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.

I've eaten here before and never had a bad meal. This time, another person in our party liked the Branzino but had to pick out a lot of bones as she was eating it. The salmon, grits and greens were excellent. Even though we didn't order dessert, they brought us a lovely cookies/ice cream dessert to split because it was my friend's birthday. That's a nice gesture. Only thing I'd change...noise level. For the three of us to talk across the 4-top, we had to lean in and speak quite loudly.

The food is imaginative and delicious and the service is always lovely. We sat outdoors, so the noise level was okay. I have sat indoors and find the noise level to be way to high for it to be an enjoyable experience.

Really enjoyed Ruthie’s menu and patio. The food was very good except some potatoes on one breakfast plate coming out black as they were so burned. However the service left a lot to desire. This is a second or third time we’ve had the same waiter and the experience hasn’t changed. He’s not very personable but more importantly he never came to ask about drink refills and just provided a “cold” experience. One guest also asked abt the bbq meat and the response was very poor. Hope this is addressed by the restaurant as it’s such a great little spot.

This rating is for the hostess, not the food. Arrived early for a reservation. She told me it would be a few minutes. Waited half hour. Watched people walk in and get immediately seated (saw one guest who had a reservation at the exact same time get seated before us and she arrived 15 minutes after us - that person was seated alone (even though it was a party of 3) - we had eaten our lunch and she was still sitting at her table waiting for her other guests to arrive by the time we had left). Inquired again and was shown directly to an empty table outside. There were also several other empty tables near us. I understand staff shortage, but that doesn't mean you jump others in front of waiting guests with a reservation. Update (after meal): Waiter took our order - his service was initially good. Our starters (apple donuts) and coffee never arrived. Our two orders of biscuits and gravy arrived very quickly. Didn't see the waiter again until we had finished our food and were waiting for the check. When he arrived he asked if we had received our starters. We advised we hadn't and he said he'd check on them - at which point we told him we didn't want the as they were the "starter". We asked for the check. He brought out the check and said "I took them off". You took off items that we didn't receive? Very gracious. I do believe the waiter was busy, but a brief stop by our table to check during the meal would have been appropriate. Our only interaction with the waiter was ordering and paying the check. I would give 5 stars for the food. We had the biscuits and gravy (2 orders) and 2 glasses of iced tea (no refills because nobody checked on us). Both the food and the iced tea were spectacular - certainly enjoyed the quality of the food. Overall: Ambiance - very good Food - excellent Service - mediocre Hostess - subpar

Food was excellent, but the place is way to noisy and the service is just okay. Food: Our favorites were the brisket, the pulled pork, the brussels sprout and the potato salad. Noise: Terrible. I was there when the restaurant opened and it was already terrible. I thought that by now they might have done something about it. Service: We felt rushed to leave, as many waiters insisted to take our plates when we were still eating. We were not even offered desert. I recommend this restaurant if you only care about food.

Amazing food at a great value. It really feels like they put their heart and soul into their cooking. It’s the kind of food that makes you smile, and the atmosphere is hard to beat- lively, fun, and comfortable from start to finish. Country style cooking meets elevated bbq, and they make it look easy!

The beef brisket is so very good. It melts in your mouth. The server was very attentive even though there was a full house. The only thing that kept me from giving it a total 5-Star review was the noise level. We had a hard time conversing.

Delicious bbq comfort food. Was able to try the following dishes: juicy and tender brisket, fluffy and light mac n cheese, apple crumble with a hint of savoriness, cornbread and honey butter baked to perfection(perfectly moist and fluffy inside and slightly crunchy and chewy outside), deviled eggs, grilled octopus, shaved fennel and arugula salad, greens, the Brunswick stew, the brussels sprouts with a fish sauce vinaigrette, and the potato dishes. The only disappointment was the brussels sprouts. Appreciated a different spin on a common side dish, but was not a fan. Overall, every dish was a surpassed expectations. So good, had to come back two days later - Ruthie’s food is the kind that has you humming and shimmying happily in your seat with every bite! (PS - the cornbread and mac n cheese are just as delicious for lunch the next day right out of the fridge!)
