The quality of food has significantly deteriorated in the last few years. When I first started to eat here about ten years ago, everything was very good. Nothing fancy, just wholesome American fare at very reasonable prices. Quality was good. That’s changed. The prices aren’t much different from 4-5 years ago but the quality definitely isn’t as good. Brown lettuce on sandwiches is common. Fries are often served cold. Home fries and hash browns are often burned. Burgers taste like the patties are past their use by date. Gravy is almost certainly from a can these days, and not a new one at that. Hash is definitely from a can these days. To be fair, the coffee is good and hot. And the servers are always friendly and prompt. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to have my wife and I return. Very sad what Ruthie’s had become.

Stopped here for lunch on our way throigh the area the other day and had a great meal for a good price. My dad particularly enjoyed the Big R sandwich while mom topped off the meal with a slice of blackberry pie. If we’re ever in the area again I would definitely stop here again for lunch.

I love local restaurants.
But this visit was complete let down.
There is
1. Charge for water
2. 2.00 charge for a extra plate if sharing
3. 75c charge for marinara even if you buy provolone sticks
4. 2.25 for a can of pop/soda
5 cash only be prepared
If you think of a charge they are going to charge for it.
The waitress was not very kind. The crowd was not busy so not sure why this was.
The food was good and the prices are good if you can get over the hidden charges they don’t tell you about
If you have a family this might not be the best stop but worth a shot

Nice “old style” restaurant. All dishes are really cheap and tasty. The service is very friendly. The roasted beef was extremely tasty, only the artificial sauce spoiled the taste.
Would love to come back

Stopped in today with my fiancé and mother in law while driving through town on vacation. They were packed but got us seated very quickly. Breakfast was amazing and the prices were great! Nice friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend the breakfast!

Hot Ham Hoagie is a MUST HAVE! The ham was baked and sliced in-house. Sandwich was served with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and the bread was lightly toasted. Friendly fast service. We also had the Chicken Bacon Melt! That was also served with lettuce tomatoes onion and pickles. Out of this world. Great place for a quick bite. Cash only. Will definitely be back!

At one time this was an enjoyable place to eat. As diners go I know what to expect. This latest visit was horrible. The older aitress was rude and had an attitude. Appeared to seem serving was below her. Even made a comment she was a teacher. She was sloppy in her food delivery, and the food was cold. I asked her about apple dumplings to take out and she couldn’t have been bothered providing info. We will never be back. Good luck if you go there.

This is one of the last REAL diners left, you can get a whole steak on a hoagie bun and add whatever they’ve got in the kitchen on it. Delicious food-insanely great prices!
I’ve only had great service here so I don’t understand some of the other reviews.
It is CASH ONLY!
I have nothing but respect for this wonderful place. I hope it’s around forever. Thank you,

CASH ONLY! Good food, service, and pricing. There is a $2 charge for “extra plate & silverware” and no free refills on soft drinks. That didn’t really bother our party. I got the Breakfast Special – 2 eggs, 4 slices of toast, homefries, and 4 pieces of bacon for $7.50. Everything tasted great and came out quickly. The atmosphere was diner-approved; they had some nice ’80’s songs to top off the mood. 10/10 would frequent again.
