Ruby Tuesday

Terribly disappointed by the entire experience. Service is lack luster and that’s being generous. We ordered appetizers and received it after our main dishes came out. I ordered a coke and never once was asked if I wanted a refill after my cup was sitting empty at the edge of the table for 20 minutes. The one somewhat positive note was that the food was fine, nothing special. However, again it is the service that needs to improve. Servers, hosts should smile and be friendly. Customers should not feel like the employees at a restaurant are counting the minutes till their next break or till they can clock out. Never once did we feel valued as a guest. Also, the reason our server gave us for the lack of service we received is that they had mistakenly given someone the wrong check and were trying to figure out how to correct the mistake. Bad luck, but you still have guests who are waiting for their service.
Fortunately for Ruby Tuesday, we will probably come back again sometime simply cause it is one of the few sit down restaurants in town that’s not on third street. However, the service NEEDS to improve.

First off, yes I realize this is Ruby Tuesdays and I was not expecting an amazingly delicious meal. But I was expecting something edible.
1) customer service from the waiter and the guy who answered the phone was great. That was all that was great.
2) my husband and I hadn’t felt good, he really wanted steak. He wasn’t expecting the most wonderful steak mind you, but what he got was a large piece of fat. Seriously he had only a couple bites of meat. He also got great beans and mashed potatoes. He didn’t eat any of it since it tasted like a salt bucket. I ordered the New Orleans tilapia and shrimp with baked mac and cheese and spaghetti squash. Tilapia was disgusting. Don’t get it. I also believe there’s was supposed to be some sort of sauce, but there wasn’t any. Cajun season does not mean dump on 10 gallons of salt. The squash was good, I ate all of it.
3) I was actually looking toward to cheesy greasy horrible for you baked mac n cheese. I didn’t get any. When I got home I had asparagus. I called to see if I at least could get refunded for the extra $ 1 I paid for the item I didn’t get. The only thing the manager would offer was for me to drive back to the restaurant to get Mac and cheese and she’d ‘throw in a cheesecake’. You want me to drive all the way back ?? Huh? I don’t even want any cheesecake. Now I realize we are talking about $ 1 here, but since almost the entire meal was the most disgusting impersonation of food I’ve seen I’d hoped to get a little redemption.
Won’t go back. Ever. You won’t even spend much more to get a far better meal elsewhere.

Great salad bar! A great place for a nice lunch. Good service as well.

Use to be really good but for some reason when I order anything deep-​fried now it seems to be over cooked on the outside and undercooked in the middle! Could change up the stuff in the salad bar more often

This place is in serious need of a makeover. It’s like returning to the 70s.

We used to go here fairly often… but we cut back 90% when for some reason the drinks started having virtually no alcohol in them. If their prices are $ 8 and up, I expect a good drink, not just juice or soda. If that’s how they need to make their margins, count me out.

My husband and I usually go here once a month .the convenience is great (we live two
Blocks away) and the staff is over all very friendly. I would recommend the bourbon salmon and the mix and match ribs !

We had heard so much about Ruby Tuesday but don’t have one here in Bakersfield, so we were excited about going. We looked at the menu and saw nothing out of the ordinary so decided on the salad bar. The salads were fresh but not much variety. No soups just salad. It’s definitely not worth $ 10. We sat for a long time after being seated and I finally got up, went to the register and asked for a server who came it seemed begrudgingly. Awful service until the check came and she gave us the spiel in an attempt to increase her tip. Sorry but my normal 20% did not apply.

Good menu, lots of variety, HOWEVER I am presently sitting in a booth that is completely broken down.
If coming to this location I would seriously recommend taking your booth for a test drive first.
When busy, service is slow.

few choices on Sunday night beyond breweries. wanted a place with a possibility of a steak and no craft beer. salad bar was decent. the rest of the food was so heavily salted it was inedible. boo hiss

I decided to go here today with my boyfriend because we wanted some nice juicy burgers
We got there and it looked presentable a lady came up to us and brought us to a booth and gave us our menus. There wasn’t a good variety of burgers most burgers were basically the same. I asked the lady if how much salad bar is and its 3.49… For a plate and its not unlimited. The waitress was a weird lady Aswell we got our burgers well done and when they arrived the paty was burnt super well done it was very crispie and the fries were ok! It wasn’t the worst, but I feel like they didn’t have a good choices. I was expecting more due to the fact that there still is a little pricey!

Awesome Fish Tacos! The staff was really friendly too.

The hostess was professional, the seafood was properly prepared, and the bartender was able to answer my question about the salad bar. Sadly that was the end of the positives from our dining experience. When we sat down at our table we found ourselves mistakenly seated in the employee break room. We were entertained by a demonstration from the manager «Evan» to four of the wait staff on how to safely browse porn on your cell phone with out it saving to the web browser history. We also had a chance to see how much pizza the staff planned on eating while we waited for our food since they had it delivered to the dining room. At some point I am pretty sure our server went on break, because we didn’t see that one again until we had paid the bill. I don’t know for sure that is what happened though because nothing was said to us we just all of the sudden had a new server half way through the meal who didn’t bother to introduce themselves. For a forty dollar meal for two I don’t consider any of these things to be acceptable. Had it cost anymore than that I simply would have asked the manager to be able to pay for the drinks and just forget about our food.
Other things of note, the grilled vegetables aren’t grilled they are pan seared as is the grilled salmon as far as we could tell, not something I care about, but they should probably correct the menu. With all the staff standing around us talking to one another my wife’s empty salad bar plate kept us company on our table until the end of the meal. Even when both of us recieved our entrées we were kept company by her dirty little plate which had long since been shoved to the far edge of the table hoping it would catch the eye of many of the employed passers by. It was not to be.
We will not be returning, but atleast there are plenty of other restaurants in the town to visit that get the concept of service.

The food has improved. Use to really suck, use to avoid this place a few years ago. Still the one off of Murray Blvd, is better. I always get the ribs & shrimp. Or, ribs and Baked potatoes. Plus, go to the bar, bartenders are friendly. Better service also. Hope they can keep up the good service and hot food to bring back customers.

Going to try this place again tonight with Wife and grownup kids and Grandkids. Hope it is OK…
Will update, afterwards.
Well got to give Ruby’s 2 additional stars. We all had such a good time last night. The food was good, it was cooked to order and fresh. The salad bar was stocked with real fresh and tasty items. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere (décor) still needs some sprucing up, there are still too many booths.
All — in — All getting better, McMinnville needs more good choices for dinner.

Nice steak and salad bar.

Recent visit to RT was better. The Cheddar Mashed Potatoes are back! What difference. I like that the portion sizes are correct. The Salad Bar is very good. I would recommend having SOUP available at the Salad bar. Some people like to eat light. Salad Bar and Cup of Soup would be awesome!

We were here for my Dad’s Birthday, which I would consider a special event. Our extremely grumpy waitress offered little in the way of friendliness or or service and our food was absolute garbage. While I did enjoy my shrimp my Dad’s steak was cooked well and was thinner than his plate. My husbands ribs were dry and his side of broccoli looked as if it had gone bad several days earlier. This establishment should be ashamed of what they try to pass off as food. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OUR MONEY!

I was extremely disappointed in RT this visit. I got the cajin shrimp and they were over breaded and over cooked — waaay too brown. The salad bar was missing some of the items I love, the cherry tomatoes, zuchinni and the grapes :(
I left dinner with a stomach ache and regret :(

I was introduced to Ruby Tuesday’s by my mother, thank you mom.
There are not very many Ruby Tuesdays around but I’m willing to go the extra distance to eat here. They provide a happy upbeat atmosphere with scrumptious food. They keep their salad bar stocked with fresh food. They update their menu every now and then to keep things fresh but they do keep around your favorites. Whether you’re in a group with your family or by yourself this is a great place to eat.
