Ahi Tuna Steak - A seafood dish featuring a baked fish fillet topped with chopped onions, served with white rice, stuffed zucchini, and a creamy sauce.
Steffen R.

Great experience overall, nice service and great food. Drink options were good, opted for a brown ale, but didn't think about pairing it with my dinner which was the Ahi Tuna Steak. Still delicious. A little dark but the atmosphere was cozy and pleasant, not at all loud. Great place for a dinner date if you want something intimate.

Chocolate martini

This is a delicious treat!! Although it was super busy and we did wait over an hour for our food it was worth it! Everything was delicious we did send the paella back due to it not being hot but the flavor was on point, I don't think they have enough help, everyone was running and looked stressed, but we will def try it again not on a weekend! Chocolate Martini was so good! Pineapple dish was very good!

Crab stuffed haddock - A seafood entrée featuring crab-stuffed fish atop pasta with vegetables, drizzled with a yellow creamy sauce, served on a white square plate.

Great for seafood. Very personal service, and I've never had a bad meal. Best halibut ever! The Lobster Cutlet is amazing.

We have had good experiences with our take out orders. They…read moreare a very busy restaurant, given they are really the only Mexican restaurant in Waterville. They are so busy, at times, they do not accept take out orders. We ordered take out and there was a line right to the door waiting to be seated. The tables were full and it was not even 5pm on Saturday. The waiting area is decent, but can get crowded in the front hallways section. The restaurant is a bit dark, in fact, we had a hard time reading the receipt in the waiting area to complete it. Plenting of seating, a lot of booths. Very clean. LOL The staff members were definitely hustling - moving quickly to serve and clear tables and address people getting take out (us). The food tastes fresh and not overly seasoned. I was surprised at how mild, almost dull some of the meats were, with the exception of the delicious chorizo chimichanga. The pulled pork and the chicken, definitely needed the sauces and salsas that come with it. Warning, if you are not fan of cilantro, you may want to ask before ordering, as some of the items have it automatically added and cooked with it. There is plenty of food with every order, including chips and salsa to go. We definitely will be back and hope to have dinner at the restaurant sometime.

Great atmosphere, service was super friendly & prompt - yet he did not pester, nor did he rush us…read moreas we leisurely ate & sipped for nearly 2.5 hrs. The margaritas are large & super strong & delicious!!! An absolute STEAL at only $10. By request he made them w/a tajin rim - yum! The food was fresh, piping hot & delicious also! Very reasonably priced overall. FREE chips w/not only free salsa, but a free jalapeño dip which was AH-MAY-ZING!!! A+, definitely will be back.

We lost our Ruby Tuesday's in Westbrook a few years ago. Probably due to the Covid-interruption and…read moresalad bar rules... We were jazzed to find this one. Our burgers were good especially for the affordable prices. The hush puppies were just generic. The salad bar is simple and straight forward but the PUMPERNICKEL CROUTONS are . Service was very good but some of the booths are a little dated and run down. I definitely recommend getting a meal and adding on the unlimited salad bar for great value.

Went to Ruby Tuesdays 11/9/25 in Waterville Maine. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Now as…read moresomeone who's lived down south and has had homemade chicken and waffles, and chicken and waffles from Waffle House I was expecting the real thing. And to be completely honest I was absolutely disgusted with what was presented to me. Microwaved chicken tenders that was over cooked. And Pre packaged store bought Belgian sugar waffles that was rock hard and cold. The waffles was inedible the chicken tenders over cooked and the cider sauce on the side almost made me puke it was so bad! As someone who's worked for mutable 4.8/5 star restaurants this is absolutely disgusting and why I don't eat at chain restaurants. Food's disgusting, environment was was quite but the booths and decor are outdated, staff are "barley friendly" can tell they just want to go home and not deal with being there. My roommate ordered the fried cat fish. It wasn't properly cooked had zero taste. And finally we both ordered drinks I got a top shelf margarita and they got a ruby refresher My margarita mango. There was absolutely zero alcohol in the first drink I was served and when I asked/told the waitress that you couldn't taste any alcohol she asked kinda rudely if I wanted a second tequila shot. I said yes. Upon getting my second margarita you could taste the alcohol and it was actually good. Over all disappointed at my experience. Any self respecting "chef" or business owner should take pride in the food they are serving and not serve garbage

Poor service and good quality…read more Long wait until order taken. Both servers that helped us were pleasant and polite, but one forgot to refill coffee when asked and about 15 minutes later she did upon second request. Third server for adjacent table was both loud and crude in speaking with her customers, so loud that the man behind me remarked she was blowing out his ear drums. I can confirm that was likely. Eggs were undercooked, toast was not toasted (just warm bread), my wife's order was not cooked as requested. I have been a customer for a long time and have had very good food and service in the past. This was not anywhere close to what I would expect. A box was requested and acknowledged by the server, but not delivered. Had to make a second request. Unfortunately, I will likely not return and will find another breakfast spot. UPDATE: The staff member that checked us out asked about our experience and had follow up questions. I shared a summary for her and she apologized and took 10% off our bill, which was very kind and appreciated. She clearly cared about our experience and should be commended for her job performance.

As long as your not in a hurry, it's a great place for breakfast. From order to food on the table…read morewas 35 minutes, give or take a few minutes. However, not a big deal we all need to slow down a bit anyway. The portion size is awesome, you get your money's worth! I had the Lumberjack #8 and I couldn't finish it all. The family had pancakes...you only need to order one! They are absolutely huge! Ambience of the place isn't bad. It has the small, home town feel which I enjoy very much. I recommend this place for your breakfast needs.
