Ruby's Diner - Newport Beach

Very crowded. The food was good and decently priced.

Adorable shack at the end of the pier with outdoor dining and a small indoor dining area as well. Excellent service. Had the Cobb burger and it was AMAZING. Warning no bathrooms in restaurant. If ya gotta go, go at the start of the pier before you eat : Our view from inside the shack attached!

We love Ruby's! Especially this super special original location. We try to come in multiple times whenever we are in the area for a week or a month's time. The employees are fantastic! They are warm and friendly (even in inclement weather). They are so sweet to our children. They absolutely remember them even though I would not say we are technically regulars since our primary residence is currently out of state. I have been so impressed each and every visit. They always go out of their ways to ensure the kids have a great and memorable experience! This time they even gave the kids mini Mustang cobras to build out of cardboard stickers with which they could decorate them. Thanks Ruby's for the fun and the positive vibes/great memories in the making. We truly love you guys (Melissa, Adrian, Victor all the rest), and will continue to patronize this location every chance we get.

Great food, service, and location. We were visiting the pier area and I stumbled across this restaurant at the end of the pier. I stopped to order some food, then realized there was a full restaurant. So I grabbed a seat outside looking over the ocean. The server was excellent! All the food was good and it came out very quick. Food for 5 people wasn't overpriced either. Another place I'd recommend coming to if you're on the beach or near the pier.

Obviously the location is awesome! Nothing beats eating on a pier. There is a walk up window you can order at or you can do full sit down service inside, outside, or in the roof. The portion sizes were good and all the food was typical Ruby's flavor. Everything was great, the only downfall really is there is no bathroom there. I totally get it you're on a pier. It just sucks when you have to walk your toddler to the restroom at the other end of the pier midway through your meal. Something to keep in mind
