Quick service. Homemade dishes with lots of flavor. Deserts seem popular with a walk up window to order shakes and malts

Long Standing Diner at the end of the Pier serving greasy fried food and burgers. The food is greasy and not that great for the price. We got two burgers and two cokes and paid $54 with tax and tip. That's way too much for greasy burger and fries at a diner. The view is the attraction, yet you really can't see much with the wood bars surrounding the edge of the pier and all the people either standing or walking in front of you. The pigeons are unreal as well. Very unpleasant. Service is friendly but hard to get anyone's attention when you need something. It was ok, certainly not worth $55. In addition, parking is paid. No restrooms either--you have to go to the beginning of the Pier, other end from this diner, not good. Oh well. It's a tourist trap for sure.

Finally got to sit down and eat at this classic location right above the water. Ordered the Classic cheese burger that came with a side of fries for $14.99. Can't beat that deal especially if you're around this part of Balboa. All the restaurants are on shore so you won't get the best seats, but you can't go wrong with a hot sandwich with the cool breeze hitting your face. Watch out for the birds; they are bold enough to bother you while you're eating, waiting at a chance for those fries to slip on to the floor.

Hi went to Ruby’s Diner on Balboa Pier today for lunch, ordered an iced water, Diet Coke , Ruby cheeseburger with fries, & a coffee shake for dessert. Everything was delicious & my service was great too, great beach atmosphere too in Newport Beach, my favorite Ruby’s location & the original one too.

Only reason it loses a star is that for the quality of food you get (which is fine but nothing amazing) it’s a bit pricey - but with that said, this place is really cool. The location and overall vibe are totally worth checking out - just don’t expect low prices and don’t expect the food to knock your socks off. It’s more about the location and atmosphere - which is worth it.

Great diner food. Friendly staff. Unbeatable location. What more could you want? Highly recommended
Your typical Ruby’s with that classic diner vibe. The food was great, as well as the service. We got a guacamole burger, Rubyclub, BLTA, hickory burger, and a vanilla and strawberry shake. The food was hot and crispy and the shakes were nice and cold. Service was also great. Just be sure to use the restroom before you get to the restaurant, as there isn’t one on the pier, not even a sink. Can’t wait to come back soon!

We had lunch at Ruby's a few weeks ago while visiting family. Martin was our server, and we really appreciated him as he went out of his way to accomodate a family member with specific dietary needs. Lunch was delicious & we really enjoyed the diner vibe, as well as the lovely location on the pier!
