    cute bar seating
    Sunny P.

    the food i would give a 3.5. maybe a 3. im being generous i think my experience wasn't bad or anything but this is a chain operation that used to be a much bigger operation in california statewide.... many of them closed so it's def a nostalgic relic of the past.. you pretty much just eat here for the diner vibes! i got the classic burger and it was pretty mid. the patty did not taste fresh and it was well-done. nobody asked if i wanted medium but i also don't think it would have tasted much better even if it hadn't been overcooked. the ambiance and the decor are cute! it's like eating at a place inside disneyland. the fries were good - but nothing special! i wish it wasn't salted so much! srsly. too much salt! my husband got the breakfast deal that's available from m-f and that was a really good deal at 8.99 - comes with cinnamon french toast, a little eggs (it looked to be 1.5 eggs lol), slice of bacon. forgot to take pics of food but it's whatever haha

    Rubys in Anaheim - You can't go wrong with their shakes! Burgers were little greasy and lacks flavor. I was disappointed in the tater tots. Service was great. Clean restaurant. Fair prices. Casual family dining. Plenty of parking. Easy to find.

    What's left of my 2Egg Breakfast. SO yummy!

    The family wanted brunch on our last day of vacation. SIL found Ruby's and we said why not?! Classic diner with all of the mementos, fun atmosphere. You have a choice of how to dine, stay in your car and have your meal delivered by a carhop, inside dining room or outside on the patio. They also have a counter to sit at inside. We chose to dine inside. When we walked in it was quiet with only a few other diners. By the time we left the place was filling up. We were greeted by a very friendly server who took our drink order and returned with them in a flash. SIL ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast, daughter the Breakfast Burrito, hubs the Buttermilk Hot Cakes breakfast, and the 2 Egg breakfast for myself. The portions are huge! None of us were able to finish our meals! Everything was so good, service was incredible! Definitely a place to try!! I'm just sad we didn't find it on our first day of vacation!

    My son and I visited mid-afternoon on a Sunday. Plenty of parking available in the parking lot even with the number of Tesla chargers out there. Acknowledged fairly quickly after walking in and seated shortly after that. Absolutely love the all-American diner vibe with the music to go with it. We chose Ruby's because they had breakfast all day. Learned that some breakfast items aren't available after 11:30am but they still offer a pretty big selection. I ordered the cinnamon roll french toast with scrambled eggs and ham. My son has the super burger with tater tots. Everything was exactly as expected. We also saw a Monday night special that offers 2 free regular shakes with the purchase of 2 burgers so we'll be back.

    A Nostalgic All-American Diner with Great Vegan Options! There's something so special about an all-American diner, and Ruby's captures that nostalgic charm perfectly! Even though this location is close to home, I hadn't been here before--but I'm so glad I finally did. It was such a fun experience! As a vegan, I was happy to see that they had great options for me. I ordered the Beyond Meat burger, and the best part? I could swap that patty into any of their burgers, which gave me plenty of choices. Meanwhile, my best friend enjoyed a classic American-style breakfast, and he loved every bite. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what really stood out was the service. The servers were so friendly and attentive, and the manager working that day went above and beyond--super helpful, kind, and truly made us feel at home. You can never go wrong with a classic diner experience, and Ruby's does it right! Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast or a delicious burger (vegan or not!), this spot has something for everyone. Can't wait to come back!

    My burger and fries!  It should be called the yummy burger!
    Lisa F.

    Yum and Yum!! I haven't eaten there for a while and so glad I went back! I looked over the menu and I couldn't decide since everything sounded good. I settled on the Classic Cheeseburger and fries. Can I tell you the food was everything I was hoping for. The burger was delicious, juicy and done perfectly! The fries were amazing! The seasoning was so good. I wanted more! The service was good. The servers were very nice and helpful. We sat on the patio since my friend had her dog with her. The patio is okay with dogs!! Just check in and let them know you have a dog and will sit on the patio... The restaurant was very nice and clean. If you don't know what to eat for dinner, I highly suggest you check out Ruby's Diner. Everything on the menu looks and sounds yummy! I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Eat inside the diner or ordered food while charging through the QR code in the parking lot, really cool and convenient feature. Nice and clean diner with old school vibes. Great service and nice staff.

    Cinnamon Roll French Toast w/ 2 scrambled eggs and 2 slices of bacon

    Omg. This Ruby's Diner was amazing both mornings I came here to grab breakfast. The French toast was sweet and savory- such a delicious treat for a morning meal to fuel me for a long day in the Disney park- but very well worth it! The restaurant was clean, servers were friendly, and the servings are on the larger side. Sadly the sign on the door said the location (on Lincoln) is closing the 27th of July 2025 . That's sad, because this diner is a gem!!! Let me tell you, if you haven't had their Chocolate shake, you're missing out.

    Nice diner

    Got greeted and seated right away. We ordered chilli cheese fries as an appetizer, it's a big portion! Good for about 4 people. We ordered the hickory burger and it was delicious! The burger is huge! Overall, the service was on point(Sophie our waitress was great!), the diner is clean and well kept, and all of our food was fresh, hot and delicious.

    I've been a customer in the Anaheim location since 2013 I believe maybe longer. It's always been delicious the cherry coke is amazing. I get the cherry sprite and the classic burger. this place has a special place in my heart and will forever be a treat when I'm in the mood for a burger and cherry sprite. Service is always amazing never disappoints

    Order to go after I got home.  It was hot out, so the milkshake melted a bit. Also, Yelp need's a rotate picture option.

    Hadn't been here in a while as it's a little out of the way but stopped here today to get some food to go. I'm sure there's an app where I could have ordered ahead, but I just went in and told the girl behind the register I wanted an order to go. She gave me a menu, waiting until I was ready, and took my order with no problem. She asked if I wanted some water while I waited, but then I decided to throw in a diet coke instead, which she got for me about a minute after I paid. In the days a cell phones, waiting just doesn't seem as long since I was playing a game, after checking in on Yelp of course. I ordered a milkshake with the 2 meals so when my food was brought out, she offered a drink holder for my 2 drinks. I love it when I don't have to ask for things like that. Sadly, traffic issues slowed me trip back home with the food, as the milkshake slowly melted in the 80+ degree hit coming through the front wind shield. Not even A/C is going to prevent that from happening. Getting home, the food was nicely packed and protected for the drive. Unfortunately, the fries also ended up only being lukewarm. Not Ruby's fault, just a matter of fact. The food was as I've expected over the years coming to Ruby's. Everything is getting pricey so expect to spend $20/person with a drink and a meal. Even so, this will always be my favorite Ruby's because of the historical nature of the building.

    A lot has changed at Ruby's. The fries are now fatter and less crispy. The burgers seem shrunken. The available flavors of shakes has decreased. The service tonight was indifferent. The ambiance is still charming though we felt we were being rushed to leave. Would I recommend? No. It could be so much better.

    Ruby's hasn't changed! I love the classic diner feel that ruby's has, it's theme and quality has been maintained over the years. While other restaurants change to keep up with the times, I love that Ruby's is just as I remember it growing up. Their burgers are delicious and are sure to satisfy your cravings, their sides are always fresh too. On our last visit we tried the chili fries, yum! Their staff is always welcoming and attentive, we really enjoy this location and visit monthly. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

The door is very well hidden, I thought it'd be in a basement around the corner or something. The space is really small, so big groups are not advised. I had the niña fresa, a strawberries and creme type drink. Delicious! If you like sweet drinks, otherwise do not get it. I had the Saturn afterwards. Still a little sweet, but mostly sour. The server came by to say that we only had 25 min left, so we hurriedly ordered a last drink. But when he delivered it, it magically became 5 min! I chugged my drink and was ushered out the door. Overall it was pretty nice but I didn't enjoy having to rush at the very end.

If you want just cute pictures and just a great ambiance then you'll be fine coming here. I was between giving 2 and 3 stars for this place. I can't deny this was a cute place. $45 a setting... I didn't see the value. I think this place would be better for just pure brunch rather than tea.

It's clear why they've been a local staple for 11 years this is the original location, and you can really taste the legacy in every dish. We learned that the menu features the favorite recipes of the owner's husband (you'll see his photo on the wall!), and there's a real sense of heart put into the cooking. Everything we ordered was served piping hot and clearly made-to-order. The Menu Highlights: Starters: The fried pickles are a must-order huge, crispy, and battered to perfection. The cornbread muffins with honey butter are a great comfort touch. Mains: My husband went for the smothered pork chop meal with black-eyed peas, which were deeply flavorful and 'soulful' in the best way. My son loved the generous portion of chicken tenders, and my hot wings were a standout the mild sauce is honestly some of the best I've ever tasted. The Surprise Star: I'm still thinking about the garlic fries. They were unapologetically, perfectly garlicky. The Experience: Beyond the food, the service here is top-tier. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, from the person who took our order to our server, who shared the history of the restaurant with us. The space is surprisingly roomy with both comfortable indoor and outdoor options. We'll definitely be back!
