There’s a fine line between being blackened and being burnt, and this crossed that line. There were no tomatoes, salsa, or any other toppings to enhance the dish. I've always had great experiences at Ruby T, but this felt more like something you'd expect from a drive-thru.

Before Covid we 'd come once-in-a-while to enjoy the salad bar but not so much the remainder of the menu. Recently I 've become even more skeptical of their food because there 's just no flavor, but they recently presented tater tots and grilled zucchini. Both are darned good. A few weeks back we visited and I ordered the fish chips. Immediately I realized the fish was frozen and in small strips like chicken fingers. Obviously it 's Gordon 's from a box. I ate one and it was horrible. Poor waitress asked if everything was ok and I didn 't hold back. She sent the manager. I discussed the problem with her and she admitted they didn 't have the wherewithal to keep fresh fish. To my thinking then it shouldn 't be on the menu. For years they never offered a decent steak; now they 're offering ribeyes and others. What took you so long? Most everything I 've tried on this menu has been other than stellar, even the ribs which are dried out and tough. Thus last visit was the worst ever. Our party of four didn 't enjoy the first thing. One had the salmon (overcooked), Philly cheesesteak with four cheeses (very salty cheeses, he couldn 't finish), mine was so bad I can 't even remember what it was except the zucchini which was overcooked. The salad bar Is what you make it which was pretty good. The 4th diner had the pot roast and he said it was all right but the waitress said there was a lot of liquid (not gravy) but when it arrived it looked very dry, overcooked and so very unappetizing. He doesn 't care for mushrooms and he diligently picked every one of those suckers out! Each of us pledged to never return to THIS restaurant.
