Ruby's Kitchen

Went to this place after working 12 hours this evening and was EXTREMELY dissatisfied. The lady and the front desk was very pleasant but the food was the complete opposite. I ordered the 3 piece wing and 6 piece shrimp dinner for my boyfriend and myself. I picked our food up and took it home and was floored by what I saw when I opened the box. My chicken wings were the size of my 4 month old cousins hand. They were not seasoned and were over cooked. It was 6 wings in the box and that’s what I thought the came with. My macaroni and cheese was all over cooked noodles and hardly any cheese and it was cold. My boyfriend enjoyed his sides but felt the same disdain for the wings. The shrimp were good. That’s it. The peach cobbler is the most vile thing I’ve tasted in a while. It curdled as soon as I put it in my mouth. No sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon or anything. Under cooked and disgusting. I called to let them know what I felt and was told that the meal came with 3 wings and the cook gave me 3 extra to make up for the wings being so small. Not good enough. Was told that they will put my name in a book and I could come in and redeem 2 3 piece wing dinners but I’m so irritated, that I don’t even want the replacements. I would like my $50.57 back. That was not worth my money at all and it goes without saying that I will not be back.

First visit, ordered takeout. Very well satisfied. Wanted catfish but knew better than to order on First Friday. Saturday was perfect; before dinner hour, take out. Ordered Catfish, Onion Rings, Cole Slaw. Came with fries which I usually give to puppy. He didn't like, for whatever reason (though I don't like much but had to try, tasted fine to me). Onion rings were great, as was Catfish and slaw. I've been in toledo, best Catfish I've had and onion rings in the top 4. We'll be back soon. . .

The atmosphere was nice, and people there were very friendly. After purchasing my food and not really enjoying it, I went to read the reviews on the restaurant. Maybe I should have read them first. I wanted to see if anyone else felt like I did about the food, lesson learned. Truly, there isn't a great grandma cooking back in their kitchen. The food was horrible; the people that's on here leaving the nice reviews obviously had their cooking before covid, smh, or maybe you are family members/friends, because what I had today was a NoNo!! I've never seen nor tasted peach cobbler like that; the corn was too sweet, the cobbler could have used some of that sugar.. The mac and cheese taste better from KFC, and the mash potatoes were straight from a box. Can you guys get the soul in your food. Ask grandma to come out of retirement, the restaurant needs her. Hell, I need her. $40 is a lot of money to be throwing away on food that has no soul. I just saying

My sisters in-laws used to frequent this restaurant and they have both passed. She wanted to try it and reminisce a little. I’m always game for something different. The catfish was off the chain!!! I’ve never had catfish fillets that big and sooooooo delicious. They had a steady flow of takeout customers and it took a little bit to get our food but it was so worth the wait. The only disappointment was they only serve greens and sweet potato pie on Sunday. I guess I’ll have to show up on a Sunday.
