Burger Review: Ruby Tuesday
Yesterday I passed by Ruby Tuesday to try their burger after some friends had recommended I try it. First off I have to say that I don’t like Ruby Tuesday. I’ve maybe had a good experience there only once and I hadn’t been to the place for maybe a year or more. The place hasn’t changed much since then, the menu has been updated and it seems they make better burgers now.
When I got the menu I knew what I was going to order, the Triple Prime Cheddar Burger which consists of a “blend” of certified Angus beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and garlic mayonnaise sauce. It comes with fries usually but I told them to swap it for baked potato which they had no problem with.
Since I was there early the place was empty so my burger arrived quickly. At first glance the burger looked pretty good but I quickly found out that the bread was a problem but I will get to that in just a second. The beef patty itself was tasty although I originally found the “blend” word a bit iffy. Its like the fast food place Great Steak and Potato Company who have a large sign that proudly says their burgers are 98% pure beef. Its like o…k.. and whats the other 2% exactly? So that aside lets move on to the biggest problem in this burger, the bun. It looked more like a croissant than a bun which is ok but it was falling apart in my hands and I also found it too thin. That combination resulted in a very messy burger to eat, not good!
Overall though it was a good burger, I wouldn’t mind going back to Ruby Tuesday just for the Triple Prime. The patty had good flavor and the garlic mayonnaise went well with it but their bun left a lot to be desired. Thats why the final score is a 3 out of 5. You have the bun and you have the patty, its simple yet many places can’t seem to get it right.
Ruby Tuesday is located on th Gulf Road, Salmiya and Abu Halifa.
The cost of the Triple Prime Cheddar Burger was KD2.950

” I was talking to a friend of mine two weeks ago and he pointed out to me an article in TimeOut Dubai magazine on the best burgers in Dubai. Their winner? Johnny Rockets. I thought that was very sad since although Johnny Rockets burgers are great they’re no where near being the best burgers in Kuwait. Thats why I decided to start my own “The Best Burger in Kuwait” competition. I will hopefully be having at least two burgers a week from places you might or might not have heard of and once I decide I have enough burger reviews (maybe after 15 reviews?) I will crown a champion.”
Thats enough Mark, I think you should crown the champion now before something wrong happens with your cholesterol level! ;p

I think you underrated this burger mike, true it’s messy, though I don’t think the bread should have as much influence on your rating as the actual taste of the burger. I’d give this burger a 3.5 at least.
Good review.

Sorry, I meant to say MARK, and not MIKE XD!

if you don’t think the bun is an important element in the burger may i suggest you try steak? ;)

Did you try Gaucho Grill’s Gaucho burger? Give it a try I don’t think you’d regret it.
15. Mohammed | July 14th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I think the Guacho grill burger with the steak sauce which is pink-ish in colour is probably the best Burger in Kuwait. Its just the burger you’d imagine having after a long 7hours flight, enjoying it in your 5 star hotel with a tall glass of Chocolate milkshake.
I mood or environment is much better at night, the atmosphere is well suited for dinner rather than lunch which is nearly empty.

@mark. I do think it is important, just not as important as the actual beef patty. And I think it should be graded in your review, however the influence it has on your grading shouldn’t be that strong IMO.
I just really like the triple prime burger which is why I feel the need to defend it lol.
