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

    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!

    Half Fresh Roast Turkey Breast Sandwich with cranberry sauce

    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 !!!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great food and excellent service with a family ambiance! It is my family favorite restaurant in town

    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.

    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.

    Brunch at Great Maple easily earns a spot in the upper tier of Newport Beach brunch destinations…read more The space feels effortlessly stylish -- bright, energetic, and polished without trying too hard. Even during peak brunch hours, the atmosphere stays lively rather than chaotic, which already puts it ahead of many popular spots in the area. We went straight for the Rib Eye Melt and the Steak & Eggs, and both were standout choices. The Rib Eye Melt was the star: tender, flavorful steak layered with perfectly melted cheese on crisp, buttery bread that balanced richness with texture. Every bite felt indulgent but well executed. The Steak & Eggs delivered exactly what you want from a classic done right -- a well-seasoned steak with a beautiful sear, cooked perfectly and paired with eggs that tied the plate together into a satisfying, no-frills brunch win. Service stayed attentive and efficient despite the crowd, and dishes came out paced perfectly. Great Maple understands elevated comfort food and executes it consistently well. Come hungry -- this is brunch that leans generous, satisfying, and absolutely worth the visit.

The strawberry donuts were a great finish, amazing texture unlike any donut, almost a cross between a donut and bagel but better than both. So why the 3? From the moment we sat down the service was off. The server didn't bother to ask our side of the table what we wanted to drink, nor did he give us a menu til I asked. And when I asked for a water he responded, "You want another water?" I wasn't even given a water to begin with.

She knows I love sweets and do a lot of baking myself, however, I HAVE NEVER TASTED A CUPCAKE THIS DELICIOUS........EVER!! It's truly moist, "flakey" if you could call a cupcake flakey at all, has nooks and crannies as I broke it in half (thinking I'd only eat half and save half for later)... and honestly, lemon is NOT my favorite of anything if I had to pick. So for this baker saying this lemon olive cupcake is the VERY BEST cupcake OF ALL CUPCAKES that I've ever tasted, is saying A LOT. I'm totally a cake person, so the slight glaze on it is more than enough for me! She also bought me a carrot cake cupcake. It's good, but not above and beyond to make a name in this review. There are plenty of carrot cake recipes and this one is a 7 on a scale of 1-10, IMO. ... but the lemon rates 38 on a scale of 1-10. LOL

Their rolls are quite pricey, at $9.75/piece or 2 rolls for $18. This was quite a price difference from what I have seen from their Chicago menu. You can also sample rolls as you browse their menu. I ordered the shrimp and prosciutto rolls. They offer peanut sauce, hot sauce, and I forgot the 3rd sauce. The staff was friendly and food came out within 10 minutes. Since it is within a food court, there are tables that accommodate parties of varying size in a well-lit area. The rolls were okay. I hate that they used paper as part of their packaging as the rolls stuck to them. I did not think the price was justified given exceptional rolls in O.C. at half the price.
