Ruby's Cajun Seafood Boilhouse

If I could get this establishment zero stars, The server that was making my food in the back, was picking in the food and eating the food while she was preparing it with no gloves when I brought it to the attention of management she acted as if she didn’t know what I was talking about luckily, I got it on video.

Made an online order and the restaurant gave me the wrong order. I called to inform the "restaurant" and the front desk lady gave me mad attitude and made every insensible excuse as to why my order was wrong (they have me crawfish rather than the New Zealand Mussels) or never existed in their store... PLEASE FIRE THE LADY as she will drive customers away...next time, I'm taking my money to OHOT or Moy Fong where customer service exists. Y'all just lost some loyal customers.

**Food Review of Ruby's Cajun Seafood Boil**

I recently had an impromptu meal at Ruby's Cajun Seafood Boil, and it turned out to be quite an experience! I was in the mood for some fried fish and was lucky enough to find a cozy spot to sit alone.

After browsing the menu, I decided to go for a half pound of Dungeness crab and a flounder basket. The Dungeness crab arrived with a side of butter and garlic sauce, along with a potato and an ear of corn. While I appreciated the generous portion, I found the crab a bit dry, suggesting it may have been sitting a while before my order. The shell itself could have used a thorough cleaning, as I noticed some dirt that detracted from the overall enjoyment—especially when you want to savor every bit of that flavorful sauce.

The corn looked appealing, but unfortunately, it lacked sweetness and had a starchy flavor that didn’t quite hit the mark. I opted not to touch the potato since I was focused on the fries that came with the flounder basket. The basket itself was solid; the flounder was tasty but could have benefitted from an extra 4-5 minutes in the fryer for a crispier texture. The fries were hot and delicious—pretty standard but satisfying.

On the bright side, the service was outstanding. My waitress was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed, including refills on my drink.

Overall, my meal at Ruby's was acceptable, but I would approach the shellfish items with caution in the future given the cleanliness issues I encountered. If the Dungeness crab had been buried in that delicious garlic butter sauce, it might have masked some of the dryness, but the uncleaned shells were a definite downside. I would consider returning, but with a careful selection of my order!

Parking: They're the huge mall parking lot with plenty of parking for the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: There's a lot of themed items on the walls kids would love to eat here plenty to look at The tablecloths have activities for the kids to do like word searches and different types of puzzles to keep them busy while they wait for their food.

Wheelchair accessibility: If I remember correctly the entrance is flat and easy to maneuver if you were in a wheelchair.

The food was seasoned perfectly. I had shrimps and mussels. I did not eat in the restaurant, that's why I didn't give a higher score for the atmosphere.
