“My favorite soul food restaurant!!!“

“Ruby Tuesday is having a rough time of it - but they are trying hard to be relevant. The stores are all beaten up and on their last legs - but the staff and food are really good. And you CANNOT beat the deals. $8.99 for a smash burger, tots or fries AND the full salad bar (Thursdays, $9.99 on Mondays, make it a double for a buck or two more....). LOVE an old school salad bar and they have all but disappeared - but RT is still putting out a decent one. Two of us were out the door with tax and about a 25% tip for.....$25.00 total! AND my companion took the burger and tots home and just ate the salad bar. WHERE ELSE can you get a deal anywhere near that these days??“

“My husband I dined here after a show at Springer. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I enjoyed the decor, especially the little lights on the tables. My husband ordered a steak, and I chose the crab cakes. My husband’s steak was cooked to perfection, and both meals tasted very fresh and delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. We plan to visit again, and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want quality food and exceptional service.“

It wasn't too busy, however slow service.
Brought my hash browns and bacon out before my pancakes I had to wait on longer, while my company received their entire meal before me
Which makes it awkward for him to go ahead and eat, as he was waiting for my food to arrive as well.“
