Great food and even greater customer service, The ham and cheese sliders coupled with broccoli salad and Mac and cheese for my daughter was wonderful! However the crown jewel was dessert. The raspberry cake was luscious but the butterscotch pie won the dessert contest hands down! I even took home 2 pieces of pie to go! Definitely check this place out! Pam has done a fantastic job of bringing a very nice eatery to downtown Anderson!!!

Ruby's is the best lunch and dessert in town! They have the best chicken velvet soup, and you really can't go wrong with any dessert! Get the trio so you can try 3 at one time!

I'm from Japan????????. There are 40 high school girls, and they took care of me in a group. Not only the meals, but also a lot of miscellaneous goods, it was wonderful！

Stopped in here for a latte and chicken salad sandwich. Very cozy and decorated cutely. My latte was a creamy little cup of heaven. Great place for coffee, tea and a pastry or lunch. Nice surprise to find this in Anderson!
