The food was great! A pleasant experience with a friendly staff! Stopping by on our way home from our vacation it was a nice brunch before we hit the road. The old school "diner vibe" was a pleasant surprise. We'll definitely be back one day! read more

Ruby's holds a really special place in my heart because I grew up near one, which later closed. Now I go and visit the ones around the California Coast. This particular one is really nice inside, which wood floors and car themed decor. Really keeps the vintage vibe. I was really disappointed by the fries. I always get the basket of fries and was shocked when they came and were different! They used to be thin crispy fries. Now they're thick, still fluffy, but different. Also, our kids meal did not come in the folded classic car box as advertised, which was disappointing. Milkshakes were delicious as always. They give you the extra, so 1 order is basically 2 milkshakes. read more

-6 stars -Andrea was great as a waiter -be sure to leave a tip correctly (don't hand it to them and say "here you go", instead leave it on the table and leave with a simple "thank you") - the restaurant was very red (good ambiance) - food was okay read more

The food tasted very fresh. My apple feta salad was fantastic and my family loved their Impossible burgers. I really enjoyed the food and clean location. read more

Ruby's Diner - Enjoying her cookie dough shake. - Burgers Near Me - Anaheim, California

By far the most underrated burger place. I have yet to be dissatisfied by a menu item and I've tried many. It's just so good and for the price, 100% worth it and I can't upload photos because every time I've ordered, I EAT IT BEFORE I REMEMBER TO POST. read more

Love the old timey feeling everytime I walk into this place almost feels like a time machine. From the look and feel of the restaurant to the music playing on the house speakers 50' dinner. Service is fast 5-8 mins from ordering the milk shake was on the table 6-8 mins after that food was being delivered read more

Ruby's Diner - Ready for lunch orange 50/50 - Burgers Near Me - Anaheim, California

I recently went to ruby's diner for dinner last night and I had a fish and chips with coleslaw and tartar sauce and sprite. The chocolate cookie dough shakes are delicious and I miss the confetti cake shakes. They even got a Tesla charger for parking lot. The service is great to give us time to look at the menus. The one thing I miss is the fried shrimp in cocktail sauce as it's not on the menu anymore. On the other hand, I should probably try tater tot's, impossible burger, and onion rings next. Lastly, I would like to stop by again. read more

Terrible. Hostess ignored us and let two groups of people pass before us. Didn't bother to get a table and went to another diner.

This review is to specifically call out Tice! We came in over the weekend to have dinner with family. Didn't have to wait too long for a table. We had Tice as our server and he went above and beyond for us. He asked questions, small ones like "do you want your burger cut in half", which is rare to hear in a restaurant so it was awesome he was thinking beyond the usual questions. He was funny and very attentive. He made sure we left satisfied with the overall service and food. We had a 3 year old with us and as he was about to ask about the d-e-s-s-e-r-t, he immediately read our minds and was like "oh, just kidding , any refills?" Haha he knew if he asked, the kid would immediately want it. Anyways, Tice was awesome. Thank you for such great service. Cheers! read more

We've been craving Ruby's and happened to be in the Anaheim area so it was a no brainer. I really like this location, nice roomy and staff are really nice and accommodating. Our server Tice works his entire shift on roller skates and it's pretty cool to see him carry drinks and food trays. He's a great server, very personable and attentive. Food is typical Americana and it was exactly what this family was craving. With regards to Covid and their general practice they are adhering to the guidelines and seating people with what seems to be every other booth. Staff wears masks and hand sanitizer is available at the entry. We had a really pleasant time at this Ruby's read more

An essential must eat restaurant in Southern California. Amazing food, service and prices, Ruby's never disappoints. We looked forward to our meal as we stepped back in time to a true diner experience. Our server Tice was fantastic and the food was served fresh and delicious. In the parking lot you will find quite a number of Tesla Fast Chargers. Don't miss this wonderful SC tradition. You will have your tasty food eaten before the charge is done. read more

Stephanie was our server for lunch on 9-20-20 in the midst of the pandemic and en route on a road trip to Lake Tahoe. My travelling companion and I enjoyed Stephanie's friendly and COVID-sensitive service. As we were not planning a leisurely meal, she briskly served our shakes, fries and burgers, which we consumed with great enjoyment. Everything was delicious! Everything was also very clean, including the bathroom, which was immaculate. The decor at Ruby's is a colorful diner and the ambience is casual and fun. Good for families, dates and groups. Ample parking in their lot and easy freeway access. Also convenient gas stations very nearby if you are on a road trip. read more

I always order different salads to go . They give you a hefty amount actually enough for 2 people. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming when I pick up my order. Very convenient to go in while I'm charging my EV . The restaurant always looks clean and has that 50's theme read more

A classic. I've been so sad that the locations in LA county have all closed. If you want Ruby's pretty much Orange County is your only chance. Parking is big and plenty. Location is great in size. Staff is attentive and friendly. Food is classic American. Kids get a paper cardboard car to assemble. Cool colors and designs. My kids loooooooooooove that. You'll see many Disneyland goers since it is so close. Get a shake, enjoy the atmosphere, and relish in this classic of a diner. We also did the free itty bitty sundae with the Yelp check in. I was impressed. It was not as itty bitty as I thought. yay! read more

Love this place very much! I wish I can give more stars! Been here several times and it's NEVER a disappointment! I love the theme of this place with cute uniforms and mannerisms from the servers. It really makes you feel like you traveled back in time. The food is always fresh and made to perfection! Must try!! read more

I love diners so I was excited to come here. We needed to charge our Tesla and this place is right next to the chargers. Patty melt with tots, chicken tender basket with fries, the ranch, chicken sauce. Everything was 10 out of 5. Great service as well. Our server looked like she was transported back to her teenage years when listening to the music, which maybe makes her enjoy her job even more since it probably makes her feel young again. Great time read more

This location has become a weekend staple for my family. My 80 year old grandpa loves to dine here for the friendly service, delicious food and great music. He sings along to all the songs. Breakfasts are consistently fresh here. The breakfast potatoes are some of the best around. I often come here alone on my lunch break and I definitely recommend the Chinese chicken salad. With all these changes this past year, we have dined both indoors and on the patio. I can attest that all covid protocols are being strictly enforced, This the place to come to feel safe and eat a great meal. This location is definitely nostalgic and fun, and my husband and I look forward to each time we bring my grandpa here. read more

The food and service were great. The ambiance was great, too. Awesome Tesla charge spot!

It is a hot day 93+ degrees! Pokémon GO has the "Fest Makeup Day" from 11am to 2pm, so we decide to visit Ruby's Diner before heading over to downtown Disney to catch Pokémon. 1st thing I noticed was a wonderful patio area, and the cool music playing in the background. The patio seating is spacious and the area is covered. I found the space relaxing. This location has a carhop area, most of it is shaded; with luck a person can park in the shade and eat in their vehicles and enjoy a meal. (coincidently, I had an opportunity to chat with the owner) I had the opportunity to convey to him my perspective about the carhop area) he was very positive and thankful on my feedback. As I do think that if all those "carhop" area spots had full shade it would be better, especially on these super hot days! As noted from my 1st impression, the noteworthy aspect of this particular restaurant are the beautiful patios. People are in need of fresh air, everyone is stuck at home breathing AC, and granted it is hot outside, it was truly wonderful to enjoy lunch in a relaxing environment. *PLEASE NOTE: the restaurant is beautiful inside, but because of covid-19 no one is eating inside the restaurant, therefore, my comments are BASED on the patio accommodations this restaurant has made to comply with covid-19) NOW when it comes to food, I am very very very VERY particular about how my hamburger should be cooked. Most times, when it comes to eating a burger at a restaurant, I'm always somewhat disappointed. As I always want the meat well done, and if the meat is overcooked then it becomes hard and dry. When the server brought my plate, I was happy to see that the meat looked well cooked, and when I took the 1st bite, I knew it was cooked to perfection: juicy, cooked perfectly, and tasty!! Shakes are always AMAZING at Rubys so I won't go into details on that. Instead, I do want to make an observation regarding face mask. As we all know, restaurants require for their staff to wear a mask. At the same time, masks eliminate that human connection we get when we are greeted with a smile. I was delighted to see that each employee had a personalized mask. Allowing the servers to connect with their customers by displaying a portion of their personalities. CONNECTIVITY is key during these confusing times, having something to relate to is in my humble opinion crucial to maintaining a sense of familiarity. As I do think business can be selective on personals mask, as in, if they are going to wear a non uniform mask, they should wear items that are non political or offensive but more in a spectrum of colorfulness and commonly related topics. (obviously these are personal opinions, someone may feel its necessary to have uniform mask, as for now, I do think this Ruby's location has elected a fun way to keep their business feeling comfortable in a "homelike"' welcoming environment. SIDE NOTE (as mentioned above, the plan was to eat then leave to find Pokémon) instead, since the environment was super welcoming, and THE LOCATION has plenty Pokémon, we decided to Pokemon GO at Ruby's! Overall.. A+ food A+ experience read more

Ruby's Diner - Egg White Omelett - Burgers Near Me - Anaheim, California

Dined here a couple of days ago. Outdoor dining is available. I ordered the breakfast grilled cheese. Great tasting, filling breakfast. The sandwich was served on toasted sourdough bread and included eggs cooked over hard style with 2 kinds of cheese, avocado and chipotle mayo which was delicious. It came with a side of Ruby's spuds which were cooked perfectly. If you check in on Yelp you get a free "itsy bitsy " sundae free. Our server was very attentive and friendly. He made sure we had all the condiments we wanted. This was on Monday 10ish and they were pretty busy. On a past visit we tried the peanut butter cup shake...absolutely wonderful. read more

I have been coming to this diner for the last couple of years, and being in the food business myself for 50 years. I must say the food here is excellent. Carne Asada torta is a 10. Mexican combo with the chili relleno, fried Asada taco and chicken enchilada is off the hook. the cheeseburgers are absolutely the best in town and I would measure them to In-N-Out burgers. The prices are more than fair and the service is good and the place is clean my favorite restaurant in town. read more

What a gem! We've never gone to this Ruby's location. It is around the corner (literally) from Disneyland. Had we known we would have been coming here more often. First off, I HAVE to give mad props to our server, Tice! This guy was super polite, friendly, and even sang the Ruby's official Birthday Song to our son! Apparently, not a lot of servers know that song. Thank you, Tice! This Ruby's location looked more like diners did back in the 40s. Not just from the decor, but the architecture as well. This location also has an outdoor dining space, but what is also cool is that the parking area also allows you to eat in your car like the good old drive-ins. Plus, you can listen to the music that is playing in the restaurant since there are speakers out there. Our order- 2 Classic Burgers, a Hickory Burger, a Guacamole burger, and an Adult Mac N' Cheese- a grilled cheese sandwich with 2 cheese and a tomato soup to dip it in! All of us had their shakes (Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate, Vanilla and Butterfinger). We left in such a good mood! The best part of this dinner was we were seated right away. There was no wait! We will definitely be back!!! I think after our Disneyland visits, we will be eating here instead! read more

Good food good service nice restaurant cool on the inside and close by my hotel. .

Went here with my group for malts/shakes, just to be informed that they were out of ice cream. I was willing to wait the estimated 15 minutes they told me it would take to get more ice cream. 55 minutes later we finally get our melted poor excuse for shakes and malts. The front staff was friendly, which is why I am not giving a one star review, but the food preps in the back don't know how to make malts yet, and I could not recommend this Ruby's to anyone, at least for ice cream. I went to a Ruby's in Carlsbad and it was great, very surprised at the difference I've seen in this particular location. Maybe it will get better with time, but I won't be back to find out. Not out of spite, but because this place is over 8hrs of driving away from where I live. Weigh all your options before going here, and good luck. read more

So cute and fun. The food was good and the lady was nice to talk too. I would be back and. You can charge your Tesla while you eat!

Haven't been here since last year. The customer service isn't what it used to be. The waitress seemed very impatient when looking over the menu. My main reason to going to Rubys was because they had an amazing veggie patty. They no longer carry it but had the impossible burger. That was my first time trying it and it was disgusting. Way too salty. I maybe ate a quarter of it because I couldn't handle the horrible taste. There was nothing they could do since I already took some bites out it. Fine, this vegetarian won't be coming here anymore. read more

This is a gorgeous historic location in Anaheim and the staff is unbelievably courteous and friendly. Always great service! That being said... We haven't been there for about 8 months, and we noticed a big change in their offerings. The beignets, which they are pretty known for, are markedly smaller in size and we're overcooked. The food quality seems to have diminished as I'm not sure if they're cutting costs, or what. We had pancakes (always good) and huevos rancheros. The food was good but overall portions were smaller. So not sure what's going on....but the beignets were tiny. read more

This past Saturday, Lincoln's Birthday my wife announced she was off to Ruby's to meet the 'women' from Church. This obviously left me out so asked, meekly, can you bring me home a burger Please? I asked for the Classic, with a fried egg. Oh my Goodness. It was wonderful. I cannot comment on the service, although it took several hours to find it's way homevto me.But I will say I have never had a bad burger or a porr Malt from Ruby's. I was very Happy. read more

The burger had nothing really special to it, it tasted like a regular burger and so did the fries. Best part of the burger was the jalapeños I added on to it to give it a more juicy feeling.overall a pretty average meal which was worth a 3/5 but the waiter was really nice and we felt very connected to him which made it a 4/10. read more

Hot. No air was circulating in this restaurant. We had to wait a long time to be seated, finally an unfriendly manger came to the front to seat us. The tables are very low, the booths are small. Crowded and very bright lit. I can't comment on the food because we were very uncomfortable so we left. read more

We came for lunch.. rather than aimlessly driving around or Yelping for an hour, my husband noticed the cute retro looking diner and decided to do a u-turn and stop. I'm kinda glad he did. The interior here is so cute! It has that retro diner feel, without the vomit campy decor that usually comes with the territory. No baby blue booths and pepto pink tables, not too much chrome and no overload of Coca-Cola signage. It's cute, actually kinda elegant, and SPOTLESS. So clean. So happy. The service was also great.. very friendly and prompt. We all had burgers (it felt fitting)- two meat and one veggie. Each with a different twist to our fries. They have garlic or cajun seasonings. I usually don't do ranch but theirs surpassed my love for mayo- I kept stealing dips.. it's really good. The milkshakes here are great- probably the best thing we ordered. He did double vanilla and I shared a caramel shake - both were much better than normal! read more
