinach dip are terrible fantastic, they do offer you bottomless chips to accompany them, which to me is just one of those little things that makes a not perfect dip get a genuine leg up.
I have eaten dinner here before, and while the menu itself is extensive, I’m not a huge fan of the food for the price point. It’s just A-​OK I suppose…
A not to the web editor… You guys use the word fresh way too many times on both your menu and your website… Yes, fresh is good, but honestly, when I see fresh chicken … I expect to hear clucking…

Don’t come here on a Sunday evening. We walked in at 610. Saw five open tables. The manager and the host both told us the kitchen was overwhelmed and that they were expecting a large party, so they’d have to wait to seat us, and it would take 15 minutes.
I’m not usually one to care about a 15 minute wait, but waiting when there are many open tables is silly.
Pair that with the usually rude wait staff at this location, a dismissive manager and host that seemed uninterested at best, and a usually messy salad bar results in us opting not to wait, going elsewhere, and having a lovely dining experience.
Not the first time I’ve been here — in fact, we have hit this location up at least twice monthly when going to the movies in Southdale. But this was definitely the last.
Oh, and we were going to only do the salad bar, which would have not put the «overwhelmed» kitchen out at all.
Good bye, Ruby Tuesday.

Friendly, quick, and attentive staff!
Food is quite good for a family, sit-​down restaurant with everything and the kitchen sink on the menu. It’s much better than TGI Fridays or Chilie’s. Ruby’s grills FRESH veggies with clarified butter, yay! I’m not a fan of the salad bar though, and I think it’s because, for almost the same price, Q Cumbers’s salad bar, just down the road, is much better.
I think my only jab would be the price. All the entrees are about 3 dollars more than what I think they should be, and I think that has to do with the overhead of stocking the salad bar every day and the extensive list of ingredients they have. 3 dollars isn’t much to a single person, but 12 dollars with tip and extra tax across 4 people becomes really noticeable.
One more thing, their drinks are small and weak, sigh…
