Stepping into Ruthie's Diner feels like coming home. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with a warmth that's becoming increasingly rare, and it's clear that exceptional service is a top priority here. But let's talk about the food – because that's where Ruthie's truly shines! Whether you're in the mood for a classic diner breakfast that hits all the right notes, a hearty lunch, or a comforting dinner, Ruthie's delivers. You can tell that everything is made with care, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming.
The staff at Ruthie's deserves a special shout-out. They are attentive, friendly, and genuinely seem to enjoy their work. My server made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. It's clear they work as a well-oiled machine, ensuring that every table is taken care of efficiently and with a smile. If you're looking for genuinely good food served with a side of genuine hospitality, look no further than Ruthie's. It's a place you'll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!

It's a throwback place, a good old fashioned diner. Fair prices, big portions. You won't be disappointed

I love local restaurants.
But this visit was complete let down. There is 1. Charge for water 2. 2.00 charge for a extra plate if sharing 3. 75c charge for marinara even if you buy provolone sticks 4. 2.25 for a can of pop/soda 5 cash only be prepared
If you think of a charge they are going to charge for it.
The waitress was not very kind. The crowd was not busy so not sure why this was.
The food was good and the prices are good if you can get over the hidden charges they don’t tell you about
If you have a family this might not be the best stop but worth a shot

Thank you so very much for your kindness this past Saturday. You have no idea how much it meant.

Growing up as a kid this place was a special place my family would visit often when we were in the area. My family and I stopped for Mother's Day and to my surprise things weren't too great. The toast on my turkey club had been burnt, my wife got chicken strips and they we dryer than my hands in the winter months, my sister's food was alright but for my mom's sandwich they forgot to ask what bread she wanted so they gave her losey white.Overall they should pay more attention to their food and step up the quality like I remembered as a kid. (Yes I was just a picky then) and lastly they should invest in new plates. I could imagine that the current plates were original to the dinners opening date many years ago judging by all off the faded knife marks on the once egg shell colored plates now with a faded touch of gray from multiple years of knife marks which makes the surface appear dirty.

Our favorite place to eat and service is great, food is delicious and prices are reasonable. Love the old style diner atmosphere. Also close to the historical town of Ligonier which is a hidden gem.🤩
Ruthie’s Diner might not be in Ohio, but the second you take a bite of the iconic Big R sandwich—stacked with kielbasa, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and mustard—you’ll be like, yo, am I in the Midwest multiverse? This place is straight vibing with cozy energy, skibidi-certified chaos, and meals that absolutely slap. The Big R? Built different. Portions are lowkey massive (big chungus approved), the staff is wholesome AF, and the whole vibe feels like comfort food and main character energy had a baby. 10/10, would devour again.

Cash only. Highly recommend after a night out.

I don’t know how to describe this place other than iconic or nostalgic. The menu has been the same for 30 years. When I say the menu is the same, it’s literally the same laminated sheet with the same pricing. An experience worth having. I don’t know how they do it but I dig it🤙

Please don't clean the bathrooms during business hours. The smell doesn't go very well with the food. Also, if the older gentleman wouldn't slam the dirty dishes we would really appreciate it. It's very distracting.
Great place to eat. lot of Locals
