The beach location is great. The chicken Caesar salad was a nice compromise ( most of their food is on the high fat / triglycerides side ) for a healthy lunch .
If you're a tourist visiting, this is kind of a necessity. Locals, we can do without the scene. But there's not much that can compare to memories of a milkshake on a Saturday night at Ruby's
Can be pricey . Best to eat something else before and then order a milkshake on the top deck.
Ride your bike along the beachfront then walk to the end of the pier for some good eats. Waitress was very friendly and food was deliscious! The fries were epic, and views of the surrounding mountains
Ranch burger is da bomb!
The ORIGINAL Ruby's Diner...make sure you use the restrooms BEFORE YOU GET HERE...NO RESTROOMS.
Bring a jacket if you sit outside in the shade. Great burgers & view !
Amazing view on the Pacific!

Sit on the rooftop deck overlooking the ocean and the Balboa Pier , worth the extra wait time.
Must to tray the milkshake ????
Best milkshakes ever

Save money! Throw your kids off the pier ! It's free!
The birthplace of the Ruby’s Diner !

Must sit on the deck and enjoy the view !
Yummiest cinnamon rolls !
Albacore melt
Eat on the roof for beautiful view
Just to let you know, you are in THE original Ruby's Diner. So feel special.
Get it to go and have it on the sand.
They don't serve alcohol on the tables outside , downstairs
Paper plate kinda place!
The waitress just completely ignored us the whole time. They delivered us the wrong food and it was cold
This place has the WORST service. For a small place with 20 or so tables you'd think they were running a small village .
Aloha burger . Mind will be blown.
There are no bathrooms on the pier
Make sure you use the bathroom before you get there. There's no bathroom in the resturant...
The Parmesan Bleu fries are amazing! Everything else was just average.
best Ruby's in all of LA!
Me llevaron la comida helada pero resolvieron rapido, bonita vista y las papas con cajun y las de ajo son lo mejor del mundo!.

Lots of good kid friendly beach area with great pic opportunities on the pier. Tons of shopping too. - Jeremy Anslow
Love the variety of games for the kids, scenic view, plenty of shops, and restaurants to choose from. Be cautious because parking in some sections is only for a limited time, and they do ticket! - Dee Dee
Very good prices! You get so much food for such a good price. The staff was very friendly and my food came out very quickly. Try the rice bowl! It's good, I'm not a huge veggie fan, but it was good! - Abigail Shilts
