| - Ruby Tuesday's salad bar and healthier choices (With caloric count for calorie counters) for entrees is what sets it apart from other chain restaurants that serve your basic American style cuisine. The salad bar includes 2 types of base greens (Iceberg and mixed greens), with various toppings (Edamame, peas, mushrooms, croutons etc.) and dressings (Italian, low fat balsamic, ranch, thousand island, etc).
Generally, with any main entree, you will have your choice of side and salad bar, or 2 sides. They also have more healthy side options such as roasted spaghetti squash and steamed broccoli. My husband had the chicken trio, and I had the creole fish on our visit. The chicken was nicely presented, and was fairly tender and juicy. Of the three different toppings (Balsamic and tomato, mushroom cheese, and mango salsa), my least favorite was the mango salsa since the mango in it, while fresh, wasn't totally ripe. The creole fish was presented in a Spartan way, with just one piece of fish with a mound of side next to it on a plain white plate. The fish (Some type of white fish, maybe carp?) was a freshwater white-flesh fish and had a decent seasoning and was cooked well.
Service was friendly, but we did not have any silverware on our table when we were seated and had to ask for it after our entrees were served to us. Drinks were refilled quickly as needed.
I haven't indulged in a lot of the desserts, but I am a fan of the Italian creme cake. It's moist, and not too sweet.
Prices are moderate, and entrees will be around 15 dollars, give or take a few dollars.
