Had a fantastic lunch here. I wish I could give the atmosphere 10 stars. Finished our lunch and had cocktails and played a game in front of the fireplace. Absolutely beautiful. We have no complaints about our food at all.

Went for our Anniversary dinner. I ordered the walleye dinner – pan fried as recommended by our waitress. Husband ordered the prime rib melt. Both were soooo good ! Wish I would have taken pictures. Nancy was our server and she was nothing short of amazing! She was great on all levels. Would highly recommend!

where do i start. upon walking in, i felt like i entered the place i see in my nyquil dreams. dinner at ruby’s wasn’t on my dime, so i preceded with caution. caution wasn’t enough. $18 for bowling alley appetizers and $2 bread service was beyond ludicrous, not to mention the piece of plastic found in our pizza. the whole experience rivaled that of an impractical jokers punishment but without the camera crew. will this make insane lore at the next family reunion? yes. will my intestines forgive me? not for another 3-5 business days.

We have been here numerous times over the last 5 yrs and it’s been hit or miss so haven’t written a review, but last night was a huge hit so I had to! I had the prime rib with brie mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts and WOW. Best prime rib I have ever had , excellent au jus and creamy horseradish, the brussels were fresh rather than frozen which makes a huge difference. To top that off, the price was super reasonable. Aiesha was my server and did a fabulous job. All in all a pleasant surprise and I can’t wait to go back!

I would minus stars on food if I could. Had the “german” Oktoberfest buffet. It was disgusting!!!!!! Tables around us also voiced not liking it. I ate a small salad and mean small. I tried four items and one was worse than the next. I complained after we had to have another server get ours so I could complain. The manager came over and said, “have you ever eaten German food?”. I answered my favorite restaurant is Gasthaus Bavarian hunter. She said she would discount the meal. Well, a whole $8 came off the $40 buffet price. What a bunch of bull that was!!!! Needless to say, I will NEVER BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!! Awful, don’t do their speciality buffets, you will regret it!!!

Skip the wild rice bowl.
On June 6, 2024 in the early evening my friends and I were seated in the Ruttger’s dining area. I looked at the menu earlier that day to select my entrée which was the Wild Rice Bowl. It sounded delicious because I have had similar dishes before made with purple cabbage and was looking forward to crispy baked purple tofu in garlic oil. Properly baked tofu is very crispy on the outside while flavorful and moist on the inside. So I hope you can appreciate my bitter DISAPPOINTMENT when I was served BARELY SAUTÉED, WHITE, LIMP tofu. I took a bite to discern its flavor I discovered it had none, other than RAW tofu. Regarding the advertised promise of garlic oil and baked purple tofu: there was none, I refused to eat it and had the waitron send it back. After around ten minutes the waitron presented me with the cooks mitigated version, the only difference was the tofu this time was deep fried in an attempt to attain a crispy exterior but like the first version it was FLAVORLESS and once again I had the waitron remove it from our table. My final DISAPPOINTMENT: the waitron did not offer me an opportunity to select an alternate entrée at a reduced or free cost. The only bright spot was the price of my dinner was reduced to zero.
My final verdict: Phbbfpt.
I assure you I will never dine in this restaurant again nor will I recommend it to any of my friends or acquaintances.

Where to begin with describing the experience at Ruby’s dining room….
For starters, I get goosebumps every time I walk into those hallowed halls. The great ceilings, the nostalgia, the history….if only those walls could talk….
I’d go to Ruby’s to eat week old Kraft mac ‘n’ cheese just to be there and soak it all in, but luckily I don’t have to.
In fact, the converse of that is also true….I’d go to eat in a cinder block bunker in January to enjoy the wonderful tablefare served at Ruby’s. You can tell pretty quickly, and pretty easily, when you’re dining at an establishment that employs a team of chefs versus a handful of cooks….and the chefs at Ruby’s/Ruttger’s don’t disappoint. There are people who are “chefs” by title only, and then there are true culinary artists. The chefs at Ruttger’s are the latter. The kitchen is their orchestra hall, the food is their musicians, and what ends up being served on your plate is their wonderful symphony.
When the ambiance and atmosphere of such a historic, truly wonderful venue is combined with cuisine as magnificent as I just described?
You get to enjoy the fine dining that can only be experienced at Ruby’s Dining Room.

Wasn’t busy, the service was the worst! 15 minutes til we were even greeted. Waited for almost an hour for nothing fancy or special (food wise) my husband never even received his salad! We asked for it 3 different times, and their response was “yea I’ll go check.”
He finally got in a to go box and it didn’t have the meat that came with the salad. And they still charged us full price!!

Stay away from the coffee, and breakfast. The walleye however is great. I had 2 breakfasts, lunch and dinner here. The fish was good. The lunch burger was decent but breakfast was horrible and took over 30 minutes to receive overcooked eggs, one piece of toast (usually you get 2?) and no fruit on my plate. Twice. I see a pattern.
