| - Let's start with the salad bar which is well stocked, with a nice selection of mixed fields greens, spinach and your typical iceberg lettuce for the less adventurous. Moving to the middle of the salad bar we find sliced mushroom, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, peas and other assorted veggies. They also have a broccoli salad which has shredded cheddar, bacon and a light dressing. Two things should be noted: One is that the bar has real bacon pieces and the other is their croutons. They are very dark, and look like pumpernickel but don't taste like it. What sets them apart from any other crouton I have ever had is that they are slightly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy in the middle. I can't get enough of them on my plate. They are delicious and fun to eat. There is also a nice selection of dressings as well. They also offer unsalted sunflower seeds to top off your salad. A nice touch. Another very classy touch is that the salad plates sit on an icy cold chilling plate so you always get a cold salad plate.
We had the shrimp fondue. Thick and cheesy with lots of baby shrimp. It was served with crisp, paper thin multicolored chips. An excellent appetizer.
Entrees: Parmesan Shrimp pasta - yum. Chicago baby back ribs (full rack of course), very tender meat which literally fell off the bone - yum. Dockside Grill Trio - tilapia was way too chewy, should be slightly firm and flaky. But our server took care of that right away. New Orleans Seafood - yum. Grilled Salmon - yum. Rib eye - first one - yum, second time way too fatty. But again our server took care of that right away. It should be noted that the rib eye portion is huge, practically filling the whole plate. Chef's Cut Sirloin - yum. The cooks know how to cook meat at the temp you order.
Now for the sides: Homemade cheese biscuits - yum. Roasted spaghetti squash - yum. Onion rings with chilli dipping sauce - yum. Baked potato - hard to mess one of these up unless it's been in the oven for a few days.
Deserts: So far we have only tried one. The red velvet cupcakes. These come right out of the fridge. The texture is just right and the icing is thick, tasty and not cloying. A very tasty cupcake.
The service: Very attentive. We never have to ask for drink refills. Servers strike the right balance of friendliness and respecting our privacy.
Bottom line: Ruby Tuesday has become our favorite restaurant. The food is excellent with any missteps promptly remedied. The service is very good. The servers know how to do their job and the management we have met is very attentive as well. Expect to spend around $35 - $40 for two.
