Food is amazing steak is so tender and flavorful the first time we went service was awesome! The second time we went food was still great but service was not good there was a couple that sat opposite of us with a different server and they got their food before we even got menus. read more

This will now be our go to "steakhouse"... how can I even call it a steakhouse when the prices are so affordable?!! I don't even want to talk about what you get for the price because I don't want them to raise them but WOW the value is unsurpassable!! My husband and I eat in a lot of fine dining restaurants and this truly is comparable to them. Well in food quality. The atmosphere is slightly different and nobody is wiping all the bread crumbs off the table that you spilled while devouring that warm loaf of sourdough ... but anyhow it's like an old western restaurant very casual but oh so good. Let me just get into it -- I went here two weeks in a row and ordered the same thing - 7 oz bacon wrapped filet mignon with two sides. TWO!!! For like 23.00?!?!!?! I won't annoy you with all the exclamation points I'd like to use. Now the first time I have to say my steak was a little rare I ordered medium and it definitely wasn't but it still was yummy I just get concerned about undercooking. The next week is when I brought my husband for the first time and it was PERFECT. The bacon they wrap it adds such a perfect flavor to each bite. The 7 ounce is perfect size for me. They also offer I believe 9 oz and 11 oz going up in price by a couple dollars. My two sides I chose were sautéed mushrooms and if you like mushrooms I highly recommend them!! They were perfectly soft and melted in my mouth with a bite of that filet. My second side was their signature "jacketed baked potato" which is I believe deep fried and topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, and chives if you prefer. There is no describing this you just need to have it. I almost cleaned my plate both times. Husband ordered the 9 oz sirloin bacon wrapped as well with a Gorgonzola cheese topping and said it was totally worth it for us to drive all the way across town to come to. He also had the jacketed baked potato and ate it all FIRST. His other side was French onion soup which actually came out like an appetizer and he said was very good too. Did I mention the warm sourdough bread oh my. I just wish the butter was a little softer. Our server was a nice young girl I think her name was Jessie that was prompt and helpful but gave us our space to eat which was so nice when you're stuffing your face and not being interrupted. The only thing I wish she would have asked is if we were celebrating anything (we were - my husband's birthday!) because clearly we were overdressed for the casual atmosphere and I didn't know how else to bring it up ‍ Can't wait to go back I'd like to try other things on the menu but I honestly don't know if I'll stray from what I already love. read more

By far my favourite steak house. The only thing here is if you want prime rib you have to come early. I have never been able to get the prim rib . The ribeye is amazing . Great service great food read more

Steaks amazing! Service awesome! Wife and I shared the prime rib, Son had a ribeye. Great food great service! They are actually seating customers! Ya!! Thank goodness, I'm so over COVID-19. Friendly reminder masks are mandatory, to enter entering. read more

Across the street and within walking distance from The Peppermill Resort-Reno. We decided to try Ruby River Steakhouse, it's close to our hotel and full of good Yelp reviews. Upon entering we noticed the "old western theme" which continued to the ultra dark dining area where we were seated. No Joke: We removed the lamp shades to view the menu! We also removed the lamp shades again when our dinner arrived, because Its nice to see your food. I ordered the ribs which I wouldn't recommend if you enjoy or know good bbq. My friend ordered the garlic butter steak, which was loaded with so much butter the steak flavor had zero flavor. The Parmesan cheese baked tomato, sounds good on paper, but that's it! Our waitress was attentive, although the food was mediocre at best. I typically post pictures of our food choices although, zero from this evening were worthy due to the lighting or lack there of. . read more

Honestly, this is the SPOT! This is where it's at! The service we received was AMAZING from start time finish! I was so happy Yelp pointed me in the right direction to this place! Since Covid started, we haven't been able to eat inside a restaurant. When we drove to Nevada, we finally got too! What an amazing experience! The food portions were HUGE! The endless bread, the yummy butter! Oh man! I could go on and on! I got the New York, I'm used to smaller sizes, but this truly took the stage! It was plenty for sharing! The garlic mashed potatoes! Need I say more? Heaven! Overall, I'd go there again and again and again! read more

On par for all the times we've need to Ruby River, consistency is good and but variety is the spice of life! Going to Ruby River on a weekend night for dinner seldom does not require a wait to be seated and this visit I'd estimate that was about a half hour. A barrel of peanuts sits in the waiting area which keeps you pleasantly occupied while waiting. Seating for two put us, what seems to be our assigned booth, because coincidentally the last few times we've dined at the RR we've been seated at the same booth for two on the perimeter of the bar. It's quite a busy area as you can imagine because those waiting for tables make the area more contested and louder than other seating areas in the restaurant. Next time I'm going to ask not to be seated in that area. The menu at RR is consistent too. Don't be expecting to hear about specials of the day because it ain't happing. But the selections on the menu are quite varied and their signature steaks are really very good! The jacketed yam is also a favorite because it's really good and not available at competitor restaurants. As much as I wanted to order it I didn't because I went for the plain yam to be more in line with my dietary preferences. The salad is a good side dish option which is good with lots of toppings. Also the dinners come with complementary warm sourdough bread with butter, which in my opinion is a meal in itself! Our Server was very good; she was attentive and friendly which are the two basic qualifications we look for in a server - Danielle M. definitely a job well done! RR is defiantly worth checking out if your in the area especially for out of town visitors staying directly across the street from The Peppermill. Food and service is consistently good. read more

Omg....first off I want to apologize to my friends about going here and trying prime rib! This place is just so unorganized and I'm really not going to blame it on the covid19, as I recall my last review for them wasn't good as well! We wanted to meet up and have prime rib (2 out of 3 party) I first ordered a glass of Merlot and that took atleast 18 minutes to arrive and now ready to take our order...very young server named Marcus. We ordered 2 prime rib and 1 rib eye dinner! 15 minutes later our server came and let us know they had run out of prime rib, we need to order something else...we were bummed but went with the ribeye as well! Everything arrived but guess what? No silverware, no S&P no nothing! It took about 8 minutes and we finally received our forks and knives... from there it just kinda became a bad dream... my first guest was ok with her meal as well as my second guest! Mine came out raw as you'll see in the images! The other thing I wanted to add was that those lovely baked potato's must have been from the night before as they kinda just fell apart and weren't the normal jacketed bakes! I was so disappointed as I made this a friend reunion and it was just so disappointing! I will say that I will NOT be back and yes manager we spoke with comped my meal but was disappointed that the manager said they don't do prime rib on Sundays, our server was not told that so total lack of communication on management and training! read more

Good Food. Good potion size. Drinks were good but a bit slow. Good value and good Drinks. Menue a bit like Texas Roadhouse but the Steaks were seasoned better read more

Ruby River Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Customer service is BEYOND excellent! This restaurant could serve as a model for how customer service should be. Food is mouth-watering and delicious! The chef definitely knows amazing flavor. Appearance of the place is a dated country, western style. Bathrooms-just use the bathroom at home before coming here. The bathrooms are awful! Cost-the food is worth every penny! read more

Out for a late Valentine dinner. Very nice private booths. Service was good. Food was delicious!!

I'm a huge fan of Ruby River Steakhouse, never In 4 years I have left this place dissatisfied. Ruby is a great example of a steakhouse where you don't have to pay an absurd amount of money for your meal. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. I usually walk out with a food comma. RESTAURANT: This amazing restaurant is located on Virginia Street, across from the Peppermill Hotel. The decoration and the inside suggest a cowboy/rodeo style. It's a little more casual than other steakhouses but the quality of the food can easily compete with the most expensive steakhouses in town. Lots of rodeo pictures on the walls, cowboy boots and buckets with peanuts are part of the decoration. Good size restaurant, with option of seating at the bar, table, booth and private room (upon request). FOOD: The food at Ruby River is just amazing!! Everything here is delicious! You can always judge a place by the fresh baked bread they bring, Ruby's SOURDOUGH is just incredible. They have a big selection of appetizers but my fave are the "coconut shrimps." Here are some of my favorite choices for entrees: -Bacon Wrapped Filet mignon! I like it medium rare, juicy and flavorful. Sooo tender! -Prime Rib, cooked to perfection. -12 oz. Ribeye, marbled steak with incredible flavor. -Steak Oscar, great option if you want to try something different. The topping with crab is delicious! -Parmesan Halibut, when I'm not in the mood for steak, I'm in the mood for seafood. This halibut it's super filling and tastes great! The entrees come with two sides, so I normally get a salad, house salad with blue cheese! Omg! I crave this salad. They put eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions and croutons in the salad! The plate is chilled so the salad feels super fresh! For my second side, I normally get a jacketed baked potato, which is served with sour cream, green onion, butter and bacon! Yummm! Other times I feel more like a yam, mmmm they give you cinnamon butter to put on it! Delish!! They also have healthier sides, like broccoli, asparagus, and sauté mushrooms. It is impossible (al least for me) to come here and not have a "RUBY-RITA," similar to a margarita but stronger and with some sweet juice, cheers! SERVICE: I can't write a review about Ruby's without applauding the excellent service here! The front staff, bartenders, waiters, cooks and manager. They all work together to give you the best experience! I've had JOSH, several times and he is always on point. He does such a great job managing the big crows that suddenly arrive here. He is fast and always check on us. You know a business is doing the things right when the manager always takes time to visit every table and make sure that everything is good. I love that! It makes me feel they care about customers. 5 Stars Restaurant on Salmita's List :-) 5/5 On Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance read more

1st time here. We had reservations. We arrived and was told to washout outside until our table was ready. About 15 minutes later we were escorted there. We ordered the calamari. They were good but I've had better. There were 6 of us. All our dinners were good except the prime rib. He asked for medium but was served a medium rare that could have actually been rare. It had a lot of fat. The server should have come back to let him know they didn't have medium but he ate what he could. All the desserts were amazing. All in all, this place was really good except for what I mentioned above. read more

I give one star So me and my wife went last Saturday as soon as we sat down it felt a little weird. The waitress came to our table we ordered 2 comaczi drinks and she said what's in that so we kinda told her what was in it she came back with our drinks and the first sip was strong besides we asked for kettle one vodka I don't think it was. So we started looking around, and I noticed everything covered in a thicFrench Onion Soupk layer of dust my wife dropped her credit card, so I shine my phone under the table to see that there was more food under the table than on it plus used toothpicks and oh ya the cook kept yelling and whistling very loud made it uncomfortable for us both.I do not recommend this place the food was also not great ribs were dry and the chicken was covered in a mound of cheese couldn't even tell what it was. read more

Just a good old fashion steak house, not fancy no frills, but good food and good service. I would recommend.

Ordered the 16 oz Ribeye Steak last night. It was awful- full of fat, very little meat and string like tendon throughout the steak. I almost chocked. I told the waitress and she offered to replace it with a New York. I thought how nice. It was totally (Flat) in flavor, just awful. I paid $30 plus dollars for 2 Very Bad New York (16) oz steaks, The loaf of bread was cold, and very doughy. What happened to this Steak House, it use to be so good. NEW OWNERS????? read more

I have driven by this place every trip I make to Reno and finally decided to give it a try. Thank goodness I finally tried this place out. We arrived 1 hour after they opened their doors and we were seated right away. The waitress took our order shortly after and it did not take long for our dinners to arrive. I ordered the Top Sirloin and Baby Back Ribs. The sirloin was cooked just right and Delia. The ribs were cooked to perfection and the meet fell off the bone easily. It had the right amount of BBQ sauce but I had to order extra on the side because it was that good. The price of the meal was right in my opinion and well worth it. I definitely will be stopping in more often during my Reno trips. read more

My family has been going here for years. We have always been able to get a good meal for a reasonable price. The meats have always been better than most. Since the pandemic, the restaurant has gone downhill. Although the servers are still efficient and polite, the quality of the food has deteriorated. It is obvious that they have decided to use lesser quality meats in an effort to cut overhead. The meats are tougher and have less flavor. My recent visit included prime rib, which had the taste and texture of a rump roast. My companion's steak was tough and lacked flavor. I hope that Ruby River can rebound from the poor decision to cut quality. I'll probably give it one more chance, but that would be it. read more

We had a gift card and came in not expecting much but oh my! The appetizer sampler was over-fried to the point of almost burnt and the sauces weren't great. My cocktail's ice was just about melted by the time it got to our table. My partner's ribeye had THREE different meat temperatures in the same steak, the salad tasted like a bagged Caesar. My steak was over done and very tough. The mashed potatoes had no flavor. We took a few bites and asked for the check. (Our server never asked why we sent full plates back) The icing on top was the thick layer of dust drifting down from the exposed ducts. There was also a greasy, thick layer of dust at the table- please see photos attached. read more

Old time steakhouse in Reno. Went on a Tuesday night and it was fairly busy. The interior is done in a Western motif. The wife and I both ordered steaks. First let me tell you that we received excellent service from the hostess to the server. Hostess was kind and the server never a drink stay empty long nor did the plates stack up on the table. Great job. The sides were pretty good but I did have a hiccup on one. The "jacketed baked potato" was a surprise and not a good one for me. It is a deep fried baked potato. I guess I should have asked about the jacket. The steaks were very flavorful but a lot on the tough side and they "appeared" to us to be a little on the light side as to weight. Too tough to be "21 day aged" beef. We would normally given three stars but the service side held up and bumped it to four stars. read more

Simply steak house, service was okay, selection was ordinary, steak under cooked slightly, add one small portion. Location was the only positive for me. read more

Omg this is place is THE BOMB DOT COM!!!! Ok, if and when you come here YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE STEAK AND AVOCADO EGG ROLLS!!! It's the best appetizer I've ever had and that's saying a whole lot! The ribeye was melt in your mouth so good! My husband had the ribs and loved it too! Our server was Maggie and she was phenomenal! Very nice, got us refills on our drinks, we never had to ask for anything she was always 2 steps ahead! We will definitely be coming back! Great anniversary dinner! read more

This place gives me the vibe of a Sizzlers and Texas Roadhouse. The decor is a little outdated and could use a remodel. This is the 2nd time that I have eaten here and both experiences have been just okay. The service here is always great, but the food is what lacks. On this occasion, I ordered the Porterhouse steak with a side of asparagus and the iceberg wedge salad. I liked the salad, it had just the right amount of blue cheese crumble to dressing. The asparagus and steak is where it was sub par. The steak was cooked to my liking, a perfect medium rare, but it lacked seasoning. It was very bland and for a porterhouse, it was not juicy. The asparagus could have been cooked longer as the ends were inedible too. Our waiter was very attentive in making sure that we had everything we needed and if it was based on service alone, it would of been a 5 stars, but alas, food was only mediocre, especially for a steakhouse. read more

I will not being going back to this place again. I ordered the filet wrap in bacon Med rare..my steak was med well and tasted like nothing but bacon, my whole steak tasted like bacon not a filet wrap in bacon but every bite tasted like overly bacon flavor, it was like the filet wasn't even there, worst steak ever.. My waiter suggested the Mushrooms said they were the best ever, they were dry over cooked with no juice at all.. I would also rate our service one star.. If you like a good steak and great mushrooms this is not the spot.. read more

Horrible piece of meat. For Christmas I was given two gift cards apparently from Costco for Ruby River steakhouse. We decided tonight to give it a try with really no expectation as neither of us could remember going there for dinner before. There were several parties that had reservations but still our wait time was reasonably short, I believe we were seated within 12-15 minutes of arrival. Our waitress initially was attentive getting our drink order, then appetizer and then our meal order. However, we didn't see much of her after that but again she was also responsible for at least one rather large party. For the appetizer we had deep-fried pickles, this unfortunately was the highlight of the dinner, not pre-made or frozen but fresh quartered pickles battered than fried. The salad was average, our entrée however was horrible, I ordered a 16 ounce ribeye that was approximately 1 1/4 inches thick on one side and just over a quarter inch thick on the other side. It was ordered to be medium rare but on the thin slide it was well done and on the thick side was raw. I did search for an edible bite but the quality of the meet is extremely poor and I believe the worst tasting steak I have ever had. The girlfriend ordered prime rib, medium rare, it was also horrible, resulting in neither of us finishing our entree instead saving it for dog food. read more

I would like to give a shoutout to Tanner. If you go to this restaurant, please ask for him. He has a 5 star personality and provides 5 star service. Ok so the food... AMAZING!!!! Even their wedge salad was amazing. I don't know what was better? The service or the food. This restaurant had me going back to California already planning my next trip back to this restaurant. From fried pickles to the browning onion, prime rib to the sirloin, they do not disappoint. read more

I was actually craving tacos, but the spot I wanted to go to ended up being closed on a Sunday evening. My friend wanted a steak, but we didn't want to break the bank. Decided to finally try this place out. Being a Reno native, I have never been here before. Not really what I was expecting for a restaurant with the word steakhouse in it. It's a step below Outback, IMO. The building and decor inside was outdated, the floors were dirty. The service was decent. Now the food. They brought out bread, which came out warm, but was so bland. I got the coconut shrimp entree with a Caesar salad on the side. I actually did enjoy this dish, the shrimp were a nice size and came with a tasty orange marmalade sauce. My friend got a steak and ribs combo which he said was "pretty ok." We each got a drink as well and I'd say the bill was fair. I'm glad I got to try this place out, but I don't think I would return. read more

The steak here is wonderful and the service is even better.  I visited Ruby River with a group of 6 hungry family members while on vacation and I have to say they serve the best rib-eye in the world.  The salad as the first course was fresh and tasty and the jalapeno popper appetizer I highly recommend.  I had dined here on a trip to Reno back in 2004 and I am pleased to say that the food is still as great as it was back then.  The other members of my group were hesitant to dine here because the unknown when it comes to eating steak can sometimes be scary.  The scary was gone 2 minutes into our dinning experience.  I would highly recommend Ruby River to anyone who wants a memorable dinning experience read more
