Ruben's is amazing definitely worth the drive from Alabama. We all ordered steaks which we agreed were cooked to perfection, flavorful, juicy and tender. I was impressed with the waiter's knowledge. When one member of our party requested their steak be cooked rare the waiter immediately asked if the steak should have a cold or warm center. This is not a question often asked by waiters at most steakhouses but details matter. One person in our party also ordered fried catfish as did a couple sitting at a neighboring table. They all said the fish was wonderful. The fried shrimp on other customer's plate caught my attention I will have to try them next time. The service was great, in addition to our waiter, two other people stopped by our table to check on us to make sure that we were enjoying our meals. Ruben's offers a salad bar and a good list of side dishes. We arrived shortly after they opened and about a third of the tables were already filled. When we left about an hour or so later all of the tables were full with customers. Many of the tables have good views of the Tombigbee river and boats going back and forth. The fact that this fish camp and steakhouse has been open for almost 70 years is a testament to the quality of their food and service which time has not changed. Some of the people sitting around us remember eating at this restaurant when they were children. Great, first time visit, I'm a fan!

Oh my! This place was not exaggerated. The customer service was superb! We ordered cat fish and fried shrimp. It was cooked to perfection and best of all, fresh. My husband orderd catfish and fried oyseters. He was in seafood heaven! Our son ordered the cheeseburger and fries. The burger was chargrilled! We see why this restaurant was rated the best for 2021 in the Mississippi and West Alabama Triangle!! We you are in the area stop by and eat this scrumptious authentic food of the region!!!!

First time visit on a Wednesday evening. They were short staffed and had several personal Christmas parties going on but the waiters and waitresses were on top of everything. I ordered the 16 oz large steak and had to bring half of it home with me. It was really good. Overall great 1st time experience.
