| - Ruby's is really close by, so we come here fairly often. Especially when there are coupons floating around, which there usually are. We generally like having dinner here, and tonight was especially good.
I ordered my usual glass of wine and my favorite RT dinner - the crabcake. I order broccoli and mashed as my two sides. I like that the broccoli doesn't have anything added, and isn't too raw or too well done: as Baby Bear says, it's just right. That helps atone for the crabcake, which is probably drenched in butter. It's really good.
My husband had the sliders and salad bar. It's on the lunch menu, but is available at dinner, too, for a few bucks more. Two beef sliders (with fries or any side of your choice) and all-you-can-eat salad bar for, I think 9.99.
I like Ruby Tuesday's burgers, too, but their most recent menu incarnation now has two different qualities of meat available. In the very old days, Ruby's burgers were awful. I used to order them sometimes because I knew I'd never have to pay for the meal, since I'd invariably send them back and complain. Then, a few years ago, they went more upscale and the burgers were top shelf and fabulous. I don't think I've had a burger at Ruby's since they switched to the A and B burgers, just sliders, but since I discovered their crab cake, that's what I usually order.
I love the fact that their drinks are reasonably priced - $5 for cocktails with their house brand liquors, which are decent quality. The drink, though, depends on which bartender at which RT happens to be mixing that night. I've been at Ruby Tuesdays all across the country, and it sure can vary.
Our server, Raymie, was very friendly and efficient, though I was surprised she never heard of Yelp!
But the best part of our dinner was that - ta-dah - none of the servers were running the infernal carpet sweepers back and forth! This process was going on at every single Ruby Tuesday's I've ever been in, be it Las Vegas, New Jersey, Indiana, Tennessee, everywhere. And it didn't matter if it was 7 pm or near closing. It was so annoying and pervasive that I emailed corporate (with no response), and then called. Their curt answer: "That's the way they do things." Maybe others have finally complained, or maybe the rain made all the servers sluggish and lazy tonight, but finally we had a meal without that damned "Whirrrrrrr."
May it continue in 2011.
