MINI Burgers at Ruby Tuesdays

I caught the new TV promo for MINI Burgers at Ruby Tuesdays. Showcases several CR/W--with CR dash as part of the commercial. CR/W rules. Actually, the promo might be better suited for TGI Fridays--seeing their colors are red and white.

Kind of a rip-off of Italian Job stunts

But they do have MINI burgers

If anyone has seen this commercial posted on the internet could you post a link? I haven't seen it around here. Our group meets up once a month for dinner and maybe we could try out Ruby Tuesdays just for the heck of it since we try to move around and keep things fresh anyway.

I saw the commercial and ran out and had me some MINI burgers. They were ho hum, average. A tiny patty on a medium bun, onion ring like strips thrown on top with some cheese. They were supposed to have mustard, catsup and mayo, (an odd combo in my opinion) but my burgers contained a drop of catsup, much to little for me. I give Ruby's MINI burgers 2 out of 5 Coopers.

Now if you're looking for some tasty mini burgers, head to Dave and Busters and get their bar burgers. It's all about the bun. Tiny, yet delicious! 5 out of 5 Coopers.

Good luck with that...I sent a pile of cold mashed potatoes back to the kitchen there a few weeks ago requesting that some heat be applied to them...they came back even colder... ...great salad bar though!

It might work better if you make a comment to the director of the commercial on his blog here... http://prolost.blogspot.com/2006/02/...sday-spot.html

Tried the MINI burger--actually in the menu as Mini Burger. On a 1-10 a disappointing 3. Ruby T"s normaly has pretty decent burgers. This was hacked up/seemed more like a burger from Mc Donalds, and too much grease--not helped by each being wrapped in paper. I parked right in front and thought I might get a freebie. Didn't happen. Actually I will push more when Outback starts using MINIs.

I NEVER send anything back as I know what happens sometimes in the kitchen.

That's too bad the burgers are not that great. I think that we'll have to run to Ruby T's for one of our GCM runs (Burger to Burger Rally and Run 2006 or Burger to Burger 2005)

I'm always looking for a good buger. The best so far...

I guess it will be a while before I get to try a Mini Burger. The nearest Ruby Tuesday to me apparently is in Woodland, CA, 117 miles away. But that's okay because the best burgers around here are to be found on my backyard barbecue.

You forgot IZZY'S in Lake Tahoe!!! When I used to live in Lake Tahoe (it's been ten years...) the greasy spot for a good belly bomb was Izzy's. I'll be out there this summer and give a full rounded report if it's still around

We have a Ruby Tuesdays in town and the food is just so-so. If I could get a discount for driving a MINI I would be inclined to eat there.

I guess you'll just have to come down for the Burger to Burger run...

If anybody can help me figure out how to do it, I have that commercial saved on my DVR and perhaps I could upload it.

That's funny!


I saw the commercial too. I have to say that only us MINI drivers could really appreciate it. It didn't seem very connected to the product (even though they are mini-burgers). However I will enjoy watching it every time! Kinda like those Big Daddy commercials...
