I worked at rubys from 2016-2020 and I can say ABSOLUTELY the pandemic killed our store. We always joked about how bad our store was and we'd shit down any day but then it actually happened and we all lost our jobs.

Kevin Loder says:

I love Ruby Tuesday

Kevin Loder says:

It’s good in Tulsa. I want it back in Oregon.

I was a corporate trainer for Ruby Tuesday’s throughout the ‘90s and went into management near the end. I opened probably 20 units for them and worked in dozens of units up and down the east coast. In my opinion their IPO was the turning point. Until then the food quality was very high, most of the food was prepped in house, but after the IPO the shift was to cheaper, and therefore, lower quality ingredients. Microwaves became the primary cooking tool for a lot of the menu. And also, I can confirm that units were closed without any notice, just a sign on the door when the staff arrived to work. Was pretty disgraceful.

This also used to be one of the places my parents and I would usually go to whenever we were at the mall. I personally liked Ruby Tuesday a lot better before they decided to be more like an upscale restaurant. In the 90's, they had a much more laid back, casual atmosphere with a lot of cool vintage items and pictures hanging on the walls, TV sets to watch while waiting for your food, a great mix of music playing, and they had a much better variety of food, as well. I especially miss those long brown breadsticks and honey butter (delicious!) and that Ruby Magic smoothie they used to serve. Even their desserts were so good back in the day. And yeah, I even miss those tiffany lamps. Now I find the atmosphere of their current restaurants to be boring and trying too hard to look upscale, and the selection on the menu leaves a lot to be desired. The older items they still serve just don't taste the same. The only thing my mom still likes about them is the salad bar.

Jimmy Vanahoose says:

That restaurant sucks go to the one in Huntington West Virginia inside the mall

Gamefreak198 says:

Hahahahaha. I fully enjoyed this video. Ruby's doesn't give a fuck about workers and they have no idea what they're doing.

John Ronald says:

I'm sad I never ate there before the Sikeston, MO location closed. I guess COVID-19 probably killed them off.

GianCarlo Feliciano Castaneda says:

The one in Lancaster, PA was set to close but the mayor bought the location and made it into a franchise.

Binima says:

Great video! RIP RT 💔 It was my family’s go to spot

Kylie The Little Spider-Man Girl says:

Nice job here! I’m looking forward to seeing a new Abandoned Locations video.

Phyllis Craig says:

We use to go to Ruby Tuesday all the time when we went to the mall. I can remember going there with a group of about 20 people from work, and the food was good we all enjoyed ourselves. This particular location was attached to the mall, and was seen immediately as you entered the malls main parking entrance. We even would go to the mall just to eat at Ruby Tuesday and leave. During this time around 2003 the mall was still doing pretty well, still had foot traffic and no anchor stores were sitting empty. Two weeks later Ruby Tuesday closed, no one knew why. Just closed. Fast Forward about 12 years later I was visiting family and we decided to go to a stand alone Ruby Tuesday that was built and opened in their area about 40 miles away. As I sat there and read the menu I kept thinking its like they only have burgers, and not much selection. That was my last time eating there. I just felt like everything was missing and nothing stood out like it did before. They obviously slimmed the menu. That location I believe is now also closed. When the Mall location closed abruptly it was rumored they were going to build a stand alone restaurant which left people hopeful but that never materialized.

Mr. Pete Channel is 100 away 2 the big time! says:

They have declared chapter 11. Hope they make it. Good salad bar

ultimatehunter36 says:

I used to go to Ruby Tuesday’s but the food wasn’t the best thing in the world for me but it was good and the one I live close to is around 50 minutes

Slacking Packing says:

Thanks for the video! I miss going to
Ruby Tuesday, my local one closed a long time ago in a mall, my nearest one is now 40 minutes away.

toolshed0513 says:

I worked for Ruby Tuesday for just over 11 years, and I can say first hand that it was terrible.

Caleb Douglas says:

RT and Friendly’s are practically out the door. I remember when the one in Daytona closed and they were always famous for their salad bars.
