We order from this location often, and it's usually great, but this is disgusting. Ordered the full rack of ribs and it came looking like this, with just two big bones, half fat and half meat that had fallen off the two bones. Was not edible.

Ruby Tuesday. Such a blast from my past! It's a franchise. The only Ruby Tuesday that I had ever been to before this visit was at the Mall of America years ago. I loved it so much. I returned to MOA earlier this year and it was gone. Noooo! In Nashville, I saw two of these restaurants. This one was the second-closest one from where I was staying. It was across from the Starbucks cafe that became my go-to beverage place, and a Dollar Tree that I enjoyed frequenting. I parked smack in the middle of all three businesses, under a tree. I walked into the eatery. For those who demand being greeted immediately upon entering an eatery, you will likely give this place a poor rating for service. I am probably far too patient than I should be. I stood there waiting for someone to greet me for a good eight minutes. Finally, a man came over and apologized. They were short-staffed. I could tell. All servers were walking quickly. It was a Saturday afternoon. It was an easygoing day for me. I had all the time in the world. Ah, how I miss being on vacation! He took my name down and said that the wait would be between five to ten minutes. I sat on a comfy bench between the two sets of main doors. For those who remember Ponderosa (I never went to one in Canada, but did on a road trip through New York state a few years back, heading back home), Ruby Tuesday is similar. It has a salad bar. You add that to your meal and you can load up your plate as much as you'd like. A nice woman fetched me and eventually led me to my booth. She would end up being my server. I immediately hit the salad bar after letting her know that I'd be getting the endless garden (salad) bar with a drink for $5. The salad bar was great. There were lots of veggies and some proteins (cooked egg and ham). One boy loaded his plate up with a few leafy greens and a mountain of ham, which made me smile. I loved my plate of salad, especially the beets. I got a Diet Coke as my drink. My server was attentive refilling it. I ordered the Texas duster dry ribs (half a rack) and sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I was hungry. A combination of ribs and steak intrigued me and my tastebuds. It didn't take long for my food to arrive. I was happy looking at everything. The Texas duster dry ribs were delicious. They were so tender and had the best dry rub that I have had on ribs in a long time. My sirloin was done medium-well. Yum! It was nicely seasoned and cooked as indicated. I loved it. I found the mashed potatoes comforting. The broccoli was perfectly done. Not hard. Not mushy. Just right. I miss this entree. I'm salivating. I want it for dinner now! Although I came here a day before my birthday, I celebrated early by getting the chocolate lava cake. It also didn't take all that long to come to me. The cake was moist. Sadly, the volcano of chocolate was dormant and there was no lava. I don't know if it's because Nashville was super hot that lava doesn't exist or the place simply didn't do it right with this lava cake. It still tasted good. I loved the vanilla ice cream with the crunchy chocolate bits on top of my cake. Delish! I paid with a credit card at my table. I tipped and tapped. It was a smooth transaction. Pack your patience coming here on weekends. I had a great meal and experience once I got a server. (315)

Grilled Chicken Carbonara
Beth L.

I've been to this location several times. Each visit is always on a Saturday and they're always few people. There's always the one server being the hostess and waiting in the entire restaurant. (Which obviously isn't an issue since it's so dead) Grilled chicken carbonara was delicious. Salmon salad bowl good. It's a little spicy. The best part of the salad bar is the croutons. I love Ruby Tuesday's salad bar. Some of the lettuce was brown. Make sure you stick with the arugula. It always seems to be the most fresh. A few of the ingredients probably shouldn't be in the bar ask they're a little past "expiration". Some of the ingredients just are not as fresh as they should be. I was pretty pissed about the coconut shrimp appetizer. $12.99 and you get 5 pieces. FIVE! It wasn't specific in the menu and I probably should have asked. On top of that, they where pretty mushy and not very tasty.

The was good besides one thing. It did not have enough meat on them. I ordered 2 quesadillas one with chicken and one with ribeye. Half on each quesadilla had like one maybe two pieces of meat.. Called to complain but there is no answer. I just left there and it wasn't busy. The service was okay slow but the bartender was polite. The restaurant was clean.

Due to illness I have been in and out of the hospital for the last several months. Friday, May 3rd was my first time out with friends since before Christmas. I am 70 yrs of age and was with two other senior ladies. We had made special plans to go to Ruby Tuesday on Murfreesboro Pike in the Antioch area, Nashville TN 37217. Two of us arrived and I explained to the lady that seated us, there would be another handicapped senior joining us. She was pleasant, always has been. The server plopped 3 waters on the table and walked away. There was no greeting, no name, just a bored look on his face. We wanted to go ahead and order fish and chips for the three of us knowing the service from the kitchen is usually slow. I'mWe needed to be ready for our handicapped bus to pick us up. The guy who dropped off the waters was passing by and I asked him to please let our server know we needed to order. "I AM YOUR SERVER!", he responded shrilly. Then he walked on and made extreme efforts to let me know he was ignoring our table. I stood up and waved at him and he kept seating and getting drinks, orders, and delivering food. We were the first customers seated in his section and others after us were now eating and drinking. Finally we decided we would get our fish and chips to go. I waited at the hostess post and when the young man passed I asked him to put in three separate orders for fish and chips to go. He informed me that I would have to go to the bar. I asked to see the manager. A woman informed me she was the manager. She did not want to hear anything and huffed and rolled her eyes. There was not a cordial bone in the manager and no front of the house training. Her responses to everything I said were actually REACTIONS and combative. I was working diligently to not sink to her level. Finally she said she would cook our food in record time. I turned to sit on my walker and my friend came up to check on me. Our to go fish and chips were finally ready and we had 15 minutes before the handicapped bus arrived. I was speaking to my friend and I mentioned how disappointing our experience was turning out to be. I said that I felt I had been discriminated against because of my age and handicap. The manager? (later I found out her name is Victoria) screeches, " I WILL HAVE YOU REMOVED. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO COME IN HERE AND MAKE TROUBLE ". I am 4ft 10in and tiny. Since I am ill my clothes hang on me and at 70 this mannerless woman is threatening to have me removed. Wow! I told her to keep the food and to know that I would report the experience to the GM JEFF and she replied that she didn't care who I contacted. And I understood at that moment that she really did not care. Then she said, "If you were used to going to sit down restaurants you would know that you have to wait for everyone to be seated to get service, including greetings. This rude woman was insulting me as bullies do. Never was there a kind word or any empathy coming from this Ruby Tuesday representative. We went back to the table and drank our water. We found our bus in the parking lot and left. My heart ached for my friends and myself for the lack of respect. We had been PROFILED. We were looked at as three old women and no tips. How wrong the profile turned out to be. We are three older ladies with an understanding that even if the service is not great, we TIP 20% to 25%. This is a pact between friends because we've waited tables and managed restaurants. This used to be my favorite place. I've not been in the past 14 months. I wish I had never returned. Thank you for listening. I've cried often this weekend but now I feel better. Deb Pardue P.S. Check out the BBB for more reviews.

My parents are visiting America for the very first time -- literally their first time outside China -- and I wanted to take them somewhere that felt truly local, not a chain restaurant or tourist spot. Get Your Grub On was exactly that kind of place. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. You can immediately feel that this is real homemade cooking -- not "corporate restaurant food." Watching him work in the kitchen and smelling the food coming out fresh honestly made the whole place feel like a true American Southern "farmhouse/local comfort food" experience. We ordered the fried chicken, catfish trio, and chicken pasta. The fried chicken was AMAZING: * perfectly crispy outside * juicy inside * smelled incredible the moment it came out But the real surprise was the catfish. It was unbelievably tender -- literally melt-in-your-mouth soft while still fresh and flavorful. Easily some of the best catfish I've ever had. Portion sizes were HUGE too. Three people ate for around $70 and we were completely full. Yes, the seasoning is definitely Southern-style and a bit salty for some Asian tastes, but even my parents -- who are completely Chinese and very familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine -- still genuinely enjoyed the food and kept talking about how good and unique the experience was. That says a lot. This place feels like the kind of hidden local restaurant that makes traveling meaningful. Not fancy. Not trendy. Just real people making real food with heart. Highly recommended if you want authentic local Southern comfort food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.

They have performers several times a week that are always fun, and for Halloween, they had pumpkin carving/painting. Just overall a great place to grab a beer, have some good food and chill out. Great happy hour from 3-7, and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! If you haven't gone to Phat Bites you're missing out.
