Best sandwich shop in Costa Mesa, in my opinion Very fresh bread and ingredients Generous portions Staff is friendly Competitively priced read more

OMG!!! What a hidden gem in Costa Mesa. All my friends kept recommending I come here and now I finally took them up on their offer. How to Order: When you walk in there are ordering slips. You grab a pencil and fill out your order. Once you're done you leave it on the deli case. After the sandwich is made the staff will call you name & then you pay. Love how it is customizable. Parking: It can be tricky with the other shops in the strip mall. I would say try to say come early or avoid rush hour food times. Food: Soo yummy and lots of options. I ordered the turkey sandwich on Ci Si Bon bread with lettuce, pickles, and mayo! I will definitely be coming back again to try all the meats and bread selections. :) read more

Been going here for a long time. Never had a problem until I did and then mentioned it !!! Last order I had made the order online they had left out a topping I requested. This time I went inside to order personally and after mentioning that the last order was made incorrectly they were bound to make it correctly this time. Right? As the whispers went on behind the counter to find out the ingredient were all there this time, except they purposely Used the driest pieces of the bread for my sandwich. $11 sandwich on dry bread. ******So nice of the workers in the back to play games. And it wasn't like they were running low on that type of bread I saw an entire loaf sitting there! Really sad and disappointing! read more

First time at Ruby's but will not be my last. I found Ruby's by luck and boy do I feel lucky. I ordered the roast beef sandwich and was not disappointed. The bread was soft and delicious, and they are not stingy with their ingredients. This sandwich brought a smile to my face it was so good. Their service is old school where one has to write down their order, but the staff was friendly and helpful and they didn't make me feel bad for being a first time customer. They have a casual ambiance and speedy service. I cannot wait to go back! read more

This place does a great job. Fresh and fast. Build your own custom sandwich, they serve it up.

Pretty good sandwich- I miss places like this. Definitely a traditional sandwich shop, that are a dying breed. A must if you're around town, definitely a hidden gem! read more

Ruby's Sandwich Saloon - Turkey/Cheese with sprouts! - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Ruby's Sandwich Saloon is a local, family-owned "hidden gem" in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area known for fresh, traditional deli-style sandwiches on signature breads like their highly-rated squaw bread. Unlike the themed Ruby's Diner chain also found in the area, this is an informal, small-scale shop that has been a community staple for over 50 years, offering a "build-your-own" experience using high-quality ingredients. read more

I've been told that Rubys Sandwich Saloon is a popular location for the locals and students of Newport Harbor High School to come visit. I've been here many times but this is my first review. It's a shop that specializes in sandwiches. When you walk in, grab one of the paper slips to fill out and customize your order. Turn that slip up to the front and they will prep your sandwich while you pay. There's a cute chip corner if you want to add a bag of chips. I'm a classic tuna on wheat kinda gal, so that's what I always get. The squaw bread however is nothing like I've ever tasted and my boyfriend likes to get that for his sandwiches. Small dining area, but most people take these sandwiches to go. read more

Ruby's was a great find! Wanted a fresh and tasty sandwich and found exactly that at Ruby's. A busy spot that is frequented by many locals that seem to know the young ladies working behind the counter. Service was friendly and fast. The sandwiches were made to order with fresh ingredients. The chicken noodle soup was hot with noodles that seemed to be homemade. The dining area at Ruby's is small and clean with tables and a bar area to sit. Over all, a nice lunch at a spot I would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

Quaint sandwich shop with easy to customize sandwiches. I got the tuna, which was okay. The rye bread was a little dry and filling lacked a little flavor. People liked the pastrami sandwich a lot though. I did enjoy being able to put sprouts on the sandwich but I think there are better sandwich places with better bread options. read more

Sandwiches Huge & deliciously fresh! Everyone was super friendly even the customers. Service was quick even in the lunch rush(which there is). Food tasted wonderful and was super fresh. Small eatery but they have plenty of seating. You will not regret coming here we also got a huge pickle with both the potato salad and macaroni salad, but we were so hungry I forgot to take a picture. Really good though. read more

Saw a ticktock with someone saying this was her fave sandwich so I had to give it a try. So glad I did. Our sandwiches were BOMB! On first entry the ladies explained how to get the pad & order your own custom sandwich. Looks to be an all female staff. Very friendly. Delish food. Turkey meat was so fresh.

Down home family feel and sandwiches made with love absolutely delicious. The people that run the place are the best and always welcome me with a warm smile read more

Probably the best deal around for a deli sandwich, and it puts the chains to shame. At $8.35 for a sandwich, its hard to beat around here. The sandwiches are well filled with meat and good sized. Friendly and prompt service is also a plus. The order slip gives you about a dozen options, as well as choice of bread, condiments, and garnishes (avocado is free). I recommend getting your sandwich on a C'est si bon roll if you want a roll. Worth it to search out this little gem. read more

Awesome mom & pop sandwich place. Came in on a Tuesday afternoon and they were packed. I phoned in my order and and about 15 minutes later my order was ready to pick up. The service was nice and friendly. Food hit the spot & the super soft cookies were yummy. I'll be back again soon. read more

Lived here 15+ years and never knew about this place. It's hidden and unassuming but a treasure. It's like stepping back into time. The food is well priced, fresh and small town friendly customer service. I had a whole egg salad sandwich and my husband had a hot pastrami. Very tasty and soft breads. It was peak lunch rush and I still got my food pretty quickly. Would totally recommend to anyone who wants a quick, cheap Sando! Thanks for the recommendation Yelp! read more

Step back in time to Ruby's! There's nothing like a delicious, classic sandwich. It's a great deal when you consider avocado or sprouts as part of the veggie options you can pick without an additional charge. We ordered four sandwiches 2 turkey, 1 tuna, and 1 turkey/ham...there were no complaints from my group of picky eaters. The online ordering was hella easy and ready on time. The customer service was a delight when I arrived. read more

I always go for the Hot Barbecue Sandwich roast, or the Tuna one. Ruby's is a great Sandwich place in Orange County only. They have huge portions of sandwiches as well, so bring a big appetite with you. Sandwiches are delcious. They come with drinks and all. Nice staff, and cool place to eat, Always feel good eating here. read more

I was stuck in a rehab center (with HORRIBLE food) & my sweet friend brought me a turkey, provolone on squaw bread & macaroni salad. It was absolutely delicious and a true lifesaver! Even though I live in Irvine (Jeffery & Irvine Blvd) I will definitely come back for more!! read more

Despite the strange combination I ordered today, I was surprised at how much I liked the sandwich. I conveniently ordered everything online. The menu is straightforward - you choose your choice protein, cheese, veggie + condiments. For myself, I ordered all of my favorite things...but these favorite things don't necessarily belong in the same sandwich. What I concocted was a salami sandwich with provolone cheese, topped with avocado, pepperoncinis + sprouts on squaw bread. None of these ingredients belong today, but magically they did for this one small moment. It's not fancy here, but their ingredients are top notch. Order any combination - I have first hand experience - and you will be pleasantly surprised at how good everything tastes. There is real quality to the attention that is given to the individual ingredients - this makes for a really good sandwich. read more

If you don't order yours on squaw bread, you're going to be disappointed. (And sadly, not because you missed out on the bread, but because the other bread types are pretty awful). If you do order yours on squaw, you might be okay, but overall, it was very plain. I know you "design" your own, but even the way it was made- the mustard and mayo were tiny circular rings in the center of the bread and not even spread out- was rather meh. read more
