We are world travelers and this is in our top 10! A huge burger that took me back to the 70s when homemade and quality were on the menu. My Dad had the ham. The Mac and Cheese was lite and delicious. The Cole Slaw was southern sweet and finely grated, which is a timely step. Oh, and the huge delicious biscuit. The service was warm and precise. Everyone should try Ruby's!

An absolute GEM!! Driving through and found this place. We missed breakfast that ends at 11, but had the Bubba burger! It came with basically an entire salad on it! Very good!!! Then had the Apple Poke cake to finish! We will be back!

We came in at peak lunch time, service was great and our food was prepared quickly. Our teenage boys had the HUGE double cheese burgers, one of them couldn't finish it. I had the best restaurant meatloaf I've probably ever had. My husband had the chicken salad croissant; the chicken salad was awesome and the grilled croissant was fantastic. All the portions were massive; I took half my meal to go.

You can't ask for anything better than this . The customer service is amazing and the food is all homemade . Prices are a lot cheaper than most places and you get what you pay for here too .

This is my go-to restaurant in Benton, TN. Great food and service are tops. Always a crowd because they know where to go for good country cooking served by a smiling face. Seniors get a discount on some items. Even the senior size of food is very generous! Tami Robin, who works there, always treats me like family. She always has a smile on her face and a big "hello. How're you doing today?" I highly recommend Ruby's..

We came to TN for a rafting trip, and stopped by ruby's for breakfast before heading to the river. Our waitress asked why we were in town, and we told her it was our anniversary trip. When she came back with my strawberry pancakes, the cooks had made it a giant heart Pancake for us. It was adorable and very kind, and also perfectly cooked. My eggs over easy were also perfect!
