| - Ever seen one of those commercials TV of a restaurant that exists nowhere near where you live? Enter Ruby Tuesday. As a Bay Area resident, I have seen repeats of their commercials on many occasions, especially the one about revamping their image (something about a lamp?). At least I think thats what was one of the commercials.
Anyway, I went to Vegas this past weekend and crashed at a friend's house in the area. Granted the house was half an hour away from the Strip, there was one night where we didn't want to drive all the way there, and so when we discovered this place, it was a no-brainer to try it.
This particular location was rather empty on a Sunday night, but then again its not a heavily populated area. There's a salad bar right when you walk in, and silly me I thought it was free. As a carnivore I tend to ignore salad bars, but if that's your thing, add that onto your tab.
I ordered the Brewmaster burger. Remember, if you order any burger, it comes with unlimited fries. It's like T.G.I. Friday's and Red Robin had a child and bore Ruby Tuesday! They even have some decent strawberry lemonade, with real strawberries. The burger itself, was pretty delicious, and the wheat bun is also a plus. It wasn't drenched in BBQ sauce, and you could taste the hint of beer in the meat.
Another reason why I like this place is.... Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat on tap! You know I had to get it. Suddenly, Yard House isn't the only franchised place to find this. By the way, if anyone knows where else they carry it in the Bay, please shed some light.
Our waitress was awesome and very attentive, but then again there weren't too many people eating there. What's even more awesome, the bill was split per person and how much food they ordered. Basically, the overall receipt showed how much each person needed to pay. No need for separated checks or the need to write down how much to charge to each card!
I bet you if this franchise was more common in the Bay, I'd give a lower score. Then again its not. Eating a pretty good burger with unlimited fries, enjoying a brewski, and watching the NBA playoffs with some good friends is a wonderful experience.
I still hate this place for showing commercials when they don't have any locations nearby.
