Ruby's Diner Introduces Fall Menu Items!

Just in time for Fall, Ruby's Diner, one of the iconic Southern California favorites for burgers, shakes and fries is introducing new menu items for a limited time. Ruby's Diner invited Sasaki Time to check out their new Fall Menu offerings that start this Wednesday October 5th!

One of my seasonal favorites, the Pumpkin Hot Cakes are back! The pancakes are light and fluffy and full of that delicious pumpkin and cinnamon flavor! They almost do not need maple syrup!

New this year is the Pumpkin Waffle! The outside of the waffle is crisp while the inside literally melts in your mouth! This would be my choice for breakfast!
