How Many Calories Are in the Garden Bar?

There is no single calorie count for the Ruby Tuesday Garden Bar because every guest creates a different salad.

A simple plate made mainly with greens and vegetables may contain fewer than 400 calories. A larger plate with cheese, bacon, croutons, creamy dressing and several toppings may contain 800 calories or more.

Multiple trips to the salad bar will also increase the total calories consumed during the meal.

Low-Carb Garden Bar Combination

A low-carb or keto-style salad may contain:

  • Baby spinach
  • Field greens
  • Diced eggs
  • Bacon pieces
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Ham
  • Oil and vinegar dressing

Estimated calories: 300–450 calories

To keep carbohydrates lower, avoid croutons, sweet dressings, fruit toppings, pasta salads and loaded potatoes.

High-Protein Garden Bar Combination

Guests looking for more protein may build a salad using:

  • Diced ham
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Edamame
  • Black beans
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Cottage cheese
  • Turkey

Estimated calories: 400–600 calories

The final number will depend on the amount of meat, cheese, beans, seeds and dressing added.

Premium Ingredient Combination

Some Garden Bar 2.0 locations may offer premium ingredients such as:

  • Artichoke hearts
  • Diced salami
  • Pepperoni
  • Kalamata olives
  • Fresh fruit
  • Specialty cheeses

Adding several premium toppings may contribute approximately 150–300 extra calories to a salad.

Availability varies by restaurant.

Tips for Building a Lighter Salad

Start with romaine, spinach or mixed greens and add plenty of fresh vegetables. Choose beans, eggs or a moderate portion of lean protein to make the salad more filling.

Use dressing lightly because creamy dressings can add a significant number of calories. You can also place dressing on the side and dip each bite instead of pouring it over the entire salad.

Limit high-calorie toppings such as:

  • Bacon pieces
  • Large amounts of cheese
  • Croutons
  • Tortilla strips
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Creamy dressing
  • Pasta-based prepared salads

Garden Bar With Soup or Baked Potato

Ruby Tuesday may offer promotional Garden Bar combinations that include soup of the day or a loaded baked potato.

A broth-based soup is usually lighter than a creamy soup. A loaded baked potato may add several hundred calories when topped with butter, cheese, bacon and sour cream.

The total calories for a Garden Bar combination can therefore range from approximately 650 to more than 900 calories.

Is the Ruby Tuesday Garden Bar Unlimited?

Yes. The Endless Garden Bar is an all-you-can-eat dine-in option at participating Ruby Tuesday restaurants.

Guests may return for additional salad plates during the same meal. Unlimited access does not normally mean the food can be shared with another guest or packed for takeout.

Final Words

The Ruby Tuesday Endless Garden Bar 2.0 usually costs between $13.99 and $14.49 as a standalone meal. Add-on prices and promotional offers may reduce the cost at participating locations.

Because the salad bar is completely customizable, calories can range from a light 300-calorie salad to an 850-calorie plate or more. Prices, specials, ingredients and nutritional values should be confirmed with your nearest Ruby Tuesday restaurant.
