I'm having to downgrade Ruby Tuesday to 3 stars because of an experience I had there today. I went in there for a mid-afternoon bite to eat. The service was fast and friendly as always. The food was pretty good. So what was the problem? Well, my main complaint is that they stuck me in the middle of a very dirty part of the restaurant, with crumbs all over the floor and dishes piled everywhere. One of the employees was cleaning, and cleaning...and cleaning. Spraying and vacuuming and stacking dishes. It was very distracting and unappetizing. I don't understand why they put me there when everyone else was seated in a cleaner area with open booths available. Secondly, the prices have gone up. I wanted to get salmon and the salad bar and it would have come to over twenty dollars with a drink. (They are charging $3.49 extra for the salad bar rather than having it included in the entree.) I think that's too much money for lunch at a chain restaurant. My third complaint was that the music was way too loud. I don't need to hear Billy Joel and the Byrds at top volume while I'm eating. Actually, I wish businesses in general would stop tormenting us with "classic rock." I don't think I'll be back to Ruby Tuesday for quite awhile, if ever.
