Editorial Review for Ruby's Diner – by Cory Jane Birkett

In Short
In 1982, businessman Doug Cavanaugh opened the first Ruby's in Southern California's Newport Beach, naming it after his mother. Today, this nationwide chain--adorned with red vinyl booths, Formica tables, soda fountains and retro posters--features the same timeless food and hospitality that keep diners coming back. Favorites are the classic burgers topped with secret RubySauce, fries and sweet shakes. Other staples include pancakes, omelettes, sandwiches, chili, salads and a variety of fountain treats.

I don't see how anyone considers Ruby's Diner's burgers to be good. It is ordinary in everyway. I dined at this joint three times and each time it tasted like grease. The food tasted like they had been cooked in used cooking oil, the type that has been used many times over.

Pros: Nice 50's ambience

Cons: greasy food
