    My family and I love coming here! We truly enjoy the fun retro style, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and the amazing staff. Alondra and Manny always make us feel right at home! Alondra was absolutely wonderful during our visit tonight -- so attentive, friendly, and genuinely joyful in the way she serves. You can tell she really enjoys what she does, and it shows. She was on top of everything and made our experience even better. And Manny, the manager, consistently goes above and beyond. He makes sure everyone who walks through the doors feels welcomed and well taken care of. He's attentive, kind, and clearly great at what he does. We also appreciate how involved he is in the community -- it makes supporting this location even more special!

    This is a $22 combo with small cup of clam chowder. The chicken is bad. There is more batter than the actual chicken. There's too much pepper in the batter as well. The service was great though.

    While more and more fancy and pricey burger joints are popping up everywhere, there is nothing more down to earth and American than grabbing a classic cheeseburger and a shake or a Coke from a Ruby's. This 1950's themed diner has been a part of many local communities for over four decades and very little has changed through the years. The restaurant still features the same booths with bright red and comfy sofas, the servers still wear the same vintage retro-style uniforms, and memorabilia from the days of Big Band music still decorate the walls. Their burgers are always good and accompanied by fresh and piping hot shoestring fries that are properly salted. The meat is flavorful and not too greasy. I also like the toasted brioche bun. I usually go with the classic which comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and Ruby's secret sauce. Sometimes when I want to add some flavors from south of the border, I'll order the guacamole burger. Another one of my favorites is the hickory burger which comes with smoked bacon and BBQ sauce. I find the prices here reasonable and affordable for a treat at a local diner. Their service is usually prompt and courteous. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and is certainly family friendly.

    By far my family's favorite restaurant, Ruby's is truly special. It's hard these days to find a throwback diner with that real "Happy Days" vibe but they've nailed it. From the decor, menus literally everything is 1950's magical. This specific review will highlight Christmastime at Ruby's, which is a family tradition for us to break away during all the busy busy and just enjoy a nice dinner in the midst of all the shopping and wrapping of the holiday. Any train lovers out there? They have a model train not just on display but running in the dining room towards the back (walk in go far right) and the decor is subtle, very small town but with enough touch for a beautiful photo op. Food is always amazing, best burgers this side of town and by far, the #1 spot in So Cal for shakes. Come by for the holidays and believe me, you will be amazed!

    Leaving Ocean's Church after service everyone in our group of four wanted to go eat, save for me…read more My lovely daughter swiftly alchemized my pessimism into gung-ho excitability once she suggested "Daddy there's an upscale burger bar at the Tustin Marketplace..." Cuz nothing on planet earth -save for my wife's lovely figure, of course- will get me going quicker than a well made burger, executed flawlessly. Hopdoddy Burger Bar gets a LOT right: Well made glamburgers that could grace the cover of "Bon Apetit" or "Playboy" what with their glistening, fluffy brioche buns; Creatively christened names; Vast arsenal of craft beers ready on tap; and quick, fast-casual service. Like Jerry Maguire, these folks had me at "Hello!' However, your favorite Yelp correspondent has savored well made burgers on two continents and in 42 states. Here's some tasting notes that my (probable/likely/one day) future son in law and I co-devised: The brioche buns, despite their pillowy softness and foodie-porn good looks, make a lousy vessel for any of their "wetter" burger choices. On Eli's Caddy Wagyu and my Good Night Burger, we both were left with bottom buns soaked like a sponge with various toppings incl bacon jam, house sauce, tomato juice and grilled onions. These were both soggier than my bride's handkerchief after watching "The Notebook!" Please consider offering picky burger snobs like Yours Truly a more suitable bun choice that can withstand the assault of wet ingredients! Suggested vehicles include potato buns, ciabatta, sourdough or even pretzel. Also, pls consider selling customers a small side of fries that ACCOMPANIES the burger- Charging folks $7-13 a la carte when they're already spending $11-$24 for a (glam)burger seems mildly exploitative. Pro Tip- Try dipping your fries in their housemade Chipotle Ketchup is a flavor bomb! My bill, for two gourmet burgers, a large fries and a diet coke, was $47 and change.

    I've been to the one in Newport but they have good selection of beer and tasty burgers…read more Always hits the spot. Hopdoddy is a burger shop and bar with large selection of beer cocktails and burgers. We sat at the bar so was served quickly. The beers are served cold and always refreshing got the hazy IPA and was delicious. I got the bacon jam burger and hubby got the bison burger also got small fires to share. Bacon jam burger wasn't overly greasy not too large with fluffy bun, love the bacon jam flavor,hubbys burger was less fatty but didn't taste too gamy. Fries were good portion for $5, finished 3/4 of it. Hopdoddy never disappoints, will be returning customer here!
