Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen - Bowie

I ordered chicken wings and baked salmon. My order should be finished at 5:08 and it was not ready until 5:38. After waiting 10 minutes after the expected time, I went to check my order. The reason it took a long time was because someone forgot to put the salmon in the oven in time. One of the girls in the register found that funny and laughed. I went back to my car and waited 20 minutes until I got a text that my order was ready. I have a half-hearted apology, got my food and went home. The salmon was Blande, the chicken wings seem to have been sitting in the container all the time while the salmon were cooked as they were almost room temp and not crispy. One of the chicken wings was old and edible. The crowned greens and sweet tea were the only items we got that were pleasant. I don't think I'm back. I don't think it's important to someone how late my order was. And nobody bothered the wings so they were fresh with the salmon. This is one of the few soul food points around me and it's too bad that I can't trust quality anymore.

It had been a while since visiting Ruby 's. Happy to say the taste of the food has improved. The biscuits are everything. I ordered blackened salmon with greens and black-eyed peas. My son 's order was the fried wings with greens and mac and cheese. A side of mac cheese and fried corn. So the salmon was delicious, the greens were too salty for me but my son liked the taste of them. The black-eyed peas tasted heavy and bland. Needed more seasoning. The rest of the sides ordered were delicious. The desserts (banana pudding red velvet cake) was so on point. I would recommend and go back to Ruby 's just ordering a couple of different sides. The staff was awesome, polite and courteous. Ruby 's I 'll be back.

The food was just meh for us... definitely not worth the price we paid. The website says dine in is an option, it's not. If we had known that, we would have called our order in. The regulars knew this so although there were beef ribs on the line, they were reserved for the call in orders. The fried whiting was thin, the mac and cheese was made with processed cheese and my biscuit was overcooked. I don't eat pork but my daughter wasn't impressed with the greens. The fried wings were good. Others obviously like it but I won't be returning.

I suggest you call, and place your order. They only offer take out. If you do order there, the wait is about 20 minutes. I really enjoyed the Creole Shrimp, Grits. Never had it like that before. It was different, but it was good. The Bayou Shimp Pasta is also a good choice.

Customer service and food is amazing. The pork chops are huge and well seasoned. The greens and cabbage were also on point. Deliciously good experience.
