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.

Really good food with a unique twist on some more common apps. The service was good but not excellent. Almost was too eager to take our order without “reading the room” that we weren’t ready. Would definitely go back!

Mercedes was awesome! Her recommendations were excellent. She took care of a party of six with grace. The smoked old fashioned was delicious. The lasagna was marvelous. We also had two gluten free guests that were able to choose from many options. We were all happy and will we return.
