Sometimes when you have extra time at the airport before your flight you look for spots to grab a quick bite before jumping on your plane. Ruby's Dinette visually has that retro soda shop cool look to it. All red and white, counter seating with swiveling stools, counter staff all dressed in white. Even the signage and menu has old time graphics, The concept is well thought out, but the actual end result is just basically mediocre airport food.
Barely passable burgers and sandwiches populate the menu. It's really just another fast food chain-like operation masquerading as a specialty restaurant but ultimately falls short of it's goal. A bit pricey for the quality too. The times I have been here I can attest to always regretting eating here.
As is the problem I find with McCarran Airport there are too many of these substandard places to eat, and not really any quality places to sit down and enjoy a satisfying meal while waiting for a flight.
Let's be real, the negative reviews are not because of depressed people leaving Las Vegas, but it's because of the depressing food offered here!
