My cousin had fried wings and fries with Kool-Aid. The food came out hot and delicious. The cabbage was a little sweet and the cornbread stiff need to be fresher. No complaints only my lemon pound cake had to microwave to get it soft again and I added vanilla ice cream with mine it was great. I will come back if I am in Gastonia again.

They were not crispy the way I like them and too salty for me. I didn't care for the rib tips they could have cooked longer. They were not tender at all and I got the large order. I like pork well done. The tips are served on a bed of fries. I would have preferred to have them separate since this was a delivery order. The sauce was very good. I always sample a few things at new restaurants. I was disappointed but I would give Ruby's another try but I will go in person.

If you know me, you know I typically don't eat at chains. However, when in Rome …read more.. My friend found this spot and I have to say, I'm not going to say the "S" word - because it didn't apply. It was all Hospitality. The first interaction was like we had stepped into someone's home and were told to make ourselves at home. And the rest was the same. The gentleman walked us through the menu. Pretty much the entire line up of options. Not a condescending or impatient tone - warm and welcoming. Same with the next person. Even convinced my friend to get a dessert. Not that I need my arm twisted. The dining area was well kept. Clean. The condiments were well stocked and organized. I saw two different team members taking care of business there even asking if I needed anything. Bathrooms were immaculate. Don't see that very often - at least I don't in public places. The food was what we were looking for. Comfort food. With taste, not muted - just good flavor and consistency. A far cry from the bland, dry foods we had experienced the days prior. It was one of the first meals I really enjoyed on this trip to NC. Not saying that others were bad - they just didn't align with my taste preferences/expectations. Something about how Fried Chicken and Pork Chops are prepared in the South (or NOT California). Tender. Juicy. Mac & Cheese - not watery or overcooked. And I don't think I've ever had bad collared greens in my life. It's one of the handful of green vegetables I love having. Almost forgot parking. It's in kinda a plaza/strip mall setting. Free space and lots when we went (lunch). Not having to look for or pay for parking is always a plus for me. So, it's a chain. But I'd definitely go back. I almost ordered more but was saving the stomach space for dinner.
