Ruby's Bar & Brasserie in Carmarthenshire

Not a helpfull boss when you ask why the food cold and drinks got are like piss the toilets are not clean there's better pubs in Llanelli than rubbish rubbies

Good entertainment on a Saturday afternoon/evening. Singers on after Rugby and awesome dj in the evening well worth a visit

We have visited Ruby's for Sunday lunch on many occasions and have previously had excellent food and service. BUT on a visit on 30 July 2023, service and food preparation had dropped off the edge of a cliff. WHY??? The answer is because the business puts their new takeaway Sunday lunch service ahead of the restaurant service. First, they ran short of meat, then they had no mash potato prepared. Then all gravy ran out. 15 minutes later more arrived. My advice to the management: "Get your act together or you will lose customers (like you have lost my friends and I"

Never go there as the boss a nastie person who not help full when you make a complaint beer's was like piss and the toilets need a good clean

We chose as everywhere else was booked. It was very popular with regulars, had a table straight away bar man was pleasant food was actually nice, they did mess our order but it was rectified. Would go again

Ab crap booked for 1pm they d run out of food eventually had cold vedge rock hard parsnips no roasties . No compensation when I complained and no manager!

great meal and friendly atmosphere no frills just good food good choice of beers and wines plenty of regulars which is a good indication of value

Stopped for lunch on off chance, fitted us in no problem, service lovely. Food basic but tasty and good value

Forget visiting this place if you're not a local, the rude Bar Staff completely ignored us. The morbidly obese lady who couldn't get up on her own choose to serve people fresh at the bar even after seeing we were waiting for a while. Not a great welcome and certainly no good for Llanelli's tourist trade.

We drink here all the time. Staropramen is best pint anywhere in Llanelli. Staff brilliant. Great pub.

So booked for a family 12pm on a Sunday , arrived on time. Cook came over are you ready this was within 2 minutes of being there , I thought it was a bit rushed but thought we will just go up and get out Carvery, so sat down had food and we were finished about 12.45 thinking oh Shall we have dessert, the woman came over oh you will have to leave on 5 minutes as this table is booked for 1pm then 2pm ect, I was shocked i couldn’t even have a dessert even if I wanted to, the whole meal was so rushed I didn’t enjoy it one bit, even 2 elderly ladies said the same thing when quing at the bar she said they just told us we had to leave, if I new this I wouldn’t have book it, people like to have drinks before and after their meal and a chat. Paying for it was another issue, it took about 20 minutes waiting by the bar , it was so chaotic thetr because everyone was being RUSHED it’s was shambolic !! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone and definitely wouldn’t return !! Wasn’t of money and time !! First and last time there 100%

My wife and I have just had lunch here.The food was well presented,plentiful and good value for money.The pub itself - a typical local pub- was busy although the restaurant was quiet.This is the first time we have dined here but wont be the last.The staff were very friendly and the food was served very quickly.

We were in the area so popped in for a Thursday evening bite to eat. We were so impressed with the lovely service, and friendly atmosphere. The food was fantastic, huge portions and absolutely delicious. You could really tell everything was home cooked and a variety of great options on the menu. I don’t usually leave reviews but this was such a good find as everywhere seems to be overpriced and microwaved pub grub at the moment and this was just the complete opposite so I just had to!!

Thursday carvery was the best I've ever had. Everything cookedto perfection with lovely friendly staff too.

Went for an early family gathering Christmas Lunch - what a great experience!! First of all the carvery was amazing - with the meats and roast potatoes cooked to perfection. What truly made the visit was the staff. They were all super friendly and helpful and all worked together so well. If I had a gripe - the loo's could use an update but this was a minor thing compared to the overall atmosphere created by this wonderful team. I am sad I live 200 miles away or this would be a regular haunt for me. If you own a restaurant and want to see how your staff can win you business, visit Ruby's and see how it is done - Bravo and thank you for making our family get together so special.

Nice large pub to call in to , after a day walking the dog or after shopping in town . Live sports on the TV in the bar area. Dog allowed in the bar area or restaurant area depending how busy it is in the restaurant. Made to feel welcome with our two small dogs.

Im always a little unsure when it comes to Sunday Lunch deliveries as it can be a bit of a gamble as to what youll get and what state it will be in when it arrives. Anyway to save the Mrs some effort in the kitchen I ordered in two beef dinners. Well, it arrived dead on time and we did an unboxing video and photo. The result is we were very happy with our lunches, very tasty and well presented in a foil container, not squashed into a polystyrene box as some have done. I would order again. Two Sunday Lunches £20.40

The first thing I saw when I walked in was a lack of social distancing, the tables were not spaced out and everyone in the bar was just everywhere. All staff were very welcoming and kind, the food was okay but the chips tasted like they were cooked in old fat.

We've been here for Sunday carvery twice in the last month, food is good , service today was bad but last time was good. Nothing flashy about this place and it has reasonable prices

If you want carvery wed/thurs lunch time can usually just walk in. Booking is a must for Sunday though have often phoned in morning and managed to get a table. Nicest carvery in llanelli all fresh veg and fab selection and great price.

Ordered the 2 steak deal for an evening meal. The service was excellent and the food could not be faulted.Nice little extra of sauteed onions which were delicious.

Had a rump steak with jacket potato and peas. The meal was very good - hot, good portion and decent priced. Service was excellent. Only negative I could think of, is that it was very quiet- only a handful of people there. We went midweek though early evening maybe that was why.I would definitely go back again and recommend it to people.

Lovely carvery for amazing value with great staff. Cant praise the place enough. The chef has always been excellent even in previous venues he has worked and his quality has always improved even though its faultless in the past

We were famished and popped in for lunch. The service was great and friendly, the food tasty, the lasagne was super and the prices were really reasonable.

Only moved into the area 4 weeks ago. Went to Ruby's on the 26th for Sunday carvery. Great atmosphere and lovely welcome. Food is AMAZING with a great choice of meat and veg. The beef is so succulent and the roast potatoes and stuffing balls are excellent. Dessert is very more-ish. Was very full leaving there. Already booked in for next week

First time to eat at Ruby’s and will definitely be going back! Great welcome and service, everyone was friendly and met you with a smile even though they were very busy. The carvery was excellent, lots of vegetable choices and three different meats on offer with the usual condiments and sauces to go with each meat. The roast parsnips were to die for and the gravy was just like home and really complimented the lunch. Starters and desserts are available but we were too full today but they looked lovely too. Their everyday menu and offers looked great and we will definitely be coming to have a meal on a week day. All different ages groups welcomed and able to have meals on both down and upstairs levels.

Can not fault the food, large party having a function upstairs and the food was absolutely fantastic. The Blackened Cajun Chicken with large crunchy crispy chips, the chicken were stunning! Even with over 30 people, non of the food orders were wrong. Waitresses were very attentive.Live band were really good too.

We had a stunning Sunday lunch today.The staff we so helpful and friendly especially Geraint the barman.definatly be returning

You can get anything here from a snack to a full blown meal. Certain evenings there is live entertainment and it attracts all ages.

This place is friendly and the best place in llanelli food is truly amazing and your made to feel welcome everytime I go there great atmosphere lovely staff really love going there

Came here for a family lunch the food was delicious in particular I had the nachos they were amazing and the waiter was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed will definately be coming back.

Visited just before New Years as a family get together (family visiting from France & Ireland). The food was presented to a 5star standard, professional service from the waitresses. Quality of the food was superb, recommend the surf & turf!. We all enjoyed our meals. Would defiantly recommended if you like quality food cooked with quality. Thank you Ruby’s

Excellent food would recommend to anyone easy parking in council car park across the road would recommend booking before you go

Went here recently for the first game of the Six Nations, Wales V France. They had a deal on for £14.95 for a meal and 3 pints. Can't go wrong! Food was gorgeous and the beer was good. I've booked to go back for Valentine's Day so fingers crossed it'll be just as good.

Went here yesterday for lunch with some family members, a first visit for me. We hadn't booked, but we were given a lovely table upstairs in the restaurant. The young lady who served us was so pleasant and helpful, she couldn't do enough for us. We all ordered different foods, but my daughter and I both shared the special offer of 2 meals for £11.90. I didn't expect much for that price, but I was speechless when my sausages, mash and onion gravy arrived! I can honestly say it's the best I've ever had, anywhere. We all thoroughly enjoyed the meals, they were exceptional. I can't wait to visit again, it's definitely going to be one of our favourite restaurants from now on. thank you Ruby's for an amazing meal.

Went for a Christmas work meal Best cavery had in ages and great service will definitely be going again

Booked here for Sunday carvery the choice was fantastic! It was very busy there but we were served within mins.this as got to be the best carvery we have had in a long time.the mash was beautiful and gravy was just as good as my mums.we definitely go back when we get the chance.all staff were nice and friendly too X

We went here to celebrate our 12th anniversary. We both had a steak meal. On the menu it offered two 8oz rump steaks for £15.95 which seemed like an excellent offer until we came to ordering! The waitress then explained that the two steaks were not separate meals but that it actually meant two 8oz steaks on one plate!!! This was not made clear on the menu and I would suggest either making this clearer or removing it from the menu completely as it is very misleading. We then ordered them as separate meals which came to £25 (a substantial increase on the "special offer")!!! We had the eating area to ourselves and as my husband wanted to watch a football match, they came in and pulled down the large screen in the room so he could follow the match. The steak meals were served within 15 minutes from ordering and were served with chips in a net, mushrooms, grilled tomato, onion rings and peas. The steaks wre cooked to perfection and aside from the misunderstanding over the menu prices, I would highly recommend. Beers were averagely priced and were very good. Overall service was excellent and the staff were very attentive to our needs.

went here for a family lunch , was family friendly , the service was great . our server was polite ,very friendly and he checked we had everything we needed . the food was delicious ! everyone loved their meals . will go again happily .

Lovely friendly service, and the food is 2nd to none. Absolutely beautiful home made quality food. Can't fault it. Would recommend to anyone

Had an awesome Sunday Carvery at RUBYS today with my friend I would definitely Recommend you to my family and friends you made us feel so welcome and all staff were so friendly.

Came here after being recommended online. One of the best carvery I've had. Stunning meats and great amount of veg, sauces, gravy. Very tasty, great quality food. They even facilitated my 4 year old daughter's request of chips. Couldn't have done more for us. 4 full belly's here. We will be back.

Had Sunday lunch at Rubys today- yes the place is a bit tired and could do with a makeover but its early days yet and the priority is getting the customers in I would assume.

This place is overdue for a make over. First impressions are very important. On leaving the car park, the untidy and unkept surroundings were very off putting. Cigarette ends and bottles all over the floor and overflowing bins. Surely this unsightly surroundings must be a health hazard. Having a great chef in Simon, this place could be a gold mine. So it's up to you guys - have a clean up. A fresh coat of paint and general tidy up would not cost a fortune? Will try them again in a while, when they've had time to freshen up the place. AND don't forget the outside.

Best Sunday dinner around thanks to Paula and Co! cannot fault it! best home cooked Sunday dinner in Llanelli as it was when they were in the White Lion - Felinfoel also. Wouldn't be the best without them!

We have enjoyed Sunday lunch at Ruby's on a number of occasions and it has always been truly excellent. Our first visit, having been recommended by friends, was a little strange because we couldn't find the premises. Having given up we suddenly spotted it and it was well worth looking for. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The Sunday lunch is all home cooked and traditional, I don't think you will find better well prepared and cooked meats anywhere, and the veg is all fresh. Every time I have been there it has been very busy with, what appeared, regular local customer. That speaks volumes. Caterers on top of their game.

On y est allé après un match de rugby de coupe d'europe. Super ambiance. Les gallois nous ont excellement reçu, le patron a tenu à nous offrir le whisky, nous y avons très bien mangé et les échanges avec les autres gallois présents ont été agréables et enrichissants. Nous y retournerons. A noter, souvent le soir, des concerts de rock and folk.

This was probably the best bar we visited in Llanelli over the bank holiday weekend. Although that doesn't say a lot because the town centre was deplorable. Never have I been to such a run down Sad town. Staff here were ok yet they seemed too many for the amount of customers. Drinks were of a reasonable price and the lager the best in town

Always get a warm welcome by the staff.good choice of drinks excellent sunday lunch and all sports covered.hob done

We had Sunday lunch today and the beef dinner was one of the best, nothing like having good home cooking just like your Nanna used to make 10/10 Staff were lovely ..... thank you

one of the members of staff was very rude to me saying my familly is giving the pub a bad name. I have been married for 15 years and as a couple we know what is good and bad.

1st time here and have to admit when I first walked in I thought I was in the wrong place. Dated sports bar / train station waiting room. HOWEVER the food was amazing.. proper homemade dinner, 3 meats.. loads of veg.. proper gravy.. lesson learnt don't judge a book by its cover!!

Qué fantástico almuerzo de domingo! La comida era excelente, liberar en tu carne boca y crujientes roasties. Siempre la recomiendo para una buena comida. Sólo había un problema, había un señor mayor (supongo el dueño o un gerente) que tenía un problema con niños que...

Tenía el almuerzo de domingo aquí para un cumpleaños familiar había un montón de nosotros, la comida era increíble asados era delicioso. La única pega fue la sopa muy desiguales, pero el personal era genial también ganas de volver y probar el menú principal!

Excelente servicio y las instalaciones. Lo recomiendo a cualquier turista, ya que este pub es un verdadero símbolo de Gales!

Buena comida y un servicio fantástico. El personal era muy agradable y servicial. Lo recomendaría para comida, comer o para llevar. Buen trabajo por todos en Ruby.

Increíble rotisería entre semana. Todo fue perfecto. Carne de pavo se fue tan tierno. Mejor la salsa. Geraint era extremadamente servicial y atento. Altamente recomendado.

Went for a Christmas night out, 3 course which was fantastic. Everything was fresh and hot and the drinks were reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and the DJ played some great tunes, old classics and the new chart stuff. Will be booking again for staff nights out. Staff were great too and couldn't do enough. Well done Ruby's.

Large choice of veg 2 stuffings very nice, one fault the room was too hot . But we went on one of the hottest days of the year .

Stunning Sunday Carvery!! Very tasty, homemade dinner. Lovely friendly staff!! All the veg including mushy peas!! One of the best dinners in Llanelli!!

Was recommended to try Ruby's for Sunday Lunch by friends, and have to say the food is absolutely beautiful, tasteful and about as good a Sunday Lunch as you could hope to have anywhere, seating is spacious too, so unlike other restaurants where your on top of the next table here you have ample room to enjoy your food, with super friendly staff making sure you're well catered for, highly recommend a visit to Ruby's Bar and Brasserie

Best carvery in town by far allHome cooked large choice great service. Large beer garden.All sport shown and live music on regular basis.

For an establishment that serves food you'd expect them to have toilet seats. Well they don't. Shocking facilities!!

Paul and Paula are back, and with the same old great Sunday lunch. As it was with them in the White in Felinfoel the lunch is second to none. From the meats, usually beef, turkey and pork to the massive selection of veg which includes mash and roast potatoes, carrots, swede roast parsnips, cauliflower cheese peas and mushy peas two types of stuffing Yorkshires and sausages. MmmmmmFab, we will be back.Dai Lema

Taken over by Paul and Paula from the White, excellent lunch, plenty of meat and fresh veg looking forward to my next visit

We ate for lunch here as a group of friends. A Sunday carvery, the place has been taken over by a new chef. The choice of vegetables in the carvery was huge, stuffing with apricots delicious and plenty of meat. The restaurant is split up into two parts, reached by lots of steep stairs . It is obviously very popular as it was exceptionally busy with lots of families with very young children. Good service.

Great staff, good craic and very welcoming. Hopefully they'll have their accommodation up and running for next season.

A great lunch, friendly service and facilities. Food good value for money and plenty of it. Ambient surroundings good for families

Regular on a Friday after work. Friendly staff and plenty of room to sit, or sit outside when we do see the sun!! Great place to socialise and right in the town centre!

Went with a large group of ladies for a Christmas night out and we were all amazed with the Christmas dinner we were served. There were plenty of turines which held lots of extremely hot FRESH VEG, we all thoroughly enjoyed the three courses we were served at an excellent rate. Would definitely recommend. I have also had a cooked breakfast there and this was very nice too.

I visited this Bar/Brasserie with my Aunt who knows the owners. It has a sizeable downstairs area and looks as though it would probably be very busy of an evening and weekend. The three of us had Cod, Chips and Peas at £7.50 each and it was really good. Lovely chunky chips and tasty Cod. They have a varied menu from snacks to curries to nachos to burgers to some good main meals at reasonable prices (like the cod and chips). My aunt told me that they also have a very good homemade Sunday roast for £7.95 and a 10% discount for seniors. Parking on site is limited but there is a pay and display car park just across the road. There is also outdoor seating for sunny days. Would go again if back in Llanelli.

Popped in after a Walk around town on our day off with my partner, I was ever so impressed, sat out the back with a beer on a sunny day, had a sharing platter between us for lunch, food was clean and tasty, bar man was pleasant :) needs a bit of a refurb inside, but that's just my opinion, good job guys :) this has a lot of potential :)

Popped in here today for a beer and lunch with the girlfriend. . The decor of the place could do with a little tlc but the beer and food was good.. prices not to pricey.. and the bar man was friendly enough. ..Service was slow as we where the only customers eating.. but im guessing that low prep and staff was the cause of that..Hopefully this place gets a little bit more local support and can prove to be a nice local eating spot...

Brill!!!!! They said it was homemade, it tasted homemade, roastie,yorkshire pudVery tasty, will go again staff very friendy and helpful. Lovely bar

Had Sunday Lunch here and it was beautiful. You can tell the food is all fresh and home madeand there was plenty of it. The staff were very polite and helpful which made our Ruby's experience more enjoyable. The price of the food was very reasonable and we had a nice relaxed atmosphere,we would definitely recommend.

Popped in here on the off chance yesterday with my family and had beautiful food with fab service. Prices are very reasonable. Going to book for Sunday lunch for Father's Day. Can't wait. Da Iawn

Answer When its Rubys in LlanelliBrasserie sounds good i thought as my and the wife stepped into Rubys. there was no menu outside the So called Brasserie apart for some badly printed posters stuck to a bit of board on the roadside.If you are running a restaurant business use a decent printing company to do it! This should have set off the alarm bells buzzers and whistles but it never does does it?The barman was busy like most youngsters today on his phone /Tablet whatever and when he served us i asked if he was doing food to which he said menus on the table! So taking a seat at atable i was amused to see the same poster font/style as outside LOL.(see pics) Apart from the poor menu choices of jacket potatoes,wraps,cowl the usual things you would expect to find in a train station cafe not a Brasserie! The weird pricing and spelling mistakes and the fact it was 1pm and no one eating we decided not to bother the barman as he was by now busy back in internet land and we headed off to EJs across the road for our lunch instead.
