My brother and I went to Ruth's and had a great brunch! It felt like we were in & out in a flash! When we sat down we were quickly greeted by amour very nice waitress who took/brought our drinks quickly! The margaritas & mimosas are 10/10! We ate the "Build your Own" Scramble & Ruth's Crab Eggs Benedict... which again came out in like 5-6 mins! We were shocked it was actually our food! lolIt's not a huge space in there but not cramped by any means in my opinion! Great spot!

Food was just okay , not sure I'd visit again for mediocre food. The parking was difficult too with all the other stores nearby. The decor inside was nice though

I wanted a cute Sunday brunch and Ruth's Cafe was one of Yelp's favorites in north Indy! I arrived at 12pm and there was a 5 minute wait. Upon entering, I couldn't help but notice how cute and kitschy this place is - vibrant colors, pop culture references on the walls, and quirky furniture. I ordered the spinach melt on focaccia with a side salad, which was served in less than 10 minutes. Wow - the spinach melt was packed with tang and juicy from the roasted tomatoes. It had enough swiss cheese for a cheese pull (so satisfying). The focaccia wasn't in a traditional focaccia rectangle shape - it was the size of a large English muffin. However, the focaccia was soft, moist, and flavorful. I would love to buy focaccia to-go from Ruth's if possible...it was *that* good!I'm definitely coming back to Ruth's for it's cozy vibe, excellent customer service, and high quality food. There are plenty of vegetarian options to choose from for my next visit!

Came for brunch this time around.. good as always. The menu had plenty of options.. they always have a scramble special and quiche special. I've tried the quiche many times and it is always top notch. Today I decided to go for a benedict - but with a twist potato pancake base instead of english muffin. Very good - perfect poached egg - lovely hollindaise... i didn't realize it didn't have ham on it - but i re-read the menu and that was my mistake! Server was quick with my coffee and a refill. Also, you can scan your receipt's qr code and pay with apple pay. No need to wait for your card to be run.The place has a super funky vibe- all the tables are different. Let me try to explain the table next to me had a colts pattern top and mine a super hero. The chairs have decoupage - really cute.

Nice spot for brunch, the atmosphere is nostalgic and cozy. Food was good and service was even better. Variety of items to choose from, I had the Crab Benedict (a crab cake topped with sunnyside up egg) and side of fruit. I plan to explore the menu further.

We were able to get in just before closing and were seated immediately. This place has a bistro feel to it, small, quaint and cozy. Every day they feature a different omelette and quiche. I ordered the salmon omelette: Smoked salmon, fresh sautéed spinach and cream cheese. Served with your choice of slow-roasted potatoes, fresh fruit, or house salad with champagne vinaigrette, plus sourdough toast. The omelette was huge enough to get a doggy bag and was very satisfying. I'll definitely be returning.

I've been here a couple of times but most recently stopped in for a quick lunch. As always, this casual breakfast/lunch spot was hopping, with all the outdoor tables full on a temperate summer day. No worries, the indoor space has so much to keep your senses occupied! This was the first time that I had noticed the umbrellas on the ceiling, along with a drum and cymbal. I was seated at table covered in rainbow Day of the Dead style skulls, and my chair had Star Trek decoupage adorning it. The whole place is quirky like that, makes it that much more fun! The friendly and fast waitress Varonnica arrived quickly with my coffee. Bonus for me that RC serves breakfast all day! They have such a diverse menu that I'd be sure there's something to suit everyone's taste. I ordered a spinach omelette with side salad and wheat toast. During my short wait, I was able to look around and really enjoy the uniqueness of the pop-culture decor here. Most of the tables are two or four tops, with a couple places along the wall perfect for larger groups. It is a little loud for private meetings in the main space, but not so much that you can't carry on a normal conversation. It's just that kind of a fun, busy place!My food arrived shortly. The omelet was big, filled with spinach, oven roasted tomatoes (soooo good!) and feta cheese. For me, this was a perfect flavor combo! The lightly sweet house champagne vinaigrette truly complemented my fresh side salad. I also appreciated that the salad was served in a bowl, which made it much easier to eat. I was able to pay my bill quickly at the table and off I went.I forgot how much I enjoy visiting Ruth's Café. Next time I won't wait so long!

Had a trulywonderful experience at Ruth's Cafe this morning! The restaurant was busy, but food came out quickly and was delicious. I had the scramble du jour (red pesto, artichoke, feta, red pepper) with potatoes and a biscuit. Service and atmosphere were both wonderful -will definitely be back.

Cozy and cute cafe/diner with great Benedict's. The Back Home in Indiana is delicious, great English muffin and sausage, choice of potatoes or fruit with it. The service was very friendly, and came back multiple times to check in for refilling water. Inside has cool decorations on the walls and ceiling. Plenty of outside shaded seats too.
