I drive by this place quite often and wow, when they are cooking you can smell it from the road. The wings are not breaded, and come with your choice of sauce, can't remember all of them but it was a bunch. The burger was cooked perfectly with your choice of cheese and onion, tomato and lettuce. There is a pool table inside and they have karaoke and taco night etc. All sorts of things happening and great prices. The bartender was very pleasant and had lots to talk about. This is not a fancy place, a bit dated, but it's a bar, enjoy the cozy atmosphere with friendly service.

A Welcome Surprise at the End of a Long Travel Day…read more"Sometimes the best meals are the ones you never expected." After a long day of travel delays and missed meals, we landed in Jacksonville hungry and exhausted. Our flight from Dallas arrived more than five hours late, our luggage took forever, and by the time we finally made it to the car it was past 9:15 at night. At that hour we knew our dining options were limited. As we drove away from the airport we spotted Ruby Tuesday with its lights still on and decided to give it a try. It is not the type of restaurant we typically review, but this turned out to be one of those nights when a simple meal becomes memorable because of the people and the experience. Ambiance and Décor Ruby Tuesday is exactly what you expect from a national restaurant near the airport. Clean, simple, and located in a commercial area frequented by travelers and hotel guests. The décor will not win design awards, but what stood out to us immediately was how warmly we were welcomed. We were the only guests in the restaurant and it was clear the staff was hoping to close up soon, yet they greeted us with genuine kindness. After the day we had, that meant more than they probably realized. Menu and Drinks After hours without food, the Ruby Refresher caught my attention right away and it hit the spot perfectly. Susan ordered a cosmopolitan. The bartender was new and still learning, and the first drink was not quite right. The staff handled it beautifully and remade it without hesitation. The second version was fantastic. Their professionalism and friendliness turned a small hiccup into a positive moment. The menu is extensive and offers plenty of comfort food choices, especially for tired travelers looking for something satisfying. Food Quality I ordered the triple smash burger with onion rings and it was exactly what I needed. Maybe it was the long day, maybe it was the hunger, but it tasted fantastic. Susan chose the tilapia special with shrimp. The dish was prepared very well with flavorful rice and a sauce that struck the right balance of seasoning and spice. For a late night meal at a chain restaurant, the food exceeded our expectations. Service This is where Ruby Tuesday truly excelled. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely caring. They treated us like valued guests even though we were the last table of the night. Their attitude turned what could have been a forgettable meal into an experience we appreciated. Value and Pricing The pricing was very reasonable for both the quality and the portions. It is exactly what you hope for in a restaurant catering to travelers. Overall Experience Walking in we did not expect much. Walking out we were pleasantly surprised. The warm service, well prepared food, and welcoming atmosphere made this a far better experience than we imagined when we pulled out of the airport parking lot. Ruby Tuesday may not be a destination restaurant, but on this night it was exactly what we needed. The Culinary Duo Rating:

What a shame! They used to have the most tender and buttery steaks in the area. We did tell our server, but she had no recommendations about how to rectify the situation. There weren't many people in the restaurant, (maybe 4 tables) so it was quiet. Our server was waiting on every table. The chefs were singing VERY loudly in the back. I believe in having fun while you work, but he was being obnoxious. Obviously that there was no manager on duty that day. We consider this place our "go to " for a no-drama meal... Obviously something has changed.

The order was taken and beverages arrived shortly afterwards. I ordered the enlightened cherry chipotle glazed salmon with couscous and grilled asparagus. The glaze was good: smoky but not too sweet from the cherries. It was a well-balanced blend. The couscous and asparagus were influenced with sun dried tomatoes and were very pleasant. I enjoyed the meal. If only I had room for dessert... maybe next time!

There was plenty of parking available, the restaurant was clean, service friendly and efficient, and pricing average about $30 per person all in.

It was clear that my chicken fried chicken and his burger were made and set aside to wait on fresh fries. The fries were perfect, hot and crisp. His burger was cold and the bun starting to go soggy. My chicken was cold, the breading was a tough yet soggy mess and the gravy had congealed to a near solid state. My carrots were cold and mush and the hashbrowns casserole was also cold. Service-2/10. The staff clearly had regulars or friends that came that they were happy to pass their workday with but that meant we were just sitting there waiting. Over 15 minutes for our drinks and another 30 minutes for food after our order was placed. Atmosphere-9/10. The stores have clearly been getting makeovers as the dinning area was entirely new and fresh. I would have really enjoyed the visit if I was basing it on the ambiance alone.

Had to ask for items multiple times. However, the food was good I had the blooming chicken and loaded baked potatoe (I should've took a picture before) the potatoes were amazing baked to perfection. The chicken gives off a lemon flavor but I didn't like the sauce that comes with it. The chicken is extremely juicy and if you love extra chicken skin get this meal.

So, with my wife being out of town trying to figure out what to have for dinner one night. I was…read morecraving a salad with some steak on top so I figured I would give Outback a chance. After looking over the menu, they do offer a steakhouse salad for $19.99 however, the steak is a center-cut sirloin which would not be my first choice. I would prefer a ribeye, but you can't just swap out the steak type. The waitress, Christine, suggested I order a steak of my choice, and then make a larger salad both of my sides. So, my salad was bigger than the normal side and yet didn't cost extra because it came with the steak as two of my sides. I felt it was a clever solution to my dilemma. I got a good size salad with a steak that I wanted which ended up being a Delmonico ribeye, which is a new item on their menu according to what it says. The ambience most people were seated at or around the bar area and when I arrived, it took a couple minutes before someone saw me up at the greeting podium. I asked her to seat me away from the bar area and she ended up seating me right on the other side of the partition of the bar area right in front of the kitchen. Which is better than being seated in front of the bathroom. but there is a lot of foot traffic with the weight staff going in and out of the kitchen and having to loudly good grief, yell the word "corner!" when going in and out to warn others to avoid a collision. I would've preferred to be seated further away to a more isolated spot. They were certain plenty of tables to choose from, showing that they were really, not all that busy on a Thursday night. My steak was cooked as ordered, which was medium rare and the flavor was pretty good and relatively tender. I do like their blue cheese vinaigrette dressing on the salad, I even asked Christina if I could get a side of croutons so I could add them and she obliged. I feel like many many years ago the croutons used to be different and were really just cut up pieces of their house bread and they changed them at some point. overall, it's a decent experience. after my tip, my order was $49 even. The Delmonico alone was $33. I could've easily spent that much on lower quality fast food which these days is no longer a cheap option. they're a little kiosk at the table advertised a deal where you can get one adult entrée dine-in and then pay 10 more dollars for another whole order to take home. I didn't see any fine print on the ad about any restrictions of what to order which would be shocking because you could order something very expensive on the menu for $10 imagine getting another whole steak and lobster tail add-on for just $10. I may have to look more into this deal.

Worst restaurant experience in years. I would never recommend this location. Absolute disaster of a…read morerestaurant. It took nearly 3 hours to get out of there. FOOD: - Tater tots were truly excellent! Chicken nachos appetizer was solid. Everything else (boneless wings, buffalo chicken dip) was not appetizing or visually appealing. The Pick-Six value deal was not worth it. The boneless wings were small, way more breading than meat, and the flavor was overpowering. - Had to take a Pepto Bismol tablet last night and an OTC anti-gas/anti-diarrhea pill this morning because of the food. I felt very sick on my stomach this morning. Kept that private from the group I went with. Another guest in our party messaged me today and said, "I think those wings destroyed my stomach." I think so, too! SERVICE / EXPERIENCE: - Slowest service I've seen in years. It took 10-15 mins to place drink orders, over 40 mins to order appetizers, and we were at least 60 mins in before we ordered our entrees. - Other large tables got their food / were served before we were, even though they were seated 20-30 mins after us. - Loud atmosphere, difficult to hear the people at our own table. Cherry on top: the card payment machine was continually malfunctioning and it took an additional 40 mins for our table to pay for our food. We still left respectable tips (20%, 25%, etc.) for our server out of respect for her, as this is her job. However, this restaurant is TERRIBLE. Terrible food, service, and the worst experience in a restaurant I've had in years. Never coming back to this place.

(As a veg-head, I greatly appreciate this ) The food portions are larger than I thought they'd be. We got a few different things to try... Kuki Butter Latte- coffee is truly bright & flavorful. The sweet cream foam adds the perfect amount of sweetness to top off the caramel drizzle & crushed cookies in the cup. Deviled Egg waffle- now you *know* I had to add avocado to this. It wasn't exactly what I expected. I thought it was going to be more of an egg salad situation & not just sliced pieces of egg. Still flavorful. The spicy mayo isn't as spicy as I thought it was going to be as well. Definitely a "knife & fork" style of eating on this one. Grilled Cheez It, Brah waffle- cheese pull 9/10! A couple of different savory cheeses in this one perfectly pair with the crisp exterior & light sweetness of the waffle. LOVED this! Chicken Sammie waffle- (described by my hubby, as I am a vegetarian & cannot eat this) fried chicken patty is moist, the right amount of thickness, & flavorful. Mayo, pickles, lettuce, & cheddar cheese ratios make this sandwich rather delightful. All in all... great food. Amazing portions for the prices. Healthy, clean options. If you're looking for FAST... this may not be the place for you. In my opinion, no food made quickly ever tasted as good as that which took a little more time. ‍ We will definitely be coming back
