1. Ruthie's All-Day

4.8

Exceptional(3273)

$$$$Price: Moderate

• American • Arlington

Booked 139 times today

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.

Service was great. Friendly, professional server and host. The food and drinks were wonderful but the dessert was not good at all. The cake was very dry and stale. Flavorless. Everything else was amazing though. We enjoyed ourselves, thank you!
