We used to LOVE their GF chicken fingers and fries as a family that rarely gets food like that. They took the GF chicken fingers off the menu.

GF buns still available.

Fries are GF in a fryer that is ONLY used for the GF fries.

They no longer have a gluten free menu and can't guarantee gluten free items.

No more gluten fried chicken fingers. Salad, burger with bun are your options. Very slow moving, no sense of urgency. Not friendly either. One waitress said they do have chicken, another one said no.

Yes, Ruby's has a dedicated fryer for fries and chicken fingers and it has GF hamburger buns, but none of this is listed on the menu so you have to ask. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic place to eat! It’s a cute diner with an upstairs patio that overlooks the ocean. They have a gluten free bun and the fries are gluten free also! I got the BLT with a gf bun and fries. It was so delicious. I would definitely go here again!

They have gluten-free chicken tenders (fried in dedicated fryer when I was there but double check!) Also have GF buns and safe fries. Really yummy. Outdoor seating on their rooftop.

They now offer gluten free fried chicken strips in a dedicated fryer. Fries are also in a dedicated fryer. We went twice in two days!

They had gluten free buns, some fruits and eggs, but besides that there were not many naturally gluten free options on the menu.

Yes they have a gluten free bun but staff doesn't know anything about what GF means. Ordering was very difficult and had to send food back twice. GF fail.

They have gluten free buns and great food. The fries are NOT gluten free as all the staff are quick to advise. The cole slaw was great so I had a good time

Table tents prominently call attention to the availability of Udi's GF buns. The menu has a bit more detail, the servers just stick to the script. Food is what I went to Ruby's expecting - awesome burgers, fries & malts! Parking was a challenge - the lot was full to overflowing - yet our party of 4 was seated right away. Service was prompt; the kitchen a little slower. Lots of young families & boisterous kids.

Small gluten free menu, but good staples on the menu. No GF buns offered here. Staff knows about GF MENU but not to hip if u ask additional information. They do have a fryer for GF fries which is yummy.

This was the only place we found in the whole airport that had GF hamburger buns. The staff were knowledgeable and volunteered that the same oil was used to fry chicken tenders and fries before we even asked.

Im being generous with my star rating because there are not a lot of options for us, meal-wise, at the airport. Ruby’s (though not marked on menu) has gluten free hamburger buns so you can get a burger or sandwich, or substitute for toast with your breakfast. They also offered to give me fruit instead of toast with my eggs which I appreciated.

Though my server answered all of my questions and suggested options as the fries are not made in a separate fryer, I got sick immediately after eating here from cross contamination.
