    Part of the menu on 7/14/25

    Its been a while since my last visit and I was searching for happy hour deals. When Ruby Tuesday come up as having a burger and drink special I knew I was in. I was honestly impressed. I had a mushroom and Swiss smash burger, tots and the salad bar with a nice cold beer cheaper then most places and I was not one bit disappointed. In and out in less then an hour with an impressive salad bar is really A-OK in my book. Deal for deal its hard to beat at $12.99. I suggest to not overlook this staple on 86th street.

    Stopped in for an early lunch between softball games. Was able to get seated right away. Server was busy but the bar tender jumped in and served us drinks. Order went in and was back to us in about 15 minutes. Food was good flavor and as expected. Good ambiance as the staff was happy and were enjoying their work day.

    Jalapeno Bacon Queso Burger

    4.25* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 5* Service: 4* 07/24/2023 A co-worker visiting Des Moines was hungry for a salad bar and asked about Ruby Tuesday. He got me thinking about the salad bar, so I enjoyed that (way too much actually...left stuffed) along with a $3 Margarita (see picture). I absolutely love the dark bread buttery toasted croutons - especially when they have just been brought out and are warm! There aren't as many salad bars around anymore, but this place has one of the best. My friend had the Jalapeno Bacon Queso Burger (see picture) along with the salad bar. He loved the salad bar, but preferred his bacon more crispy and found the bun to be a little on the soggy side (possibly due to the queso). It is tough to beat this place for value and it has a decent selection at the salad bar - all of which I found to be fresh. This is a solid stop for your budget, especially if you go with the Daily Specials.

    Hickory Bourbon Salmon
    Brian K.

    Food probably 4 star but the service ruined our experience. Quick seating, pretty small place but clean. Took at least 10 mins to get helped, drinks came out quick and took our meal order, then poof disappeared for 45? Mins till bill time. Kitchen staff delivered food and that's it, no checking on meal, drink refills, zero contact. Bourbon Salmon was nicely done, and the zucchini was cooked through properly, even the rice was good. Burger was average but came with large order of fries. No dessert because it was never offered.

    Conveniently placed though not taken empties

    IMO, 1st day for Sunday buffet brunch - worth trying after some improvements. Made to order Waffles, omelettes (didn't try) eggs/cheese eggs cheese hash browns - 3 Spinach eggs Benedict - 4 pretzel/egg/brisket sliders - brisket was dry/chewy, sauce was great, fix the brisket and great item - 2.5; 4 + with better brisket b&g's - didn't try as biscuits very soft, gravy looked heavy flour Bow tie pasta with peas, white sauce -, needed stirred from the bottom for sauce - 3+ mashed potatoes - 2 chicken strips - same from menu but not crispy from being in warmer - 2 Chinese chicken and rice - again not crispy from being in warmer, good flavor of chicken, rice dry 2.5 sautéed vegetables - 4 sausage(no casing) - 3 break fast pizza (1/2'd sausage links or bacon with egg/cheese - needed a sauce drizzle or sauce on the dough, as was dry and blah - 2 fruit, muffins many deserts: Pumpkin Cheesecake -5 Red velvet cake - dry, good frosting- 2.5 Blondie - 3 Streusel cake - 3 Caramel rolls - 5 Brownie - 3 Oreo desert bar - 4 Also parfaits and other deserts

    We went in on a Thursday At 12:30. There were only 2 tables in the restaurant at that time. there were 4 of us in a booth. I think our server's name was Kiley she did a great job. She brought drink refills promptly. The good came out in a respectable time frame and was good. I had the crispy chicken sandwich with tots and a side of honey mustard dressing for dipping everything. no one had any complaints. they offered us real silverware or prepackaged plastic ware. it was so awesome to go sit on a restaurant. I sure hope things pick up for them though. It did appear that they have a limited menu. Go give them a shot.

    To go order of Full-Rack Baby-Back Ribs with steamed broccoli and baked potato.

    Very nice atmosphere and friendly service. Yet everytime we go the food is only average. Not our first pick to have date night.

    Returning to The Urban Grill was wonderful and brought back memories, especially after five years…read moreof not traveling to Branson, MO. Memories of conversations with the owners, memories of the excellent dishes and good wines. Going back felt like time stood still, but believe me, time does. After hours of driving from Branson, MO, we were able to recharge, and I also want to emphasize Danielle's professionalism and warm welcome. I hope and wish there will be another visit. I won't say goodbye, but rather, until next time.

The place was packed (which is why we chose the bar), but we weren't disappointed. The restaurant/bar was well maintained and decorated - with a nicer type of vibe. People were dressed in anything from jeans to dress pants, to dresses, to suits. It fit all types of attire, but could certainly be the perfect date night spot. The food looked and tasted amazing. I didn't even get a chance to take any photos! We shared the chicken and Brussels sprouts, opting for extra Brussels instead of rice, and I have to say, these were the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, coated in sauce, not raw or charred. We also had the French dip with sweet potato fries and some of the sauces the bartender recommended. It was fantastic, not greasy or heavy, and the bread was perfectly soft. One of our sides was the chicken tortilla soup, which was also delicious. No complaints from start to finish. We'll definitely be returning whenever we're passing through the Des Moines area!

It was getting to be dinner time, so asked my wife to meet me here for my last stop. Every time we've stopped here, we have been impressed with the quality of the food and tonight was no different. I had already enjoyed some Happy Hour specials at another venue, but my wife hadn't yet eaten dinner. She ordered the Gyro & Fries (see picture) and as you might guess, I did try a couple of bites. We both thought it was a very good gyro and were delighted to see that it is the daily special each day from 11-2, so we will definitely be coming back for lunch some day.

Don't tell him I went without him :) Anyway, I'm glad the wife and I gave it a try. We walked in at 5:30 on a Friday and it was busy. We didn't wait but for a few minutes and had a table. The greeter was very friendly and our server was super nice and pleasant to have as a waiter. His recommendations were spot on. The whole restaurant was hopping busy but operating very smoothly. Not a quiet place, a true sports bar ambiance. The wings were very very good. Maybe some of the better ones I've had here in town. The gyro was fantastic, and huge. Great value. The wife's flatbread was great too. Excellent food all the way around. Prices for very reasonable. Happy hour helps some of the prices for sure, but still a well priced establishment. We are fans of this place and will most certainly be back.

We were treated so wonderfully and our waiter and the general manager went above and beyond to make us happy. Our wonderful waiter Derek welcomed us and was excited to learn that this was our first visit. He was friendly and helpful and seemed genuinely interested in helping us choose something on the menu that we would enjoy. I decided to get a supreme pizza because I like a lot of toppings on my pizza and my husband got the cavatelli because he was in the mood for pasta. The food came out extremely fast. Unfortunately, I didn't like my pizza very much because the center of the crust was very limp and droopy and the toppings fell off because they were kind of heavy. The outer edge of the crust was crispy but the middle of the crust seemed like maybe it needed to be cooked longer. I felt like the pizza should have been better. My husband loved his cavatelli and gave me a bite. I agreed that it was very good. I was wishing that I had ordered that, too. When Derek came and checked on us, I debated on whether I should say something about the pizza. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. He could probably see the disappointment on my face. He said he really wanted to know what we thought about the food so I told him I was disappointed with the pizza. He was very understanding about it and said he didn't like his pizza droopy either. But we told him the cavatelli was excellent. It was a little bit sweet with the right amount of spiciness. A few minutes later, Courtney the general manager came to our table and apologized about the pizza. She was truly sorry about the pizza and even said she talked to the chef about cooking it longer but he said it might burn the pizza if they did that. And it had so many toppings on it that it might not make a difference on the crust. So she wanted me to pick something else on their menu for free. I was going to decline but she insisted, so I chose the cavatelli. They made it for me and brought it out quickly. We appreciated everything Derek and the GM did to make it up to us which really wasn't necessary. They went above and beyond. I felt bad about it but they wanted our first visit there to be great. Then when Derek brought our bill to us, we saw that they comped both the pizza and the extra cavatelli. So they were only charging us for my husband's meal. AND Derek brought us a free dessert. My husband and I were flabbergasted. They did way more for us than they should have. We have never been treated so well at a restaurant before. I didn't think that restaurants and waitstaff like this existed. It seems like since Covid, when you go to restaurants, they're understaffed or the workers don't seem like they want to be there and barely acknowledge you. But here they bend over backwards to make sure you're happy. I love that and appreciate everything they did. The atmosphere is casual yet upscale. It feels cozy and welcoming, too. There is outdoor seating as well. Believe me, we will be back and we'll tell our friends about this place. If you love excellent service and good food, please check this place out..
