Nice view from the window!
Bazil D.

Good spot, free parking, friendly staff, before I had finished my coke, they brought me a new, very tasty turkey sandwiches, crispy chicken, I really liked it, recommend!

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.
Lisa R.

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!

Eggs with Deluxe Corned Beef Hash & Eggs

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?

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!

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.

Just Hot Dogs is basically a little walk-up shack with a drive-through that's been sitting in the same parking lot forever. Businesses around it have come and gone, but this place is still standing. It's a true little mom-and-pop type of spot. I think it's a couple running it, and every time I've been here they've been really nice. More importantly, the food has stayed consistent. They're known for their Chicago-style hot dogs with the poppy seed buns, but they have quite a bit more than just hot dogs. I've tried the roast beef, which comes with the dip, and their fries are really good. They taste like they're made fresh and I'm pretty sure they're hand-cut. They also have things like chocolate-covered bananas and Balboa bars. I got a chocolate-covered banana this time, they asked if I wanted nuts, wrapped it up in foil and had it ready to go. One little thing I really appreciated was that when I told them some of my order was to-go, they actually asked when I wanted them to make it so it wouldn't sit around and get soggy. It's such a small thing, but that's the kind of care you get at places like this. I've been here a few times now, and the quality has always been consistent. The prices are also really reasonable, which feels harder and harder to find nowadays. It has that old-school neighborhood donut-shop kind of feeling where you recognize that it's just a couple of people running their little business and doing their thing. I hope they stay around for a long time. Places like this are getting harder to find, and I'd much rather spend my money here than at another chain.

I believe it's a little truck in the food area and I am not sure if there's seating around, but I think not since it's giving a street dog vibe. My order was made so fast! I got the typical LA dog, which was wrapped in bacon and had grilled onions and bell peppers on top. I can't believe this was my first street dog EVER and that's when I realized what I was missing out all the time after concerts... It was SOOO good!!! I'm so glad I was feeling gluttonous and got an extra large glizzy because I ended up gobbling up the whole thing. This was exactly what I needed honestly. Yay hot dogs! The only minor thing that I didn't love is that I ordered "homemade chips" and they just gave me a small bag of Lays for $2.50. I didn't love that I payed that much for probably a 50 cent worth bag when I expected some nice homemade ones so they should definitely change that on the orders.
