• American • Arlington
Booked 121 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.

    I'd have given a five-star review if not for the service. Our waitress wasn't rude, but she lacked warmth and attentiveness. We were there for my sister's birthday lunch on Feb 27th, and while the food was great as it was on my first visit (the lamp chop had a strong gamey smell, but the taste was still good), the service was disappointing. When we left, she must have seen us because she was at the counter, she didn't acknowledge us at all--- not even a simple goodbye. Service can make or break an experience, and I hope the restaurant works on improving it. I'd still recommend this place for the food, but better service would make it much more enjoyable.

    Took mom for her 85th birthday. There were 6 of us. What a lovely, lovely lunch. Our server, Leilani, was so gracious and patient with us (gift opening, etc.). Fireplace was roaring on a cold day, food was perfect and prices are so reasonable! Highly recommend!!
