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.

Husband took me here for my birthday lunch. Had the steak frites and it was perfect! Crunchy sear on the outside, medium rare on the inside - just the way I like my steaks cooked. Barrel-aged Manhattan was delicious and the carrot cake was divine. He had the 6 oz. Filet mignon, mashed potatoes and green beans with pecans. His favorite meal here. The Bloody Mary was perfect, as was the killer chocolate cake! Excellent service, as always. This is our go-to celebration restaurant plus we love the Thanksgiving meal that they prepare. This place does everything right.
