I was there on a Saturday evening after dinner in July. I hadn't been in a few years. I got a scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream on a sugar cone. It's creamy and delicious. Their selection goes a little beyond the basic flavors and it looks like they have some fancy coffee and decorated cones to move with the times. If you're passing through St. James or even just passing by on I-44 I highly recommend a stop for a treat at Ruby's. This is Route 66 - nostalgic Americana.

Every month or so I get this craving for their Oreo pie. It's so good! But here at this location (Waynesville) they don't give you the proper amount of portion for it being almost $9! I bought a WHOLE slice pie and it was so small! There's a whole and a half slice. If this was a whole I'm wondering what would be the half slice. A whole slice is $1 more than the half. I know there's inflation but this is just ridiculous! The Rolla one gives you the proper amount for the price. So I suggest skipping this and if you're in the Rolla area to go there. Plus, they have a full dinning area and they serve food as well :) To the slice of pie here in Waynesville, maybe train your employees better or have a pie size chart. Because it's always a different slice size every time I come one but this time was the smallest I got for it being a WHOLE! Anyways hope you don't lose business by scamming people ‍ *Covered up the name just in case it was the person that served me and I don't want their name out there.

Stopped in here following lunch, to find a bright spot in the food scene - I succeeded! A great little place, with fantastic ice cream, and nostalgia tucked in the corner candy section. I wanted one of everything on the menu, it was hard to make my decision. Opted for a Sunday (I was actually there on a Subday and found it fitting). The staff were friendly, the shop very neat with quirky pieces of furniture. Great place to stop on Route 66 for a refreshing treat. Date night, meeting friends, family outing, or to celebrate milestones...ice cream should always be part of the equation.

Extensive menu, so many choices my wife had a difficult time deciding. Core cream was creamy & delicious. Good size portions.

Granted we are from out of town, but it was a bit uncomfortable to say the least.
