Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen - Bowie

Order the office 's lunch online earlier this week for pickup. Easy parking. He greeted me quickly and told me where I could go to pick up my order. Candy allowed me to watch her bag everything up so my office wouldn 't be mad at me for missing anything. The atmosphere is very inviting. I was about to enjoy the shrimp pasta but ordered Mac and cheese and the holy trinity also. Mac and cheese was heavenly. Greens deliciously taste like home. I enjoyed the bread options, too. Had the cornbread and a honey biscuit. The total was a little over $200. That was 3 shrimp pasta, 2 chicken wing meals, salmon, and 4 drinks. Looking forward to trying other options on the menu from 'cousin '.

I was looking forward to the new location. I was very disappointed that it was basically a cafeteria with seats no service, beyond the cashier.The food was good except the mashed potatoes which were definitely powdered, instead of fresh.Beautiful artwork on the walls. On this particular day, it was in the 90s, outside it felt like the 80s, inside

The food is always good.The noise level is a little louder than I expected in the new location. Maybe add something to absorb the noise and figure out how to call people up for the food without yelling their name while others are dining in. I wanted to dine in but knew I wouldn't enjoy the experience with the noise. So looking forward to my next visit.

Blackened Catfish was way too salty. Texture was good but it was literally too salty to eat. Didn’t need the gravy or whatever it was drowning in. Mac and Cheese was a little too loose for my taste but good flavor. Peach Cobbler, cabbage and greens were on point.Food: 2/5

Very nice location for this new restaurant. It's new and there was not an empty seat in the place and already the patrons overwhelming this establishment. On Sunday afternoon when I went to pick up dinner there was a 45 minute to-go order wait time?. It's Sunday, did you forget people would be coming for dinner? Seems to me like they weren't prepared for the successful turnout hence wind up unprepared to serve in a timely manner.There are tables for eating but it's not restaurant style; so no servers. You order to go and you can eat at the provided tables. On this particular day, all the tables were full but from people waiting for food rather than eating.When I finally did get my food it was good. It wasn't disappointing except for my herb chicken which was not fully cooked. The portion sizes were good. The cost was reasonable. The service was good. Most of the people serving had hair/beard nets but some did not . A hair net should always be worn; not sure why that's an option. There seem to be plenty of staff around so I'm not really sure why the delay in service. The staff seemed to be busily moving about and was pleasant in assisting customers.I will definitely go back for the food but be prepared to patiently wait. Thanks for coming to our neighborhood.
