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.

Came for lunch on a weekday; restaurant was busy, with only one server, who did a fantastic job; quick, competent and pleasant, we still enjoyed the artichokes, the veal tonnato, linguini with clams and a pepperoni pizza, all memorable. Shame on the second server who didn't show...
