Ruby Tuesday

We were on a road trip and decided to stop in Roanoke Rapids for the night. We were willing to try a local restaurant but couldn’t find one with rave reviews. We haven’t eaten at Ruby Tuesdays in years so we gave a try. Herb-​crusted tilapia and half-​rack baby back ribs (both with sides) were delicious! Excellent meals for $ 30 total! And our server Kevin was top-​notch. How can you beat that?

Came in late on a Sunday night with very few patrons in the restaurant. Server took very long to come to our table and very slow bringing our drinks. Food did come out quickly, however was close to inedible. My order was their classic ribs described as falling off the bone, however a piece of cardboard would have more tender and more edible. There are many choices in the immediate area… DO NOT GO HERE!

Every time I go the fish is over cooked. This has been about four trips now. I know, why keep going back but when her for an extended period of time… options are limited.

When you walk into restaurant you notice the 97A from NC health dept.
Took 10 mins to get greeted and seated when they were empty at 6:30 on a Sunday night.
Got seated and our waitress seemed like she had better things to do. Seemed to be annoyed.
We received our drinks in a timely fashion however one guest ordered half tea/​lemonade, it tasted like pure water. She then asked for a water and looks like waitress dumped out her glass and put water in it as you could still see brown from the tea.
We ordered our food and came out fresh n hot. Thank goodness, however my son’s shrimp was under cooked.
During the stay our waitress was never around.
Management and other staff were hanging around front door. There were items to tend to i.e. cleaning door glass as it looks like it hasn’t been done in days, bathrooms look like they haven’t been serviced in weeks. (No toilet paper in stalls) some stalls littered with tp and urine.
Take it for what you will, but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

No wait when we walked in at 7:15. We were seated quickly but waited about 45 mins before our food came out. Got our own silverware from the front desk and our drinks were very slow to be refilled. This chain is normally fine, but this location is definitely one of the worst. Can certainly see why their overall ranking is so low. Keep on moving from this location and try it somewhere else down the road! The craziest thing was two of the three kids got their meal about 15 mins prior to the rest of us …

I have a love-​hate relationship with this particular Ruby Tuesday’s. Some days I go in and get excellent service and sometimes not so much. But the food has never disappointed me.

Always a nice place to stop at anywhere. I would have given it a 5 Star rating but the salad bar has basic choices and not enough to make a real nice salad.

I walked in around 12:00 noon today and the place was completely deserted, and now I know why. I waited around by the hostess stand for 5 minutes while several employees walked by but completely ingnored me. There were a few cars in the parking lot apparently waiting for pick up. After a few minutes of this senseless exercise I left. They don’t seem to care about any business here.

It was Christmas Eve and it felt like a sauna inside! It was maybe 85 – 90 degrees inside.
The service wasn’t that great but the food was surprisingly good. I ordered the petite sirloin with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Normally, I don’t like chains and their food can sometimes be gross, but I did like the food here.
I took one star off because our server seemed stoned. I took another star off because it was like a sauna inside.

Dirty bathrooms. Waited ten minutes and no one came to take our drink order. Hostess had no personality acted like she was really put out to have to seat us. We waited for awhile finally gave up and left. Will never go there again

I’ll give it a 2 because of the pleasant staff, but I don’t know if I’d go back. I realize I’m from the Northeast and the slow pace of North Carolina may be lost on me, but this was too slow. The kids begged to go since we had awesome experiences at Ruby Tuesday in GA and FL on our trip to/​from FL. My wife’s comment, «I feel like we’re in a completely different chain restaurant» said it all.
Fried food was obviously from old oil, the floor was sticky when you walked on it… thankfully, we survived! We should have known when the Cracker Barrel parking lot was packed and this one was empty.

Have stopped here twice while traveling. Service poor first time. Today they sat 3 large groups after us and went to them first. We left. Sad because we love the salad bar

It was late at night on a Friday when we decided to eat at Ruby Tuesdays. We got there at 11:30 pm. We had horribly slow service didn’t get our entrees until 12:25. They ran out of chips because they already cleaned the oven. And when we got the two Big Dipper samplers, they tasted and smelled horrible. When we talked to the manager about it she got visibly mad and ignored us for the rest of the night.

This place got horrible terrible service, it took 35 min after we got dotted to get our drinks, another 35 min to get our food and when we ask for AI sauce another 10 min and now we Oder dessert and we been waiting for 25min, the question is why we haven’t ask for a manger, we’ll the waiter haven’t come back to ask how we doing or anything, why I’m giving this place a star, cause we are on a road trip and very hungry and the food was not bad. Overall don’t give this place business it’s HORRIBLE

Roanoke Rapids (at least what is presented within 2 miles of the highway) sucks. It smells like a swamp. Everything to eat is either a chain or a buffet. Pull up bars on Unilocal and your first two choices are Applebee’s and Ruby Tuesdays. I drove around looking for any other option, but nothing else was to be found. So I settled. RT was perfectly adequate, friendly, and reasonably priced. Sometimes that is all you can ask.

Slow service and an inattentive staff. The food was fairly decent, I ordered the Cajun steak cooked at a medium temperature, but the drinks are really good.

With limited options for sit down restaurants to eat in Roanoke rapids, my bf and I decided to eat here.
We were seated promptly and the sever took care of us. Service with her was a ⁴⁄₅. She was very attentive, gracious and polite.
In regards to the food it was okay. Ordered the chicken baja taco and it was surprisingly tasty. This meal was one of the dishes that included the soup or salad bar. Salad bar was alright, it definitely needed some cleaning up.
Overall, this place is alright. An okay place to stop by if you’re passing by on I-​95 or staying here. Place is a little dirty and has that weird smell of cleaning products.

Me and my family stopped over in NC on our way to NY. Ordered Ruby Tuesday for pick up and found out once we got there that they forgot to put in our order. While we waited, the bartender and managers apologized to us constantly and offered us free desserts and drinks. Then when our order finally came out they gave it to us for free! Five burgers and two side salads for free and the wait wasn’t even that long.
Great customer service and the food was good too! Will stop by again if we’re ever in the area.

Staff was good but I won’t recommend the queso, the fried shrimp or the Long Island iced tea as they were all less than desirable.
The queso was really salty the shrimp were heavily breaded and cooked too long and the Long Island iced tea was all out of balance. We stopped here on our way to Charlestown and found this place in a sea of mediocrity. If you are hungry you should probably keep on driving.

Lunchtime visit. Seated promptly my the hostess.
The RT menu has changed, so that the Garden Fresh salad bar is now included on most entrees. Nice change!
I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Pasta with the Salad Bar. I’ve ordered this at other locations, and it had always been served on a rectangle plate. This location served it in a huge bowl, which has nothing to do with the taste, but was certainly not as visually appealing.
Have to go with 3 stars instead of 4 because of my server. She was plenty pleasant, but my beverage glass went empty and she blamed someone else for «not watching her section».
