Stopped at Ruby Tuesday in Bartow on the way to Lakeland Linder Airport thinking we’d grab a quick, decent meal. They were running a sirloin special, but the waitress told us the sirloins were frozen. Fair enough — I switched to a ribeye, medium.
What showed up looked suspiciously like the sirloin that had been “frozen.” And possibly thawed sometime last Tuesday. It was cooked to a texture I can only describe as “left under a heat lamp during a hurricane.”
We asked about it and the waitress said, “Oh I know, you got the wrong steak — we’re cooking your sirloin now.” Which was interesting, since I didn’t order a sirloin anymore… but okay.
Round two comes out and this one had the opposite problem — they apparently forgot the “cooking” part. It was so rare it could’ve applied for a grazing permit.
Manager came over and basically blamed the kitchen, the grill, the moon phase, and at one point made it sound like ordering steak there was our first mistake. Confidence inspiring.
To their credit, they did comp the meal, which was appreciated. But if you’re craving steak on your way through Bartow… maybe just wave at Ruby Tuesday as you drive by and keep rolling toward Lakeland

The menu is great. Really good food and not what I’m used to for a Ruby Tuesday so I feel the revamp worked. Clean inside and great new look. I got what’s essentially Parmeasean Mac n Cheese and it’s a solid combo. Fried pickle fries are a bit pricey for remixed typical fried pickles but still tasted great.
Tina was out server and definitely 5 stars. Very attentive while working the bar. All the refills and plate clearing. Thank Tina!

My friend and I ordered honey glazed salmon. It was our 4th time for this menu and we can tell the difference taste which was the best, the salad had more rich flavor and the salmon were perfect. We really enjoyed them. I asked Jena who was our server about the chef ( Curtis & Christina ) they did a great job. We we impressed about Jena, she was smiling all the time and kept checking on us and also explained about the rewards. All the promotions are absolutely help the clients keep coming back. We do love Ruby Tuesday.

I had an outstanding experience at Ruby Tuesday thanks to our server, Priscilla. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly personable. She checked on us often without ever feeling intrusive and made sure our drinks were always full and everything was prepared just the way we wanted it.
Priscilla’s positive energy truly elevated our meal she was knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations, and handled everything with professionalism and a genuine smile. It’s rare to find service this consistently excellent.
If you’re dining at Ruby Tuesday, ask for Priscilla. She turned a simple dinner into a great experience, and she absolutely deserves 5 stars!
