Fast and familiar
THE PLACE
Ruby’s Sandwich Saloon
THE JUDGE
Young Chang, Daily Pilot features reporter
THE MEAL
Turkey, mozzarella, lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts and pickles on
wheat/squaw bread
SPEED
Two, three minutes? You walk in, grab a little notepad where you
can check off what you want in your sandwich, hand the note to
someone behind the counter and then pay. In the time it takes to do
all this, the sandwich gets made. I went at 12:30 p.m., when a lot of
other people decided to go too.
SERVICE
No-nonsense yet friendly and quick.
THE VERDICT
Everything about this saloon-reminiscent eatery is fresh and
familiar. You never have to wonder about the food as what you see is
what you get. No fancy sauces, weird meats or weird breads. It’s the
perfect place for those who want to go home for lunch but can’t. A
full sandwich is $4.75 and half is $2.90.
