6. Ruthie's All-Day

4.8

Exceptional(3312)

$$$$Price: Moderate

• American • Arlington

Booked 131 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.

The smoked brisket rivals 250 BBQ though 250 is a tad better. Having the squash soup with the brisket platter is a good bargain. Service was excellent.

The sushi was excellent. The music was loud and the acoustics of the restaurant amplified loud nearby diners. While I thoroughly enjoyed the food, I strongly suggest eating outside if the weather permits.
