Ruby’s Celebrates its 33rd Anniversary with $1.99 Burgers!

By Erin

Ever since I was a child I have enjoyed eating out at Ruby’s. It usually meant a trip out to the beach as we’d go to one of the locations at the end of the pier at either Seal Beach or Huntington Beach. For more than three decades, Ruby’s has been welcomed by local communities as the iconic diner of California serving up only the best Americana burgers, fries and shakes around.

To celebrate this special occasion of 33 astonishing years of serving communities across Southern California, Ruby’s Diner is offering a burger special and will be serving up their signature $8 RubyBurgers for only $1.99 on Dec. 7!!!

A destination for family dinners and celebrations, Ruby’s was recently voted the best gourmet burger in California by the OC Register for 2015.

Ruby’s Diner started out as a single restaurant dream and has become an iconic part of our community,” said founder and CEO Doug Cavanaugh, “and we are delighted to celebrate our 33rd anniversary this year.”

Ruby’s will be serving up the ever popular Classic RubyBurger with fries for only $1.99 from 11:30am until closing at all Ruby’s Diners (except airport locations).

The Ruby Burger is a classic taste of Americana featuring a delicious and juicy premium USDA choice beef burger patty topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, fresh tomato, a choice of double-thick American, Swiss, cheddar, bleu, pepper jack or low-fat American cheese and tantalizing RubySauce, served on a grilled gourmet Ruby Bun.

Celebrate Summer with Ruby’s new Shakes! #RubysSummerShakes

Celebrate Summer with Ruby’s new Shakes!

By Erin

Summer is here and what better way to celebrate than with some cool and refreshing shakes from Ruby’s? When Ruby’s asked if I’d come in to try out their new summer shakes, I couldn’t resist! Ruby’s has three new shakes available for a limited time, as sadly, summer doesn’t last forever. So get them while they  last! There are three special flavors for summer – Kit Kat, Double Dark Chocolate and Heath Bar. These shakes will make you Chocolate Happy!

Ruby’s has 40 locations across the U.S. in California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania & Texas.

Rubys-French-Fries

Before we get to the shakes though, we started out with some french fries to share and a nice ice-cold Cherry-Coke! So refreshing on a warm summer night!

Of course, if you go to Ruby’s and have some fries… you are going to want to have a burger with those fries! 😉

Rubys-Hickory-Burger

I had one of my favorites. The Hickory Burger. A half-pound of premium USDA choice beef, topped with two slices of melted cheddar cheese, with thick-cut bacon, crisp lettuce, tomato, Ruby Sauce, and crispy Ruby Rings. Topped with a delicious and zesty BBQ sauce! It’s a whole lot of “yum” in one bite! On the side I got some hot, crispy, garlic fries! I love all the fresh garlic they top them with!

Rubys-Classic-Burger

My friend that I was dining out with, chose one of her personal favorites, The Classic Ruby Burger. Still simple, yet delicious after all these years. Topped with crisp lettuce, tomato, Ruby Sauce and Pepper Jack cheese, makes for another delicious option.

Rubys-Onion-Rings

If you are not a french fry person, then you might like their golden, crispy, onion rings!

Rubys-Apple-Pecan-Blue-Cheese-Salad

Or maybe you are looking for a healthier option, especially if you plan on indulging in a delicious summery shake afterwards? 😉 Then give the Ruby’s Apple, Pecan & Blue Cheese Salad a whirl. A fresh, spring mix of romaine, Julienne apples, dried cranberries, candied pecans and golden raisins tossed in a Pomegranate Vinaigrette with Blue Cheese crumbles. You can also get this served with Chicken if you wish. Now onto the best part, right? Dessert!!

Rubys-Chocolate-Shakes

The first up of the 3 new summer shakes, was the Double Dark Chocolate shake. A very chocolaty shake, topped with chocolate chips, whipped-cream and a cherry. If you love chocolate and want something simple, then you’ll love this one!

Slater’s 50/50 Now OPEN in Rancho Cucamonga!

Slater’s 50/50 Now OPEN in Rancho Cucamonga!

By: Erin

It’s the 4th of July and what could be more American than burgers and bacon? Well boy oh  boy do I have a real treat for you then! I received an invite via email to attend an event that occurred last week at the Slater’s 50/50 Rancho Cucamonga restaurant to come see the new place before its Grand Opening on July 1st and to try out the New Slater’s 50/50 Menu items that were being released July 1st, 2013.  I was very excited for this as I am a HUGE Slater’s fan. I love my bacon!! It is a real special treat. Slater’s is famous for their 50/50 Burgers– which are 50% ground bacon and 50% ground beef.

Here’s a peek into what the new location at Rancho Cucamonga looks like! It’s a beautiful place isn’t it? I loved the layout and with just over 100 beers on tap, that’s my kind of place! At Slater’s it is all about the bacon!!  Almost every item at this restaurant can be ordered with bacon…they even have bacon brownies and bacon milkshakes! We were introduced to THE Scott Slater of Slater’s 50/50 along with Executive Chef Brad Lyons as we started off the evening.

Slater's 50/50

We first started off with the Sweet Potato Fries with an amazing pumpkin sauce ($4.95) followed by the Slater’s Vampire Dip ($8.95). The fries were wonderfully sweet and crispy and I think I could have dipped everything we had in this pumpkin sauce, I loved it so much. The Vampire Dip is roasted garlic, cheese and artichoke dip served in a sourdough bread bowl with fried pita chips. Be prepared for some super gooey cheesiness heaven. It may get a bit messy with the cheese, but it is so worth it.
