My first time here was horrible! I came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning with my husband, and the waiter was very attentive and welcoming. But when the food came out, I was so upset with the quality. I felt like we should’ve just ate at home. Whoever the cook is here should be embarrassed and needs to go back to culinary school!! Everything on my plate was basically burnt scraps. My english muffins were burnt, my ham was hard and tough, and my potatoes tasted like they got stuck to a burnt pan and then they just threw some large raw onions pieces on top. Literally I only ate like 4 soft potato pieces..The spoon for my coffee was dirty with what looked like old milkshake or ice cream. I just had really high hopes for this place and decided to give it a try, but I left the restaurant still hungry and unsatisfied with my breakfast.. it put us in a bad mood knowing we had to pay for burnt scraps off the grill and still go somewhere else to eat.

Everything I’ve ordered has come out good. Especially fried goods, much better than Lazy Dog who over cooks all their fried offerings. Service is cheerful and personable, it’s a varied and interesting menu, I think this is a bit of an undiscovered gem. I’ve yet to see them full, so getting a table is easy. Try the buffalo cauliflower if you like spicy, it’s just right

It’s what you expect from a diner. Simple menu consisting of burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They also have great tasting milkshakes. The kids menu comes with a neat activity to create a classic car. Plenty of indoor seating. If you like people watching, I recommend sitting in car train seating because of great views of Brea Blvd. and the Improv. There is an area closed off for hosting meetings complete with a large tv. Outdoor seating available on Birch St.. The restroom facilities were clean. Friendly staff.

Really really flavorful food, nice service and clean! I brought my picky 13 year old son for his birthday. Normally he only eats chicken fingers. Today he had chicken fingers, tried the shrimp and fish and chips for the first time ever and he loved it! I had the burger that was cooked to perfection with lots of flavor.

Ruby’s Diner was chosen for lunch by our CSU Fullerton graduate for a post commencement ceremony celebration venue. While the facility was quiet and comfortable our party of ten was too large for the prep-service combination on-hand. The service was friendly, but disappointingly slow. Our 11:00 a.m. arrival to an almost empty restaurant was not an advantage. Coffee and water service took ten minutes instead of an expected two minutes – max. Several food items, among the ten of us, were either consumed cold or returned to the kitchen for warming. It was obvious that the food sat for an extended stay on the pick-up shelf. I consumed my burger and fries as-served, but was disappointed at their room temperature. Cold food and slow service drops Ruby’s rating and makes it a one-time-only experience.

Surprisingly good. I had the mushroom Swiss burger, my four year old had the grilled cheese, and wife had the tuna melt. We started off with some friend calamari and again really good. I guess my expectations were pretty low but we were all pleasantly surprised. Will be back again with the kiddos.

Free parking behind the movie theaters is nice. Absolutely love their French fries. This place has a special room you can reserve for meetings complete with a television.

Came for a root beer float and a strawberry shake. They are so delicious we ordered a regular hamburger with fries to go with the float and shake. Delicious but I think the fries didn’t live up to the hamburger. Hamburger tasted great. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Will come back for the desserts . Great place to come hang out before a movie or after the movie.

The desserts were delicious! The milkshake was so smooth and silky and so tasty! And the root beer float was one of the best! Can’t wait to have dinner here.
