Ruby's Diner

About this business

This Ruby's Diner found at the end of Balboa Pier is the chain's very first establishment. In 1982, owners Doug Cavanaugh and Ralph Kosmides transformed an old bait shop into a 40's diner complete with red booths and malt machine. Since then the duo has opened restaurants in more than five other states, where the kitchen serves burgers, dogs and other American diner classics. This original on the pier is no different, although the views are probably the best ones out of the group.

Love the Shakes and Fries We adore the shakes, I always get Oreo Cookie, the wife gets Strawberry. The fries are good too, and the service is always friendly and fast! We'll be back for more, no doubt.

Yummy Food! Unfortunately the night we went their gift card processor was out of order, so we came back another day.

Mmmm This place is hard to beat. I'm not sure if Ruby's has been around since the 50's but I'm sure it'll be here a long time. The burgers are tasty and I really like that they stopped using transfats for their fries. My only gripe is that their iced tea could taste better.

View Makes it Worth It We always take people here who visit from out of town beause of the great view off the pier. It's really pretty fun and you feel part of the cool so. cal atmosphere here. Plus, they now sell coupons gift cards here for a discount at Costco, so the savings add up. The burgers and shakes are A-OK. I will return.
