So, me and my family came here to eat. The service is nice and the servers are friendly. I just have a small problem. I placed an order for the Fried Catfish and fries, and when the food was served, I was given Fish and Chips instead. Regardless, I was given my correct order, so no harm was done. The food was delicious, and the raspberry lemonade was a great balance between sweet and tart. read more

Service was atrocious at the bar. Food was overcooked as it sat under heat lamps for at least extra 30 minutes

Pretty good place. It wasn't very busy when I got here, but they for some reason were seating almost everyone at the bar or in the tables immediately surrounding the bar. Which isn't a big deal however it made things really really busy for the seemingly 1 person working that area PLUS the bar! She was working very hard but was just constantly under an avalanche so it did take probably over an hour from the time I was seated (no wait at all) to the time I walked out. Again not a big deal as o had nothing going on and brought a book with me so I was plenty entertained. I got hickory bourbon glazed salmon and the endless salad bar added on. I liked the salad bar option, it had several choices but NOTHING was labeled. Okay fine I can identify a tomato and a cucumber and pasta salad. However I couldn't identify the 10 different salad dressings which was a pain. I had to just lick each spoon and go by taste. KIDDING!!!! I stuck my finger in. read more

Sit back folks. This was a nightmare! We came to celebrate a relative's birthday! (Happy Birthday M!). This restaurant has plenty of parking. The dining area is large and clean but cold both in looks and temperature. The hostesses were confused about giving us a table vs a booth. We were a party of six and they couldn't understand we'd be more comfortable at a table. Then the wait started. We waited almost 15 minutes before a waiter came over. And that was with me trying to find someone to help us (while the restaurant was barely 10% occupied). We eventually ordered sodas, burgers, fish and chips and a fried mushroom appetizer. And of course, we added the salad bar. Now if you read my past reviews you know I despise salad bars. But, when in Rome.....Now, the drink order of soft drinks took 10 minutes to come out. 6 people. 2 straws. That math doesn't add up. An additional 5 minutes for more straws. The salad bar was relatively clean but not completely refreshed and full. Typical salad bar, but maybe needed maintenance to keep the utensils and ingredients up to par. Then the food arrived- well not all the food...The appetizer was missing...The fish and chips were missing...The burgers came out at different times...I had to find the ketchup hidden behind a counter myself because I couldn't find the waiter. Then after asking twice more and waiting an additional 15 minutes- The waiter came over and said the appetizer and fish and chips would be delayed because the kitchen was backed up. There were literally maybe 5 tables sat in this very large restaurant. The place was empty. I cancelled the fish and chips and appetizer because most of my group were 3/4 done with their food. I just asked for drink refills. Ten minutes later we see the waiter talking to another table. I reminded him to bring the refills and he said yes. Another 10 minutes. No drinks. No waiter. I went up to the hostess and asked for the manager. She was very understanding. She said first she's going to get the drinks over. 10 minutes later our waiter appears with 3 glasses of water. I reminded him about the sodas. Several minutes later they appeared. About 15 minutes later the manager came to the table with all the missing food and told us we would not be charged for the missed dishes. (She didn't charge us and even gave us a discount on the bill). We asked our waiter for the check. He literally stood next to me waiting for me to look at the check and pay. It was so odd. I told him I needed a few minutes. Then it took quite awhile to find him to pay. This was a mess. They didn't clear the plates from the salad bar or the empty glasses from our table the entire time. It was a mess. Now the food. The burger was very good. The tater tots were undercooked. The Mac and Cheese seemed to be satisfying to one of my guests. The fish and chips were greasy and the fries were cold. Despite all this, we had a great time because our family hanging out together can out-weigh even one of the worst served meals out there. Unfortunately, while okay, the food wasn't that good to make up for it. Clear to say....I won't be back! read more

Oh I so love making my own salad! The croutons were divine and all was well organized and fresh. Clean restaurant and my potato soup was served at perfect warmth. I also had the Wildberry tea and I could have drank a bucket, it was so good. Service was just proper, but my table was dirty from party prior. (I'm sure it was just an oversight). Overall, a good experience. read more

Not recommended. Sat at the bar, unbelievably slow with only a handful of people in the restaurant. Ordered a "new" shrimp platter item on the menu to go. I get the food about 40 mins later and what they bring is the size of a kids meal. A $28 kids meal. I bring it to the attention of the bartender. He agrees the portion is absurdly small and takes it. It takes nearly 20 more mins for someone to ask why the food was there and get a proper order. The manager said they made the wrong order. Yeah, the menu says a "full pound of shrimp", what they originally brought was 6. Total of six peices of small shrimp. $28. Finally with the proper food, I ask for the check. More waiting. Get the check, now more waiting to pay. Due to the constant waiting, by the time I cross the street, the food is cold and soggy. Stayed nearby. It was the closest walkable restaurant. Someone at the same hotel actually told me how bad the restaurant was when he went earlier in the week. It was raining that day and I figured how bad could be? It was THAT bad. Take his and my advice. Dont go. read more

We ordered the seafood pasta, half rack of ribs, and iced tea. The food was good and we enjoyed it. However, service was very slow. It took about 30 minutes to get a drink refill, and when we arrived, there was no server at the front. Our server took a long time to check back with us, even though there were only about four tables occupied. read more

Terrible wait here. Food took 45 minutes for appetizers. Don't eat here. I don't think I will come back

I tried to go there today for their Wednesday lunch unlimited salad bar. I was greeted and seated right as we arrived. After being seated, we looked over the menu and then waited 5-10 minutes. The place was empty and yet no server in sight. We then left. read more

I saw an awesome weekly $7 burger deal and had to try out Ruby Tuesday for the first time - and it surpassed my expectations. I went to the Elizabeth, NJ location near the Mills Mall, and I thought it would be just like Ihop or Denny's, but more expensive. To my surprise, the restaurant was modern and clean - it seemed newly renovated and unlike the old photos from many old reviews. And even though there were only 2 servers, our waitress was upfront about them being short-handed immediately - which many servers won't admit to - and was very nice throughout our visit. She also pointed out that the other server was her manager, whom I applaud for helping out. As for the deals, quite a few stood out: They had an unlimited salad bar addon for $6 Daily specials including Burger specials on Tuesdays for $7 $3-$6 Daily Drink Deals for wines and cocktails They also had an unlimited fountain drink option for around $4! I had the smashburger and the fish burger and both were great - the beef burger won though. The fries and tater tots were also very good and seasoned perfectly. Lastly, this Elizabeth NJ location is right across the street from The Mills Mall. So, it's a good option if the mall restaurants are packed or good deals are hard to find. Overall, I'm kind of upset that I didn't try out Ruby Tuesdays sooner. It's one the top of my list now when it comes to chain diners! read more

I was at Ruby Tuesday a week ago. Our waitress was wonderful, however the food left much to be desired. The restaurant was not very busy and yet we had to wait for a table. It was colder in the restaurant than outside. It's a shame that we paid almost $100 for food that was not edible. I asked for the manager and she was not helpful at all. We were extremely disappointed and ended up going for pizza. We will NEVER return there. read more

This is my first time ever at a Ruby Tuesday. I'll start first with the service. The first two people to greet us were really nice. I asked if we could sit at the bar area and they said "definitely". Place looks inviting, especially the bar area. This is where it went a little south. We found a table to sit and waited approximately 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. I thought about leaving, but the waiter that came apologized for the wait. He was very courteous and helpful. The food was pretty good. We had the American Smashed Burger and Crispy Chicken Tenders. Our waiter, Jason, made it from a one star visit to a 3 star one. read more

If I could give zero I would! That Sh!t was nasty. The crispy chicken sandwich was on a hoagie and looked over cooked and sloppy made. Fries were cold. The bartender girl has an attitude and it took like 30 min to make that half dead meal! Then! I could hear rap music coming from the kitchen and I swear it was only one person working back there. They may as well close down. Beyond disgusting! read more

Service still sucks. Wait is long to get a drink at the bar. Bartenders don't have a good flow. I sat for :15 with an empty glass and the female bartender looked at me and my empty glass at least 2 times with no recognition. Person sitting next to me (an elderly gentleman) had the same problem. The only thing they have going for them is that they are close to hotels. Otherwise avoid. read more

I'm surprised by all the reviews because I had a great time and everyone around us seemed to enjoy their food as well. Our server was very nice and everything came out very quickly.

Best meal and service I have had in a very long time! The food was scrumptious upon many. Would 100% recommend!

If you're ever in a layover from Newark or a cancelled/delayed flight. Chances are the hotel will be in the Elizabeth town area which is close to the airport. There's a mall but close by there's an ihop and a Ruby Tuesday's. Now, it's been ages since I've stepped foot into one but have been here twice over the last few months. I had remembered our server from the first time Nehemi and had the pleasure of seeing him again today. He's wonderful, checks up on us timely, and tells is straight when it comes to the food. The food is surprisingly tasty and have had the chicken, ribs, and onion rings. Definitely would come back and they got a veggie burger for you veggies out there. Revamped menu that you need to check it out. Thanks Nehemi! read more

Manager Reggie on sight was very rude. Made me take my meal to go because he didn't want to stay longer. Very rude and very unprofessional of him. Scolded my waiter for taking my order, If you don't want someone ordering at @10 then close your kitchen and you're doors @10 why even close @11 if costumers can't enjoy a dine in for the remaining hour horrible service from management. read more

Ther server and the person she was training was very short with her responses and rude. I asked the server for some ranch dressing to have with my fries. She said it was a dollar and I said ok. Some time went by and she never brought the dressing. I finally ask her "Do I need to get the ranch dressing myself from the bar" She responds back rudely "You can't go up there!" I let her know that I had asked for the ranch and you didnt bring it. She said when I told you it was a dollar you said you didn't want it. Then I told her no I said ok. By the time she finally brought the ranch I had finished my sandwich and my loaded fries were cold. I won't be back! read more

Host, Manager and food were fine, but when you have a server with an attitude- it ruins your experience. We were told with every entree - you get a free kids meal and salad bar was free for them too- first run in- when asking about the salad bar- server said No it's not free -with attitude. Ok not a problem...when placing our order- one of the kids wanted to add the salad bar- she said I don't take that now- I take it at the end (but she never did). When two boys received their cokes- both said it tastes like Dr Pepper. I let the server know and her response was- it's coke- I poured it myself (with an attitude). I told her- no it's not coke- I tasted it. She grabbed the kid cups with an attitude. The manager brought out the new drinks (these were coke)- explained the situation and he said he'd address- I asked that it not addressed until we left. The food was taking a long time- when asked how much longer- her response- it will be out! At no time did she ask if we needed anything or how things were once we finally received our food. When we were finishing up- she slapped the check beside me- never said a word. Manager had to process our checks! read more

We've eaten at this Ruby Tuesday more than once. It's very close to the hotel where we stay when we are in Elizabeth plus our grandkids and their Dad really like coming here. Every time we've been here, we've gotten good service. This recent visit to the area, we had the same server both times we went. Nehemiah was his name and he did a great job plus we all liked his sense of humor. All that said, Ruby Tuesday's food is "A-Ok". One thing I do wish is that their portions weren't so big. I really don't need two pieces of chicken in my meal, one is just enough. Sometimes the veggie sides are better than the main course. Not that the main course is bad, it's more like it's nothing to write home about it. I finally figured out that the best way to have a light meal here is to order the salad bar and some soup. The salad bar has a decent selection plus a worker stands by waiting to refill items and wipe up any spills. That's what we had at our most recent meal here. I had broccoli and cheese soup while my husband had garden vegetable soup. His soup did smell delicious. They have some nice flavored lemonades. I had the raspberry lemonade and one day someone took the time to muddle some raspberries in it which amped up the flavor. Getting 2 salad bar and soup meals plus soft drinks cost almost $40. Still, it was cheaper than buying full meals. No doubt we'll eat here again next time we're in town. This last visit when Winter Storm Ezekiel caught us by surprise, it was really convenient to have this restaurant close to the hotel. It's also right across the street from Jersey Gardens for those who want a meal after a day of shopping. read more

Food was standard Ruby Tuesday food, BUT, the best part was the service provided by my server, Claudia. From the moment I sat down, Claudia made sure I felt like I was dining at her own home. She made me feel welcome, answered any and all questions with a smile on her face and made sure my drinks were always full. Her smile and friendly demeanour resonated on me and made me feel good! I would definitely come back thanks to Claudia! read more

So I had a coupon for a free appetizer so I stopped in. When I arrived I parked in their lot. I walked in and asked if I could sit at the bar, which I did. I was served by a great bartender named Mike. He was very nice and attentive. For my drink I orderd 2 happy hour drinks of the ruby relaxer and the margarita. Both were good but mainly the ruby relaxer. For my appetizer I got the spicy shrimp and that was pretty good. With the happy hour discount I only paid about $9. I had a good experience. read more

Listen, all I can say is.. Our servers name was Yasin.. & his service was HORRIBLE!!!! I can't even type everything on here, so I added screenshots of my story Because trust me..... I have A LOT TO SAY. My boyfriend and i came here after visiting someone at the hospital. And listen, out of all places we've visited, we NEVER had this problem. We ( he LOL ) , always leave a generous tip... He've seen me work nightlife ,and while I was waitressing. He understands what I come from , and because of that.. he ALWAYS makes it an effort to show EXTRA love to our waitress/ waiter... he'll even try to cheer them up when he thinks they're having a bad day. Through the moment we walked in , up until we left. Our service was unacceptable, like who tf is running this chain ? The host wasn't even at her stand when we walked in, but when we did walk in, we did see one of the staff members , standing by the booth. He then proceeds to look at my boyfriend and I, and ask," table for two? "... We say, yes. He then proceeds to tell my boyfriend, " oh okay, well the host isn't here and you gotta wait to be seated. " SO THEN WHY ASK US ?! NOT ONLY THAT. HE JUST STOOD THERE UNTIL SHE CAME BACK. Like, you couldn't be THAT lazy to the point all you did was turn around to see where she's at and not even try to grab her?!? To be honest. If I was him, I would've told the customers, " hey you said table for 2 ? No problem, I'll go ahead and grab the host/ess for you guys right now. I'm just a waiter/ess , I'm not allowed to seat you guys". But no. I found the three of us just staring into space looking for her. Anyway , she comes and we get seated. ( she was very sweet ) A short moments later , that's when we met Yasin ... our waiter. This man right here ??? Seriously needs to take his work ethic somewhere else. Off rip , you can tell this man didn't want to deal with NOTHING. We came around 8:30-40PM.. you can definitely tell , he just wanted to get our order and get us over with... ( mind you , it looked like we were his ONLY table! We WERE his only table.... chile , ) We tried ordering our drinks & boom, I forgot my ID. I had two forms electronically for verification of my age, he didn't take it . To be honest, there is no way in H E L L , my boyfriend and I , look THAT young for us to be carded. Like seriously, you can definitely tell we're older than 21, I lowkey took that as a compliment but seriously guy? I legit can't even wrap my head around that. Me personally, I think he just wanted to be nosey to see how old my boyfriend really was ... BTW . I WAS PERFECTLY FINE , I do not care about being able not to buy drinks. At least he did SOME type of his job description right.. but again. Didn't even Try to work with us and he wants to introduce the lemonades like we're damn kids. I legit just ended up getting a sprite. And my bf got Dr Pepper or something. After he asks about our drinks , he didn't even go get them! He just goes straight into asking what we wanted for the entrees. Like can we get our DRINKS first ?! Can we have TIME to decide what we want ? He didn't even ask if we wanted appetizers, just straight asked " what can I get you guys for entrees ? " like, alright Yasin, what if we wanted apps ? The last time I ate at a Ruby Tuesday , was when I worked at one ( back in 2016) and my BF hasn't ate at one since a few years ago. We legit were NOT familiar with the menu. We didn't know what to order , We kinda just ordered the first thing we saw. I asked for extra pickles with my chicken sandwich .. ( ultimate chicken sandwich & My bf got the loaded guac smashed burger with loaded tots. ) Instead of trying to rush us out , on a SLOW MONDAY. Why don't you focus on the actual customers he did actually have. first of all , we had to wait FOR HIM TO PUT IN THE ORDER FOR US TO GET OUR DRINKS. What type of job training has he done ? like really ? Are you foreal ? We legit sat there and waited 10-15 minutes for our drinks. Until HE was done placing our order. read more
