This is the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. It started with our waitress taking our drink orders, and then forgetting to enter them for 10-15 minutes. We finally place a food order and she is no where to be found. 30-35 minutes go by and finally we have to ask the hostess where our food is. Miraculously, 30 seconds later, the hostess brings our food. All the plates were dirty and there is clearly no quality control. My medium rare steak sat so long that it came out well done. The mashed potatoes looked like a lunch lady served them with a ice cream scoop. We are all visually upset with our meals and make plenty of comments about them yet nothing was done. Absolutely not going back here. read more

My bride and I ate here on June 2nd on our way from St. Petersburg to Vero Beach. This marks our 5th visit to this restaurant. Neither of us do buffets so we rely solely on the ala carte menu. My bride had a turkey avocado burger and I had the classic burger. Neither were great but neither were poor. Our waiter, Cameron (or Camero B. as shown on the receipt), made the visit worthwhile. He was attentive, professional, and personable even though he appeared to be very busy. It is service like that given by him that will attract my return business, not the burgers. I am always amazed or confused how the ladies' restroom appears to be overlooked when it comes to cleaning or maintaining a respectable appearance. We mentioned this to the hostess as we left. Average food, very good service, great company, and poor restrooms. read more

Average at most. Pretty friendly staff. They well are working pretty consistently. Window needed some dusting thou and we had a wasp INSIDE of our window. I politely moved the baby to another table without waiting to be seated. We told the host and the helped us move to the new table. Just got the salad bar. It was ok. read more

Very friendly service. Staff was good. Drink smelled like windex . I sent it back , thinking perhaps they washed it with something. Came back a bit better but almost the same. The food was under-cooked. It's a chain, but this particular location needs complete revamping. read more

WOW! After eating here a couple weeks ago, I ordered take out looking for a great plate of ribs and on my first bite in I GOT A PIECE OF PLASTIC SO HARD IT CUT MY MOUTH!!!!!! I could've swallowed this!?! WHAT!?! How does a piece of hard plastic about the size of half a nickel get into my food? I've ordered from here before and never had a problem. This is the first time. I can't believe it. Just an FYI: Prices on the internet are NOT what they charge you when you get to the restaurant- my ribs were about $1.50 more for the half rack than what is listed online for this establishment. I also asked for sour cream, butter and shredded cheese for my baked potato and was charged an additional $1.00. The sour cream was MINIMAL and it was in the same container as the butter, which I did not like. The cheese had melted into a blob when we got home and I was unable to sprinkle it on my potato, which was the only thing I ended up eating off my rib plate (YEAH right, like you are going to keep eating after finding a huge piece of plastic in your ribs... half a rack WASTED). I was also charged extra for the white cheddar cheese Brussel sprouts, which were good, but I hate that the meal includes two sides and then I get charged more- especially with the prices not being what they are listed online. Good thing they were there though, or I would've starved tonight even though I wasn't in love with the baked potato either. :| My dining companion got a chicken tender platter and it was like a SALT bomb went off on the fries. He had me try one and it was HORRIBLE. There was SO much salt it was like the fries were rolled in it, soaked in it, and sprinkled with the spice once again. We wanted to go back to speak to a manager, but I just don't want to deal with it. Overall, we paid over $30 for inedible food that made my mouth bleed. Never paid $30 for a baked potato and some Brussel sprouts, and I won't again. I will not return. Be careful if you go here- you may end up with blood in your mouth just like I did. I am so unhappy. read more

Ruby Tuesday - The PIECE of PLASTIC!!!! I got in my first bite of my ribs. After it cut my mouth up, I didn't eat any more than this one bite. - Burgers Near Me - Bartow, Florida

See all

I love Ruby Tuesday in Bartow, FL. The ambiance is great, the service is very nice, the food is very good. I love the extensive salad bar with lots of raw food. They have listings with what's in the food. So if you're allergic to something (like I am to MSG), just ask. For a chain restaurant Ruby Tuesday is the best. read more

ruby tuesday is a great place 2 eat. amazing food. the service could be better but it's not horrible. the inside isn't always the cleanest. i would definitely clean off ur forks spoons and knifes before eating. read more

I am SO impressed at the service here. The server actually got me ONE onion ring! That's awesome that she would go out of her way to do that. The salad bar was great, the restaurant clean and the staff friendly. read more

Fast seating and service. Food was great.. I suggest the shrimp pasta.. Hubby loved the chicken and shrimp pasta.. The salad bar was epic ... clean and well stocked.. Cant wait to come back read more

I may have just had the worst experience ever. I know it's Ruby Tuesday so expectations were pretty low going in. Not sure if there was a manager there or not. Kids supposed to be working running around laughing and joking with their friends, talking on their cell phones while customers are being ignored. Food was awful, servers eating at the bar while working. One stopped in the middle of his burger and fries to run food out to customers. The little girl that appeared to be in charge walking around drinking her Mountain Dew participating in this poor, unprofessional behavior. I sent food back as it came out cold. Staff found it amusing, as well as the little girl that appeared to be in charge. Told the other workers "she had been doing this for a minute" and nothing surprised her. WOW!! read more

The food is just awful. The only saving grace is the salad bar. No wonder there is no wait here. We were really disappointed.

I use to love Ruby Tuesday's. Now I don't. They have stopped serving mozzarella sticks. This location, however has always had crappy food. They're always messing up my order. It has ruined my experiences with this place. I don't have high expectations whenever I come here because they always are ruining something but I kept coming back for the sticks! Now that they removed their one good thing, I'm never coming back. read more

I had such a great time at this restaurant. Samantha, the bartender, was attentive and very nice. Crystal, the manager, came to check on how our dining experience was going. The staff was pleasant and I loved listening to them sing happy birthday to the guests. I would recommend coming here to anyone who's looking for a good time. read more

I just love coming here. The food is good but the people are the best part of the experience. Izzy (Israel) is our absolute FAVE server. He is so friendly and bubbly and attentive. We just can't get enough of him! I don't know if he lives in Bartow, but he definitely treats us like family. #WeAreBartow is a feeling, and Izzy has it. read more

There was a group of 30 bikers that ate there 4/27/18 on our way to Leesburg bike fest from Port Charlotte. Reservation for noon, arrived at 12:05. The table was ready and we were seated right away. Both the service and food were excellent. Hat's off to the staff that took such great care of us that day. You gals did an AWESOME job!!! read more

It took 33 minutes for my pasta to arrive, and the plate was filthy around the rims. There were only four other tables of guests in the restaurant. Definitely not worth the wait, and I intend not to return. read more

Another chain restaurant that serves big burgers for a decent price. Nothing really sets these places apart much for me, they all have the above average menu's with the same type food items for the same prices, ha. But this day I did get a great burger, cooked right, and with no onions as requested, my drink was kept full, and the server was friendly and did a good job. Overall was good eats at a good price. read more

So I normally don't review chains because normally they are all the same. The food here is pretty good and the price is decent. Took them 3 tries to get a well done steak out but the manager was courteous about it. Only guff....and one that will keep me from returning....is the hostess(es). I walked in with 2 of my co workers who are black males and I'm a white female, hostess just starred at us, didn't say a word...not hello not how many, not welcome, not ya'll look strange....nothing. Akward silence and an uncomfortable stare. I actually had to initiate the conversation. I won't say anything about racism but that is not how I like being welcomed into a place I am spending money at. read more

This place is really good. We ordered Togo and the food was amazing and I will definitely order again! Our order was correct and came with everything we wanted. read more

a chain is a chain is a chain. There are better. There are worse. Convenient, good service, not fond of their food.

The food is consistently fresh and wonderful. Beautiful fresh salad bar. Best crab cakes ever! Try the spaghetti squash. I had never had it before trying Ruby's. It is amazing. Served with marinara sauce and grilled zucchini. So good and good for you, The hamburgers actually taste like a rich hamburger. This restaurant has a wonderful manager she is friendly and remembers all of her customers and most of the staff have worked there for quite awhile and they know what they are doing. We can get in and out quickly for lunch. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and you get a good meal. read more

Good food and good service!! Super glad they brought back the Typhoon Shrimp!! I really love the shrimp and grits meal!! It's super delicious! The servers are always friendly and are glad to have you there. read more

The hickory chicken bites are great!! Definitely something to try. Service is always top notch and you can tell that everyone there is well trained and courteous. This is a very well managed restaurant and definitely way better than the one in Lakeland. The manager at this restaurant goes above and beyond to provide a quality experience each and every time!! read more

Food was good. Sat at the bar. Bartender Jessica Tucker was very friendly and very helpful. She explained the promotions, gave recommendations and made us feel very welcome read more

Food is good enough, portions a little on the small side but tasty. I miss the old decor though; when they renovated the place it wasn't the same. Used to have an almost Bennigan's-eque feel to it with lots of character, but now seems to be going for the ultra-bland retro look. So, food is an A-, ambience is now a C. read more

We ate here a few times while staying in Bartow in June because the servers were just so lovely that we couldn't stay away. (I mean $20 tip lovely, people who do such a great job should not be struggling on Florida's puny minimum wage.) A couple of times we arrived 20 minutes before closing and there was never any eye-rolling or hustling us to finish our meals. The servers keep a constant supply of sweet tea coming throughout the meal and nothing is too much trouble. The food was always decent, tasty but nothing amazing. It's the South so everything is fried and covered in salt and cheese and sugar, so not a good place to go if you're counting calories. The mains are a bit expensive for what you get but the consistently great service and friendly atmosphere are worth it. read more

I love this place the staff is always friendly and helpful the salad bar is great.. I have loved every meal I have ever had here...I have been many times always a great experience.. The seating is kind of cramped but other than that I love it read more

Tenonyea was our server and she was amazing!! It was a last minute decision to eat here but everyone was very friendly the moment we walked in. Tenonyea was wonderful. Very polite and very knowledgeable of the menu. Everything was clean including the bathrooms. The manager Tonya came by to introduce herself. She was very nice and very pleasant. I'm not in Bartow a lot but really felt the need to write a yelp review on this restaurant because good service is rare these days and for anyone in the area or visiting I assure you that you will receive the same service. Even though this Ruby Tuesdays is out of our way I would definitely make the drive back just for that service alone. Great place with great service! read more

Salad bar lettuce was frozen.I asked for more lettuce and the young guy I asked threw a hissy fit about having to fill it up cussing and everything. He might have been the dishwasher I'm not sure.I kept my cool,I wanted to explode, but decided not to cause a scene.The salad bar didn't have anything really there, The bartender was nice,she gets a five star,everyone else 0 star. read more

One of the WORST rib eye steaks I've been served in a long time. For $19+ I don't expect a prime steakhouse, but the tough, thin, piece of garbage that was served was simply awful. The service was exceptionally slow, especially that the place was about 3/4 empty on a Wednesday night (27SEP). The salad bar and onion rings were good. read more

I love their salad bar. They have changed their menu recently and in my opinion much better than before.

Good server on every visit. Salad bar is always good. Hamburgers are disappointing. When Ruby Tuesday introduced the Triple Prime burgers they were great! Thick patties of juicy and delicious beef. I was willing to believe it really contained Prime grade meat. Now, the burger you get is nothing like the picture on the menu. My burger last Saturday was thin and cooked to a crisp. Totally tasteless. I ordered a Triple Prime Cheddar and it had to go back to the kitchen for cheese and mayo. The Sebring outlet is serving the same dry, thin patty, so I have to assume this reflects a chain wide lowering of quality. It is a shame because the burgers at RT used to be as good as anyone else. read more

good meal at a good price. had a small issue with sticky floors. just dont like my feet sticking to floor while getting a salad. probably spilled drink and not cleaned up properly. however waiter was great and food was good. thanks. read more

My family and I went to the Ruby Tuesday in Bartow on 5/16/16 and I ordered 3 Parmesan Shrimp Pastas and a Ruby's Classic Burger meal. I've never had a problem before until now. I did receive my 3 Parmesan Shrimp Pastas but instead of receiving my Ruby's Classic Burger meal, inside my bag was a basket that one of the employees had already eaten almost all of the food and their fork was still in the basket also. I was very disgusted. I went back inside the restaurant to have them fix the problem. The waitress thought the entire thing was funny which I did not. She proceeded to tell me that the her coworker accidentally placed her food that she was eating where the take out food was. How stupid can you be. I mean does Ruby Tuesday not have a break room. So then they brought out the food that I actually ordered and the burger wasn't even right. I just wanted my money back so that I could leave and never come back. Lesson learned and my advice to you all, please check your orders before leaving any restaurant because you just never know what you're going to find!! read more
