219 Mulberry St

Came here today for lunch. Around 12/12:30 on a Saturday it was a 30 minute wait. By the time we were at the table, it was near an hour wait. We ordered the Ruby Ragu pasta and the cream chicken pasta. The food was really tasty. We sat down, ordered, and ate in less time than us waiting to be seated. The food was yummy and worth the wait. I see why folks were coming here. FYI: The bathroom is past the kitchen and the door to get seated SLIDES!!!! I don't know how many people kept trying to push and pull hahah

Great service, excellent food. My biggest complaint is the place is TINY and tables are very close together. I realize this is NYC and maximizing the space, but if you're bigger than a size 8, you might not fit between the tables to sit down. There is a table right up against the bathroom door and people have to "hover" over the table to wait for the bathroom. This table is like having the seat in the back of an airplane next to the toilet. Bad design. (This is at the SoHo location) 5 stars for food. It was delicious. 3 stars putting a table next to the bathroom.

Cute Aussie breakfast spot in NYC! The SoHo location we visited is small, with only 12-14 tables for two, so be aware if you're traveling with baggage. We arrived upon their opening time at 9am and there were 2 other parties also waiting to be seated. Upon entering the restaurant, we noticed it was very cold inside (it was 27 degrees F outside) and the servers were all wearing hats, scarves and coats. Midway through our meal, the restaurant became only slightly warmer, but still considerably chilly. I ordered the Shrimp Pasta as my entree, and my sister had the Egg breakfast with a side of grilled chicken. The spaghetti in the Shrimp Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the cream sauce was not too salty. The dish comes with five decent sized shrimp, spinach, grape tomatoes (cut in halves), topped with breadcrumbs and mixed in a cream sauce. The portion size was appropriate for the price point given the location and the size and number of shrimp in the dish. As for the Egg breakfast (not pictured), it comes with 3 eggs prepared to your liking, a spinach (uncooked) salad, and two pieces of toast. The breakfast dish looked pretty standard, so don't expect anything special if you order this. After finishing my pasta, I tasted a piece of the grilled chicken (breast meat cut into 4 small pieces). Considering it was 15-20 minutes into our meal, the side of grilled chicken tasted like it had come straight out of the refrigerator (because the inside the restaurant was so cold) and was very dry, making it difficult to eat. I'd probably recommend skipping the chicken, or at least eating it right away, so you don't have to worry about it getting cold or too dry (if the inside of the restaurant is as cold as it was today). Overall, I will definitely be returning here next time I'm visiting the Big Apple for more Shrimp Pasta (and to try their other pasta dishes)! Although this restaurant group is known as an Australian breakfast spot, the fact that they serve lunch dishes (pasta, burgers, bowls and salads) at 9am (and breakfast until 4pm) is very appealing to me because I love pasta enough to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Stop by if you get a chance - it's worth a visit! (Note that they only take reservations at their other locations in East Village, West Village and Murray Hill; you can only walk-in at their SoHo location).

Little Ruby's really impressed me. I went there craving a burger, but was blown away by their chicken sandwich. It was one of the better fried chicken sandwiches I've had in recent memory. I was also impressed by how nice their little "outdoor"/curbside dining area was. It was very cozy and nice. Service was good too! All around pretty happy with the experience. I'd definitely come back. If you do end up checking it out, you HAVE to get the fried chicken sandwich.

Been to this place for the last 5 years and this place is amazing! It never misses - though sometimes it does get quite busy. On a random weekend we were able to snag a seat and enjoyed and delicious meal. The creamy chicken pasta was so good and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The squash soup was a new special on. their menu and it was amazing! Creamy with a lil spice. The bronte burger with truffle fries is absolutely must get!!

Nice little cozy spot in Soho with a dope vibe. Only stopped in for a quick drink, but it was amazing.

Decent little cafe in SoHo- came for dinner to try the vodka pasta and thought it was fine. It's in a convenient location, so it gets busy quickly! Luckily we only had to wait 5 min or so for a table for 2. The tables inside are packed- but it's a fun vibe. Got the vodka pasta (good flavor if a tad salty and the pasta itself was a bit soft) and that watermelon drink (very refreshing), and my friend got the burger w sweet potato fries (both were fine). Overall I'm glad I tried it but wouldn't come out of my way to return.

A classic break for brunch that I've been to over the years. We were seated pretty quickly for a Sunday morning brunch. This time I ordered the Malibu Bowl and added chicken. The chicken was well seasoned and it went well with the brown rice, charred scallion salsa, and veggies. The poached egg was also perfectly runny! A great place for a quick brunch.

Love Ruby's! This spot is one of my go-to brunch spots because of how diverse their menu options are - from classic brunch items, to pastas, to burgers! There's a reason why it's always packed - also because they don't take reservations, especially during weekend brunch. Expect to wait up to 30 min for a table. I ordered the Egg Sandwich, which was delicious and savory. The piece of lettuce inside got quite soggy that it made the sandwich a bit hard to eat, but nonetheless still enjoyable. If you're dining with a small group, highly recommend getting their fries as it's an easy finger snack and the portion is huge! My friends got the Pancakes, which were nice and fluffy, and the Breakfast Bowl which was simple, but very filling! They have ample seating, yet always packed because of how popular this spot is! This includes outdoor dining and another seating section right next door, which is open concept as well during the nice weathers. Overall, highly recommend Ruby's for their good food and nice vibes.

Very cute cafe! Got the chicken avocado salad and tea. They have outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. It was really nice to sit outside and people watch as we got the corner table. No wait to get in at 12pm on a holiday weekday (Thursday). It got pretty packed after we got seated though! A bonus was that they let us stay for a while even though it was busy. I truly enjoyed the experience catching up with an old friend!

This is a great spot to catch up friends and hang with family. I tried the fried chicken burger which was nice and crispy and delicious The sweet potato fries were perfect with the aioli sauce. Service was nice and accommodating even when it was so busy. Will come back :)

I love this cafe! Just walking in I could tell all the workers vibe is amazing, everyone was so nice and have a great personality. This was the first cafe I've ever been to. My friend recommended and I finally went with someone. I got the bronte burger with sweet potato fries. I asked for medium well and got exactly what I asked for, the sweet potato fries was amazing with a touch of crunch, the portion was pretty big I ate half of my food and brought the other half home for dinner. It does get crowded so I'll suggest making a reservation. I had a fresh squeezed orange juice with my meal as well and it was a perfect touch to my meal.

I've been hearing about Rubys cafe and I was excited to check it out. It was a decent meal. I have nothing bad to say.. but nothing spectacular either. I was not a fan of my drink, def not your usual spicy marg. Pasta is always a nice comfort meal. I enjoyed their truffle fries the most.

Literally the cutest place ever with the kindest staff! The host was the sweetest! We bonded over both being from Maryland and was pleasantly surprised that she gave me and my friends the bestttt dessert we have had in a while. The drinks were perfect, the pasta was great. You can tell that everything on menu is probably amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed myself and the atmosphere, I'll be returning! Thanks for everything xo

okay, I get the hype . I will without a doubt be back. the food absolutely slapped but my coffee could've been never. nevertheless, I will be returning to slowly make my way through the menu because it was THAT good

I came to Ruby's on a date around 8:30pm on a Monday night, we sat inside and the ambiance was warm but the space was quite cramped. They didn't have the first two drinks I ordered, and their espresso machine was apparently turned off so I couldn't order coffee but there was also an espresso martini on the menu? Anyway. The pasta was phenomenal, the service was amazing and attentive, the actual slow cooked meat in the ragu was unreal and softer than any I've ever had. Almost like a ropa vieja. I would absolutely come back for lunch, but honestly not on a date. The accommodations were awkward, and they fumbled a lot of the menu. Also, no wine glasses?

Came here on a date and everything was solid. I've been to the other locations but I'm still surprised by how great all the locations are! I absolutely LOVED the brussel sprouts! I've been obsessed with the seasoning ever since I had them. The mix of savoriness from the parmesan and the acidity of the lemon were so delicious. My partner got the Bronte and really enjoyed it! My favorite dish is the ruby ragu! The pasta was cooked to al dente and the ragu sauce was tender and so savory! Service was fairly fast! It's a perfect date spot for those looking to get a quick bite to eat.

Food and service were great! We were there at 6:15 on a Wednesday night and it was already starting to get packed! Get there early or be prepared to wait.

The food is really good but i came with a group and they charged a 20% gratuity which they dont let you know up front. The hostess was also quite rude coming outside with the cash in her hand saying "This is not going to be enough money" accusing us of not paying our entire bill and then found out she was wrong because she miss counted the money, it was quite unprofessional. And to mention that our waitress forgot one of our food orders so we had to wait an extra 20 minutes.

There was no wait to get into Ruby's Cafe on a Sunday around 6:15pm, which is actually why we ended up here. Overall, I thought Ruby's was just fine and won't be rushing back, but is still a good option to have for some Australian/American food in the area. If I came again, I'd try the crispy rice bowl. Chicken avocado salad (6.5/10): This salad was fine, but just not well-executed considering I loved the combination of ingredients listed on the menu. The grilled chicken was fatty in parts, so I had to quietly split some small pieces into my napkin. There were also only three candied walnuts in it and the portion was on the small side. I didn't love the dressing either, but it was fine enough. Crispy Brussel sprouts (8.5/10): The Brussel sprouts were very good! They were a classic version of crispy Brussel sprouts, but still hit the spot. I'd recommend ordering them since overall portions at Ruby's tend to be small.

we stopped by this spot after shopping around lower east side and they were such a wonderful fresh entrees! their lemon cream pasta was so so yummy! our server was also so kind and after i told him we had to catch a flight, he was very accommodating to our needs. they have indoor and patio dinning which both have great ambiance!

Came in on a busy Saturday afternoon and got sat right away. Minus one star for 3 water cups being dirty with lipstick before we finally got a clean cup. Water was also warm and tasted like trash. Our food came out before our cocktails did, kinda annoying as we needed a drink since the water was nasty. Mid spot but my friend said it's usually way better, this was my first time.

I went shopping and was extremely hungry and wanted to grab a bit, across the street was ruby's cafe so I stopped by. The restaurant was crowed and others was standing around waiting for they name to be called, I asked how long the wait and because I was by myself, they sat me right away. I was seated in the outdoor shed area so I did not get to see the ambience of indoors. My waitress was polite and answered any questions I had about the menu so I ordered the chicken schnitzel and the spicy sausage rigatoni. The food was fresh and top tier, the chicken was crunchy and juicy at the same time. Overall it was a great experience and great food the only downside is that the seating was extremely tight.

Ruby's is definitely an NYC classic. A reliable place for brunch or dinner. I have been to Ruby's many times and the quality of food is always held to the highest standards. I usually order their "Crispy Rice Bowl" which has the perfect balance of carbs, protein, and fats! This bowl is very comparable to Sweet green's crispy rice bowl. Would recommend if you're on your fitness grind or just looking for something on the lighter side. I usually tend to order a side of truffle fries which are always a hit. Service is always great at Ruby's, the employees are super attentive and my favorite part of Ruby's is their interior design. A very picturesque instagrammable place -especially for brunch.

Minus 1 star because the waiter seated another group of 2 prior to us even though we arrived before them. Ruby's is a staple - always my comfort food whenever I'm near soho and want a bite. The wait for a table of two on a Thursday evening around 8 pm was around 20-30 minutes. I usually get the shrimp pasta which is grilled shrimp with spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, arugula, lemon, cream, crushed red pepper and breadcrumbs. Their truffle fries is always good and goes with anything - pasta, burger, salad and etc!

Amazing spot for dinner! We got a side of fries and the spicy vodka pasta but substituted the noodles for rigatoni which was absolutely perfect. Perfectly al dente and little kick of spice made the pasta that much better. Not only was the food delicious but the service was impeccable. We were heavily attended to and our server was so sweet and even got us complimentary drinks! We sat out on the patio which totally added to the mood of the evening. Overall the soho location on mulberry street was great and we will definitely be back!

I took myself to brunch as Ruby's cafe has been on my list of places to try. I was actually not to impressed by what I got. I had got the egg sandwich and it just had no taste to it. I got proscutto on it and that is what gave the sandwich some flavor. I also got a lavender latte which I will admit was Very tasty and the presentation of it was very nice. I also got a mimosa which was ok. But it was served in a regular glass which I had never seen before. Usually mimosas are served in flutes. This location was alot smaller than I thought. They have an outdoor seating hut area too. I had to wait on a small wait list but I got there at a good time as I was sitting there I saw how the line grew. My waiter was ok. The one thing besides my not so good sandwich that kinda push me away from visiting this spot again is I was sitting by the window/ seemed like a garage door like windows. And out of no where they opened it and didn't ask if we were ok with that. It was a sunny day but a bit chilly. So that kind of threw me off.

Ruby's is one of my favorite reliable restaurants in the city. The food is always good! I prefer the outdoor seating to indoor because it's pretty cramped and loud inside, whereas outside is much more relaxing. I find it annoying that even if you have a reservation they won't seat you until your entire party has arrived.

Service was top-notch. I really appreciated the recommendations that my waiter shared. I was craving something hearty and ended up getting the Bolognese pasta, the best part is is that I was able to make a gluten-free! The music was such a vibe, I couldn't help but to dance in my seat. The chocolate cake was really good too. Wish I saved more room for it though!

Been here twice. Go here for the ~vibes. The food is alright too, albeit kind of expensive for what you're getting (alas, brunch in NYC is often so). We scored a walk-in for two on Sunday around 11:30 after a really short wait. I would take the greeter's wait time estimate with a grain of salt, as we were told 15-20 min and got in after 5. Previously I went for a weekday lunch and had no wait. The breakfast bowl is more like a deconstructed avo toast than a bowl. It was fine... I think for $17 a little too pricey, especially given how little prep is actually needed for this. The banana bread is good with the passionfruit butter, and boring by itself. The yogurt bowl looks aesthetic but again pricey. The matcha latte is pretty good. The server didn't know what matcha powder they use but it's ceremonial grade. In the past I've also ordered the fried chicken burger which I liked. Ambience here is lively and cozy. Expect a small table in close quarters. It's not overly noisy because not many people can fit inside. Service is good; our waitress was really sweet and attentive. We didn't feel rushed at all while we were here either. All in all, come here for brunch if you're looking for a casual atmosphere and some decent (but again overpriced) food and don't mind a wait.

The most amazing Ricotta Pancakes in New York and the atmosphere is so nice. Service was also amazing, usually I would recommend making a reservation before coming in as they tend to get full quickly on any given day.

Love rubys cafe can't wait for summer time the food and drinks are so amazing i love it everytime

I've been eating at Ruby's for years and it's never disappointed. Brunch is always great but I usually come here for burgers. The classic cheeseburger and the bronte burger are tough to not order every single time. I took a chance on the Bondi burger, recently, with crispy chicken and spicy chili sauce and it completely blew my socks off. There's always a wait or just order for pickup or delivery. I honestly eat here too much!

Again, another amazing gift from Australia! The vibes are unmatched, the food is amazing, and service is super friendly :)

Ruby's doesn't take reservations but at 11:45 am on a Saturday the wait for 3 was only 35 minutes, and you're able to walk around soho while waiting for a text that your table was ready. We all thought that the watermelon drink (brunch cocktail) was a bit too sweet. All of the mains we ordered were huge portions, and delicious! The star was the truffle fries we ordered to split- they had the best crispiness. We were glad we tried it as we had never been and it seems like the hype over it hasn't died down!

We arrived at 10:30 on a Saturday so the wait was only 15 mins (vs over 1 hr wait at noon last summer). Imo Ruby's is a bit overhyped but a safe spot for some good Australian brunch food. ＊ Sweet Corn Fritters My all-time brunch staple. I asked to substitute my bacon to salmon. Ruby's sweet corn fritters are right up my alley: the cakes were light and fluffy, slightly crispy on the outside, filling with fresh corn kernels. 3 pieces of big fritters were ideal to share with your friends. ＊ Ruby's Ragu Very average. It had a great amount of braised beef. Their other pastas look more attractive, so I will try their other options next time! ＊ Fries w/ Truffle Aioli After reading tons of good reviews I expected their truffle fries to be an ultimate indulgence but it was meh. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, but I could barely taste any truffle aioli. All I could taste was only mayo. ＊ Ricotta Hotcakes It came with 3 thick hotcakes, garnished with banana slices, with maple syrup and nutella on the side. We were all impressed by the honeycomb butter. ＊ Rose Latte, Cappuccino Don't order Rose Latte. It tasted artificial and weird. Our server was pleased to change my friend's drink to a coffee. Their servers were super busy but friendly.

Ruby's in Soho is famous for its mouthwatering Beyond Burger, which many claim is one of the best plant-based burgers around. The patty is cooked to perfection, packed with flavor, and paired with fresh toppings that elevate the entire experience. To top it off, their truffle fries are a standout side--crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned with truffle oil for that rich, indulgent taste. It's a must-visit spot if you're in Soho and craving a top-tier burger experience, whether you're vegan or not.

Overall the food at Ruby's is great! The vibe of the restaurant makes it better. We ordered the shrimp pasta, Rubys ragu, and French fries w/ truffle aioli. Shrimp pasta - 4.5/5 This was my favorite, the shrimp was flavorful and the pepper flakes give it a kick of spicy that is necessary. Rubys Ragu - 3.5/5 The pappardelle wasn't amazing but the slow braised beef short rib was SOO TENDER. French fries w/ truffle aioli - 4/5 Lots of fries and lots of sauce. Fries were crunchy! There was a 45 minute wait, we came at around 2PM on a Sunday.

My friend & I were in the area and decided to stop by for dinner. We started off with the French fries and truffle aioli. The fries were literally perfect & the aioli was to die for! My friend got the strawberry basil lemonade, that was really delicious as well. For my entree I decided to go with the Brontë burger on gluten free bread, my friend got the Creamy Chicken Pasta. I really enjoyed my burger the sweet chili sauce was really good, I decided to do no cheese and spinach. I thought I was going to get a bun but the gluten free bread was very good! Overall I would definitely return, the service was good the hostess and waitress were very attentive. I would love to try their brunch. The place itself is pretty small which can be a little uncomfortable but I guess it's in the name lol. Solid place for a casual yummy dinner.

Reservation? We didn't have one but we walked in on a weekday at 6:30 and were able to get seated within 5 minutes. It was crowded though so def recommended having alternative plans in case you come around 7pm and onwards! Ambiance/service: great! This is def a place to come with your girlfriends. The vibes are great Food: we all liked our food! I am knocking off 1 star because my spicy pasta was not spicy at all but it was still pretty good. And they also have red chills flakes in case you want to ask!

I wanted to grab some brunch with my friend, so we went to Ruby's. We came around 1 in the afternoon, but were told that there was about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't a problem. It seems like there are 2 different indoor seating sections, as well as outdoor seating. I enjoyed the interior vibe and the music that was playing. For food, we ordered the avocado toast, the breakfast sandwich, fries with truffle aioli, the sautéed greens, the green machine smoothie, and the strawberry and basil lemonade. All of these were amazing, and I enjoyed them a lot. I definitely would skip on the greens and fries next time though, as they were pricy for what it was, but they still tasted good nonetheless. I loved the presentation of the avocado toast. I don't even know what it is that they out in the green machine that made it so good, but I highly recommend that smoothie. If I were to come back I'd wanna try one of their bowls. The total can rack up fast here, but I'd say it's pretty worth it

Here for lunch with a friend! Classic American diner grub. Recommend putting your name on a list and then browsing SoHo for a bit-- our wait for a party of two (on a weekend afternoon) was over an hour.....! Our food took around 15 mins. Service was pretty fast, considering how busy it was. FRIED CHICKEN BURGER: Thiccccc ass piece of chicken with toasted buns, mayo, slaw, and pickles. Their chicken is tender & juicy, delicately fried. Extremely filling. TRUFFLE FRIES: Very heavy on the truffle flavor if you're into that. Crispy & fluffy. The portions are generous, I could really only eat half. HOUSE LEMONADE: It's fresh~ Not too sweet or sour. Pungent basil flavor. We were seated outside, under their dining structure. While I'm usually wary of these streetside seats, this was actually quite pleasant-- completely sheltered from the elements, cool, and calm. Cars and traffic were impressively inaudible; the only sounds being neighboring patrons and soft pop music playing from a lone speaker.

I loved the cozy ambiance and chalk drawings on the wall, especially the drawings in the bathroom. Bronte burger was a little messy to eat, but it tasted good regardless. Shrimp pasta was my favorite since it was so creamy and you can actually taste the shrimp flavor. Would come again!

I ordered the shrimp pasta and wasn't disappointed, however I feel like it needed something else. I would come back again and try the chicken sandwich.

My friend and I were eager to try this place for a late Sunday brunch. Wait time wasn't that bad, about 20 minutes for a seating for two. Ideally if you're out in the cold to wait a heat lamp would be great to have. A lot of other people kept complaining about cold. Finally seated in the lower back area. Nice table and setting looked great. We sat down ordered our food and waited for it to come out. It was hard to track down our waiter who disappeared for quite a long time. When the food arrived - wrap, eggs w/sourdough toast and ricotta hotcakes. The waiter could not be found to provide salt and prepper or Tabasco sauce. Also my friend had ordered another drink and it had been well over 20 mins and it had yet to arrive. Food was great until we noticed a hair on the plate- not mine or my friends. The waiter was finally found and informed and the manager came over and offered a cold apology. Definitely didn't feel sincere . The plate of hotcakes with the hair was removed. She comp'd that order. Overall the vibe and food was decent up until the hair issue and the manager not being more sympathetic. Even as we walked out no extra apology or thank you was offered by the same manager.

I took my mom to Thai place for her birthday lunch and we had a nice brunch! Everything we ordered tasted fantastic and we loved all! I especially loved their pancake, it was so fluffy and thick and good!!! And it comes with Nutella which is my favorite too! They also have delicious sandwich and pasta. If you haven't tried this place, try!

Foods always bomb here! The Brontë burger is my favorite and the fries are crispy, with very good dipping sauce. The shrimp pasta had a lot of flavor in the sauce, and tasted delicious! Got "that watermelon drink" and it was refreshing. Servers were very nice and sweet.

My boyfriend has been here a few times for lunch and kept on telling me he needed to bring me here and I finally understood why! It's very cute and perfect for an afternoon lunch. Their mason jars are adorable and drinks and food are delicious. I had the Ruby's spritz which I'm assuming is their take on an aperol spritz and it was tasty! I definitely want to return to try the watermelon cocktail. For food, the spicy Italian sausage pasta is a must!! Very flavorful and perfect portions. Highly recommend! Also, they don't take reservations but we did a walk in on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately.
