This traditional American family restaurant is just off the Mn valley state bike trail (Bluff road). One of the more bike accessible restaurants in Shakopee, no need to cross the highway. The prices are low, the food is excellent (BLT is a fave), there are milkshakes, lots of good seating, super friendly staff. read more

We are regulars and find the staff to be friendly and very helpful. The food is always fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is hospitable and welcoming. The menu has a good selection of choices and the weekly specials add a little something new. read more

Four friends went to Ruby's for lunch. The menu was varied, affordable and delicious. We asked for separate checks and at the bottom of each was a note stating that if a credit card is used there is an added price of $3.95. The print was very light, so when I read through it, I put away my credit card and opted to use cash. 2 of us didn't notice the bottom note and were not happy with seeing the extra charge when they received the bill. That extra charge should be printed on the top of the menu. read more

The bacon and hash browns tasted like they were old or cooked in old grease. It was inedible for me. The service was GREAT. The waitress did not charge me for the meal because I did NOT eat it. She took the feedback very well. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and laid back. read more

We came in a few months ago and we were sat at a booth by the hostess and no one came to our table for over 15 minutes while other guests were being served and greeted. We were in plain sight of everyone so we didn't know whether our server was on a break and didn't get their table covered or what but we just got up and left. It was so uncomfortable to be in a room of people and just completely ignored, and it was relatively embarrassing to get up and leave after other customers just stared at us waiting for any kind of acknowledgement. We had been here many times before this instance so we decided to try it again recently and it was very disappointing. The table and booth were so sticky, there was just a general layer of dirt-film over everything in our booth. Our server had to come back to our table multiple times to get our breakfast order put into the kitchen (one trip for potato choice, one trip for eggs and I still didn't even get the right kind, one trip for toast, one trip for the meat, I felt like I was being punk'd), the food was extremely underdone but somehow took forever to prepare so I really just had toast and coffee for breakfast (almost raw hashbrowns, raw onions, barely melted cheese) and it was over $50 for two of us to have breakfast with a tip. When we moved here three years ago it was one of our solid spots for a bite to eat but I don't think I'd go back again after the last two experiences. We thought the first instance was a fluke when we weren't served or even greeted after we were sat but now the food isn't really worth going back for. Used to feel like a place to bring family and now it just has a very different vibe. Servers were nice and it's got potential to reign it back in but I can't say I'll be holding my breath. Really sad to see such a decline. read more

Ruby's is the kind of diner that doesn't try to be cool--and because of that, is. It's a place where the pancakes come smiling (literally), the coffee is poured like clockwork, and the hashbrowns are always crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Their breakfast skillet? Pure Americana--eggs cracked to order, golden yolk flowing like a sunrise over bacon and potatoes. It's rich, generous, and soul-warming. This is the food of road trips and reunions. And the monthly specials? Thoughtful riffs on classics, not gimmicks. Respect. The space is clean, updated, and wide open--spacious booths, family-friendly layout, and décor that feels fresh without losing its down-home identity. Ruby's isn't chasing trends; it's preserving comfort. And it's doing it well. Service is exactly what you want from a diner--friendly, fast, no fuss. You feel seen, seated, and served in record time. read more

Our first trip to the Chanhassen outlet of the longstanding Shakopee diner was a bit underwhelming. The hamburger was as thin as a quarter and just as dry. The omelet was mediocre. That said, we will give Ruby's another try. Chanhassen needs a diner that can compete with the VFW. read more

Under different circumstance I might recommend Ruby's, but not today. It was the first time we have been to Ruby's and went for breakfast. They brought out a pot of coffee with two cups on saucers, which is always nice when they leave the pot at your table. The waitress was very kind when she took our orders. She even repeated them back to be sure it was correct, which it was. When the food came it was wrong. The egg white omelette I had ordered with no mushrooms, add bacon had no bacon at all inside. The cheese was hardly melted and instead of the side of hash-browns that was ordered it was served with a side of mixed fruit (that looked rather old). The toast was good, except it barely had any butter. The other meal was over easy eggs with bacon, hash-browns and toast. That toast also had almost zero butter, the eggs were cooked so long they were brown on the bottom side the yolk was cooked and they were even a bit tough to cut considering they are eggs, the bacon that came with that meal was burnt (like blackened burnt). I did remind the waitress that it was supposed to be hash-browns instead of the fruit, which she then took the fruit and came back a short time later with hash-browns. By then my omelette was cold, but I started to eat it. Then I discovered they forgot the bacon in the omelette as well. When I told the waitress she then came back a short time later with two strips of bacon (not blackened like the other meals was) but, after all of that everything was cold. There was no apology or discount offered. The two breakfasts with two coffees came to $39.60. We did also have ice water, which had a bad after taste, maybe it's their tap water? We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately we won't be going back here. The side of pico de dial seemed fresh and I thought that was pretty good. The coffee wasn't bad either considering they probably use the same tap water. Maybe a different one of their locations would be better? Oh, the ambiance, the booths and chairs look nice, but some of the booth seats (like the one we had) were very high. Our feet were dangling (we are 5'6" and 5'7") and for that reason the table was very low, not leaving much room for your legs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Great food. I had the country fried steak. The wait staff is friendly. And our food arrived promptly and was hot and delicious. The ambiance is casual with a touch of halloween decor. read more

For a family restaurant it's a 5. Huge portions, great food, decent service and a clean restaurant. It's quite obviously a revamped Perkins restaurant but the food is so much better. For the same price! My sister and I really enjoyed our breakfast and although I'm from out of state I'm hoping to eat there again when I visit next month. read more

Ruby's Family Restaurant - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

I'd like to give a couple stars based on what i ordered. I enjoyed my food. However my friend got an entirely different order than what he asked for. When he tried to talk to the server she rolled her eyes at him. I was completely blown away. Never in my life have I seen this happen. She was rude. Maybe alyssa should go into a different career field? Somewhere far from people and customer service. Can't say I'll go back. I absolutely hate giving a bad review but this was over the top. read more

We've been here a few times for breakfast now, as it's one of our favorites in the Savage/Shakopee area. There is a lot of seating, the dining area is nice and spacious and the wait usually isn't too bad compared to other, smaller places around. There are a lot of great options on the menu and I've tried to change it up with each visit. My faves are definitely the spinach brie frittata and the shredded beef jalapeno omelette, but they're all awesome and y'all should go here if you're craving an amazing breakfast that'll fill you up! And the hashbrowns are the absolute BEST in the south metro area, hands down! The staff can get a bit overwhelmed at times but always come through in the end read more

Great selection. Love the menu and the food! Excellent service! The interior renovation is fabulous! Beats Perkins by a long shot!

We had a group of 11 meeting for breakfast. I called, ahead, while on the road, and they had our table ready. Everyone agreed that it was a nice place and that we would do this, again. The food all came out hot and our server was very attentive to our group. Thanks read more

We used to be big fans of Ruby's but this weekend the food was mediocre at best and the salsa on the South of the Border omelette was the strangest salsa I've ever seen. It looked like it was made with bad, mushy tomato's and tasted terrible. Our server was apologetic but explained we weren't the first to wonder about it but the chef says it's good. No alternate available. I've ordered this dish for years here but haven't been in for a while. If that's the current chef's position on salsa and customer feedback, we won't be back sadly. I see they opened another one in Belle Plain. Maybe that chef needs to stop by and check in on this one. read more

The service was relatively quick and the food was hot which was a delight since so many places I order ahead from have it done way before it says the order is done on whatever app you ordered ahead from. When I initially walked in, it kind of smelled like cat pee? Which was very off putting. And lastly, where's the hollandaise? read more

These omelettes were a little sloppy, but really gooooood! And who doesn't love fresh off the griddle pancakes? The pancakes were my favorite and the steak in the omelette was filling. My hubby enjoyed his veggie omelette and said he really liked the hash browns. They did forget a few ingredients for my omelette, so I had to mention that. We thought we would try this instead of our usual breakfast spot, and it was worth switching it up. They offer a pretty large menu, and I'd like to come back to try dinner sometime. read more

The food was Amazing. I had #4 with 2 eggs, 2 bacon (delicious), and went for the cinnamon roll French Toast instead of pancakes. My partner had Corn Beef Hash, wheat toast and 2 eggs on top. Huge pieces of corn beef mixed with grilled onions, sweet peppers and hash browns filled the plate. We'll be back even a half hour plus travel... it is worth it. read more

FOOD WAS SO GOOD. Try the banana and Nutella pancakes. Very impressed by this establishment. 10/10. Will be coming back.

Reminded me of an east coast diner in a good way. Not an easy thing to find in MN. Their corned beef hash was excellent. Good service. Will go again. read more

Good food good service better than your average diner. The country fried steak is a great pick for breakfast!

Found this restaurant on the way home, what an amazing breakfast! The avocado bacon Benedict was to die for. Coffee was amazing! John gave us great service and handled everything wonderfully! Busy comforting breakfast spot! read more

I have heard good things about Ruby's Family Restaurant, but never got a chance to try the food. I had some time before an appointment so stopped by to get coffee and dessert. The atmosphere was great; I was immediately ushered to a booth, but after waiting almost 15 minutes and not being served I had to leave so I wouldn't be late for an appointment. I am giving two stars because the staff was very apologetic as I left. read more

Loved the vibe and the black chairs and booths. This place used to be a Perkins and they did a great job renovating it. Lots of people were there too. Service was great and helpful. I personally love benedicts and was suggested the Pulled Pork Benedict and it was very good. I just might have inhaled it too fast! That's how it goes when you fast all morning and exercise too tho!

The breakfast and burgers are great! Food is delicious. Too bad the food I ordered was wrong, then took 20 min to get to me, and after everyone was essentially 3/4 done eating, Finally mine showed up. And when she gave me the correct food, my food had cross contamination with my mushroom allergy that I told her about beforehand when i ordered and I had an allergic reaction. Thanks for not taking my allergy seriously...MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. If you're allergic to anything food wise, don't come here. They won't take it seriously. read more

It was my first time visiting Shakopee and had no idea what to expect when stumbling across the restaurant when looking for a late breakfast on a miserable, Minnesota spring Monday. Everything started out well as I was welcomed by our server, Rose. By the way, she stayed close by throughout breakfast amking us feel like one of the "regulars" who came and went throughout the meal. I selected the "create your own" omelet and it arrived quickly (see photo) along with a toasted English muffin. It was hot and included fresh ingredients. The cold English muffin was the only downside of the experience. Reasonable pricing, friendly and attentive service, good sized portions and a clean environment all added up to a 4-Star visit to Ruby's. As a newcomer to the town I will likely check out other places but I think other Yelpers can rely on Ruby's when in Shakopee. read more

This place was an amazing find! We were looking for a decent breakfast spot & took a chance on this restaurant. It didn't look like much from the outside but is completely remodeled Perkins. It appears to be family owned & staffed. The breakfast was out of this world with fresh ingredients & huge portions. Our server was sharp, friendly & attentive. Highly recommend this spot! read more
