Chain me up!
Having recently been forced to go gluten-free, I've had to revisit the whole concept of eating at chain restaurants. In turn, I've visited this Ruby Tuesday on a number of occasions.
THE UP-SIDE: Super-friendly service, enough room to spread out, and lighting that is easy on the noggin. With an excellent salad bar that stretches a good 15 feet, there is always a quality fallback plan for those eating healthy and/or having to go gluten/free. For those not worried about gluten, the food is pretty damn good for a chain.
THE DOWN-SIDE: This place goes out of its way to note that they have a gluten-free menu - they don't. What they have is a long, xeroxed list of things to avoid on their regular menu. While this is definitely helpful, it would be far more helpful if they just had straight-out gluten-free offerings. Trying to hold up their regular menu and go between it and the xeroxed list is annoying and far too much trouble.
THE SUM-IT-UP: While I do wish this place would offer true and distinct gluten-free offerings, the salad bar does help fill that void. People not worried about going gluten-free will enjoy this location no problem.
