    The really big breakfast
    Monica M.

    This place is amazing. The people are really nice and help. Great for breakfast or lunch.

    Salads, soups, hot dogs, and shareables

    We stopped by after school for lunch and milkshakes today 3/18 and this place did not disappoint! The food was fresh and hot. The burger was juicy and full of flavor. The club sandwich was so good! So good my teen stole my plate lol. My little ones enjoy their chicken tenders and milkshakes. The milkshakes were delicious!! The service was great, our server was very attentive and brought everything we needed. He definitely made our experience more enjoyable. The restaurant is a wonderful trip back down memory lane with the vintage vibe.

    This continues to be my favorite Ruby's spot. It's a shame they continue to close more locations though. This one never disappoints. The area is always upkept and clean. The service is absolutely incredible as well. We had a male server who was the most attentive and helpful person I have ever encountered without being so "in your face" about it. The food was great as well. I gotta say though, the shake stole the show for us both. My boyfriend, Daniel, ordered a coffee shake. This man doesn't really like sweets but he couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. I don't like coffee so I stuck with my usual chocolate shake and again, never a disappointment! I love this Ruby's and the staff. It's always calm, clean, and pleasant. Doesn't matter what year I go in, it has always been a pleasant experience.

    If you are craving for an old school American diner foods, Ruby's is a interesting spot that brings back those classic vibes, since something like this is getting harder to find these days with the rise of more trendy fusion spots. On a hot day, it's good way to cool down yourself with an ice cold milkshake. The Oreo cookie shake is sweet, creamy, and hits the spot, while the mint milkshake has a refreshing flavor that stands out. Service is warm and friendly, as most customers are local and seems know the servers very well. Food wise, the prices lean a little high for the quality, but it's still enjoyable. The French fries are crispy and satisfying, and kids enjoy their cheeseburger and Mac and cheese. People also came here during classic car gatherings, which is a fun local event. While milkshake contains too much sugar for both adults and kids, but once in a while, why not treat yourself?

    Excellent service. Turkey burgers so delicious. Fries so crispy and hot not like fast food fries. Chocolate and Stawberry shake very delicious. Please keep this establishment open. Whittier needs this traditional restaurant.

    We came during an off hour and it was great! Our server was really nice and made sure my friend's gluten allergy was taken care of. I got the swiss mushroom burger and it was good. The peanut butter milkshake was also delicious and really big.

Today I was feeling adventurous and willing to try a different location. Parking was easy during a late lunch and queue to order. We used the screens to order and it was weird to be asked for tip when you placed your order and you grab your order to take to the table. Nevertheless, I ordered the ahi tuna sandwich as it sounded interesting and I wanted seafood. From the sides, the onion rings were my favorite followed by the green beans. Onion rings were big and freshly fried so very crisp. The green beans were also very crisp and tasty. The fries were just ok, not my favorite. My burger was really good with the ahi tuna slightly cooked but a little pink in the center. I would definitely get this again! The reason for the missing stars in my review is to do with the lack of cleanliness in the dining area. There were multiple dirty tables inside and outside. We had to kind of clean our table before we got our food which goes back to why ask for tip? They have 2 gender neutral restrooms and both were not great with missing paper towel and kind of dirty. I'm glad I had them again, but wouldn't dine in here.

One of my favorite things is that they make their own sodas. It's a fun little touch that makes the place feel different from your typical burger spot. If you decide to eat inside, the whole restaurant has a cool retro vibe, and even the servers stay in character with the theme. It makes the experience feel a little more special than just grabbing a quick meal. If you're there in the morning, do yourself a favor and order a breakfast burrito. Pair it with their salsa and it's honestly one of my favorite breakfasts around. We've also had their burgers and sandwiches several times, and they've never disappointed. It really just depends on what you're craving that day. Some places are fun the first time.

When I first came in I asked to use the restroom because I was with my 7yr old and she was about to pee her pants. The guy just looked at me and was going to say no but then he processed what I had asked and he said yeah but gave me a look. I told him I was going to order but my kid needed the restroom first and he then told me where the bathroom was. When we came out I went to the register and the guy came up and just stood there. I then told him it was my first time and looked at the menu. I then asked him if there was a favorite burger and he quickly said "argentine" and just stood there again. He took my order and honestly it seemed like he was checked out or zoning out consistently. The order then took 20 mins to complete and it was To Go. I also was hearing as the lady cooking the food was just slapping the burgers on the counter as she finished them, without any care or decency. When I looked at my order I saw the fries were just in small paper boats covered with another paper boat, not something I expected for $6-7 for fries but I digress. First off, I got 3 burgers and 2 fries plus 2 Brazilian lemonades. While I was paying the screen gave me the option to enter my phone number and register to save points, well I wasn't even done registering when the cashier just processed the order and asked me to pay. I told him I was trying to register my phone and if he could get the option up again and he said no I can't. So he just said I had to pay for it and that he was sorry I couldn't get the points. This was extremely rude and felt rushed. I was the only person there ordering too and I told him it was my first time being there so I didn't appreciate the fact that he did that and didn't offer to fix the issue. Secondly, the lemonade was disgustingly bitter. It was gross and I had to throw both out. It tasted like they had blended overripe limes into the drink and they didn't even bother to see that the limes had gone bad. The burgers themselves were honestly average even with all the different flavors or toppings. I got the Nashville, Guadalajara and the Argentine burgers and they all tasted the same. Nothing special and actually tasted quite flavorless. The only difference was that the Guadalajara bun was soggy due to the juices that leaked to the bottom and it tasted mainly like cilantro. The Nashville burger tasted like bacon and that's it. Nothing special. The Argentine one had some flavor in the arugula/chimchurri sauce but aside from that again, the patty was bland. The Parmesan fries lacked flavor and the bacon/cheese fries were just sad. It felt like the just microwaved velvetta on top. Luckily the guy at the register disrupted my registration process because I will not be coming back. If you want plain burgers you're better off going to BK or McDonalds down the street.

On the other hand, they serve up a heaping plate of inconsistency. Three different items from their already small menu weren't available. No Al Pastor? Multiple beers tapped out? And this was early in the evening, not closing time. It made me wonder: supply chain problem, or did they just forget to go shopping? With only one server and one cook on duty, the whole place had a vibe of "we're trying, but please don't look too closely." Service was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt a little uncomfortable, like something was just... off. As for the food: the Pumba tacos were excellent, the Gobernator shrimp taco was also good, and then there was the "side salad." Calling it a salad feels generous. It looked like someone raided the burger garnish tray and charged me $8 for it. Full iceberg leaves, a few tomato slices, a browning avocado, and purple onion just sat there staring at me, daring me to fight it. It was such a disaster I almost had to set up a GoFundMe page for it. The space itself is modern and vibrant, and the menu ideas are creative -- if only you can actually order them.

The charred cheese paired with the grilled meat creates a lot of flavor and gives the burger a unique twist. Unfortunately, the overwhelming saltiness completely overshadowed everything else for me. That said, there were several things I did enjoy. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the variety of drink options. The Strawberry Watermelon drink was my favorite. I also liked that they offer multiple dipping sauces for both the fries and burgers. My husband absolutely loved the fries and couldn't get enough of the chipotle sauce. I personally preferred the garlic aioli, and the creamy jalapeño sauce was surprisingly delicious as well--though a little too spicy for me to enjoy more than a taste. Despite my issue with the seasoning, I wouldn't write this place off. I think the burger could be really good with less salt, so we'll probably give it another try and ask if they can go lighter on the seasoning next time.

I was pleasantly greeted by ALEX, who when I told him this was my first time he began to show me the menu, as well as make recommendations! The menu is full of dishes for the whole family, even the pickiest of eaters can find plenty to choose from! The ambiance was reminiscent of an old school diner, cool decor and a very mellow atmosphere! I ordered a double cheese burger combo, an avocado cheese burger with fried zucchini, WOW JUST WOW! Everything was perfect, I even ordered a chocolate shake that was super delicious and the ultimate finish to the meal! Yesterday, I returned to mikes for a late lunch. This time I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted, and let me tell you ALEX and this woman who I think was one of his assistants helped me decide. This red carpet of service that they show at Mike's makes me only want to come here when I'm eating out! This time I went with the asada fries, and a California burger (lettuce wrapped). I can go on and on, but I highly recommend you bring the family down and enjoy for yourself! THANKS MIKE'S & CREW!

When I called back, the employee that took my order told me "that's not what you ordered," which felt dismissive and a bit frustrating. She told me to come back with the burrito but I was already too far to drive back. Afterwards, I spoke with the manager and he offered to replace the burrito when I was back in the area, which I appreciated.
