    We stopped by after school for lunch and milkshakes today 3/18 and this place did not disappoint! The food was fresh and hot. The burger was juicy and full of flavor. The club sandwich was so good! So good my teen stole my plate lol. My little ones enjoy their chicken tenders and milkshakes. The milkshakes were delicious!! The service was great, our server was very attentive and brought everything we needed. He definitely made our experience more enjoyable. The restaurant is a wonderful trip back down memory lane with the vintage vibe.

    This continues to be my favorite Ruby's spot. It's a shame they continue to close more locations though. This one never disappoints. The area is always upkept and clean. The service is absolutely incredible as well. We had a male server who was the most attentive and helpful person I have ever encountered without being so "in your face" about it. The food was great as well. I gotta say though, the shake stole the show for us both. My boyfriend, Daniel, ordered a coffee shake. This man doesn't really like sweets but he couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. I don't like coffee so I stuck with my usual chocolate shake and again, never a disappointment! I love this Ruby's and the staff. It's always calm, clean, and pleasant. Doesn't matter what year I go in, it has always been a pleasant experience.

    If you are craving for an old school American diner foods, Ruby's is a interesting spot that brings back those classic vibes, since something like this is getting harder to find these days with the rise of more trendy fusion spots. On a hot day, it's good way to cool down yourself with an ice cold milkshake. The Oreo cookie shake is sweet, creamy, and hits the spot, while the mint milkshake has a refreshing flavor that stands out. Service is warm and friendly, as most customers are local and seems know the servers very well. Food wise, the prices lean a little high for the quality, but it's still enjoyable. The French fries are crispy and satisfying, and kids enjoy their cheeseburger and Mac and cheese. People also came here during classic car gatherings, which is a fun local event. While milkshake contains too much sugar for both adults and kids, but once in a while, why not treat yourself?

    Excellent service. Turkey burgers so delicious. Fries so crispy and hot not like fast food fries. Chocolate and Stawberry shake very delicious. Please keep this establishment open. Whittier needs this traditional restaurant.

    We came during an off hour and it was great! Our server was really nice and made sure my friend's gluten allergy was taken care of. I got the swiss mushroom burger and it was good. The peanut butter milkshake was also delicious and really big.

    First time here after passing this diner for years. There's accessible parking in the small center,…read morewhich makes it pretty easy to get in and out. Walking inside, it definitely gives off that classic, old-school diner vibe. We were seated right away since it wasn't too busy at the time. The menu is huge, almost overwhelming, so it took us a minute to decide what to order. We kept it simple and went with the traditional pancakes, eggs, and bacon, plus a California burger. The portions were decent, but overall, the food quality was just okay. Nothing terrible, just not particularly memorable, it had a bit of that "cheap" taste to it. That said, the service really stood out. Our server was kind and patient, especially while dealing with my little one being a bit of a handful, which I definitely appreciated. Overall, I'd say it's a solid option if you're looking for a late-night sit-down spot and want to avoid fast food. While I personally wouldn't go out of my way to come back, it wasn't a bad experience. 4 stars, mainly for the friendly service, even though the food didn't quite hit for me.

That ruined my appetite ~ Then they returned it on the plate less the onion rings ~ Stating that was the issue .... NO ! The issue is I sent my plate BACK AND I SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE SNIFFING IT ~ then it being returned to me ... THATS A ISSUE . I ended up having French toast . My sister ordered the ribeye as well but she not as sensitive as I am to a fishy smell ...... Then let me mention the men s restroom .... it wasn't messy and unkept but it has a freaking smell to it . Reeking of urine !!! I've been a long time customer and it's a favorite place of mine but let's not over look the importance of have a clean restroom . Let's NOT OVERLOOK THE IMPORTANCE OF CROSS CONTAMINATION OF FRYING FISH AND ONION-RINGS. Now let me mention HOW SHOCKED I WAS WHEN A YOUNG MAN APPROACHED MY TABLE TO ASK WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DRINK ? AS I looked Up ! And seen A RING IN HIS NOSE MY FIRST REACTION WAS (EEEEEKKKKK!) Thinking WHAT THE HELL DO I NEED TO SEE THIS WHEN IM OUT FOR A FAMILY DINNER ? It's DISGUSTING !!!! I paid the bill , left a tip but I hope this makes an impact to management . I can make MORE comments on this particular visit however I'll keep it to the 3 I mentioned . As a long time customer over 40 years , tonight had to be the worst experience in my lifetime of any restaurant. To be fair , I'll try Jacks Whittier again and hopefully the bathroom is disinfected with no residual urine smell and the food I order isn't smelling like FISH . Lastly , a personal dress code put into effect of body piercings. Jacks Whittier Restaurant isn't at Venice Beach ~

Chili cheese fries hit the spot. Milk shakes!!! It's soo good! You literally see the ladies behind the counter scooping real ice cream from tubs to make their shakes.

A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for.
