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.

Went for Mother’s Day brunch. They have a great menu. I love the popcorn they give you as a little starter. It tastes like some herb that they use like rosemary to pop it. Hubby had the short rib hash, and I couldn’t decide between the banana fosters french toast or the chicken and waffles. I guess chicken and waffles it is!
