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 restaurant was packed for the holiday season! Loved the small bites concept, as we got to try so many different dishes. Loved the hangar steak, pickled vegetables, all the salads, pulled pork egg Benedict; Balkan sausage, OK basically almost everything except the potato hash, which was meh. A great festive meal and ambiance!

We once again enjoyed our meals at Ruthie's All Day in Arlington, VA. I had the Curried Shrimp and my wife had the Grilled Salmon. Our sides of greens, arugula & fennel salad, macaroni & cheese and coleslaw were excellent, as usual. We shared the Hush Puppies appetizer and the Maple Apple Cobbler dessert, which were also excellent. I had two cups of very good chamomile tea. Our server was very good, as we've come to expect at Ruthie's.

Very good food, excellent service by Samy, lovely atmosphere with the music at low volume so conversation was easy. The Bottomless Lunch is a great value. Steak skewers, Brussels sprouts, fungi pizza, and crispy potatoes were highlights!
