I don't care how nice they've made this place look..why go out and eat this mediocre pre-processed food... or should i say crap!... I just got into cooking.. my gf bought me this hilarious beginners cookbook called "Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES!" (bitchcooks.com).. besides being hilarious.. really has some great starter recipes and food I never thought I could make myself.. check out the free recipes on the site... youll see.. plus.. i get the added bonus of my gf telling me to "get in the kitchen, Bit@H!".. have to say that's pretty hot...lol

Then, clearly, you have not tried the updated menue. First, it has the best, freshest, varied and tasty salad bar - 3 kinds of green, greens, delicious dressings and EVOO if you like. Even the croutons, nuts and cheeses are top quality. Perfectly cooked fresh broccoli and choice of brown rice or garlic potatoes are as good as the "meat". How often do you get that. There isn't a better Crab Cake anywhere --99% chunks of crab - not the stringy stuff - a thick cake perfectly crisped and delicious. If you haven't shared - it's that big - the prime burger with someone, what a shame. The flavor is like the best Porterhouse. Personally, for the all-around quality, quantity and flavor, I think it's worth every penny. No, I don't work there. I just enjoy. Lynn

I used to work at a ruby Tuesday . Most of the food is cooked on a flat top griddle designed for pancakes, 80 percent of any thing that is not fried or meat is cooked via the microwave.(pasta , veggies, rice, sauces, any well done steak.) The quality of the food produced could be way better if they weren't so worried about cost. -as far as working there goes , they tried to sell me on the whole employees first deal , which is total BS , they are a corporation who only cares about the bottom dollar. I have seen them run bare bones kitchen with 3 cooks when a fully staffed kitchen is necessary like during the holidays. which affects the stress of the cooks tremendously and affects the food coming out to the customer because one person cant do that much at once. Ruby Tuesday is just another big corporate restaurant like all the others . Overpriced mediocrity.-Josh oh yeah definitely DO NOT EAT FROM THE SALAD BAR !!!!!!!

Really enjoy R.T., but decision to increase prices of the already above average pricing is disappointing, and sadly very politically reflective of the present Administration in Washington. "change that costs you more of your hard earned money". Bad form, Ruby Tuesday! won't see nearly as much of me and many others as well, I believe you'll find. Another pretty good restaurant bites the dust!!

Just another reason to COOK AT HOME. Get off your lazy butts and learn to frikkin' cook!

I have to ask what it was you ate there a year ago. By your account you spent $20 for a meal for two... That's Steak 'n' Shake money, not Ruby Tuesday's money. $35 for two meals, a dessert and drinks is very reasonable, with two entrees at $11 each? You're calling this EXPENSIVE? Especially if you're comparing apples to apples and including drinks and a dessert. And by "drinks" you'd better be talking about a beer special or a soda.

I'm also sick and tired of hearing how "nobody has any money". Clearly YOU do if you're eating out, so stop trying to make it sound like everyone is broke if you can afford to go to Ruby Tuesday's, even if they HADN'T changed the menu.

I work at Rubys in the Cleveland area, and I'm sorry that you had that experience and I hope you complained to management. I"m a very concientious server when it comes to kids plates, because for one I raised 3 and I would have thrown a fit, and for 2 along with our menu change and interior change comes a 30 second greet policy. So if you didn't complain, you better call corporate and complain, because it won't change unless people call. You do spend money there, so you should be treated with the utmost respect. You are the customer. Come up to Cleveland and I'll show you great service and great food! ; - ) Have a great day, and I hope you'll take my advice under consideration and hope that one bad experience won't deter you from trying Ruby's again. (but, you better call & complain first) LOL!

Don't worry, they're not. And they're certainly not getting rid of one of they're best sellers on the salad bar, the Waldorf Salad, YUM! . OH! and the next time you go, you have to try the new Mediterranian Salad on the salad bar, it's delicious. It has fettucini, olives, feta cheese, fresh basil in a greek type dressing. WONDERFUL!

I agree, I love their salad bar. As a vegetarian, all other restaurants lost me to Ruby's a long time ago! I just hope they didn't nix their veggie burger option. YUM!

Please, the Cheesecake Factory in Beavercreek, OH charges $12.00 for a regular martini. It is one of the most over priced and over rated restaurants in the country. No kids menu either.

Do you get really good employee discounts at Cheesecake Factory, too? Just wondering...
