    Mr C.

    Ruby Red's BBQ in La Habra is definitely an experience. The Western/saloon décor is awesome -- chandeliers, old-school decorations, the bar... there's something to look at everywhere. You can tell a lot of thought went into making this place different. The BBQ itself, per usual, was fairly dry. The flavor is there, but I'd love to see the meats come out a little more tender and juicy. The SIDES though!!! BOMB. The corn and bean combo was easily my favorite. And then came the fresh-baked cookies... way better than Crumbl. I said what I said. I also really liked seeing the note from the owners, Steve and Tammy. They explain that they smoke their meats for 16 hours, make their sides, sauces and desserts from scratch, and don't use preservatives, additives, fillers or nitrites. Steve even puts his own number there and asks customers to reach out with suggestions. Whether everything comes out perfect or not, you have to respect owners willing to put their name and number right there and actually ask for feedback. And shoutout to the bartender! I forgot his name, but he usually works the late afternoon/night shift. That dude is awesome. Friendly, attentive and makes you want to hang around for another beer. Then there's Connie. She's apparently a regular. If you see her, you have two options: avoid eye contact... or clear your schedule. If you love conversation, you just found your new best friend. Overall: awesome atmosphere, bomb sides, ridiculous cookies, great bartender, and owners who clearly care about what they're building. Just get that BBQ a little juicier and we're in business!

    Another amazing experience. Had breakfast there today with my family. The beef brisket Benedict was the best Benedict I've ever had. We shared the pancake trio too. Sooo decadent. Hubby had the pastrami Benedict. I tasted a bite of the pastrami, never had better. We celebrated 2 birthdays. Beignets on the house. We texted the owner, telling him how much we loved it and he immediately responded. This place is a hidden gem.

    2nd 2 meat combo

    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!! One other standout was they gave our table a complimentary order of beignets to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Such a nice touch!

    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.

    Ribs and brisket

    Went for my birthday because I was craving some classic American barbecue. The meat here was so good. The quality of the cuts and the seasoning and flavor were perfect! The brisket was sooo tender and the waitstaff was very attentive and kind. Inside is super warm and decorated. I definitely will come back. 10/10 would recommend!

    Brisket Benedict with potatoes

    Oh my god! The food was so delicious, went early so it wasn't busy at all and service was good. The actual restaurant itself is so cute and cozy, reminds me of red dead redemption, mismatched chairs and cool chandeliers. Got some breakfast items. Pancakes were phenomenal, and the brisket Benedict was a good choice too

    Second time here, from decor to the meat is fire . Service is good too. Both times there was a full house but no wait. So I can't truly call it a hidden gem even though it seems like it. Definitely a good place for a date or bday celebration. Need I say I'll be back?

    Service was fine, ambiance was fine. The food was just not good. It wasn't terrible, by any means, it just wasn't good. The meats were under seasoned, the brisket was not juicy, the chicken breast came out dry and lukewarm, at best. The food did not taste fresh whatsoever. The only redeeming factor was the smoked sausage was quite good.

    Saloon area at Ruby Red recently
    Hiron J.

    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!

    Inside the Peach Cobbler. Delish! $8.99.

    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.

    For 2 plate. More than enough for 3-4

    Do you serve baby back ribs?

    Hi Michael. We don’t use baby back ribs. Other restaurants do since they can cook them quickly, but our slow-smoked St. Louis ribs are even better — they’re meatier, more flavorful, and come out extra tender from our low-and-slow smoking process.… 

    Are there gluten free options available?

    The menu is available on their website. See for yourself.

    Do you offer any Brunch specials like unlimited mimosas?

    We currently do not offer unlimited Mimosas but that’s a great idea! if you were running the restaurant, what would you charge for unlimited Mimosas?

    1. What time does brunch end?

    Great question. Currently we stop taking breakfast orders around 12. However, for Easter, we will be serving breakfast through 2 PM. We may also extend breakfast options in the future depending on demand. Thanks for asking. Steve Williamson

    Do you do catering? If so, how far will you go? Our business is in Irvine near the Spectrum?

    The empanadas are really good and the coffee is delicious, I've been craving these for a while…read more It's the perfect breakfast and coffee spot They have a solid arrangement of pretty good pan dulce Every time I go in the staff is really nice I'm not sure what their hours are tho, the last couple times I try to go they were closed even tho their hours say they should be open

    Well safe to say I had a very bad experience here. I wanted to order the chorizo breakfast burrito…read morewithout the jalapeno, and the young female worker said that the chorizo already had the jalapeno in it and that's just how it comes. So I then ask for the regular breakfast burrito and she then says that's a discontinued item. So the chorizo burrito has chorizo, egg, cheese jalapeno and potato? The breakfast burrito has egg, cheese, ham and potato. But the breakfast burrito is discontinued??? Really??? Then the girl says just get the chorizo burrito and to just pick them out as I go. What???? And we ordered to eat there but our food was served in a bag and foil. Oh and I did not receive my water The burrito was small and not much flavor and we paid over $30 for this experience....we will not be coming back. Sorry

    i placed my order around 8 and it was already ready when i got there, which was super convenient. i…read morealso liked that it was kept in the fridge instead of sitting out, so everything was still nice and cold. the space itself is really spacious and has plenty of room to sit and hang out. if you're a picky eater, i probably wouldn't recommend the corn latte because it definitely tastes like corn but i actually really enjoyed it. the bold espresso paired really well with the corn flavor, and it wasn't overly sweet, which i loved. it was honestly just the right amount of sweetness. i was a little scared to try it because i saw some people saying they didn't like it, but i was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. my friend loves sweet coffee, so she got the tiger latte and added the vanilla bean cold foam, which she really enjoyed. i also downloaded the app and saw that you can earn points, so that was a nice bonus. i was skeptical at first, but i'll definitely be coming back!

    Okay so to begin, I loved my drink!! I got the sweet corn latte with oat milk instead of whole milk…read moreand I thought it was so good!! I have never had a corn latte before and I don't see it at other places so I'll definitely be coming back for this! I also tried a sip of the Smokin Spaniard, hot, and thought it was really good as well! Prices are very comparable and average to other places, nothing too crazy. So I think the drinks are great!! The lady who helped me at the register was very nice as well and great at giving recommendations! I will say though, I got the ham and cheese breakfast croissant and I was not a fan. I ordered it hot, but the outside was only slightly warm when I got it and it was very cold on the inside. Portion wise it was pretty big so portions are worth it I guess, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think there's some sort of sauce in it, I am not exactly sure, but I just didn't like the flavor! I think I'll just stick to the drinks for when I come!! The inside was really cute and very clean. I like how they have the cup holders at their stations by the trash can that way you don't have to ask or if you want an extra it's there!
