Ruth's Cafe - Indianapolis

Really wasn’t a fan of the atmosphere. New owner has changed some things and is much more pleasant.

I’ve been coming to Ruth’s at least monthly since 2014. (Spent a few years living in Florida in between) The service and staff have always been awesome. The items I’ve always ordered are the strawberry cheesecake pancake (amazing) and the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits and gravy have consistently been the best I’ve ever had and I order them quite often and even make my own at home and nobody beats Ruth’s. That is until recently….I think the gravy recipe changed and maybe the sausage? They’re not even close to what they used to be and it’s a shame. Will have to order a different item or seek biscuits and gravy elsewhere I suppose! Sure hope they change it back some day. Edit: I’ve updated to four stars based on the owner reply and the years of excellent biscuits and gravy I had! I did not inform the staff because I don’t like complaining about food to wait staff and definitely don’t want to be credited for something I ordered and ate most of. The recipe might not have changed but I think the owner is right in saying it is a consistency issue perhaps. I’ll be back to Ruth’s for other items.

Everything was delicious and it was excellent service

Menu looked good with some very interesting and unique items, and I agree some of them are priced accordingly as they have a different level of attention paid to them… however, counter to the response of other reviews I don’t agree that some of the pricing is in line with other full service successful restaurants. $19 for avocado toast with 2 eggs is egregious. I’d imagine the lease at this location is extremely pricey given the neighborhood and the prices of food must reflect that accordingly as well, though it was not horribly busy. The server was very nice and accommodating while we were there, checking on us and was just the perfect level of engaging. We left and went elsewhere to a different area. I got the same meal avocado toast, fresh fruit, and two eggs, for about 33% less.

Ruth's Cafe for the win! I had a great father's day brunch with my father and my son's. I ordered the scrambler of the day and it was very good. Ingredients are in the picture.
