Had my eye on this place for a while and finally stopped in with the Fam-Bam. In my opinion this place is WWaaayyyy better than other BBQ joints such as Lucille's. More specific there BRISKET is like-butter and worth the visit alone! We will definitely be back. read more

Service was good. The food was okay. Meat was tender but not a whole lot of flavor. Mac and cheese was very good. I personally did not like the beans. Coleslaw was very good. Very specious inside. Can accommodate large party's. My overall opinion is it's okay. read more

Randomly searched Yelp for a breakfast spot and discovered this hidden gem! I was skeptical bc it looked like a BBQ spot... but their breakfast blew my mind! Definitely coming back to try the BBQ. Priscilla hooked us up with some FREE beignets - OMG they were delicious, they weren't dense at all! They had pockets inside and that caramel sauce poured inside the fluffy beignets was a mouth orgasm! Pictured: coconut lemon curd pancake, buttermilk pancake, Brisket and Eggs special, and Carolina omelette. read more

Wow!! Ruby Red's has it all - food is fantastic, ambiance and decor are amazing, service is excellent. Our server was Priscilla and she was great, so attentive and friendly. The interior design here is nuts - just so cool and unique. We were so surprised walking in. I wish there were more restaurants like this around, that are themed and willing to have fun with that theme. Food was delicious!!! My boyfriend's exact words a few minutes ago: "I wasn't expecting such a great meal today." We got the BarbeCuban (check out the candied jalapeños, omgggg) with mac n cheese, eggs/potatoes, and we had to get beignets. All fantastic, will definitely be back. read more

Came in today to do a quick last minute order for take out. Kevin was so kind to help me out and explain the menu to me as I was a first time customer here. I ordered a full rack of pork rib and man they DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!! They was sooooo tender and just sliding off the bone! The flavor on these bad boys was beyond amazing! I'm so happy I drove by and thought I would just give it a try. The Ambiance is super cute. Cowboy/western rustic chic. The restaurant itself is big enough to handle a large crowd, but small enough to be unique in its own right. I highly recommend this place, the customer service was top-notch. The food was delicious and the ambience was great. I will definitely be recommending this place and bringing friends Back with me next time. read more

The food was excellent,as well as the service, will definitely come back. Loved the ambiance, nice country music and loved the cowboy decor

This place was pretty cool. The set up made me feel I was in a western. It was like a saloon. Food was very tasty. I had the fried pickles and there were ok. If you love pickles then you would enjoy them. For my dish I got the brisk with two sides. Brisket was soft and it melted in your mouth. It was perfect. The BBQ sauce was ok. I like my sauce to have some spice. For my sides, I had Mac cheese. It was really good. Creamy cheesy. Had a good flavor. My other side was waffle fries. They were good as well. For dessert. We tried there Louisiana beignets. That ended the meal with a smile. I do want to come back to try their pancakes and breakfast. read more

After having BBQ in San Antonio, TX -I was craving some delicious BBQ...Food was good, portions were not as generous as I would have liked but overall it was a delightful visit. Service was hospitable and efficient. I definitely loved the ambiance, from the famous painted portrait to the cowboy hats on the wall and I can't forget the beautiful chandeliers. I don't think I will find BBQ as good as TEXAS BBQ out here in So Cal but a girl can dream read more

Ruby Red's BBQ catered our wedding on January 6, 2026, and I genuinely don't even know where to start -- they were AMAZING from beginning to end. My husband and I first met them at a Wedding Expo where they were giving out free samples. We instantly fell in love with the food, but what really sealed the deal was the people. We met the owners, Nick and Jake, and also their server Amanda, who has clearly been part of their team for a long time. All three of them were so warm, welcoming, and full of personality -- we hit it off immediately. Amanda was truly a STAR, Jake was incredibly sweet, and Nick was so cool (yes, with the cowboy hat ). Nick even went above and beyond on the spot and brought out a HUGE brisket and started slicing it fresh right in front of us. We were talking and laughing so much that they invited us to the back where my husband got special brisket pieces -- and they even let us take food home. That's the type of heart they have. After the expo, we scheduled a free tasting, and it was perfect. We went to their actual restaurant (which is beautiful, quiet, and intimate), and we got to taste everything on the menu. The food was fresh, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was top tier. Jake was the main person I communicated with during the planning process and he was AMAZING. He always responded, always answered questions, and was so easy to work with. When some of our guests cancelled and our guest count dropped, Jake accommodated us without any stress. Instead of us losing money, they allowed us to add another item to our menu that we originally couldn't afford -- with no extra charge. That level of flexibility and care is rare. On the wedding day, they arrived on time, set everything up smoothly, and our guests RAVED about the food. The brisket, the sides -- everything was a hit. Even our venue staff complimented how great the catering was. And as if they hadn't already done enough, they surprised us with a wedding gift: 2 pounds of brisket just for me and my husband, served on our sweetheart table. We were so touched. It was one of the sweetest, most thoughtful things any vendor did for us. If I could give Ruby Red's BBQ a 10/10, 20/20, 100/100, I would. Their customer service, food quality, professionalism, and genuine kindness are unmatched. We will absolutely be using them for every event we have in the future -- and even just as regular restaurant customers. If you're considering them for catering OR just want a great meal, do it. You will NOT regret it. read more

Friendly, attentive service and good food. I ordered the brisket plate with cole slaw, corn bread and waffle fries; my wife ordered the ribs with mac and cheese, corn bread and brisket beans. We've both had Memphis barbecue before and these dishes could definitely hold their own against them. Only negative was that the sauces were just meh. I wouldn't make a long drive to eat here again BUT if I were in the area (like at Knotts' Berry Farm, for example) and wanted BBQ, I'd definitely stop in. read more

Loved our visit to Ruby Red BBQ! Amazing service from our server Amanda--super friendly and attentive. The corn chowder was delicious, and the sandwiches were loaded with very generous portions of meat. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. We'll definitely be back! read more

Food: the food here is plentiful and so fresh. I shared The Platter and we had lots of leftovers. The sides were delicious, brisket beans and collard greens. Ambience: I love the decorations and it a very classy, western themed. I can't wait to come during Christmas. Service: everyone is very friendly, especially Jeanette. She was very polite, courteous and friendly. She persuaded me to come back for breakfast and I definitely will. read more

We've been here more than a few times before for lunch and dinner. Even brought out of town friends to check it out. It never disappointed. I've always loved the cornbread. This holiday weekend, we decided to check out their new breakfast menu. I was surprised to see the new add-on room. I love the kitschy/ but classy old west look. Now you had me at bacon from a BBQ place, but you add in beignets and I'm there. The wonderfully friendly waitress suggested we try the syrup on the beignets and it was perfect. We'll have to try the lemon curd next time...and there will be a next time. Another at our table had the eggs and brisket was a huge meal for the price. And that meat was amazingly tender. My biscuit sandwich was good, but the breakfast potatoes weren't as great as the dinner side ones. read more

Date night at this well decorated western ambiance that transported us back to a few bbq joints like it Montana around Yellowstone or Wyoming Jackson hole. Anyhow back to the food, $46.99 pick two meats(brisket and pulled pork) sides were brisket beans and waffle fries. And ordered another side salad because there wasn't enough veggies offered as sides like green beans or asparagus which would go well with these meats. The portions were perfect to share on a date night for two. But if you have kids with you or other adults this deal would not be filling and you will require additional meats like the meats combo upgrades or premium craft meat meals. The brisket alone without the bbq sauce tasted normal and soft not as juicy but was alright. The pulled pork was dry and definitely need the sauces because alone it was just pulled pork. This place being a local business and the effort to decorate the interior and the servers were all so helpful and portions is what gets the 4 stars. I'll have to try this joint again it being a local shop and try their meats again for consistency and quality because it's hard to not compare it to other bbq joints like Villains Brewing Company has juicy and flavorful meats and waffle fries but it's a busy brewing company and outdoors so foot tend to get cold quicker or Craft smoke and fire which is over priced and over salted but it is juicy bbq but not consistent. Also because this place serves breakfast my family will be back to give it a try! Also a huge plus that they offer gluten free options! Well done! read more

Food is great service is excellent and the ambience is wonderful Breakfast was great. Dinner was awesome.

What took me so long to try this delicious local BBQ? Been twice for breakfast and eager to come back for lunch or dinner. The blueberry french toast, brisket and eggs, strong coffee, and the big easy omelette are definite winners. The pancakes are hit or miss because the first time, the pancakes were light and fluffy but the second time, they were heavy and dense. I think the batter sat too long and was over stirred for our order but hubby says the batter was made just in time and did not sit a few minutes like it should. Either way, the brioche French toast is a better way to go. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender! Service was excellent with Jeanette. She always has a smile and has great recommendations. Minus one star for the inconsistent pancakes and the music, not a country fan but willing to tolerate for the great food and atmosphere. Not busy for weekday breakfast. Easy and plentiful parking. read more

I came to this restaurant a few weeks ago, and unfortunately, I left a little disappointed. I had ordered the 2 meat platter, with the brisket and pulled pork. For sides, i ordered the creamed corn and the fries. The fries were crispy and salted, as expected. The creamed corn was okay, I wished it was a little creamier. However, the rest of the platter was a little bit of a let down. The brisket was pretty dry and bland in all honesty. I wished there had been more of a rub/bark; some pieces had more than others, so you never knew if the bite you were taking was going to be full of flavor or if it was going to be more on the unseasoned side. The pulled pork unfortunately was also pretty dry. For a bbq spot, I thought the meats would have more of a smoky flavor, but it only had a whisper of smokiness, almost as if they had used a smoke gun rather than a smoker for an extended period of time. I had also ordered a sweet tea, but that unfortunately was also a let down and not representative of the sweet tea that you would find in the southern bbq states. The restaurant itself was pretty empty, which was especially shocking since I came on a Saturday afternoon. When we were sat, there was a huge spider next to our table, so we did request to switch tables. I know that pests can be found at a lot of places, but it did make me question the cleanliness of the restaurant. Unfortunately, this restaurant just did not live up to my bbq expectations. read more

What a great place for dinner. The vibe, the surroundings, the music. All great. Decided to go with something different from the amazing beef rib. I had the pastrami Ruben . Yumm.

When I tell you this is by far the best BBQ, service, and country atmosphere around, I mean it! Me and my boyfriend's family came to celebrate his father's birthday. My boyfriend and I arrived on time at 7 pm for our reservation but had a misunderstanding and the parents ended up being late, we didn't get food in until around closing at 8, but the entire time not once did our server make us feel rushed or that we were over staying our welcome. Kevin was our server and he was SOOO awesome. Told us all the good deals and what is the best bang for our buck- even told us his favorite sides. Ordered the family feast and it was A-LOT of food but every bite was so delicious. We asked about the dessert early cause we didn't want to intrude and he told us not to worry about a thing and order it when we were ready. Hands down some of the best service I've ever had. THANK YOU KEVIN!! And thank you to the other staff that stayed and made our experience so worth it! 10000/10 coming again. read more

Ruby Red's BBQ is a hidden gem in La Habra. We ordered the family platter and had the chance to try most of their dishes. We loved it all. The meats were tender and just right. It wasn't too oil or dry. The seasoning done right and the sauces were all great. The service is just as great. Everyone is welcoming and caring. Our server, Hannah, went over the menu, which made ordering easy. She also gave us a short history of the restaurant along with who made the beautiful designs. She was amazing and was very hospitable. The ambiance here is purely Western and it feels like you're transported to a saloon. We love it! We'll definitely be back! read more

As soon as you walk into the restaurant you are traveled back into the 1800's. The ambiance is old western time and they nailed it to a T down to the last spittoon. I loved the look of the saloon style restaurant. Huge fan of the plaques on the tables telling us a little bit about the history of table. Service was GREAT! Amanda was awesome! Very attentive and such a great personality! We had a large loud group of friends and she let us ring the bell! So awesome! Highly recommend. Food was delicious! I've had BBQ before but this was all around great including the sides! Huge fan of Mac and cheese and the cream of corn. Corn bread was fresh and homemade and butter was great! My sandwich was great because it had all of the meats that I wanted wrapped up into one bun and it was massive. I definitely recommend the spicy sausage. The flavors were really great southern cream corn caught me off guard. It was really delicious. I took a gamble and let the waitress pick my side and she hit a home run! My boyfriend tried the sliders which are miniature versions of the full-size sandwiches you can choose from. He chose the barbecuban, the Texan and the pulled pork sandwich. All the meats were tender and juicy full of flavor and saucy, and not too saucy the way he likes it. The Beignets were really fluffy and delicious! Way better than Disneyland. read more

I ordered a side of cream corn and they gave me some weird mixup of macaroni and a tiny amount of corn. It's not what I ordered or wanted. I hate when places don't have enough of something and just use filler without telling the customers what they did. There were other problems, but I'll leave it at this. read more

A very good eating experience. The "windows" on the booth seats are cute. It feels fun. We got the Platter for 2. The food was plentiful and pretty. I especially liked the hot sausage, chicken, and ribs. The service was very welcoming. Overall twas a good time. read more

When you walk in, the place has a pretty nice ambience, cool decor, the staff is very friendly and attentive. I think the price point is high for what you are served, a plate of brisket with two sides is over $30, the meat was decent, but the french fries were very underwhelming, they reminded me of the frozen waffle fries you would buy from a grocery store. read more

Liked the pulled pork and the collard greens. The waffle fries were very undercooked. Don't know why anyone would look at them and think they could be served. Ruben was a little on the dry side but used the sauce from the pulled pork to make the pastrami palatable. Remodeled interior was a plus. Would come back. Excellent service. Limited beer selection. read more

My husband and I had lunch here a couple weeks ago. We walked in and could smell smoke and meat and we were excited! We were the only ones in here, and the entire time we were there, only one other person came in. Service was great, our waitress was a sweetheart and very helpful. The decor is very on theme, it looks nice. They blast country music, which my husband absolutely hated, but I was able to tune it out. Their breakfast menu looks really good, would love to try their Biscoff Butter Cookie pancakes and some of their omelettes sometime, but they stop serving breakfast at noon. I will have to get there a little earlier to try those! One of their appetizers is Cowboy Caviar, which we have never had. We asked the waitress what it was, she said lots of beans, corn, tomatoes...then she stopped herself and said "I can just bring you a sample for free if you want to try it." We did. LOVED the Cowboy Caviar! The "sample" was a very decent portion, perfect for two people. I can't imagine how large a normal serving is! It was served cold with tortilla chips, like a pico de gallo, it's an excellent mixture of beans, other veggies, and a somewhat sweet vinaigrette on it. We both went with their craft meats, which oddly do not come with sides. I had their brisket and a hot link and added mac & cheese on the side. He had their St. Louis ribs, a house link, and a cornbread muffin. It was all hit or miss for us. Brisket was good, but not mind blowing. Tender, but didn't seem too fresh, was brought to me cold. I really enjoyed my hot link, it was slightly spicy, very cheesy, and had a great flavor. But the casing was SO tough and very difficult to cut through with the dull butter knife you are given. I also got a small piece of bone in my first bite, which grossed me out. Mac & cheese was AMAZING. Hubby's ribs were ok. I personally hate spare ribs, but these were better than others I have had. He was just whatever about them. His house link tasted strongly of licorice, neither of us liked the flavor, it also had that super tough to cut through casing. Cornbread muffin was dry and crumbly, difficult to eat. The maple butter served with it was absolutely delicious, but hard as a rock, so it was impossible to spread it on the falling apart muffin. Not sure why they aren't using thawed whipped butter on this bread? They have four BBQ sauces, we asked to try all of them. Only three were brought to us, we didn't complain about the missing Alabama White sauce. Out of the ones we had, we both agreed the Carolina was the best. If I came back at lunch again, I would try their chicken, or maybe a sandwich. Honestly though I would rather try their breakfast than revisit the BBQ again. read more

Came in for lunch, ordered 3 meats meal with 2 sides and added a cornbread for 1.99. Sausage - it has a LOT of herbs inside. I had to return it because I couldn't take another bite Brisket - super dry Pork ribs - this was decent but it was still dry. Chicken (in place of the returned sausage) - thick white meat slab, also dry. Cornbread - it was VERY dry. Like crusty dry. Food came out super fast which means it was just sitting there waiting for some sucker to get fooled into eating it. Their best item was the potato salad. Service was great, tipped him 20% and the bill was $80, never again. Go to Wood Ranch, this place does not know how to bbq. I should've walked out when there wasn't a single patron at 1pm read more

The food is amazing! It came out fast and the service was quick and attentive. We ordered ribs and sandwich with some corn bread. The lemonade was definitely freshly made. The restaurant itself is pretty dim and very stylish. I was skeptical to go here because it is dark but honestly its really clean in there! In our booth there was a little chandelier above us. Nice little vibe. 10/10 for sure. The corn bread was moist. The hot links were soooo good. Filled with cheese and peppers. I took half of my burger home to airfry lol. read more

Yelp has been recommending this spot so we decided to try it and came in on Sunday for dinner. We were immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming hostess that escorted us to our beautiful booth in their saloon dinning area. This definitely set the tone for hopefully a memorable evening. The restaurant's decor was esthetically nice if you're into country, not really my cup of tea. There are beautiful chandeliers on the ceilings, cow skulls on the walls, and a bunch of cowboy hats. The saloon dinning room has beautiful booths with videos of running rivers. The entire room is staged and felt like being on a western movie set. Our server was amazing, she was attentive, and made great menu recommendations. She also gave us a complimentary appetizer since it was our first time here. Now for the food, we ordered the platter for two, they were out of pork ribs which was highly disappointing and only serve beef ribs on Friday. So you may want to call ahead if you're coming for the ribs. The black angus brisket was bursting with flavors and very delicious. However we ordered double smoked chicken breast since there were no ribs and to be very honest they were horrible. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, it didn't appear that any seasoning was added and just rubbed on top. The pulled pork didn't even looked fully cooked, we didn't eat it. We did enjoy the mac & cheese, cream corn, and corn bread muffin. We didn't want to complain and just brought the un- eaten food home, I'll throw it on a skillet, add some seasoning, and make tacos. Another thing was that the meats were cold as if they had been sitting all day and just brought out when ordered. At least throw the food in a microwave to heat it up. In conclusion, we were so excited to come here but we're just disappointed with the food and how it was presented. Maybe we just came on a bad day, I don't know but it felt short of our expectations of a great dinning experience! read more

I actually showed up to this place because my local disc golf club was hosting a tournament that was sponsored by these guys. I had already eaten but I wanted to grab some dessert for the family. 10 beignets, 3 Texas chocolate chunk cookies and $22 later, my family was all smiles. Beignets were made fresh, cookies were nice and warm with a crispy edge and gooey interior. Will come back for sure. Also, waited a bit because the beignets are made fresh, but the hostess was so nice and always checked on me to make sure I was okay while I was waiting. read more

My parents ate here before, but it was my first time. We came for the BOGO breakfast deal. The interior looks kind of gaudy from the outside, but the Victorian saloon is actually very pretty once you enter. We were able to be seated in a booth, and the story behind how Ruby Red's came to be is quite interesting. Sadly, there were a couple of items we couldn't order yet because it's on the lunch menu. I kind of wish they had other options for brisket, other than ordering it with eggs, or a salad option, instead of potatoes. It was an extremely heavy but hearty meal, and I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious everything came out to be. The brisket is very tender, and the sweet, tangy sauces paired well with everything. Customer service was on point, especially when they brought out our meal. One of the ladies that brought out refills for coffee even spoke a bit of Korean to us, which was nice. You can tell that they are big on presentation because they put a lot of effort into the details. I'm glad I finally decided to give Ruby Red's a chance! (^: read more
