We are just visiting the area and so it was our first time stumbling upon Ruby’s and we were absolutely in love! It was the cutest place, the food was good and the staff was so friendly and attentive! I was very impressed how clean and in pristine condition everything was! Not sure how long this location has been here but the chrome was sparkling, the white walls were spotless, the neon was bright and the aesthetics were amazing. We love anything retro and nostalgic feeling especially fun diners and this one was just perfect! It really gave the feeling of going back in time!

I used to go to rubys all the time as a little kid and I came back for a nostalgic moment during a birthday trip with my partner. I wanted to show him where I spent a lot of my summers which included rubys! We were there 9/30. I told him all about the car menus, gumball machine, and the moving trains/cars in the sky. We were served by Gerardo who was so welcoming and made me feel as if I was a child again. He went above and beyond for us. He gave us the car menus and turned on the trains so I could experience it all. I truly appreciate him for making my memories come rushing back and made such a special moment even more special! Thank you Gerardo!!

There was nothing like ending the day with dinner at Ruby’s Diner in Corona del Mar, right on Pacific Coast Highway. The red booths, the jukebox, the salty breeze drifting in from the ocean—it all felt like stepping back in time. We’d grab a window seat, watching the cars roll by and the sun slowly dip into the Pacific.
Dinner was always a comfort ritual: crispy golden fries, perfectly seasoned onion rings, and those ridiculously addictive fried green beans—served hot and ready to share. The Cobb salad was our attempt at balance (kind of), right before diving into thick, juicy burgers piled high with everything we loved. And the drinks? Always Cherry Cokes and root beers, ice cold, served in those tall, retro glasses that made everything taste better.
We’d laugh, talk about anything and everything, and linger longer than we should’ve, never wanting the night to end. Ruby’s wasn’t just a diner—it was our little slice of classic Americana by the coast. Those nights were simple, warm, and unforgettable. If you know, you know.

The food was amazing! The burgers are huge and looked even better than the photos on the menu. The staff is super friendly. Our food came out quick and it was fresh and hot. The chicken tenders are so good! Hand breaded and delicious. I’m sad I didn’t save room for dessert because the shakes look amazing! I love the old time diner feel! Will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Very friendly and cozy location compared to other Rubys. Guacamole burger delicious I asked for Cajun fries but they put a boatload of Cajun was too much but otherwise they was good. Lemonade is terrible not even real lemons taste like sugar and water.

Ruby’s never gets old! On a perfect December day between storms, my family and I decided to get some Ruby’s to-go and go sit on the bluffs overlooking big Corona. We ordered burgers, tenders, and salads, with some milkshakes and onion rings. The staff gave us drinks while we sat and waited and made small talk which was fun. We watched people come and go and then it was our turn to head out. Seated on the bluffs, we enjoyed our lunch and the views of San Clemente and Catalina Islands. Perfect!

We stopped here while visiting the area. Our group of 8 was sat outside since inside had a longer wait – beautiful weather! The staff was incredibly friendly & had a great sense of humor. The especially took care of the kids. The manager even came out to visit with us & shared the history of the diner. The food was excellent – especially the shakes! Would DEFINITELY go back to sample more of the menu!

I decided to take my beautiful lady to this Ruby’s for breakfast for her birthday after our early morning walk on the beach. Wow! Everything was awesome from the moment we walked in the door! But the greatest part of our visit was our waiter, Alfredo! This guy deserves a raise! We live over 30 minutes away, but we will definitely be returning soon because of this man! Decor was great, food was great, music was great, but Alfredo was absolutely amazing!!!!
