About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch
Lively

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

Ordered Salmon w/fries and salad. - Salmon was delicious; however, the salmon, fries, and salad were all loaded together on one small plate. Some grease mixed w/salad, made it not as good as it could have been. -Fries were cold -Waiter provided service in the form of quick “drive-bys” and never really good the appropriate amount of time to take out proper order. We constantly had to falta him down or rely on other servers nearby. He needs more training. - check the mixture on diet soda. It was a little flat, needs to be tested daily. -Chick tenders and mac&cheese very good.
