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.

    Fabulous experience. If you like delicious comfort food in a charming, relaxed atmosphere...this is the place. My wife and I shared a cornbread side with honey butter. Made beautifully. I had the double RAD cheese burger. Absolutely delicious. My wife had the brisket sandwich and loved it. We had a side of fries and they were crisp and very tasty. Everything at Ruthie's is homemade. I don't think you can get a meal at Ruthie's that's anything less than wonderful.
