29 dollars after tip for 2 beers, really unfriendly staff, and dirty dirty bathrooms.

I’ll give credit where credit is due in part to the service and the overall vibe of this place, it’s very chill, kind workers, old school boardwalk bar that really takes you back in time as u look around at their decor. With abundant seats, ceiling and oscillating fans this place was very comfortable to be in. However getting down the food, it was pretty bad. Super greasy for no reason, ordered chicken tenders, waffle fries, funnel cake and a veggie burger. Funnel cake was amazing not gonna lie. For the chicken tenders, I was not expecting enlarged Kid’s cuisine chicken breast strips dipped in the deep frier that left oil oozing with every bite, and left me to deal with severe nausea throughout the night. The waffle fries were also unnecessarily super greasy, not the worst thing from our order though.The veggie burger (tasted more like a nyc public school lunch burger) gave my boyfriend food poisoning for sure, he’s still dealing with plenty of abdominal pain and all the other unsavory symptoms that come with it. If you come here, go for the alcoholic beverages and funnel cake, that’s it. Even the blue raspberry Slush Puppies were garbage, tasted more like cough syrup with an absurd amount of sugar with no flavor payoff.

Probably the rudest bar tender I’ve ever experienced. After enquiring which drinks they had on draft, she said sharply “I don’t know what you mean by that”. We were at the end of the bar and not near the beer pumps so I just went and checked. I asked also for a vodka and Diet Coke. She gave me just a Diet Coke so I asked for a vodka separate to pour in which was a task in itself. The whole transaction was so odd I’ve never even had that much confusion in a country where English is not the first language, it was like we were speaking an alien language or something. Not a smile or any pleasantries from her at all. Not a good first impression of what is purely a place for tourists.

Idk how they’ve been around since 1934. There was a piece of plastic in my mom’s sandwich and my wife’s fish was not fully cooked. Food was mediocre at best.
Crab cake, fries and hot dog were very good. Probably one of the best eateries on the boardwalk...

It was my 1st time to Coney Island this summer and my husband and I wanted a distinctly Coney Island eating experience. As we don't eat hot dogs (and weren't about to wait in the long Nathan's lines anyway), we were attracted to Ruby's instead. Frozen margaritas? Check. A full bar in fact. Decent selection of food beyond pizza and hot dogs and nachos? Check. I got a crab cake sandwich and my husband got a turkey burger. I also decided to get cheese fries because that was my Nathan's order in middle school when I would go to the one in my mall's food court. They were nice and crispy. FYI cheese fries are not on the menu but you can ask to add cheese on your fries for like $1. They use nacho cheese. Good prices? Check. My bill was less than $30 and that's a win to me in a touristy place. Nice bartenders? Check. They were friendly and attentive. My only qualm with Ruby's was the actual ordering experience. It was a little messy. People were just gathering near the counter and not really forming a line so it was hard to tell who was next. And the cashiers seemed a little overwhelmed, and weren't doing much to help the situation. These poor french tourists ahead of me were looking particularly perturbed because they weren't being helped, but I guess it's just one of those places where you've gotta be assertive. It was a nice time for us though! Would definitely hang there again.

DO NOT GO HERE The food was okay, but i got kicked out while eating there because of “Rubys rules” whatever that means…. I had just gotten my food and the chef literally came from behind the grill and said no outside food as if I wasn’t just at the register.

The food hit the spot, but what really gives Ruby’s five stars is the service! We came on a Saturday afternoon, it’s busy, but a staff member (maybe the manager or owner) helped our group of 7 people find two tables we could put together, after we said no, it’s okay we will just stand. He went above and beyond!!
Their open!!!
