    Denver Omelet

    Taking mum to try out new brunch place for her tastebuds. Longer drive to get here, but looks like she did enjoyed her meal and the waitress was great! She was attentive to our orders! Love the oldies style 60-70s feel and the music was amazing with the good old days feeling!

    Stopped by on a blazing hot day at Citadel Outlets when we just needed somewhere with AC to sit and recharge, shopping there really takes it out of you. Ruby's Diner is right by the entrance and main parking lot next to Levi's, super easy to spot. The retro diner vibe is cute, and the service was genuinely friendly, staff were welcoming and attentive without being over the top. Food wise, it is more about comfort than flavor. Everything came out fast, portions were generous and easy to share, but the taste was pretty standard. Overall, it is a convenient, easy spot to cool off, relax, and take a quick break before getting back to shopping.

    Super fast service, basic American food choices and an all time classic shake is enough to want to take a break from window shopping and the like. Ruby's Diner is a staple in most outlets and because of its location, the noise level would depend on the day of the week and/or time of the day. I happen to dine past lunch on a Monday, so everything was quiet. Food was good as always with no fancy grade of beef or chicken. It's hearty comfort food and the best kind when you need energy for more shopping!

    Ruby's Chili - Bowl

    I came into Ruby's Diner after a day of shopping at the Citadel Outlets. I ordered the chili and my boyfriend got the patty melt with fries. I loved the chili was a 10/10 and the patty was also good. I would recommend for a nice bite with good service, especially in the heat since there's AC.

    We came here with a large group of friends and everyone enjoyed the food. I had the apple, walnut and blue cheese salad and it was very good and fresh. It came standard with the balsamic vinaigrette but we asked for ranch on the side, which was so good! The ranch was homemade and fresh, very tasty. Also tried some of the French fries, sweet potato fries, and the grilled cheese. The grilled cheese had some burnt cheese on it and it was delicious. The fries were also pretty good, but a little more on the bland side. The service was a little slow and we felt that the waiter had a little too many folks he was helping. But we did appreciate that he could do each order individually in terms of payment so that was nice.

    I come here a few times a year when I visit the Citadel to get some shopping done during the seasonal sales. The restaurant is always busy but I have never had to wait to get seated. The staff is very efficient and clears tables and cleans them immediately after the guest leaves. I always get the mushroom Swiss burger and upgrade to sweet potato fries. The food comes out super fast and is always fresh and tasty. The price has gone up in the past few years to keep up with inflation but I feel that it's still a pretty good deal. Especially with unlimited fries! Parking is plentiful in the Citadel. Restrooms are surprisingly clean. Staff is friendly. No wonder I eat here every time I go shopping at the Citadel!

    There's nothing too special about this place except that it's the only dine-in table service restaurant at the Citadel. It's a typical 50s diner. 50s decor and red and white booths. The food was fine, nothing to write home about. The Albacore Melt hit the spot, but it wasn't special. Service was fine. It will get the job done if you want burgers and shakes at a sit-down place. Otherwise, you may be better off at the outlet food court.

    Had heard a lot about this place, never been around where one was serving. Until I was in City of Commerce. I was blown away with their service. Everyone was pleasant to talk to, servers came around often to make sure you had everything for your meal. The food came out in record time. By the time we finished ordering our milkshake was already at our table in under 5mins it felt. Where it does lack... is in cleanliness. I might've come after lunch rush so I understand. But the service & food was amazing.

    Getting together with family for a birthday celebration. What better place to meet for fun is the outlet stores. Yes this location is inside the citadel outlet store. Ruby's has a private parking lot just for Ruby's customers which is very easy for parking. They have a one hour parking limit but they will make exemptions for large parties. The staff is friendly and willing to assist. They took great care of our large party. The food was tasty, hot and delicious. Once again great place to meet family. Shop later if you want but move your car

    Seafood Combo
    Shantel S.

    I stopped by Ruby's Diner after shopping at the Citadel Outlets. I ordered the seafood combo with the fried fish and shrimp. The food was very good, the fish and shrimp were crispy and seasoned well . Note the combo does not come with a drink however the large portions make up for it. The service was good and the staff stopped by my table a few times to ensure I had everything I needed. I would recommend to anyone shopping nearby that wants a quick and tasty bite before heading home.

    First time at Ruby's Diner and we just ordered Frings (combination of Fries and Onion rings ($9.49), a kids Vanilla Malt ($5.99) a coffee shake ($7.99) and a Mint Chip Shake ($7.99). We really enjoyed everything. The onion rings were nice and crisp and the fries were average shoe string fries. This is a classic diner with an old Nash Car right behind the Host/Hostess stand. Our server was Brianna and she was great. They have a decent sized menu with salads, burgers, sandwiches and a few other items to choose. We just needed a mid afternoon snack/treat.

    I have never been to the citadel but we had an appointment near by. We were seated right away! Jason was our server and he was attentive and super nice!! Our food came out very quickly and my salad was so fresh and tasty with plenty of Ranch!!

    It was my first time at Ruby's Diner, and I went there with my sister three weeks ago. I ordered the bacon burger, and it was delicious. The Oreo milkshake was also amazing smooth, creamy, and definitely a must-have with your meal. I would gladly come back again!

One friend told me she's been bringing her kids here since they were little, and another said he's been coming here forever. The place is small and cozy -- only a couple of four-top tables, a few two-seaters, and an old-school counter bar setup. I happened to get one of the larger tables at the right time. The breakfast portions were hearty and really good, and my little one loved the pancakes. I noticed a lot of regulars ordering lunch too, so I'd definitely come back to try that next.

Didn't realize until after we ordered that the lady didn't even ask us if we wanted hash browns or homes fries. Either way, we didn't have an option so home fries were given to us. In the end, the home fries were good but I also love me some hash browns. Also, my husband prefers over easy eggs and unfortunately the yolk was too runny. Overall, it's a cozy lil cafe for the locals. Food was good. Def would come back.

Bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, oatmeal, parfaits, fresh fruit, and even a waffle station is ready for you to enjoy. The layout of the buffet lays in one strip so things can get a bit traffic-y with the flow of people moving about but patience goes a long way when required. 5/5 stars for the entire visit but a special shoutout goes to Eunice. Apologies for this review being written/posted late. Thank you for being the sweetest soul, eager to take on requests, and doing everything with a beautiful smile. Thank you for acknowledging my little monster and surprising her with a little treat to entertain herself- you truly made our visit so memorable.

It's a cavernous space which is quite noisy when very many tables are occupied. Dishes are brought out by a cute robot (which also plays "Happy Birthday") with the staff actually serving the items. Again, the robot was less than pristine. The food was pedestrian. Most of the items did not have a "home made" look or taste. The house sauce was on many things and was unremarkable. Some items were close to inedible: as an example, in an order of chicken parmesan, the chicken was very thin, tough, and stringy, and the coating was overcooked. Interestingly, it was served with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots instead of pasta. In a final negative note, a 3% "Restaurant Management Fee" was added to the bill. None of our party can recall any mention of that before the bill was presented. Not a place we will return to.

It's pretty dark inside so it does give romantic vibes, but it is definitely good for date night our a big party celebration. For my food, I got the chicken breast with salad and baked potato, and it was definitely good. My baked potato was very hot and freshly made and my chicken breast was tender. Also, the complementary bread was off the hook. Though I did give up on bread cause I am trying to watch my figure. I had to try a small bite and it was very delicious. My meal came with a complementary spaghetti so I was very happy about that. The service was decent. I felt like our server. Maria was going pretty fast, but she did too good with getting all our orders right. Also, the managers were very nice and attentive. They do a lot of performances here and events. I would definitely come back here when they have a performer that I like perform. They also do parties here. They have a very nice banquet hall and they do packages literally for everything birthdays, weddings, funerals, and so much more. This place is very popular in a staple in the city of commerce. I highly do recommend coming here to have a very nice time with elite entertainment and food with reasonable prices. Furthermore, they have so much variety of food for everyone.
