The vibes for this place are.... Interesting. The food is diner, the servers feel like diner servers and then the walls are blue with "fancy lighting".... It just feels off. I wish they would lean into the diner vibe! The booths are not padded which was quite uncomfortable. They are also falling apart... like duct tape. Just looks like they are trying to do quick fix but it's coming off very tacky. Our server was a delight! She was quick, to the point but still very friendly! The food: The giant blueberry pancake was delicious! I do feel it was a tad dense but my boyfriend said he preferred it that way. The biscuits and gravy were definitely a stand out! Full of flavor!! The hash browns were very good! We added cheese sauce on the recommendations from Yelp, but didn't find it really added anything. I would skip that in the future. The hash browns were perfectly crispy and soft- just how they should be! The portions are large and we were very pleased with the bacon!! Overall, this was a solid breakfast place. In the future I would possibly get breakfast to go as the seating wasn't that comfortable

The portions are huge, the prices are more than fair, and the service is not bad. I enjoy places like this that are not a chain restaurant and have served their community for years.

This time though I decided to try their special Albuquerque Omelette and it was amazing!!! Filled with cheese and hatch chilis then smothered in half red and half green hatch chilis. It was huge and so good. You definitely need to be able to tolerate some heat though. It's more than Minnesotan spicy. Next time I want to try one of the Fruit Fritters. I saw so many coming out of the kitchen and it looked amazing! Weekends the place is packed and they are not open for dinner. I went on a weekday morning and got in right away. Great customer service. Give this place a try!

I love the authentic cafe vibe in here: cozy, simplistic diner basics like counter stools and booths. The place is adorned with drawings from kids and adults alike showing love for the Uptowner - so cool. I ordered some breakfast classics: hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, etc - and WOW the meal was delish. The hashbrowns were perfection! My service was great - the one server holding things down was so kind and efficient. I love diners where you can see the chef griddling right in front of you. A man in need came in towards the end of my visit, and the waitress provided him with a cup of coffee to warm up - I chose to pay for his coffee, but it's these little acts of kindness from restaurant teams that show why restaurants are the heart of our community. Thank you!

My expectations were very low. I am thrilled to report that Ruby's exceeded all of my expectations with a pleasant place to eat, fantastic service and quality food at a very affordable price. Jackpot! In this small restaurant, we saw what seemed to be a large number of locals. They have a very strong breakfast selection that is offered all day long. Since we were there at lunchtime, we decided to focus of the lunch offerings. My wife had the chicken salad, which was artfully arranged. The Chicken Salad comes with mayo, celery, onion, mixed lettuce, dried cranberries, fresh apples, mandarin oranges and poppyseed dressing., as well as an English muffin for $15. My wife thought it was one of the best chicken salads she has had! I ordered the Clubhouse Sandwich which came with lettuce, turkey, ham, bacon, cheddar, tomato and mayo on Texas toast, as well as a side of excellent fries for $16. Honestly, if this place was closer to us, I'd be here at least once a week, maybe more! I very highly recommend Ruby's.

I found free street parking & I ordered on the kiosk it was quick and efficient. The guys cooking in the back were friendly. My sandwich was made fresh to order, came out hot, and took less than 10 minutes to prepare. I tried the Cry'N Eggy, personally, it wasn't quite as spicy as I was hoping for, and I could have done without the arugula. That being said, it was still a really good breakfast sandwich. It was wet without being too messy, I really enjoyed the garlic aioli, pepper jack cheese, toasted bun, and fluffy egg. Overall, I can see why people talk about this place so much. I'd definitely come back to try another sandwich and would recommend giving it a try if you've been curious about the hype.

Came here two days in a row so I ought to review already!…read more I first tried the North Loop location and fell in love, so had to check out this location too. Parking is tricky over here: there's a few street spots outside their front door, otherwise the (often busy) parking lot on the other side of the building is an option, and then walk around the building to get to the entrance. They've got some great affordable breakfast sandwiches here, and I like that they have some specialty ones to pick from. I LOVE that they have a gluten free bun option! Extra charge, but so nice to have. Most bfast sandwich spots don't offer that. I've had a few I love, and a few I was so/so on. I like that their ham and bacon is chopped/crumbled, and their eggs are perfect. My second time, my arugula was soggy. My biggest hangup and why it's not a 5-star for me but I'll continue to go: the sandwiches are lukewarm right away. The times I've gone and taken it home to eat, I microwave it for 30 seconds and it's perfect. But right away, if you eat it on the go the cheese isn't melted, the bread isn't toasty, and the individual elements are not hot. So pro tip: take it home and heat it up!

I ordered the Monte Crisco from the specialty menu and grabbed a caramel roll to go. The sandwich itself was solid--crispy outside, warm and savory inside--definitely enjoyable. The caramel roll, however, didn't live up to the reputation. It was surprisingly dry. That said, the icing was delicious and had great flavor, but it couldn't quite save the overall texture. Unfortunately, what really ruined the experience for me happened after we finished eating. While chatting with my friend at the table, I watched a mouse scurry right past us and disappear into a crack in one of the booth seats. It was quick, but not quick enough to miss. I get that things happen in the restaurant world--it's not always easy to control pests--but this mouse looked very familiar with the layout, like it had done this routine before. I was immediately grateful that my leftovers were already packed, and we made a beeline straight for the exit. No matter how good the food is, something like that leaves a lasting impression... and not a good one.
