Representing Tennessee established restaurant in America 250 series is Ruby Tuesday. I've already…read morereviewed the 2 existing locations I've been to in my home state, Maryland. I visited in November 2024 for dinner on the way to visiting my parents for Thanksgiving weekend. Ruby Tuesday runs lots of various specials like BOGO $3 deal or whatever. Tuesday is discontinued burger day, and I was coming up on that Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Their burgers are good here; I feel the burger is a strong choice over some other items which are bit mixed. Service was very good that night here.
This location has a view as it's on the top of a pretty high hill. I just realized it's on Far Hills Drive when I was looking at the map. Too bad it was pitch dark outside, and the window with the high view faces the east, which is mainly rural, but still would've been a nice view in the daytime. Shrewsbury is mainly to the west of here.
In addition to my delicious burger, I added the salad bar for $5.99 more. The salad bar has been Ruby Tuesday's famous staple since their humble beginnings in Knoxville in 1972. Ruby Tuesday was created by University of Tennessee frat brothers. So, I guess something good came from the U of Tennessee Volunteers...haha...j/k.
The salad bar has some good fixings overall, but the best thing are the brown croutons. Edamame is a unique thing that I like on the salad bar. I was annoyed last time I was at the one near BWI Airport in Baltimore area because I added the salad bar, and they didn't have the croutons. They were making them, but it took them like 10 minutes to get to me. See my 3-star review of that location written in 2023. 2024-2026 my girlfriend & I have been a few times, and it's been mostly 4-stars; so on average my opinion has improved of that location since 2023.
In summary, I'd consider revisiting this location if on the way up to visit my parents, but might want to go in the daytime to see what the view is like.
