5. Ruby’s
Ruby’s Bar & Grill occupies a space that was originally the Hebrew National Deli and Bar in 1934. The restaurant is proud of its Coney Island history, even incorporating pieces of original 1920s boardwalk wood into its walls, tables, bar, and ceiling. Owned and operated by the same family since 1972, Ruby’s is a full-service restaurant where you can sit inside and enjoy foods like hamburgers, chicken tenders, and corn dogs and follow those up with an ice cream dessert, funnel cake, or cotton candy. They are open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to midnight for fireworks, and Saturday and Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., with weekend breakfast 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
