Ruby Red's BBQ is such a gem! This was my first time coming with the family and we were so impressed with the quality of the food, service and ambiance! I ordered 2-2 Meat Combos at $46.99 each. I adjusted the number of ribs in the order for a full rack on each order, which was an $14.99 per order. We also ordered the brisket in both combos. We had 7 people in our party and the amount of food was just right, with a few ribs to take home. The sides that we ordered were: Mac and Cheese, Brisket Beans, Chuckwagon Chili, and Salt Potatoes. We also ordered 3 cornbread muffins on the side to share. The brisket is a 10/10!!! So tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned! The ribs were also delicious but a tad spicy for me. The meats were so good just with the rub! All the sides were yummy but the standouts were the corn bread muffin with the maple butter! Kevin was our waiter-attentive, fast and funny! I love that Ruby Red's BBQ was so understanding about our family's nut and seafood allergies!! When I made the reservation online, they had a list of about 20 allergens that I could let them be aware of! Kudos to them for being so careful!! read more

I had a really pleasant experience here and would give it a solid 4 stars! The absolute highlight for me was the venue itself. The interior of the restaurant is very cool, definitely channeling an old Western saloon environment. It features beautiful dark wood, an old Western-style chandelier, and high ceilings that give the place a spacious yet rustic vibe. The inside is just really cool to look at while you eat. On top of that, the service was very nice, and the servers were all very cute and attentive. For my meal, I ordered the beef brisket sandwich, which came with one side. The flavor of the beef brisket was good, but the meat itself was actually kind of dry. I tend to prefer a much more moist brisket, so that was the only real letdown of the food. The restaurant is located in a huge shopping center surrounded by grocery stores and other restaurants. Because the parking lot is shared amongst all the different businesses in the area, finding a spot can be a total hit-or-miss depending on the time of day you visit. Overall, it was a very nice experience with a great atmosphere, and I'd definitely stop by again! read more

Food, excellent! The decor, second to none! Friendly staff! Breakfast, especially the Biscuits and Gravy, awesome!! read more

This place is an unexpected gem hidden in a busy shopping center. I love the interior decor. It felt like being at Knott's or Disneyland with how detailed and immersive it was. There was a wait when we came in for Sunday lunch/brunch but the hostess and our server were very nice and attentive. The food came in big portions and was very delicious. They have a softer fluffier waffle which I enjoyed a lot but may not be ideal if you prefer crunchier or Belgian style waffle. I specifically came for the biscuits and gravy as this is the specialty dish that I rate for every breakfast restaurant. To start off, visually this is a very chunky biscuits and gravy. It is not the prettiest but those chunks of sausage really made the gravy standout. Surprisingly it was not dry despite how chunky it was. As for the biscuits, I would not say that they were your traditional biscuit. They did not have the crumbly flakiness of your traditional southern biscuits. They were more like a corn bread. However, their biscuit bread did have great flavor and softness. The bread was sweet but it balanced really well with the savory sausage gravy. Overall these biscuits and gravy are a 9/10. Only taking off a point because the biscuits were not traditional but still a very delicious dish. read more

May 9, 2026 - La Habra, CA It was our first visit to Ruby Red's, so we arrived without any expectations. We were pleasantly surprised. The decor was very cool and made us feel like we had stepped back into the Old West. Our server was very friendly, although the restaurant may have been slightly understaffed during our visit. It took a while for everyone to receive their waters, and the appetizer dishes were not cleared before our main courses arrived. That said, each of us ordered something different from the menu, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Definitely would go back. read more

We absolutely love Ruby Red's! Miguel is our favorite waiter; he is always fantastic and attentive, making every visit feel special. The service is consistently on point every time we come in. We visited on Mother's Day, and even with the holiday crowd, they accommodated us within 10 minutes, which we really appreciated. The ribs were incredible, and the cream corn, mac and cheese, and tri-tip beans were all amazing. They even gave out complimentary beignets for Mother's Day, and they were fantastic! Today, we also had the chance to meet the owner, who was so welcoming to us and kind to our children. You can really tell this restaurant cares about its customers and creating a family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

We've always enjoyed Ruby Reds, so we decided to give their breakfast a try for the first time. Unfortunately, it will probably be our last. Despite plenty of open tables, we waited a long time to be seated because there was only one server who was also acting as the hostess. The manager arrived late, and we were told this is a common occurrence. Even after the manager showed up, the restaurant remained understaffed, leaving the employees in a difficult position and making it nearly impossible to keep up with guests--especially on day right next to a popular holiday when higher traffic should be expected. Something to note. Initially it seemed like there was only two people there working which was the bus boy and the waitress. The food was equally disappointing. We requested crispy bacon, but it was undercooked. The potatoes were overcooked, and our eggs, bacon, pancakes, and even the maple syrup were all served cold. After waiting so long for our meal, we chose to eat it as-is rather than wait another 30 minutes for replacements. This experience felt like a management issue more than a staff issue. The employees were doing the best they could under difficult circumstances. Better management, communication with guests, and proper staffing would go a long way toward improving the overall experience. read more

I had no idea that inside Ruby Red's is like going on a vacation and being on a ship. The windows outside make the place look closed but inside is so nice. Each booth has a beautiful water view in the "window." The service was amazing and made our brunch enjoyable. The breakfast menu is large. I had the pulled pork Benedict. The meat had just enough sauce and it was on a round, thick toasted bread that looked like a muffin. We also got 3 different pancakes: blueberry compote (it was yummy but the blue food coloring in the fruit cream was a bit too blue), lemon with coconut (my fav) and banana foster. I would have preferred more natural cream with no artificial coloring as they tasted really good. My friend ordered the pastrami with over easy eggs. It was pretty meaty and good too. Will definitely be back to try the bbq ribs and other menu items. read more

Phenomenal BBQ and a great atmosphere. Breakfast is amazing as well. Owners are very involved and do a great job in the community. Brisket is to die for but everything is top notch. Shout out to Kevin, the best waiter ever. Can't say enough good things about this place. Love it!!! read more

Great BBQ spot right in our backyard!!! Owner of the restaurant helped us out. It was surprisingly busy for a Thursday afternoon. We ordered the following: Shared a 2 meat combo with the Mrs. We opted for double Brisket sides of Mac & Cheese and a potato salad. $46.99. Ian wanted Brisket so he got himself a Texan Sandwich with Waffle Fries as his side. $23.99. Brisket was delicious! It was soo juicy, tender and melt in our mouth!! (+1) Ian devoured his Brisket sandwich. He was a teenager on a mission. Haha. (+1) Peach cobbler was decadent. Mrs. and I loved the fresh fruit in the dish! (+1) Mac & Cheese tastes home made and hearty. Potato Salad was light and savory. Price might appear a tad bit high BUT the portion, flavor and taste make it worth it! All and all it was a great lunch! We will be back. You guys should definitely try this restaurant out. read more

Was here on Mother's Day. This restaurant has a western vibe-from the windows down to the ceilings all have a southern glam to it. Service is very warm and friendly. We got the Banana Foster Pancakes, which were fluffy and had a nice banana flavor. Next, was the assorted meats and brisket loaded fries. The meat was tender and had the right amount of seasoning, and the hot links had a nice snap to it. I recommend getting the cream of corn. The portions were nice and big. Overall, food was great! read more

WOW!!! I never leave reviews but I have to. My friend and I randomly stopped in for lunch...we had NO idea how amazing this place is. First, the AMBIANCE You feel like you are dining at an expensive, old-towny western restaurant; and the music is perfectly fitting. I swear this is the cutest place I have ever seen, I literally felt happy just walking in. Our server Miguel was so helpful, told us the popular options and really nailed down our order according to what we wanted. Given this was our first time he really made sure we got a good taste of everything! The FOOD is so amazing. Everything was absolutely amazing, and my friend and I got a FEAST. The Mac n cheese, cauliflower bites, sweet potato fries, brisket, pork ribs, battered green beans, tater nuggets, jalapeño cheese sticks..... everything was 10/10. PLEASE try it!!! read more

Stopped in with our golf group after a round. Really cool vibe inside. Beautifully decorated. Excellent service. I ordered off the happy hour menu. $2 off draft beer, so it was $5, nice and cold. Loaded brisket fries were good, made with waffle fries. Everyone enjoyed the fried pickles. Others in the group enjoyed their pulled pork sandwiches. Definitely coming back to try their brisket and ribs. read more

This review is for breakfast only. We got a postcard from this restaurant we have never tried offering BOGO for breakfast which is my favorite meal. So we had to go. The interior is like a West World saloon. The breakfast choices were many for such a small place. You could see inside the kitchen a little and based how organized and spotless it is, couple with the ambitious menu items like Benedicts, predesigned omelets, and beignets, I knew we were in for a treat. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, fried green tomatoes, bacon and eggs plate. I had to as it was the only dish on the menu that featured southern gravy. When it came out I got really excited. The scrambled eggs and bacon looked standard. The tomatoes were perfectly golden brown and looked thick like crab cakes. The B&G platter was enormous - just the way I like it. The biscuits were completely covered with spotty chunky gravy. I believe it was smoked ham in a gravy that is housemade with sausage base. The biscuits underneath were the pan style cake-like biscuits and not the flaky buttermilk kind, but they were very good. The eggs were uniformly yellow and soft scrambled. The bacon was fully rendered but not crisp. Many people like their scrambled eggs soft and their bacon chewy, so no problem here. Just note to order "well done" for both next time if that's what you like. My dining partner ordered the brisket breakfast with pancake. Again, multiple plates - enough for two people - came out. The eggs were perfectly medium. The potatoes were expertly cubed, deep fried, then roasted with onions and two colors of bell peppers. Someone forgot to season them but after I salted them, they were perfect. The mound of brisket was impressive - at least half a pound of gorgeous beef with two bbq sauces on the side. The brisket tasted of smoke right away - I like beef forward then smoke aftertaste but I've been to Texas a lot. This is still very good and 10/10 for Orange County. The pancake brought back memories of the bran muffin from Claim Jumper. I could taste the buckwheat, or is it molasses, in the pancake? Whipped butter and maple syrup on the side in its own dishes instead of a sticky dispenser. Nice touch. The cooks, our server and the proprietor of this beautiful restaurant make me glad they sent that postcard. I will be back soon for sure. The leftovers we took home made two more meals so I would say even the pricing is right. read more

I had seen this restaurant before from the outside, but had never tried it. From the outside, you have no idea how different it looks inside! I would describe visiting this restaurant as an amazing immersive experience! The moment you step inside you are no longer in south cal! They have plenty of parking nearby and have their host(ess) right at the entrance. They have 2 main seating areas and a bar top. These areas have booths which include screens displaying sceneries or stand alone tables. Even the restrooms are on theme! The tables are super unique and some have a plaque which shows the type of wood it was made out of. They offer brunch and dinner menus. We have only tried their menu, but brunch looks interesting. The staff were super helpful on both occasions that we have visited and service was great. On our first visit we went for a combo with 3 meats and 2 sides. We LOVED everything we tried! We had brisket, sausage links and ribs. When you get the combo, you get the different sauces which are all very unique on their own way. My favourite was the hot one. For the sides, the chilli was amazing with brisket in it! The potato salad was very refreshing. We added the cornbread which was really good as dessert. Overall it was such a great first experience that we had to be back! We came back for a small meal so we decided to share the brisket French fries and they were AMAZING! We did ask for an extra sauce as we felt like we wanted more. Because we had shared that, I had room for dessert and ordered the beignets. They were big and tasty. This restaurant also has frequent customer club so don't forget to sign up and earn points for your visit! They also have a senior menu for brunch which is really reasonably priced. Keep in mind they do not open Monday and Tuesday. I can't wait to be back and try other stuff! read more

I had the most amazing wedding food with ruby red bbq. I discovered them about a year ago at a bridal convention and got to know many of their staff personally. They are all kind and professional people. My wedding food was all people could talk about, the brisket, pulled pork, creamed corn, and the cheesy jalapeño sausage!! (which is my personal favorite), and all the scratch made sauces. All my guests loved it. Jake and his team treated us like family every step of the way, and I feel so blessed to have such a kind, compassionate, and delicious company involved with my special day! They put heart and soul into their southern cuisine and anyone considering eating here will never be disappointed. read more

We had a group of 10 for our belated "holiday" dinner celebration at Ruby Red recently. Food was great, we ordered the "feast" and the accompanying sides. Our server Amanda was great and very helpful! The protein portion of our meal was very generous but "made from scratch" sides were much smaller for the amount of people at our table. One of our friends had been to Ruby Red several times and recommended this place to our group. I loved the salon ambiance there and thought it was befitting to the Ghost Town area of Knott's Berry Farm. Overall it was a satisfying visit. Looking for to my next visit here! read more

Celebrated my birthday with my sister at Ruby Reds last night. Due to last minute appointment, we weren't able to go eat until 7:25pm. We felt guilty since they were closing at 8pm, but they were so sweet and took care of us. They were out of the brisket so we ordered a 1/3lb rack of ribs and five sides to share. Everything was so delicious, we barely talked during the meal. The Mac and cheese, fries, and creamed corn was my favorite. My sister told them it was my birthday while I was in the bathroom so they brought out a box of beignets to take to-go since it was past 8pm when we finished eating. We ate it in the car the car and we were in awe. It was better than cafe du Monde's and Disneylands beignets. It was incredibly hot and yummy with the lemon curd sauce. Amazing food, great service and nice ambiance. Five star all-around! Can't wait to go back again for the fried appetizers, chili, beef ribs and brisket. I swear we'll come back at an earlier time. read more

Ruby Red's BBQ - Satisfying my pregnancy cravings by getting 5 sides. Everything was spectacular. - Barbeque Near Me - La Habra, California

We ate at Ruby Red's BBQ for the first time last Saturday, May 16. I have one word to describe our experience...WOW! We ordered the Family Feast and EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! And the sides (southern cream corn, mac-n-cheese, brisket beans, and corn bread) were all to die for. (Wish we had taken pictures.) We especially want to give a shout out to our server, Amanda. She was fantastic! So responsive, engaging, and knowledgeable, and all of her recommendations were spot on. And then there's the décor, which is so beautiful and fun. Our only suggestion is a nice cocktail (i.e. an Old Fashioned or Margarita), instead of Diet Pepsi, should would have been nice with such an incredible meal. In addition, your breakfast menu looks delicious, and we're looking forward to giving it a try. That said, we loved Ruby Red's and can't wait to go back. BTW, I almost never write reviews, but had to make an exception for such a great restaurant. :-) read more

Delicious BBQ - I need tender Smokey brisket- I crave it ! And this is the place in La Habra to get it. The service is friendly & the portions proportionate to the price. There's another restaurant in the same shopping mall- no names mentioned- they fill up your plate a little more for a little less money but the quality isn't the same. The quality of food here at Ruby's is great. And we never leave anything behind on our plates! The ribs & brisket are so delicious and tender, we just can't do that! read more

First time visiting Ruby Red's BBQ on a Sunday morning, right as they were opening. The waitress was incredibly friendly and, after hearing it was our first visit, she seated us at a better spot just to make our day nicer--which we really appreciated. The interior has a true Western cowboy vibe--barrels, boots, stools, and tons of character on the walls. It honestly felt like something you'd see in Texas, which I really liked. We ordered the eggs benedict and omelets. The food was simple, clean, and well done--nothing fancy, but nothing to complain about either. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Overall: a great first visit with welcoming service and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving BBQ. read more

What a find!!!! I'm not a fan of barbecue places because they seem to be all unhealthy, but we heard that they have a good brunch and then when we looked up the restaurant, I was so impressed that they only use all natural ingredients. No nitrates, no fillers no artificial colors and everything is made on site I had the eggs Benedict with avocado and it was so good. My BF had the big texas breakfast. I am also a stickler for good coffee and there was freshly brewed and I give it a big thumbs up. The OJ was also fresh squeezed. The decor was amazing with all the custom pieces. Absolutely beautiful wood. For me to give this place five stars is a very high compliment because I am not a southern food person or a real western lover, but I will absolutely come back . read more

Had lunch at Ruby Red's today with my family and my sister's family. Walked in and we were seated fairly quickly. We looked over the menu and then our waitress came to take our orders. Hubby and I shared The Platter which comes with brisket, ribs, a chicken breast, pulled pork, and choice of a house or hot sausage link and two sides which we picked mac n cheese and brisket beans (couldn't decide between the brisket beans and chuckwagon chili) and we added a side of waffle fries. We asked for the Carolina and Alabama sauces but ended up liking the Ruby the most. Restaurant has a cute decor. The booths have a Christmas theme window and curtains. My sister and brother in-law shared brisket fries and they ordered a peach cobbler for dessert. Dessert was interesting topping was made of oatmeal and peach was yummy. We liked the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Chicken and sausage we could have done without. Hubby wasn't sure what he thought about the sausage. The mac n cheese and waffle fries were good but not sure how we feel about the brisket beans wondered if the chuckwagon chili would have been better. Service was pretty good don't remember the young lady's name but she refilled our drinks and Ruby sauce when asked. Hubby says he would go back to try the breakfast menu. read more
