I've been going to Ruby's since I was a kid and I tell you, this place is something special.If you love an old fashioned 50's diner, Americana themed with decor and menu to match, this is it.We especially love coming in around the Holidays for the touch of Christmas nostalgia, seriously this place is a major throw back minus a juke box hahaYou can grab a nice sized burger here, skinny fries or "frings" (half fries half onion rings) on the side and the most epic shake you will ever have (I recommend the strawberry, vanilla or chocolate) But you could always go with a peanut butter or mint!Ruby's diners are getting harder and harder to find, but this one in Tustin is a great location with ample parking and right on the corner. A great, different date night awaits you here, and I HIGHLY recommend sitting under the ceiling mount train for an extra touch of entertainment.Great service all around, thank you Ruby's for the memories!

While more and more fancy and pricey burger joints are popping up everywhere, there is nothing more down to earth and American than grabbing a classic cheeseburger and a shake or a Coke from a Ruby's. This 1950's themed diner has been a part of many local communities for over four decades and very little has changed through the years. The restaurant still features the same booths with bright red and comfy sofas, the servers still wear the same vintage retro-style uniforms, and memorabilia from the days of Big Band music still decorate the walls.Their burgers are always good and accompanied by fresh and piping hot shoestring fries that are properly salted. The meat is flavorful and not too greasy. I also like the toasted brioche bun. I usually go with the classic which comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and Ruby's secret sauce. Sometimes when I want to add some flavors from south of the border, I'll order the guacamole burger. Another one of my favorites is the hickory burger which comes with smoked bacon and BBQ sauce. I find the prices here reasonable and affordable for a treat at a local diner. Their service is usually prompt and courteous. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and is certainly family friendly.

This place has always been one of the best burger restaurants in SoCal. The burgers are never frozen and delicious. Their chili cheese and Cajun fries are mouthwatering. Don't miss out on the shakes too. The staff is super duper friendly and the restaurant is extremely clean. Definitely worth it

I'm so sad... this place has changed so much. I usually door dash, but today we dined in. All the things I've loved about Ruby's are no more. No juke boxes at the tables, bottomless fries, or what's going on with their cinnamon roll French toast (see image) that has always been a go-to favorite. I've never seen a skinner French toast, it was more like a crepe. I came here with someone who is not from the US, hoping to give them a classic American diner experience and it was a disappointment :( I know it's not their fault, but came for good food, and a full 1950's theme, but no waitress in their cute uniforms and food was mediocre I'll definitely try again, hoping it was just an off day. I will add that I appreciate that they still have the paper cars for the children, the gum ball machine, and the train operating on the ceiling track.

This place is delicious. I'd give them 5 stars but my table was a little sticky when I sat down. Other than that, it was a great experience for the family. Arrived on a Sunday at 11am. This place is busy!! Like ... really busy! I kid you not, people were going in and out every 5 minutes. I had no idea it was that freakin busy!!We ordered the ruby burger. I added an egg on top of it. It came with French fries too!Also got 2 kids meals. The grilled cheese and the chicken tenders. Both also had fries with them. The strawberry milkshake was the best, as my kids loved it! Thick, creamy, and full of flavor! Yum!They brought us waters also, and even little cups for the kiddos! Straws were also provided, didn't even have to ask!They gave two foldable cars for the two kids too. It was an amazing experience.

I dropped by to take advantage of the BOGO offer. It's been forever since I ate at Ruby's. Easily 10+ yrs ago at the one in Crystal Court. So it was a bit nostalgic. I ordered to go since I was starving after 3 hrs of pickleball. Got the Hickory Burger with fries. It was a monstrosity of a burger. Bacon, onion rings, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and a big patty. Overall I give it a B- because I wasn't a fan of the hickory sauce and the regular fries were awful. I wish I would have upgraded to onion rings. The other entree was the albacore (tuna) melt. It's been a while since I've had a tuna melt. It was yummy but a little light on the amount of tuna they gave me (Shrinkflation) and I upgrade to sweet potato fries. I gave this sandwich a B+Overall this place is deserving of 3 stars but service was nice so I gave it 4.

Ruby's Diner has always been a favorite. Love the Theme! And of course, love the food! Ordered were Chocolate Milk Shakes, a Guacamole Burger and my fave - The Hickory Burger! Make it a point to check Ruby's Diner when in Tustin! Shout out to Juan for such great service!Ruby's Diner opened its doors December 7, 1982, on Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, California. Over 40 years ago, a small bait shack sitting on the end of the pier was converted to our first Diner. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, with a name as simple as its menu, Ruby's Diner offers the Highest Quality Burgers, Fries, and Shakes with a service motto of "Make Room for Everyone™".https://www.rubys.com/our-story/Check out my Tiktok Video on Ruby's!https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT86Qjcm8/

Walked in to have lunch on a weekday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. I'd like to preface by saying I have a soft spot for Ruby's as there is a sense of nostalgia when I eat at one. I got a Ruby melt burger which was a little pricey in my opinion at $15 but it was actually quite delicious. The patty was juicy and the grilled onions really made the burger taste delicious. The fries however were a miss and the ketchup tasted off. I also ended up getting a peanut butter shake which was excellent and I enjoy that they split it into two cups. The servers were friendly and i enjoyed the decor as well as the toy train going around near the ceiling. I think the theme is great and I wish there were more of them around. I certainly seeing myself returning in a few months time based on just nolstalgia factor alone.
