    Chilaquiles with red sauce, Mickey Mouse Pancake Combo, breakfast burrito and kids hamburger .
    Jen H.

    Perfect diner with great food. Massive portions so bring your best smiles and appetites! We had a little of everything to cover everyone's cravings. From authentic Mexican breakfast to pancakes and hamburger to breakfast burritos. Yum!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    What a shame. Drove by there today. Had some great memories. They closed and reopened as a Black…read moreBear diner. R place was legendary with their Hubcap -Porkchops , and massive pancakes, my favorite was the R place challenge- a burger which was about 3 lbs of meat, 1lb of condiments, and 1lb bun which was fresh baked daily on site. A few people conquered it, but not I. A friend & I went and split it once, and we couldn't finish. The server drops it off, and glanced at my buddy who had a funny look on his face.... And says: whats wrong sir? My pal deadpans and looks at this Massive burger which is about spilling over a full size dinner plate and says : Looks kinda skimpy, dont ya think?? The waitress and I roared with laughter. The burger was fabulous, fresh condiments, great bun, and meat was tops! Ahhh those were the days... They've fallen on hard times and closed. Shame. Good luck to Black Bear. I dont know anything about them but will try to stop in one day soon.

    Breakfast is really good everything seems like it's made fresh and it comes out hot…read more Lunch and dinner are a little different. Many of the options I've tried seemed like the food was made from frozen or were left o er from the day before. I had a Rueben sandwich and the meat was chewy and the bread was very dry. Again, the breakfast option's are very good.

    My husband found this old school restaurant that was established in 1933 with high Google ratings…read morethat was conveniently located on the way to the Rialto Theatre where we were headed for a concert. So we tried it. Merichka's serves good food with good service in a non-fancy kind of restaurant. It has various dining areas and a small bar. The room we sat in was nondescript with not one decoration on the walls. The multiple ceiling fans were running so I froze all throughout dinner. I didn't get our server's name, but she provided good service and was engaging. She always came back to check on us. The other staff we encountered was thorough in delivering food and removing dirty plates. We started with cocktails, a bourbon neat for him and an old-fashioned for me. My husband enjoyed his bourbon, however my old-fashioned was Wisconsin style which I didn't enjoy. We shared the mushrooms as a starter - I have to admit they were perfection! The portion was generous and the crust was perfectly crispy without being greasy. I think we missed the boat, though, because we didn't order the onion rings, which looked sensational. Dinners come with a relish tray and a couple sides. The relish tray had cottage cheese, a bean salad and a pasta salad. Again, generous in size. My hubby had a steak with fried shrimp for dinner and his sides were a salad and twice baked potato. He ordered the steak rare because he didn't trust that it would be cooked to medium rare. He was right to go rare because it came out a little pink. I opted for the baked cod for dinner with a salad and twice baked potato. My cod was 12oz and was moist and flaky. I didn't even put a dent in my dinner because I was full from the mushrooms and relish tray. We ended up bringing most of our entrees home. I'm glad we tried this restaurant out, but honestly even though the food was decent, I didn't enjoy the bare bones atmosphere and being uncomfortable throughout dinner because the fans were on. If you like a supper club without the frills, I think you would like this place.
