Bet you never expect to go to a restaurant and get "extras" with your meal. We didn't but we sure did at Ruby Tuesday on Saturday.
For starters, we got extra minutes added to our wait time. It was supposed to be a 15-20 minute wait but felt more like a 30-40 minute wait. It actually wasn't raining while we were waiting, and I might've been able to memorize the menu had I looked at it earlier.
Then the appetizer dishes came with extra color. Yuck! Come on now, don't just grab the stack and not check if the plates are clean before placing them on our table.
We eventually did get clean dishes so that we could eat the (extra) Loaded Cheese Fries that we ordered. "Ruby's million dollar fries topped with melted Jack 'n cheddar cheese, chopped bacon and sour cream" are a "Guest favorite."
MSO had the Steak & Shrimp Combo. He ordered his steak medium-rare but got some extra cooking as it came to him medium-well.
I had the extra fatty Church Street Stacker. Didn't eat the whole thing as making room for dessert was too hard to pass up as the fat on me was calling for additional company much to my chagrin.
Dessert consisted of the Strawberry Tallcake. Now the menu says "strawberry Tallcake, topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream." The keyword here is topped. Apparently no one knew that there was ice cream on the top and cake on the bottom so when MSO gave my sis some and my mom took some, they ended up taking all the ice cream. So nothing left but cake and some whipped cream. There were some extra words of dismay.
Now here comes the extra good part...our friend G got an extra surprise with her meal. I didn't actually see this as baby decided to give me an extra treat of a diaper full of poop, but we got it on camera.
As she slides her Mango-Kiawe BBQ Chicken with mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas into the box, what does she see? It's a friggen label of all things.
Of course, she didn't have to pay for her meal but it sure won't erase the extra visions of labels in future meals.
Sometimes extras aren't always good but despite them, the night was fun and that's all that matters.
(Would've posted this earlier but it was so exhausting trying to get all these pictures in. Blogger has still been acting up.)

Which one did you go to? Everybody should have gotten a free meal.
Their entrees are never enough so I always get the all-you-can-eat salad bar to make up the difference.
The one that's not in your hometown which would probably be our mistake, right?
Fantastic post with great matching pictures. I can feel the anger! ;)
The workers there probably thought you were a nut taking pictures of all the dishes??
I can hear your mom now regarding the dessert, "Aw shucks!"
At least youd didn't find a bug in your meal.
Hilarious! Haven't been yet but maybe I'll wait awhile. That pink crud on the plates was pretty nasty.
