Definition of the Law of Diminishing Return. This chain restaurant has a lot to boast, but not a lot to bring to the plate.
I ordered the Triple Prime Bacon Cheddar Burger – 1/2lb Burger with New York aged Cheddar and Applewood smoked bacon with a side of “endless fries.” The Prime series of burgers is made with 100% USDA Prime Beef where the standard burger is made with 100% USDA Choice Beef. For those of you that don’t know the difference between Prime and Choice, please refer to the equation below:
Prime Burger – Choice Burger = $2
Outside of the missing singles, there isn’t much the Prime burger had to offer over the choice.
Ruby Tuesday is bold enough to label their Prime burger as the world’s best burger, and they set the hook with the endless fries gimmick. I almost believed their world’s best burger claim, until i got to the third or fourth bite. From then out, each bite became less and less satisfying. A burger that started at a strong Green marker fizzled down to the Yellow in eight short ounces. But not all was lost, or so I thought. The fries were pretty tasty and knowing that I could eat as many as I want, I went through the first basket pretty quick. I waited for more fries as I continued through the burger…then I finished the burger. As the waitress came to clear the plate, I had to ask for more.
Ruby Tuesday is worth a visit for a workday lunch, but don’t go to too much trouble to get here. I may come again, but I would make the extra effort to find a different place if I had the resources.
