It was a Ruby's with 60's cars in front, and burgers inside. Just what a needed after a long business trip away from home. Got to be around families, hear kids talking, and eat without cloth napkins. Food tasted great for what it was, burgers and fries. Wish my grand kids were there to enjoy it with me.

Nice place with average to good food. It is fun for kids who love the breakfasts and at lunch french fry refills are free .Nice soda fountain type options and fun to get a vanilla cola. the burgers are really good but not quite the level of the Counter burger. When with kids this is the place to go.

Stopped at Ruby's in Corona Del Mar for lunch on our way home. We shared an Old-Timer with fries and a wedge salad. Wonderful hamburger, but the fries weren't hot. When I mentioned it to the waitress, she immediately alerted the kitchen and soon arrived with a basket of hot, crisp skinny fries that were worth the wait!

We arrived at 1pm and were surprised that it was still very busy. We were seated almost immediately and ordered our milkshakes (I had a peanut butter cup and my husband had a vanilla), they arrived quickly and were very good! I also had the American burger with fries. The burger was a bit greasy but good. The fries were... More

Is outdoors on a bluff directly above the pacific ocean. When I know it's going to be a nice sunset and I am within 20 miles of the place, I will make my way to rubys. The food is great, the desserts are better and the view is fantastic. I have seen dolphins, whales, beautiful boats and great sunsets while... More

The 1950's collector cars in the front, set the mood as soon as we drove in. We were particularly impressed with the turquoise Edsel. Breakfast was fabulous! It is difficult to find healthy pancakes and their's are extra special. They are made of whole... More

If your staying in Montage and dont want to pay hotel prices for breakfast then Rubys Diner is the place to go. Only a five walk from hotel. Good food and good coffee.
