History
Established in 1982.
Ruby’s Diner captures all of the good feelings of America’s past and present. Ruby’s recreates the food, the feel, and the service of the All-American Diner.
Ruby’s Diner first opened on December 7, 1982 at the end of the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, California. On that day our founders, Doug Cavanaugh and Ralph Kosmides, worked the grill and cashier station and pulled in a whopping $ 63. Since then, things have grown and Ruby’s Diner now has 36 family-friendly locations in Southern California, New Jersey, Nevada, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.
By the way, there is a real Ruby! Ruby is Doug’s mother and the Ruby girl cheesecake character was derived from a photograph taken of Ruby while cheerleading for Fremont High School in Los Angeles.
