Ruby Tuesday's getting Atkins friendly!

[Golden Girl]

Yesterday, I ate lunch at Ruby Tuesday and after hearing my order (burger, no bun, veggies instead of fries), the server asked if I was on Atkins and I said yes. She told me that Ruby's is going to be offering 24 new menu items, starting in mid-November, and they are low-carb!! She said they are the first major chain to do that. How exciting!! Maybe some others will soon follow.

I'm new to board. I live in the Atlanta area - not sure if new menu items will be available all over or not. Can't wait to try them.

Went to Ruby Tuesdays this past saturday night to find out whats up. Apparenty the brand new menu rolls out this Tuesday (at least at that one) and includes somewhere around 10 or more lo-carb dinners.

I myself had the lo-carb Cajun Chicken while I was there. Portions were smaller, but still big enough to be satisfying, came with creamed cauliflower that could sorta be faked into thinking was mashed potato-ish, and a huge stem of broccoli. The piece of chicken appeared to have been cooked via steaming or something. Apparently they haven't quite gotten the idea that lo-carb means you don't have to do low fat, but, I'll have to go back when I see the whole new menu.

Whoops, double post.

Me too

I went to Ruby's here in VA and ordered a low carb dinner. The waiter also asked if I was on low-carb and then he sent the manager out to talk to us - he was on atkins too! He suggested how much salad to use from the salad bar, and which dressings were best (ranch, the ceasar has some carbs). Very cool!
