Referred by a co-worker and read about it in top 50 restaurants in the DMV- this was one of them! Make a reservation! We went to Sunday brunch on Mother’s Day. It is unassuming from the outside (parking is limited in front so look into the apartment lot next door.\n\nIt is so spacious once inside and has outdoor seating as well. The proprietor has a vision of farm kitchen dishes (like the actual plates) and mom’s sunny kitchen.\n\nFood was outstanding! Had the Ruthie’s big plate, sausage and biscuits, and sides (lots of sides)! All of them amazing. Seems like the teas and chai latte are very much from India-inspired recipes as they have ginger (taste like soap to me). But other than the drinks that my palette didn’t like - that is no reason to not try anything there.\n\nCornbread is delightful with butter for days. The hushpuppies were good but not a lot of shrimp as they say but the hot of the jalapeños is nice if you like that. The deviled eggs are awesome!\n\nFor dessert we had the campfire cookies and scoop of ice cream. They are 3 big cookies stacked and the ice cream has another cookie smashed in- if you like chocolate chips cookies then this is for you. Also had the butterscotch pudding -that was okay - had heath bar crumbled on it.\n\nIt is a bit loud because your tables are right on\ntop of each other and all the conversations.\n\nWould go here again on a non brunch day to try all the other food they must have.","__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"photos":{"galleryV3":{"photos":[{"title":null,"pid":41846470,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/41846470-1","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"other","width":2880,"height":2304,"timestamp":"2021-04-02T19:28:50Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":62613890,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/62613890-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-03-02T18:38:43Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":66787616,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/66787616-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":3854,"height":2342,"timestamp":"2024-07-21T16:01:04Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":66787625,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/66787625-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":3854,"height":2342,"timestamp":"2024-07-21T16:01:16Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":48037487,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/48037487-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":1854,"height":1440,"timestamp":"2022-05-03T16:29:09Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":43852002,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/43852002-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":4032,"height":3024,"timestamp":"2021-10-25T15:37:40Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":76406649,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/76406649-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2025-04-06T13:29:40Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68500595,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68500595-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-09-21T05:04:45Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68500590,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68500590-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-09-21T05:04:27Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":71497411,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/71497411-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-12-19T20:49:57Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68305524,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68305524-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":4032,"height":3024,"timestamp":"2024-09-15T01:53:39Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":68305609,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/68305609-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":4032,"height":3024,"timestamp":"2024-09-15T01:58:54Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":71497414,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/71497414-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-12-19T20:50:10Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":72545661,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/72545661-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2025-01-18T23:18:42Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":66435034,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/66435034-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"food","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2024-07-08T17:31:16Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"}],"__typename":"GalleryPhotosV3","totalCount":466,"categories":[{"name":"food","count":416,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"drink","count":41,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"exterior","count":5,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"interior","count":2,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"other","count":2,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"}],"showMosaic":false},"profile":{"xsmall":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xsmall/1/41846470.jpg","width":105,"height":105,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"large":{"url":"https://images.otstatic.com/prod1/41846470/1/large.jpg","width":640,"height":640,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"__typename":"RestaurantProfile"},"__typename":"RestaurantPhotos"},"address":{"line1":"3411

I would recommend each dish.\nFor entrees, a few got brisket, black bean burger, chicken sandwich, pulled pork and a salad. Everyone thought they had picked the best option. The sides are delicious. I got the fries and arugula and fennel salad. The salad paired perfectly with my rich, fatty (in a good way) brisket. The fries, maybe the best in the DMV, were lagniappe.\nFor dessert, we ordered all the options plus the special, a chocolate orange mousse creme brulee. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite dessert. However, if forced to pick one maybe the cookies and ice cream has a slight lead.\nI should note RAD's wine and beer list is well-thought out. The cocktails specials were enticing.\nGo to Ruthies All Day or RAD...!","submittedDateTime":"2024-05-21T21:32:30Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"GastronautDC","isVip":true,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","initials":"GD","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":1181,"endIndex":1188,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-1082308-255082-190039792419","text":"Fantastic BBQ!

The hushpuppies were good but not a lot of shrimp as they say but the hot of the jalapeños is nice if you like that. The deviled eggs are awesome!\n\nFor dessert we had the campfire cookies and scoop of ice cream. They are 3 big cookies stacked and the ice cream has another cookie smashed in- if you like chocolate chips cookies then this is for you. Also had the butterscotch pudding -that was okay - had heath bar crumbled on it.\n\nIt is a bit loud because your tables are right on\ntop of each other and all the conversations.\n\nWould go here again on a non brunch day to try all the other food they must have.","rating":{"food":5,"service":3,"ambience":4,"value":5,"noise":"ENERGETIC","overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":2,"nickname":"April","metro":{"metroId":5,"displayName":"Denver","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"A","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-11T22:05:42Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-11T13:45:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1082308-338836-130011006763","text":"The food was delicious and the service was fast and helpful.

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.
Ruthie's All Day provides off-site catering for all occasions and special events. We are able to provide drop-off platters, or provide staffing for more formal catered events. Please contact us at hello@ruthiesallday.com for more information!

It is so spacious once inside and has outdoor seating as well. The proprietor has a vision of farm kitchen dishes (like the actual plates) and mom’s sunny kitchen.
Food was outstanding! Had the Ruthie’s big plate, sausage and biscuits, and sides (lots of sides)! All of them amazing. Seems like the teas and chai latte are very much from India-inspired recipes as they have ginger (taste like soap to me). But other than the drinks that my palette didn’t like - that is no reason to not try anything there.
Cornbread is delightful with butter for days. The hushpuppies were good but not a lot of shrimp as they say but the hot of the jalapeños is nice if you like that. The deviled eggs are awesome!
For dessert we had the campfire cookies and scoop of ice cream. They are 3 big cookies stacked and the ice cream has another cookie smashed in- if you like chocolate chips cookies then this is for you. Also had the butterscotch pudding -that was okay - had heath bar crumbled on it.
It is a bit loud because your tables are right on
top of each other and all the conversations.
Would go here again on a non brunch day to try all the other food they must have.

Our dinner party was delighted to find two seafood additions to the regular RAD menu: pan seared scallops and a fried cod sandwich. In addition, off-menu specials included a very tender and flavorful beef tri tip entree and freshly harvested snap peas as a side dish. The list of go-to dishes just keeps expanding!

Took my wife there for a Mother’s Day outing. My order arrived but hers never did. Told by two employees that it would be there any minute, We were disgusted and left. Her meal never arrived. The restaurant wasn’t even crowded. Instead we got Chinese takeout. Thank you Ruthie’s for such a memorable Mother’s Day.

Even though we live in DC, this is our go to for weekend brunch (if we can get a table.) We love the food, it’s a great relaxed, but high service atmosphere-the only hard part is that we can never choose which of the delicious items to order.

Excellent birthday lunch with a friend consisting of a delicious soft shell crab sandwich special and pulled pork platter. Noise level was high but, otherwise, another satisfying meal at Ruthie's.
Thank you!

We ate outside on their beautiful patio and experienced their consistently wonderful service and delicious food. A new item on the menu is scallops that were cooked perfectly and set in a pea puree speckled with amazingly fresh snap peas. As a bonus the large portions allowed us to save some for a delicious next day lunch.
