We visited this place while we were shopping. We were pleasantly surprised; the decor transports you to the 60s, the service is very friendly, and the food is delicious.
We tried hamburgers, hot dogs, milkshakes…everything was delicious! I loved that the waiter tried to speak to us in Spanish, he was very friendly!

Very cute and authentic diner with fantastic food! We went here after Legoland and they had these cute little cardboard cars to make for the kids, which they loved putting their characters in. They had a great kids menu and milkshakes were so delicious! Staff were charming and fast. This was the perfect cap to our trip.

I’m a huge fan of American diners and restaurants with a solid breakfast menu. The food was good and came out swiftly. The coffee was rather gross with a bitter/sour flavor to it. Refills on coffee/service were non-existent for most of our visit, but the staff was friendly otherwise.

Second time here this week. Lunch last time, breakfast this time. The banana pecan French toast was amazing. The home fries were OK, need a little more toasting. Overall great omellette and biscuits and gravy

I was reminiscing about Ruby’s Diner, one of my favorite dining locations at the Oceanside Pier.
They had closed many years ago and the building recently burnt down. But after doing a search online, I realize that they had a location in Carlsbad.
This is my review of Ruby’s Diner in the Carlsbad outlet mall.
I am very happy that this Ruby’s Diner is only 15 minutes away from downtown Oceanside.
Although I don’t come to this mall frequently, I may start returning more often thanks to my experience eating here.
Ruby’s Diner is known as a Classic American Diner that is well known for their burgers, fries & milkshakes. They’re also famous for their vintage 50’s & 60’s themed decor & music.
Their interior is very spacious and accommodate groups and families easy.
You can also choose to sit outside on the patio as well.
The vintage theme has various paraphernalia and decorations from the 60s era.
They also have a functioning train set that runs a track on the ceiling above. The kids love it!
I think the only CON I found for their atmosphere was in regards to their men’s restroom being too small and only having 1 stall & 1 urinal.
Their service is always courteous, fast & friendly and I love their uniforms.
Although their menu is based on an American diner theme, there are many other options to help diversify one’s dining choices.
For breakfast, you can find items like eggs Benedict, omelettes, avocado toast, breakfast burritos, biscuits & gravy, chicken fried steak, waffles, pancakes, French toast, and of course, a typical American breakfast with eggs and bacon.
Their lunch and dinner menu is just as extensive.
Their portions are very fair considering the price, and overall, I love the customization options for customers who want to create their own flavor experiences by mixing & matching ingredients.
My most recent experience was with a Cobb burger, Cajun Fries and a Salted Caramel Milkshake. I loved the variance from salty bacon, to juicy burger, to seasoned crispy fries & the sweet sips of heaven!
Anytime I want a true vintage dining experience, I come to Ruby’s Diner in Carlsbad to send me down memory lane. I recommend!

We liked the pancakes and Benedicts with hash browns here. Burgers are well cooked and prepared. Not tried tacos, burritos, we always chose breakfast items or burgers.

This place is in with the outlet mall. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Service was absolutely fantastic and food was excellent. We sat outside and it was beyond beautiful. Burgers, salads, fish and chips…we had this and all were delish. Highly recommend.

After checking out all the cool classic cars at Windmill Food parking lot, I had a hankering for a bacon cheeseburger at a diner…Rubio’s came to mind and was close by. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and diet coke. I was grateful they had more cheese options than Swiss and American cheese. Additionally, they had cheddar and muenster, both very good alternatives to my “Sammich”.
I chose muenster! Bacon was thick and cooked crispy the way I like it. Fries were interesting..in a good way. Something was different about it, but I could not put my finger on it..(that’s an idiom, ). Actually I could eat it with my fingers…hehe.., but not to know why it was different (idiom, i said that already, huh?). Service was quick and cheerful, even though it was busy. I do recommend coming here. If there was anything I would change about my meal, it would be my drink (diet coke) in a plastic drinking cup. I have a pet peeve about reusable plastic drinking cups on the edges…any deformity, chips, dents freak me out a bit….I likened it to a small child that drank out of it and chewed on the lid…shutter….( Of course, it could be a nervous adult, too).. This is why i rub my finger along the edge… Okay, okay, back to my safe place….just kidding. I do prefer to drink my soda out of a glass. I reckon y’all know why now. Hm
Enjoy, come on by…
Oh yes, about the plastic drinking cup…if you start doing what i do now… sorry about that.

Lovely diner with friendly staff and great typical american breakfast options. I had the chicken fried steak and my sister tried the Eggs benedict. We loved both! The portions are large and delicious.
The highlight for me was the cute toy train track with an electric toy train near the ceiling that runs all around the restaurant! Definitely kid friendly and entertaining.
