    Half Fresh Roast Turkey Breast Sandwich with cranberry sauce
    Sandra M.

    One of my favorite places to go in CDM. I love the food , service hosts and ambience that this place offers. I had the cranberry sauce turkey sandwich with French fries and it was amazingly delicious. It's like Thanksgiving Day dinner and just love this sandwich. The hostess Faith was pleasantly welcoming and very friendly and attentive. I got my drinks and food pretty fast. Eric the other server had a great personality and all the team at this location is amazing. They all work well together and thank you for being friendly. So if you are in the CDM area or cruising around PCH definitely a great place to get a shake with some yummy fries... love it and definitely a two thumbs up on my book !!!

    One of our favorite places to have breakfast in Newport Beach. Easy access with plenty of parking on Pacific Coast Highway. We love to split one of their Very Big Breakfasts. 3 eggs, ham and sausage, hash browns and toast or pancakes. Plenty of food for two. And we always ask for our favorite waiter - Alfredo. Funny, friendly, and great service!

    Chicken Tender Salad

    My mom and I decided to have lunch at this Ruby's since we were in the area. The parking lot next to the Ruby's was a little inconvenient, and it was already quite full, but we managed to find a spot. We came on a Friday at 12 and it was relatively busy. Luckily, we were able to sit down immediately and our waiter, Caesar, was very quick to take our orders. I got the chicken tender salad and my mom got the fish and chips. Our food came out quick! We both enjoyed our meals. The tenders on the salads were generously sized and my mom loved the fries that came with her meal. Overall, it was a nice spot to grab lunch. The interior was cute and very reminiscence of the older Ruby's vibe. I'd come back!

    Impossible Burger, salad, lemonade drink.

    We both had burgers. I ordered the Impossible Burger with a side salad and a lemonade drink. It was so delicious! My daughter ordered the bacon burger, and a chocolate shake. We were both completely satisfied with the food and the service. We will be back! Yum!

    It is Ruby's so you know what you get, although I did think this place had better tasting food than most Ruby's. What really brought it home was the outstanding service we had. Attentive waitress who paid attention. And greeted regulars by name.

    Lit sauce. Good vibes. Beautiful. Playing Billie Holiday. I ordered chicken tenders - fire, What more do u want?

    Lots of booths

    This was the second of three Ruby's Diners I recently ate at in one day (!!!) for my stepfather's recent 80th birthday celebration. It definitely had a vintage feel to it, and I'm guessing it's been here for awhile. It would probably appeal mostly to people at the older end of the Boomer spectrum. My veggie burger was very good and the service was good. Others in my party weren't as happy with their food as I was, but it was fine. Parking across the street had signs implying it was very restrictive re: time, but the restaurant personnel said it wasn't a problem so we risked it and we were fine.

    The Classic

    I love Ruby's! It's one of the most underrated burger joints around. The waitstaff is always super polite and friendly. Food is always great (love their burger/fries combo) and they have good breakfast. It's nothing fancy, but it's not supposed to be.

    Designated free parking lot is convenient.
    Lynnann W.

    Hadn't been to a Ruby's in over a decade; happily it hasn't changed! Love the 1950s diner vibe. Everyone was cheery on our Saturday lunch visit and although bustling, we were sat immediately. Alfredo was fantastic with a great personality and humor for days. Loved that I could have lunch while my friend had breakfast. Their Ruby (patty) Melt and onion rings are comfort food at its best. The French toast platter and bacon was also a huge hit. We left stuffed. Two full meals with wine for me and it was only $40 - what a deal! On PCH but happily they've got a dedicated free parking lot so it's super convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

    I had a great experience! Of course most of us know about Ruby's. Hamburger, fries and a shake with a diner vibe. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The restaurant was super clean and organized. The classic hamburger and fries were fresh and delicious! I usually don't order desserts often but I ordered a chocolate shake and it was the perfect addition. I love this location as it's on PCH in Corona Del Mar and it makes it that much more enjoyable and a nice treat! I would absolutely come back even for just a quick milkshake stop!

    This place is very nice to come and eat with family and friends.

This past Sunday, I came in with my daughter, who was really craving a steak. She ordered it medium, but it came out a little more well-done than expected. What impressed me most wasn't the mistake, but how it was handled. Our server, Jenny, was attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about our experience. We never asked for the steak to be removed from the bill, but Jenny and the manager took the initiative to make it right and comped it because it didn't meet their standards. That level of customer service is becoming rare, and it really stood out. My burger was absolutely delicious, the rest of the food was excellent, and Jenny even brought my tea in a to-go cup without me having to ask. It's not always the big things that make a difference it's the little details that show a restaurant truly cares about its guests. Thank you, Jenny, and the entire team, for another wonderful experience. Great food, outstanding service, and a team that goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Great Maple and will definitely be back.
