Let's see what makes Ruthy's Yum Yum a top spot for a reasonably priced picnic take-out...

The Restaurant

It’s hard to miss Ruthy's vibrant pops of color on your way to Shoal Bay.

Its candy-yellows, bright pinks and bold lilacs ensure you do not drive past without at least slowing down to fully take in the colorful explosion.

Ruthy’s Yum Yum is charming and quaint. Tucked on the roadside, there are a few tables for dining-in but to-go orders are the go-to for most customers.

It’s the last restaurant on your way to Shoal Bay East, making it the perfect pit-stop to grab a "beach-nic" lunch.

Let’s talk about the food...

Ruthy's Menu

Ruthy’s came to fame and gained their reputation for their Yum Yum Wings and their super secret Yum Yum Sauce. It has kept their customers coming back for years!...

Ruthy's menu doesn't end there.

Cheesy Mahi-Mahi Quesadilla

Ruthy's quesadillas are divine and their fish quesadilla just may be the best one on the menu!

Fresh mahi mahi chunks are mixed with cheese and veggies and loaded between two tortillas. Each bite has a perfect cheese-to-mahi ratio that always makes me wish I’d ordered two.

Quesadillas come with a fresh salad and crispy fries. Not a lover of fish? Fill your quesadilla with chicken or shrimp.

Speaking of shrimp, the teriyaki shrimp stir-fry is...

Pineapple, crisply baked capsicum, mushrooms, fresh olives and broccoli... yep, Ruthy's has just about every topping imaginable for lovers of veggie pizza!

As for the pizza crust? The gluten free option does not come at the cost of taste. Crisp, light and airy, it may be my new preference.

Last but not least when it comes to Ruthy's menu? This loyally-loved hot spot is famous for its off-menu special. Needing to know all about it, we talked to the creator herself...
