I would rate Ruth Ann's a 3.5. We stopped for lunch. Nothing wrong with Ruth Ann's. It's a basic restaurant to have breakfast or lunch. My wife had breakfast and I had a good tuna salad sandwich. Waitress was pleasant. Service was not overly fast but ok. Older diner inside with tables and booths that were fine. Nothing special about the ambiance. A small business restaurant which serves the local area. They have specials. That day it was broiled catfish. Cash or credit parking is adequate. read more

Everything about this place was great, and Dana was the bow on top. This quaint (but not small, lots of seating) diner had some of the best hollandaise I have ever had. It felt good to be in there and the food was all heart and good. We had a variety of the Benedict's but lots of options on the menu looked good. Service was friendly and sweet. We didn't try to Cap'n Crunch French toast, but someone should. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed a late breakfast at Ruth Ann's. The service was excellent, our lovely waitress must have come by to fill up our coffee maybe 10 times. The restaurant is a classic diner feel with easy parking and quick service. I ordered the classic Eggs Benedict adding a side of hash browns. It was exactly what I needed- no frills and very filling. I added some hot sauce for a kick of flavor. Will be coming back! read more

As soon as we walked into Ruth Ann's the host was so welcoming. I'm visiting from California and this has been the best and most warming welcoming experience thus far! The food was amazing super delicious! We had pancakes, captain crunch French toast and the pancake tacos everything was a 10/10. For sides we had the basics hash browns, eggs bacon and ham, which also was very delicious. The ambiance was amazing the servers Stephanie and Dana were super funny very and talkative with us you can tell they love interaction with the customers. I absolutely loved it here and if we ever visit again we will definitely be stopping by here to visit Stephanie and Dana read more

This was a great place to go totally wanna go back. Service is great. Food was great and Bryce was amazing. Totally recommend.

The staff is nice. The look and feel of the place is good and feels like it's been there a long while. All the food I tried the couple of times we went while in town was very tasty. Especially the Grande breakfast burrito and the tall glass of orange juice. Whenever I visit Columbus again, I will most definitely come to Ruth Ann's again! read more

I went to this restaurant and ate and the waitresses were very rude. I couldn't get nobody to bring me my second drink and they were kind of rushing me out of the booth, like they had somebody more important to sit in it.So I just said to h*** with this place..... Now I'm going to Yelp, and I'm gonna post it here too. Thanks for nothing. I got a meal that was worth 20% or whatever I paid for it. I got attitude which I didn't pay for and I got that in abundance If the waitresses at this restaurant had their way, you'd walk in one door drop your money in a bucket and turn around and leave.So they could have it, they don't care about your service read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had since moving here from the west coast it's a must have for anyone missing that west coast staple

Very traditional southern breakfast place. Great sausage gravy to go on biscuits and some fun combos with fried chicken and eggs.

Cute little local diner - have all of your typical favorites for breakfast/brunch. Service was great and food was good, too

Had a really nice visit here to conclude a wonderful weekend in Columbus! My husband stumbled upon this place during his search for a local spot we could grab breakfast before heading out. It didn't disappoint. Everyone was friendly, it felt like your classic dinner and the menu provides a delightful downhome feel. My brother in law got the breakfast big meat plate and he enjoyed. My sister had the cap n crunch French toast. It's more like a dusting of the crumbs that are at the bottom of the cereal bag but I enjoyed them, moreso than my cinnamon swirl pancakes. Her sausage links were over cooked. My eggs and bacon were satisfactory and my husband enjoyed his salmon croquettes. The service was good. I ordered the cotton ball latte to go, white chocolate/macadamia flavored and it was delightful! read more

I've heard about this restaurant on multiple occasions as being excellent. Well, that certainly was not the case on my first and only visit to this eatery. While the waitress was very friendly and helpful, the food was just terrible. Coffee was very good, but the sausage patties were overcooked and cold, and the bacon was fried to a crisp and luke warm. It seems that these items were cooked hours before they were served or maybe even left over from the day before. Just horrible. I will never go back there again, ever. read more

horrible. everything was cold. grits were so oily and had no flavor. the eggs were also very oily. and the hash browns had no flavor and was cold. horrible. read more

Loved the food, great taste and I don't feel the need to drown it in salt, pepper and hot sauce like many breakfast places. I'd say I enjoyed the portion sizes, both of us left full. The cappuccino was great without any added sweetness. My friend had gotten the breakfast platter. The pancakes were fluffy, everything's looked and tasted great. Our waiter was very kind and knowledgeable. He was very on top of it as well. The ambience is a perfect mix of southern and modern. The booths are comfortable, we were well spaced I didn't feel super crowded with other customers. The staff looked like they genuinely enjoy their jobs, I like seeing that rather than wait staff running stressed and slapping a smile on when they get to the table. They were quick, and happy. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We had about a ten minute wait before being seated. This place seems to be the place to be on Saturday mornings, it was packed inside with a wait outside. Oh yes we're in the right place for breakfast. I love to travel to Columbus, it's about a two hour drive from Atlanta, seems like everytime I run into a jewel of a restaurant here. I ordered the strawberry cheesecake french toast with a side of eggs and they were delicious. Inside the strawberry french toast was a strawberry cream cheese compote, it was rich creamy and delicious more like a breakfast dessert although it's not overly sweet at all. My breakfast companion ordered eggs grits and an ole country time favorite streak a lean lots of it too. When I'm in town this will be my go to for a good Ole country breakfast. The service was wonderful too. read more

I experienced a group of seven Hispanics come into the restaurant mid-morning. They were very well dressed, well mannered and had three small children with them. These were not the typical Hispanics you see in Phenix City or Columbus. They were, I'll guess here, a military family or group, just based on their demeanor and appearance. They were told they'd have to wait 25 minutes for a server because the server wasn't ready for another table. Mind you, there were two to three tables available for them to sit. I've been to ruth anns a few times and have never seen this treatment of anyone. To see it with my own eyes, deliberately, and with zero valid reasons to make them wait, was painful even to me. I hope this isn't representative of ruth anns as a whole. read more

Classy place for Georgia diner food. The attention to presentation shows how's ch pride is taken. My friend Denise and I were the only women customers. The other customers were good old boys. Next I visit Columbus, I'll go again. read more

After a terrible experience at another restaurant this morning, we decided to come back to Ruth Ann's. The servers always welcome us like family, like your favorite auntie had you over for breakfast. The food was amazing, the specials were great, and the whole place just radiated warmth. They truly turned our morning (and our mood) completely around. We'll be back soon! read more

So this morning we had to leave another restaurant for bad service. Came to Ruth Ann's because we've never had a bad service here. Server was amazing and very personable and treated you like she was serving you in her own house. The food is always amazing and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good diner experience read more

Great food great service. Carrying on with the family tradition club sandwich And Hash Browns are my favorite

I wanted to support a local restaurant instead of a chain. Found Ruth Ann's on google maps. They were busy and we had to wait 35 minutes, good sign. Server was great and it was a clean place. My husband ordered the rooster which is fried chicken on a biscuit with an egg and gravy. He got chicken nuggets on biscuit with eggs and gravy. It tasted fine. I ordered a corn beef and tater tot omelet and got an omelette with the corn beef hash you buy in a can. I Couldn't eat the hash, no good, but the egg part of the omelet was good, hash browns crispy and delicious and the biscuit tasted good. If you go ask for clarification on what you are ordering. The Captain Crunch French toast looked interesting and the neighboring table gets them ever time they eat there. Try those read more

The service was excellent! She was prompt, communicative and kept the coffee cups full! I believe her name was Shaun. The food was fresh, hot and great servings.

My mother in law got the eggs meal with bacon and pan lakes and she was very happy with the quality.

Fortunate to go on a Friday morning (6/2) and it was not as busy as it usually looks which is a plus for our first time trying. Katie was great and attentive. I understand they are short staffed here but service was pretty quick so no complaints there. Husband ordered the Rooster and we ordered kid cakes for the kiddo. For myself I went for the captain crunch French toast. Food was great! Not entirely sure how I was expected the food to be but I'm relieved the French toast didn't end up being overly sweet. Overall this place is local, cozy, and decently priced. Hoping to be back soon! read more

Diner style eating!! Just regular old country dining. The food was good, but don't be surprised if you saw your server outside taking a smoke break on your way in!! Lol!!

We looked at the menu prior to going to breakfast. Pictures are deceiving! If you're thinking about going, just don't even do it. Take yourself right over to Café 431. We waited an extremely long time to get a table. Customer service sucked and we were constantly talking to the waitress about things that we needed that should have been provided. Food was subpar and overpriced. The diner is outdated and needs a facelift. read more

Ruth Ann's is a nice southern brunch spot in Columbus, GA. On our visit, we ordered the country fried steak and the red velvet pancakes. The country fried steak tasted like a classic southern dish. The steak was tender, had a nice crunch on the outside from the fried batter and was topped with gravy. The country fried steak came with eggs and two sides (we ordered the hash browns and whole wheat toast). Their hash browns tasted like normal hash browns, nothing special. The red velvet pancakes come topped with a huge pile whipped cream. As soon as they set the plate of pancakes down, our waitress warned us to watch for the whipped cream as it tends to slide off, and right after I took the picture it slid off. The red velvet pancakes were underwhelming, they didn't have the pop of flavor that you expect from red velvet. They were a slightly richer flavor than normal pancakes. The interior is surprisingly big, and on a Sunday at 10:30, my party of 2 waited less than 5 minutes to be seated. The hostess and our server were both very nice and welcoming. read more
