Amazing food and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is a great place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A place that I will come back to enjoy it greatly

My husband and I absolutely love everything about Ruby's! We eat there often throughout the week - sometimes having breakfast and lunch the same day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere feels like dining with family and friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers are the best - making you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door! There's a wonderful variety of food choices everyday and if you don't have room for dessert, take some home!!! I hope you will visit them soon - you'll be happy you did. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dropped in a beautiful fall afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Welcome and sit where you like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My wife chose a corner booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waitress arrived and we both ordered water. She returned and took our orders. She ordered chicken and dressing, green beans, greens, and apples, I ordered the squash, okra, potatoes, as well as chicken and dressing. We both asked for jalapeño corn bread. Our meals were delivered hot and fresh. Great meals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good ambience and a wonderful staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is good, wholesome food. read more

The restaurant is full of locals and regulars (or so it would seem). That is a good sign in my opinion. The food was simple, but cooked well, the service was prompt, and the food was good! The ambiance is simple and clean. If I am ever back in the area I will stop by for some good food. read more

Food, veggies, service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quaint little place run by real people that care![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would recommend to anyone!

A treasure! Wisecracking, warmhearted servers, mostly locals, excellent food, low prices. If I lived nearby it'd be dangerous--the portions are big to boot. Definitely a return-to spot next visit to Nashville. read more

Great service. Great food. Cute country place and atmosphere. The biscuits are amazing. The potato's are fire. The omelette was delicious. They kept my coffee on warm and refilled. Super nice people. Also the patio area is adorable and dog friendly. I will definitely be going back! read more

Ruby's Kitchen At Masons - My great lunch, with great service and a great banana pudding! - Southern Near Me - Goodlettsville, Tennessee

Visiting the area feom out of town, stopped in on a Tuesday at 11:11. Yelp shows they are open until 3. Giant "Breakfast" sign in their front window but we were told that they move to lunch at 11. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bummer because the place looked like an amazing breakfast gem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our first time there. Just found by searching for breakfast shops. Our waitress was super nice and welcoming. She was so sweet with our 3 year old. Gave him something to color and draw on. Had him write his name on a paper and placed it on a wall so everyone can see. We will come back when we will be close to Nashville. read more

Small place with a warm atmosphere Wait staff was attentive and so friendly Food was tasty and plentiful. Came to the table quickly and nicely warm A big shout out to Becky our waitress for making brunch so fun! Thanks also to the K&K girls from the kitchen for the lively conversation with Kathy and the rest of us read more

If you love traditional home cooking then Ruby's is the place. It is our favorite breakfast spot in Goodlettsville. The food is good and the portion sizes are generous. The staff is the best, they are amazing. Ms. Becky makes you feel like you are in your mother's kitchen. If your looking for a home-cooked meal check out Ruby's, you will not be disappointed. read more

Always have Great Service. Food is consistently Good and it's a cozy little Mom & Pop stop for comfort food

Good country cooking with great and friendly service . Small hometown restaurant with good value and quality. Deserts are homemade. Breakfast all day. Expect a smile read more

Nothing was wrong. Service was perfect. My server was friendly and expeditious. The food is plain but tastes homemade. They don't have sourdough toast and no veggies in the home fries. The decor is sweet, modern country. Don't expect a coffee refill. It doesn't seem to occur to them. read more

Ruby's Kitchen At Masons - Eggs home fries rye toast - Southern Near Me - Goodlettsville, Tennessee

Really cute place staffed by amazing people! Great food! Everyone in our party liked everything they ordered, and everyone was so nice. We came here for a Mother's Day outing, and it was a sweet time and very nostalgic! read more

I am sure it use to be a good place because the restaurant and waitresses are charming. The food was substandard and grits were cold.

I was excited to try this place for the first time, unfortunately I wont be returning. My husband received his order 20min after we ordered, and mine never came. Our waitress never checked on us, no one acknowledged our table, nothing. Literally nothing. After waiting an additional 25 min and trying to flag down someone, anyone, to find out about my order I was told that it would be ready in a few minutes if I wanted to wait. Seriously?? My husband had finished his meal and we had both been sitting waiting for 10min after he was done. I left having not eaten and I will never return to this horribly run restaurant. I've tolerated bad service before, and I know that businesses are struggling to find good help. This was above and beyond just bad help, it's a bad restaurant. read more

When I was healthy and able to drive, I really enjoyed eating at Ruby's, and I wish they delivered. I know from past experiences that their homestyle cooking is delicious. read more

So good! We were passing through on our way to Ohio. Found Liz's but that was a mistake. They were rude and didn't care if we were there or not. Left and found Ruby's! I had the BEST cheeseburger. My husband had spicy fried chicken, squash, pinto beans. All the food was great. The entire staff was friendly and so glad to see us. I highly recommend Ruby's Kitchen at Mason. read more

so a friend and I visited Ruby's because they were open and had a working dine during the Covid. We Both ordered the Beef Tips and Noodles with two sides so what came back was pork (prob. from a can) and overcooked noodles. At 10 bucks of plate the food was not worth it. won't be coming back also there is trash and debris outside the restaurant looking very dilapidated. read more

This is a sweet little place! We came for breakfast and everything was delicious. The pancakes were especially good, and the coffee too (which I find kind of a gamble in any breakfast place). Super friendly staff. Loved it! read more

This place is filthy, grubby, and has food safety issues. You could scratch your name in the filth on the chair backs. The ceilings to floors are visibly nasty. They use plastic baskets to serve food, but they don't wash/sanitize them between customers. Bare hands that just bussed tables touching biscuits. The kitchen staff was rubbing their runny nose mid food production. read more

Great food and home atmosphere. I had a veggie omelet and home fries. Delish!!!! Gotta stop in.

Today was my first time to eat at Ruby's Kitchen in Goodlettsville, TN and I was very impressed. All of our food and desserts were delicious, well presented, good portions, and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is casual, comfy & clean and all of the staff were attentive, professional, knowledgeable and professional. They have gift certificates available today and accept ITEX and other Fraser dollars. We will all be back. read more

Stopped for breakfast during Memorial Day weekend. They served my dad rancid ham, we passed a piece around the table and it smelled like feet. My French toast was soggy and barely cooked, couldn't eat the centers. Can't believe my dad actually paid and tipped. read more

Sorry, but it was fair at best. Sausage had zero taste, pancakes were "grainy". Husband enjoyed his bacon, eggs and grits. While he was happy with his selections, I was not really pleased. We may give it another try. read more

First time there but will be back when I'm in Nashville area! Great home cooking, excellent service and great prices.

Other reviews were very misleading. I came in thinking it was going to be amazing, but the food was just good. We ordered 2 "meat and two" dishes: hot fried chicken with mac & cheese and fried okra, and roast beef with gravy with turnip greens and pickled beets. The chicken was excellent, and you really can't mess up anything fried or pickled so the fried okra and pickled beets were great. Everything else was bland. Loved the cherry cobbler! They weren't the warmest bunch of people, but polite. The bill was super cheap; so for a quick fix on the way, it was decent eats. read more

What a wonderful little hidden gem. Mason' s was a local favorite for many years and Ruby's seems the best replacement for its old locarion. Have never had anything but breakfast here, but it's just delicious.. good down home cooking. Staff is all super friendly, low key and helpful. They treat you like family. Plus.. you can have dogs on the patio, an awesome Nashville thing that isn't spreading north of town much yet. Eat there!!!! read more

And this is why it's downright the best home cooking in metro-Nashville! I had the open face roast beef sammich with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. This is rather delicious and felt like having a nice lunch at a southern potluck! This has a nice country feel and the service was excellent! The waitress was fast and polite, and with it to boot, the food came out quicker than expected! One word of note that the G-Ville location is open late on Fridays until 8pm, so you could enjoy comfort food with Ruby at dinner time! This never disappoints, and it's rather a hidden gem, with less than a mile off of I-65! read more

My family and I stopped at Ruby's on our way home from Nashville, heading back to Kentucky and Ohio. The service was great despite the servers being extremely busy, but the food was just okay. The tomato on my club sandwich had dirt on it indicating there was no way it had been washed. My fries were limp. My aunt said her chicken and dumplings definitely tasted like they came out of a can. Everyone else seemed to find their food to be fine, not amazing. All in all, we left with full bellies, but I don't think we'll return next time we're in town. The women that work there are very sweet though! read more

Unbelievable. Fantastic yummy If we lived close I'd be here everyday. Feels like home. Even had pie for breakfast! :) read more

We tried this place for lunch. The service was ok for the most part. I ordered the stuffed bacon cheese burger and a side of onion rings. The burger was good. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich. The sandwich did not have a lot of taste to it and the fries were rather bland. read more

Cute little dive, friendly service, good traditional breakfast, quite busy enough to see it was a popular choice but we didn't have to wait for a table. Waitress seemed to know many folks by name. Happy to support a local business. read more
