Hickory Burger
One of the chain’s featured favourites: two slices of melted Cheddar, thick-cut bacon, lettuce, tomato, Ruby’s Burger Sauce and crispy onion rings, finished with tangy barbecue sauce. Smoky, sweet and crunchy at once. It is a big burger; the fries come with it anyway.

About Ruby's Diner
On 7 December 1982 Doug Cavanaugh and Ralph Kosmides opened a diner in a converted bait shop at the very end of the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach. The two of them worked the grill and the till, and took $63 on the first day. They named it after Cavanaugh’s mother, Ruby; her likeness is in the logo, and a copy of her high-school graduation photo hangs next to the register in every branch.
About a dozen diners, mostly in Southern California, plus Reno, Henderson and the Las Vegas airport.
