Restaurant Manager

Ruby's Diner
Newport, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/7/2026

On December 7th, 1982, the doors to the very first Ruby's Diner opened at the end of the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, CA. What once was an old bait shop had been transformed into a sparkling diner with authentic antique decor, jiving tunes from a past time, and friendly service -- Ruby's Diner was seemingly straight from the 1940's. The tiny 45-seat restaurant, which was named after its founder's mother, Ruby, opened with just three employees and a simple menu of hamburgers, hot dogs, and malts. In its first day, it brought in a whopping $63, but most importantly, smiling guests looking to remember a simpler, happier time.

Now, over 35 years later, over 30 Ruby's Diner restaurants can be found in all different parts of the country such as California, Nevada, Texas, and Pennsylvania. We are proud to continue our legacy of providing guests with quality service, delicious cuisine, and what we like to call Ruby Magic. Here's to many more years of Shooby Doobying down to Ruby's, and here's to people like you who make our company what it is today!
