Ruby Tuesday - Kinston

The waitstaff was excellent, but the food didn’t quite meet expectations. Overall, it was decent, though it didn't justify the price. read more The waitstaff was excellent, but the food didn’t quite meet expectations. Overall, it was decent, though it didn't justify the price.

The rice had way too much salt on it. My friend's hickory bourbon chicken was passable, but his baked potato looked like it had spent too long under the heat lamp and had turned into a potato chip. The broccoli he had was good, but he remarked that the rest of his meal was lacking, even if it tasted odd. I tried the zucchini and found it unappetizing, so I gave up. We decided to pay and leave since we had waited so long. The server had been great at first, but it seemed like the place might have been too busy or something had gone wrong. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

The steak was very tasty, and the mushrooms were cooked to perfection. I rated the atmosphere a 3 out of 5 mainly because of the women's bathroom, which is in dire need of attention! I also noticed that the windows were dirty, and the overall cleanliness could use some improvement, as it didn’t appear to be dusted regularly. Managers need to take action regarding the bathrooms—there's really no excuse for this! It would be beneficial to hire someone for a thorough steam cleaning every now and then. If you visit and notice the bathroom issues, be sure to voice your concerns; perhaps that will prompt some much-needed changes.

The food was fresh and served hot, and the staff was very helpful. Plus, they still offer a military discount, which is a nice bonus.
