We stopped in for breakfast on Sunday morning after we arrived in Missoula the night before. There was a short wait (20-25 minutes), but it was worth the wait. Food was good with a large selection to choose from. The gravy biscuits were actually pretty decent considering we are from the south and we are slightly snobby about southern cuisine in places other than the south! The wait staff was great and very attentive. I'd definitely visit again if I'm in the area. read more

Great food & service. Fun diner atmosphere. Good prices. Expect a limited wait, but well worth it, as it is a popular place! Our breakfasts were very good. When we are in Missoula again, we will have breakfast at Ruby's Cafe! read more

Very nice diner everybody was really attentive. Breakfast is nothing out of the ordinary, but it was nice and fresh. Their coffee was pretty good. Their biscuit was huge and sweet, which was surprisingly good. The vegan chipotle sausage was actually pretty awesome a little bit of a kick, but really good especially for someone like me with stomach issues that cannot have a specific meats. Great atmosphere very welcoming. read more

This is reminiscent of the 1970s dinner with the clientele a mix of the retired and teenager looking for a coffee and burger. The restaurant is clean, with tables cleaned quickly and the decor a mix of watercolors and posters all reminding you that you're in Montana. The burger was good, and the fries hand cut and a bit thick - which is my favorite. No complaints! read more

Friendly receptionist and waitress! Very attentive! Excellent omelette, best we remember ever enjoying! Will come back on our next trip through Missoula! read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. These guys are very busy, but run a very streamlined and efficient operation. It is surprising how quickly orders are taken and food reaches the table in around 5 minutes or less. It is quite impressive how well they do, while having great attitudes! Best of Missoula! read more

The breakfast was very good, service was excellent. We also loved the homey feel of the cafe.

Horrible treatment. Walked in and was told the wait for a table was 10 min. Chose to sit at the counter and was told I couldn't sit there because I walked in with a lady. Been stopping here for 7 years, but never again. Young man with glasses can be thanked for the bad service. read more

Old school Classic Diner! Yellowstone Was Filmed Here! Amazing food! Service really good :) read more

I love this place because it's just good old fashioned diner food. It's comfort food at its best and I haven't had anything there I haven't liked. Plus Yellowstone was filmed here, so that's gotta count for something. read more

Meet with a group of guys here on Fridays and it's always a pleasant experience. Good fast dinner food. Amanda our server is amazing!

The place is clean and for the most part was quiet we went on Veterans Day and was not busy at all. Got the creek salad but to many foo foo greens would have liked more salad. Other than that not too bad. May want to remember real silverware and not have disposable at dine in. read more

Love this place. My wife and I split the Ruby special breakfast. Scrambled eggs, 2 link sausage, hashbrowns, 1 pancake and coffee for $12. Food was great, service was great and the ambiance is so cool. Recommended read more

My first time visiting Montana, and I tried Ruby's. (I then returned again the next day lol) Let me say this first, the people, the people, the people made me fall in love with this place. The food is AMAZING which will make you like a place but mix that with great people and it's a wrap! I will always come to Ruby's when I'm in Montana. There is a parking lot and a few surrounding lots as well as street parking. The vibe inside is like "hometown family" warmth and love. I definitely recommend Ruby's Cafe! read more

Ruby's Cafe - Chicken Cordon Blue Skillet - Diners Near Me - Missoula, Montana

I stopped here on my way to Coeur d'Alene and was very happy. I got eggs, hashbrowns, wheat toast, and the chipotle veggie sausage. The sausage was flavorful and had a nice texture, especially for a plant-based item. There were also many hot sauces to try which makes me happy as a heat queen. Service was quick and friendly. I would visit this place regularly if I lived in Missoula. read more

If you're on a road trip, this is a great place to stop. If you're going past Missouri they offer really good burgers cooked to perfection. A large amount of fries and warm personalities of the wait staff. The prices are fantastic. It doesn't take long to get served it's a fantastic little place to go that's been around for decades. read more

Atmosphere is very Montana. It'll transform you back in time to an old time cafe. Very cute and rustic. Ordered the Firehouse Burger with green chile, pepper jack, and bacon. The green chile gives it a taste of mild heat and is very good. Service is friendly, fast, and tends to your needs nicely. The milkshakes come in classic glasses and my kids loved it. read more

Ruby's Cafe - Vanilla milkshake with whip cream on top. - Diners Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Visited Missoula and checked out Ruby's and it didn't disappoint. My omelette was great and the sausage gravy was top notch imo.

Amazing breakfast, friendly and fast service, parking lot full of trucks so we knew it was good if the ranchers ate there, would go again for sure..... read more

Great Food and Service. I really enjoyed the vegetarian chorizo sausage. Portions are large and prices are competitive.

This place hasn't changed their decor in years, yet that's what I love MOST about it, besides their food. This is one of those places that you see in those romance movies, where the guy walks into a little diner and instantly falls in love with the waitress. Ruby's is exactly that place.....other than the fact that most of their waitresses are age 60 and above. With that being said, the service is always great, the food is always delicious, and the portions are big. They have raised their prices but that has not stopped us from dining there. I really hope they don't do any renovating for years to come, because their retro diner style is part of what makes them Ruby's. Don't be fooled by the less than appealing store-front. Inside, you will be more than pleased and will leave feeling full and satisfied. read more

Biscuits and gravy + service. Biscuit was very dense. Gravy was ok. I added two links which they wanted to deep fry. I asked to be cooked on grill which they did. Waitress said sometimes try will do it if not busy. Well why not all the time? You are a restaurant are you not? Deep frying link sausage is the easy way out and gross. My single egg asked for medium and it came barely cooked. read more

I love the old diner feel of this place! I usually go early and you can always find the local regulars sitting at the bar having their coffee. The wait staff are so nice and always make sure coffee cups are full! Portions are big and food is great. read more

Ruby's Cafe - Breakfast Meat & Eggs - Diners Near Me - Missoula, Montana

wow, the place was packed with standing room only waiting on a rainy Monday at 10:30am. They took our phone number so we could wait in our car out of the rain and in 20 min (expected 30min) called us in. Service was spot on with recos. I had the chicken cordon blue skillet--it was excellent-the ham was "real" with just the right amount of cheese and hollandaise sauce. My son and I also tested out their biscuits and gravy--very good--lots of sausage and not too salty and biscuit very good. He had the farmers skillet which he has had many times before so he obviously loves it. Wife got brown veggie/eggs without the hash browns and liked it very much. read more

Best place to eat in town. Food is excellent, staff is very very friendly. I will go to Missoula just to go to Ruby's! Very highly recommend! I will drive 10 hours just to eat there and I have. Cause I love road trips read more

First time here. Very nice atmosphere and service. We had a French toast breakfast and taco salad. I only docked a star because of the prices. 40.00 for these two. I couldn't believe it. read more

Old fashioned food, service, and ambience. My favorite is their liver and onions, but their handmade biscuits and sausage gravy come in a close second. Their spectacular selection of pies provides a delicious conundrum at desert time! read more

Solid cafe. I got the western omelet and a pancake. Sat at the bar. Locals all over. Will be returning!

I had the Ruby's breakfast special. 2 medium eggs which were perfect, 2 bacon strips which were only OK, oily hashbrowns, and a nice pancake. For about $11 it was A OK. Included good coffee too! The service sitting at the counter was outstanding. I will try them again and maybe get an omelet. I saw one being served and it looked good. read more

The only best cafe in Missoula. Hard to find good restaurants here, but Ruby's is an oasis with consistently good food and terrific friendly efficient service (not a given in most local places). Great soups, good all day breakfast options - well crafted omelets and generous skillet options. You can't beat a Ruby's cheeseburger and fries although the Ruby's beef dip is also scrumptious and very important to me, good coffee. My husband and I go twice a week. As restaurant gems go, it has become more crowded each year with a wait sometimes, but it's worth it. Hang around. You will feel better after you go to Ruby's. We always do. The only thing we will miss when we leave Missoula is Ruby's and the warm and wonderful staff! *If you are used to City places with late night hours, this is not it- get there before they close at 3:00 or 4:00. read more

Nice folks here but this place came highly recommended and failed to deliver the quality that we were lead to expect. Like any old roadside diner, Ruby's has got history etched into the walls. This is the feeding trough for the local retired and blue collar community. Typical American diner fare and if you're hungry enough, it may suffice however we travel all over the country and I'm disappointed to say that the food anywhere in Montana has been the worst we've had anywhere. So far we've tried three different places in MT and have not been impressed with any of them and one is a huge tourist attraction! Ruby's has that feel ya know? That weathered the storm and still here kind of feel. That everyone in here knows each other and you're the funny looking stranger feel. The coffee was hot but our food was seriously lacking in not only flavor but also quality ingredients. My omelet had american slices melted over the top and our side of mushrooms came cold dumped right from the can into a ramekin. I'm pretty sure that I already wrote this review but yelp requested that I review it and my last one is gone. Seems like the ownership or at least the management is taking down reviews to save face? How about increase the quality of the food? Shady practices make me even more unwilling to give places a second chance. Maybe I'm just some foodie snob from the PNW but bad is bad no matter where you go. If anyone wants to recommend some good eats in or near Missoula, please shoot me a message. If you own or work at Ruby's and this review offends you then maybe you something at Ruby's should change. Cheers! read more

Good food, cool wait staff, great atmosphere. It was crowded, so there was a 30 minute wait, but it was worth it.

Wonderful service and great food. Highly recommend. It is a very homey and comfortable. Definitely will be back.

Awesome diner! We were driving by and the classic diner vibe lured us in. Friendly customers, wonderful service,excellent food. Biscuits and gravy were the highlight for my husband. read more

Old style diner with dated décor and a straightforward, comfort food menu... just my style. This place fell short of "repeat visit status" for us. We had a French toast breakfast and a half order of biscuits and gravy with sausage links. --- The Good... - Eggs- Cooked as ordered. - Bacon- Thinnest slices we have ever encountered, but very tasty. - Biscuits- Hefty, flaky, and a great foundation for the white gravy. - Hash browns- Plentiful and properly crisped. ---The Not-So-Good... - The sausage gravy- very bland with barely any sausage flavor. Hot sauce helped a little. - French toast was run of the mill, thin cut sandwich bread that looked a little anemic (see photo). - Link sausage- Pre-cooked and rewarmed... you know, wrinkled and clearly not fresh. Bottom line, the service was friendly and prompt, the price reasonable, but better breakfasts are to be had in Missoula. read more
