You can't get this meal ANYWHERE in ETX and I haven't had a sushi meal like this in San Francisco or NYC. You'll spend 3x's this amount to eat at NOBU and F&T is a better experience. Only 8 people per seating and the drink package enhances the meal. He's planning to expand dinner service and I can't wait! Don't walk....run!

The waitress could not have been any better! She answered our questions, told us about the specials and made it fun. W my wife ordered one of the specials, chicken pho. She loved it. I went with the charcuterie and man, what an assortment!! Chicken salad Pimento cheese ball Grapes Appricots Cucumber Salami Apple Blackberries Cheese slices Brie Chocolate Malted balls Sesame straws.... To say it was filling is an understatement! If you have never made it to Ritual, you need to put it on your to do list. Go to Ritual and get Full!

This trip was creamy tomato bisque with a BLTOA (bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion and avocado) sandwich served with bread and butter pickles and chips. Always popular and deliciously extravagant dessert- strawberry cake! This is just like my mom's recipe and is something that is always amazing. Perfect size for sharing - or not - depending on how much you love strawberry cake! And, if you feel like it - drop in for a different sweet treat across the street at the Ritual Laboratorium!

I really wanted to give all five stars for this location. From the staff taking my order at the…read moredrive thru menu board to receiving our order, it was a good experience! But the actual sandwich (which I order every time I visit Schlotsky's) wasn't the best because I don't like so much roast beef, but that is personal preference. It was fresh and had the signature cut in the middle since I ordered a medium. Also, the entrance has a huge upward dip. So when you are crossing traffic from the opposite side your vehicle will bottom out. Same with exiting although it wasn't as dramatic of a bump. Just be aware of potential damage!

Won't take a $50 bill, restaurant was dirty today as well. Thankfully food turned out OK.read more

Been living in Jacksonville for 47 years now and just happened across Ruby's a couple of days ago…read more Took my wife and son there last night and learned they had been open there for two years now. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Ambience nothing to brag about, the place was spotless, so nothing to complain about there, Even being a bit understaffe service was excellent. I had the Cocktail shrimp and found it very tasty and very cool and refreshing. We will most definetly be going back

My wife and I decided to try out the new Ruby's Mexican Restaurant and it was just okay. The chips…read moreand salsa were a positive note, but the chicken nachos we split were disappointing and my wife found them too spicy. For $11.99, I can get a better and more satisfying meal at another Mexican restaurant. The way they organized it was strange, similar to Whataburger. You wait in line to order, then get handed a number for your order. There are no waitresses or waiters, only people bringing you your food. I don't think we will be back unless we are with a group, like we were today.

Lunch counter no longer serves a buffet. New ownership has nixed that. Reuben sounded good, though…read more Oops, no, out of that. Okay, I will get a soup and sandwich combo as you can get a whole sandwich. Well, I got charged for a cup of soup and a sandwich. I did get a cheeseburger, but that is a sandwich. No explanation, no forewarning, just a charge. Oh, the meat in the burger tasted stale. We ordered diet Dr. Peppers with our meals. This is served in hot cans with a glass of ice. Also, the drinks had lost their sweetness due to improper storage. So, we had watered-down and not sweet sodas. The soup of the day, touted as taco, was chili. It was good, but the whole affair was a disappointment. The vibe is of a place on its way out as I too am.

I feel like I have to give this place 5 stars. The food is 4 to 4.5 (so far) but the fact that it's…read moretiny, local, family run, everything made from scratch just pushes it up that extra notch. Chicken fried chicken was juicy and properly seasoned and the best we'd ever had. Ditto for the green beans and the okra. She wouldn't tell us what she puts in the green beans, but it's some combination of bacon grease and magic, I swear. The okra was fresh cut, fresh battered, fresh fried, unlike every other place I get it where you can tell it's out of a bag. Hot water cornbread was ah-mazing. I only wish I had honey to slather on it along with the butter. White gravy was fantastic, with just a hint of sweetness we couldn't quite put our finger on. Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were delicious, but also the only things I can say were on par with some of our other favorites. Prices are extremely reasonable. And the service is as down home and personal as you would expect at a place like Sylvia Mae's. But don't expect quick delivery of your food. Everything is made to order and it takes time, so settle in and be patient. We will definitely return here as often as we can when we are in the area.
