About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch
Lively

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.

Our dinner party was delighted to find two seafood additions to the regular RAD menu: pan seared scallops and a fried cod sandwich. In addition, off-menu specials included a very tender and flavorful beef tri tip entree and freshly harvested snap peas as a side dish. The list of go-to dishes just keeps expanding!

Even though we live in DC, this is our go to for weekend brunch (if we can get a table.) We love the food, it’s a great relaxed, but high service atmosphere-the only hard part is that we can never choose which of the delicious items to order.

Excellent birthday lunch with a friend consisting of a delicious soft shell crab sandwich special and pulled pork platter. Noise level was high but, otherwise, another satisfying meal at Ruthie's. Thank you!

We ate outside on their beautiful patio and experienced their consistently wonderful service and delicious food. A new item on the menu is scallops that were cooked perfectly and set in a pea puree speckled with amazingly fresh snap peas. As a bonus the large portions allowed us to save some for a delicious next day lunch.

The only reason we passed on today's special - smoked beef with white cheddar on Ruthie's milk bread - is because our party of four has long-lasting favorites on the regular lunch menu. Three out of four of us ordered the hearty grain salad ( a meal in itself) with added protein. This was our fourth meal at Ruthie's All-Day in the past seven days - a testament to the fact that Ruthie's is our go-to restaurant for all occasions.

Great meal. Split corn bread as an appetizer then had steak and eggs for lunch. Delicious. One of the best casual restaurants in Arlington.
