    Potato Benedict

    Creative menu with so many choices! Had the potato Benedict with eggs and Canadian bacon on potato pancakes instead of English muffin! Terrific breakfast!

    French toast platter

    Being new to the area, we are working our way through the dining options. Ruby's has an interesting menu with some unique offerings I've not seen before. V went with a straightforward breakfast offering found most anywhere. The over-easy eggs were made as expected, and the French toast was thick bread and tasty. I ordered the Chilaquiles, which I've never heard of before, but I'm glad I tried it. I opted for the hot red sauce, which for breakfast was a bit too hot for me. Next time, I'll try the green, medium sauce. I really enjoyed the blend of flavors, the eggs, rice, refried beans, sauce, and sour cream. Yummy The service was perfect. Our waitress was prompt, the food arrived quickly, and our waitress followed up to make sure all was well. The atmosphere was a bit nicer than Grandma's located across the street. Ruby's felt a little more comfy and welcoming. The four-plus stars overall is well earned.

    Steak skillet & toast + French toast & eggs

    A lovely small dinner right by the freeway, ideal location for a break driving to or from Chicago. Employees are nice and professional, the place is clean and the food was great. I had the steak skillet and was amazed at how tasty the meat was. Eggs were cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of cheese. I will definitely stop by again given the chance.

    I had already ordered a dinner special. I tried to order sangria. They added 75¢ to the price, so I…read moregot suspicious. Why would sangria cost only 75¢ more than a watered down fountain drink? I said I want to see the bottle, and the guy waiting for me to pay. I repeat that I'd like to see the bottle. He's waiting for me to pay. I tell him that I'd like to read the bottle. He continues waiting for me to pay. I say Me Gusta ver the bottle (I'm trying hard at this point). Still no success. I say Can I See The Bottle while walking to the refrigerator and he finally hands it to me. I read it and it says "Sangria soda". I continue reading and it says Less Than 0.5% alcohol. I start laughing and I'm say out loud "this is not sangria". The guy goes "That's the name." I'm lowkey offended. I don't care what the name is, that's not sangria. You can call a Kia a BMW, but that doesn't make it so. He should know what I mean. No normal person would call that sangria. I tell him I don't want it and we're back at the register. As I'm waiting for him to remove it from the bill, I say "Normally sangria has alcohol in it" and he goes "No it doesn't". I'm flat out flabbergasted at this point. There's another employee standing next to him nodding her head! Both of these people are Hispanic. I'm confused beyond all belief. So I pull out my phone and google one word, "sangria". Wikipedia is a top result and I tap it. I show them the very first two sentences, which say "Sangria (English: /sæŋri/ sang-GREE-, Portuguese: [si.]; Spanish: sangría [saŋi.a]) is an alcoholic beverage originating in Spain and Portugal. A punch, sangria traditionally consists of red wine and chopped fruit, often with other ingredients or spirits." The guy goes "ohhhh that's same name but different". Yeah no shit it's different. That's what I'm telling them. But why are they only now realizing what I'm talking about?! They acted like they'd never heard of normal sangria before, even after I'd described it to them ("it has alcohol!"). After being proven by Wikipedia, NOW he knows what it is! Honestly, the food is ok, good enough that I want to go back. But I'm so upset that I had to spend an extra 3 minutes at the register basically arguing with these people about something they should be very knowledgeable about, that I also want to be able to never go back there again. Was all that a ploy to get me to spend a measly extra 75¢ ?? How else does a fluent Spanish speaking Hispanic not know what sangria is? Even the word sangria comes from sangre (blood), because of the red color, which comes from RED WINE! I'm so disgusted! And both of those people tried to act like I'm an idiot for thinking that sangria has alcohol in it! I told them that I'd never heard of sangria not having alcohol before and they acted like I was crazy. This area is sooo desolate that I'm most likely going back there very soon. BUT I'm asking both of them about this again. They will have some time to have thought about it and we'll see what they say. Because if all that was simply a con to try to get 75¢, I can't eat there.

    If you like being hit like a ton of bricks with the smell of sewage and being served by sloppy…read moreworkers and super dirty floors, super dirty tables, and most likely super dirty tacos, and burritos, then this place is definitely for you.

For sure it could be a lot better but it's usually good enough. The prices are kind of high for portions. A place we came to for lunch. It's just pretty much a lot like so many of these others that have the not so authentic menu. The restaurant is big enough for groups and there's also a patio. Has better drinks than food to be honest. It's about $12 for a jumbo margarita. The cucumber one is more of a unique flavor that's not as common at these corporate type of restaurants. It's about $15 for a burrito. We each got the Veggie Burrito with it being one of the few non meaty options. I left off the cheese and sour cream. Still had tons in it. There were beans, guacamole and rice along with onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Casual restaurant with offerings for the whole family. It's closed Mondays. They have a menu section featuring a few items for vegetarians.

They have a big parking spot in front of the restaurant. They have a great menu options with quite a few vegetarian options. Additionally, their rice is cooked with water and not chicken or bone broth. They have a great customer service and they answered all the questions we had. We especially loved their house made hot sauce.
