Ruby Tuesday

"We stopped over one night here enroute from Orlando to Washington DC. Our first time at this chain. Typical diner style that served honest, well proportioned and well priced dishes. Bottomless refills and friendly service. We observed an obnoxious party making unreasonable demands and this was met with calms md professional response by the staff."

"I've been to other Ruby Tuesdays in other states/counties. This experience in Fayetteville NC was my worst. They forgot order and had to reorder after sitting for 30 minutes without requested appetizer. When food came out, there was a miscommunication somewhere and they bagged it up. Thankfully, I was sitting by a booth where I saw everything. They removed food from to-GO bag then replace it. ..had it sitting open by the counter area for another 10 minutes then saw me watching..add new coleslaw and brought plate with cold sides. We asked for hot fresh mash and baked potatoes. Thankfully mine came a few minutes after, whereas my grandmother side came when her meal was practically done..at least an extra 30 minutes. She ended up packing it, it was still hard. She microwave it when she arrived home. The other server really tried to help after realizing the screw up. The experience was ruined. I was disappointed but still left a tip."

"We stopped in for dinner in July, 2023. We walked into a restaurant that only had one server. But she had a large amount of tables. The other employees helped where they could. Our server was named Chayanne. She was very up front in telling us that she was all alone as the lone server. So she asked us for understanding. Which of course we gave. We ordered our food. One of the other employees brought it out, but there were a couple of issues. I ordered a rare steak, but it was well done for example. But these people were working their behinds off. So I told Chayanne not to worry about it, I could eat it. It actually wasn't bad. In the end they discounted our dinner to make it right, even though we said it wasn't necessary. Tables kept coming in and some left because they were waiting. But I do not thing these employees turned anyone away. They had trouble clearing tables they were so busy. But they soldiered on. I will say that our dinner was not perfect. But everything tasted good and they did well in my opinion, considering the work load these people had. I cannot give them five stars because things were not perfect. But I gave them four stars across the board because they didn't give up, and did quite good considering the challenges they had."

"I’m always happy when you can ask for a modification to the original plate ingredients and they can actually make the menu item for you with the modification. Can you leave something out? Yes they can, because they make the dish when you order it, not fully prep all the items and have no option to make slight changes for a person diet. Salad bar was fresh, I see they added pumpkin seeds! And the food tasted like I had a home cooked meal. It’s great when you don’t feel like you just ate a gut bomb just because you ate out at a restaurant. Some places are just ‘good people food’ and that’s this place. You can be on a body building diet and eat here I think. High protein meals made with low fat/oil and fresh vegetables. Hard to find a place like that when eating out!"

"First and foremost: do not eat there after the sun goes down because the parking lot is totally dark. You need a flash light to even walk from your car to the front door. It is dangerous due to uneven ground and peddlers asking for money. There have been shootings at nearby hotels, and you cannot even see if someone is about to rob you or attack you because it is so dark. The food is typical Ruby Tuesday fare. They are short staffed, so you have to wait for everything. I am not complaining about that because everybody is short staffed. They also give you plastic silverware instead of real silverware, so I had a hard time cutting the chicken with the plastic knife and had to resort to eating with my hands. I would eat there more often if the parking lot were safer."
