Floridians who remember the heyday of Ruby Tuesday might recall when the restaurant chain had a strong presence throughout the state. Once a go-to spot for comfort food and its famous salad bar, Ruby Tuesday locations have dwindled over the years. Today, only around 32 locations remain across Florida, making it a bit of a challenge for fans to get their fix. Unfortunately, the Ruby Tuesday in Inverness, located at 2235 E Gulf To Lake Highway, recently faced a temporary closure following a state inspection, marking the second such shutdown in just over a year.
A Legacy of Comfort Food and Salad Bars
Ruby Tuesday, founded in 1972 near the University of Tennessee, has long been known for its blend of hearty comfort foods like ribs and burgers, alongside healthier options, most notably its expansive 55-ingredient salad bar. The Inverness location, which has garnered over 2,200 reviews on Google with an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars, is popular among locals for its friendly service and satisfying meals.
