Ruby Tuesday - Moosic

Ruby Tuesday is a great choice when you're out with a group and no one can agree on what to eat. The menu offers a good variety, encompassing pasta, beef, chicken, ribs, chops, seafood, burgers, and sandwiches, though it may not have an extensive selection within each category. The desserts are also enjoyable, with plenty of options available. So why only four stars? Ruby Tuesday feels a bit like a fallback option—you can come here when you're not in the mood for anything specific. While none of the dishes stand out as exceptional, they are all of decent quality. The atmosphere on Wednesdays is pleasant, with the bar area situated conveniently and seating options that provide some flexibility (which I appreciate). The staff is friendly, though like many places, there's a high turnover. This location strikes a nice balance between cozy and open, and overall, I find the atmosphere quite enjoyable.

We visited for my daughter's birthday, and she received complimentary ice cream for dessert. The waiter was fantastic! I was also pleased to see that the staff included more experienced individuals, as it really contributes to a better atmosphere.

We were staying at a hotel nearby, which is why we chose to visit this restaurant for convenience. We typically prefer to avoid chain establishments and often look for smaller, family-run or chef-owned places instead.

The restaurant was quite busy, with only one waitress on duty. The salad bar offered fresh and delicious options. However, I was disappointed that the soup and salad combo cost $15.99. While the salad was tasty, the soup was below average and didn't justify the price, especially considering that a steak with shrimp is less expensive. On a positive note, the waitress, Nicole, was incredibly nice and hardworking. I admired her dedication, and as a token of appreciation, I even gave her a little gift. Her ability to stay positive and keep working hard was truly impressive.

We've dined here twice during our stay at the hotel next door—once in the restaurant and once for takeout. As a chain, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Some dishes are quite good, while others are less impressive.
