This place often gets overlooked however, they have great food and an even better salad bar. Right now when you sign up for the app you receive all kinds of promos. We had the Philly cheese steak which was very good. We will be back for sure.
Ruby Tuesday in Lecanto, FL offered a mostly enjoyable dining experience. We ordered the Ribeye and Ribs combo, and it was fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The ribs were equally impressive, falling off the bone with a rich, smoky taste. We appreciated the option to substitute fries instead of a baked potato, and they were hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. Our server Laura, was kind and accommodating, checking in frequently and ensuring our table had everything we needed. The restaurant itself was active yet organized, with a clean and comfortable atmosphere that made dining pleasant. I also ordered the Philly steak, which however, was disappointing. The hoagie was ok but the meat tasted from yesterday and bitter, lacked the rich flavor I was expecting, and the texture felt off — and underwhelming compared to the rest of our meal. On the bright side, the drinks were refreshingly brisk, and my root beer hit the spot with its bold, satisfying taste. Overall, Ruby Tuesday delivered an enjoyable meal with standout steaks, ribs, and friendly service. While the Philly steak didn’t meet expectations, the positive aspects still made it a worthwhile visit. I’d recommend this spot for anyone craving a hearty, satisfying meal in Lecanto.
Ruby Tuesday's in Inverness, FL has a ghost/virtual kitchen called "Wow Boa." I am not new to virtual or ghost kitchens. Overall, my experience has been good. Let me tell you something....(come closer) THIS IS TRASH! 1. Their menu portray the food as Asian fusion. It has a panda express feel on the website. Thisbis American fusion pretending to be Asian. The only Asian connection is the Bao. 2. The food does not taste good. Maybe to a novice palette it's different than your average fare. Even to a nonfoodie I wouldn't think this is good. 3. Do you see my photos? This "meal" is $20.12 with tax. You can get a steak, 2 sides and a drink for the same price off the Ruby Tuesday's menu. You're literally get a half cup of the entrée and half cup of rice. 4. I waited over 20 minutes for this "combo" and my Bao filling was still cold. The oil from the cheeseburger bao was congealed. Hoooow? I live 4min away from the restaurant. There's no way the inside of the bun got cold that quickly. It was never hot to begin with. Oh and you cannot order and eat this in Ruby Tuesday's. It's take out according to the hostess. 5. You can't order extra white rice. I should have known at this point the kitchen is a cash grab, but I was trying to give the benefit of doubt. I thought maybe I could order extra at the restaurant. But No, it's all 3rd party based. And I can't see an Asian inspired anything selling fried rice but not white rice. It's contemptible. 6. The only reason they got 3 stars from me is because the bartender was really sweet and accommodating. The staff I interacted with was nice, to me. They deserve some kudos. Mr. Sellers and corporate need to rethink Wow Bao. It's more like, "Wow Run Now!" Skip this offering.

Reviews

Ruby Tuesday received mixed reviews, with some customers praising the friendly and personable staff like Athena and Brad, as well as the delicious food offerings such as the Steak Fajitas and Honey Bourbon Salmon. The salad bar was a highlight for many visitors, described as beautifully presented and fresh. However, there were negative comments about inconsistent service quality at different locations, portion sizes in DoorDash orders, and issues with food preparation like raw coconut shrimp on Mother's Day.

I want to first acknowledge and commend Miss Destiny. She is on top of the salad bar. She keeps everything full, fresh and clean. Although we have been enjoying our salad bar passes, and both of us successfully gotten our weight under control I cannot not mention their desserts, which as our reward we indulged in. One dessert is large enough to be split with 2. The new manager has been a delight, and the attitude of staff reflects that. We've been going 3 to 6 nights a week and have experienced great service. It's like going to Cheers, where everyone knows your name, or at least what you like. Thank you Lori, Amber, Lilly for making our evenings a joy, I am horrible with names, but also to the hostess, and the rest of the serving staff. The kitchen crew deserves recognition also, never had a bad hot meal, and their timing, food placement, even when every table is full, is awesome!

Wow! We just had the best server that I have come across in years. We had the pleasure of enjoying Brad’s stellar service. From the moment he arrived to greet my husband and I he was friendly, kind, personable and very attentive. Throughout our entire time dining Brad checked in on us frequently but not in an annoying way. He was bright, efficient and very polite. We will be back!
