Your typical Ruby’s with that classic diner vibe. The food was great, as well as the service. We got a guacamole burger, Rubyclub, BLTA, hickory burger, and a vanilla and strawberry shake. The food was hot and crispy and the shakes were nice and cold. Service was also great. Just be sure to use the restroom before you get to the restaurant, as there isn’t one on the pier, not even a sink. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Finally got to sit down and eat at this classic location right above the water. Ordered the Classic cheese burger that came with a side of fries for $14.99. Can’t beat that deal especially if you’re around this part of Balboa. All the restaurants are on shore so you won’t get the best seats, but you can’t go wrong with a hot sandwich with the cool breeze hitting your face. Watch out for the birds; they are bold enough to bother you while you’re eating, waiting at a chance for those fries to slip on to the floor.

Long Standing Diner at the end of the Pier serving greasy fried food and burgers. The food is greasy and not that great for the price. We got two burgers and two cokes and paid $54 with tax and tip. That’s way too much for greasy burger and fries at a diner. The view is the attraction, yet you really can’t see much with the wood bars surrounding the edge of the pier and all the people either standing or walking in front of you. The pigeons are unreal as well. Very unpleasant. Service is friendly but hard to get anyone’s attention when you need something. It was ok, certainly not worth $55. In addition, parking is paid.
No restrooms either–you have to go to the beginning of the Pier, other end from this diner, not good. Oh well. It’s a tourist trap for sure.

We just had a birthday celebration at the beach and decided to eat here since it was close and convenient. What a pleasant surprise! The Ruby burger I had was fresh and delicious. The garlic fries were hot, crispy, and flavorful. The service was extremely friendly and welcoming. Literally everyone in our group kept raving about how much they enjoyed their food. It was a beautiful and novel experience dining outside on the pier with the beautiful ocean all around us.

Beautiful location on the end of the Balboa Pier. This is the original Ruby’s location. Possibly the best malt I’ve ever had! Seriously. Atmosphere was incredible. If you opt to dine outside, like we did, you are surrounded by people fishing from the pier. We watched a guy catch and land (and subsequently release) a skate while we were eating. Lots if fun!

Tough to beat sitting outside on a sunny day at the end of the pier, looking out over the ocean. Word of caution though, everything that adds to the charm may turn off certain folks. Seagulls, fish smell, etc. This is not fine dining, but the food is very good. Highly recommend the Asian Chicken salad and the burgers, fries and milkshakes!

Walking along the pier, one immediately notices the laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere. Families gather to fish, couples stroll hand-in-hand, and surfers paddle out to catch waves that roll in near the shoreline. The salty breeze, the sound of gulls, and the rhythmic crash of the waves create an immersive experience that feels both calming and invigorating. The pier is particularly striking at sunset, when the sky is awash in warm tones of orange and pink, making it a prime spot for photographers and romantics alike. The surrounding Balboa Village and Fun Zone further enhance the pier’s appeal. Just a short walk away, you’ll find arcades, boat rentals, and ferry rides that connect to Balboa Island. The area buzzes with energy during the summer months, offering everything from street performers to local shops selling beach gear and handmade souvenirs. Despite the lively atmosphere, the pier itself retains a sense of calm, serving as a peaceful escape from the busier boardwalk.

This post is overdue as we went in the spring this year. We were playing at the Newport Beach for a bit and were in search of lunch. We came across this cute diner right on the pier. We sat inside although they have a patio area. The server was friendly and quick! We each ordered burgers and fries. The portion of fries is large. The burgers were delicious. It was fun checking out this retro diner. Great service! You can see the dedicated team here. Bravo!
