Ruthie's All-Day

Ruthie’s is one of those places we come back to again and again. It’s our go-to spot for taking friends and family when they visit because we know it never disappoints. Yes, weekend reservations can be tough if you don’t plan ahead. And yes, service can slow down a bit when they’re busy. But the food? Always worth it. We love the cornbread, deviled eggs, fried chicken biscuit, anything with brisket, the grits, potato salad, lattes, and of course the cookies. Everything is consistently delicious. Plan ahead for a reservation, be patient with parking and service during peak times, and you’ll be rewarded with an incredible meal. Such a gem.

Wow! This place is awesome. We went on a Wednesday lunch time. The place was rammed, so I would highly recommend making a reservation. Even though it was extremely busy the service was friendly, fast and efficient. It wasn’t too noisy despite it being crowded. Our food turned up in good time and was hot. We ordered the dry rubbed wings and the pulled pork meat plate with Slaw, beans and french fries. Everything was delicious. Plentiful portions too. Even though I shared our dish with my husband we still had food left over to take home. Would really look forward to a return visit to try other menu items. The Brisket looked fabulous.

Delighted I came to this place. I’m in the area for a few days and I googled Best Breakfast Restaurant in Arlington and oh boy! Google was not wrong the atmosphere, the decor, the employees and most importantly the food was beyond my expectations. If you’re looking for true American cuisine with a sprinkle of home prepared by your favorite southern grandma look no further! Oh and they have eggs ALL DAY! Which was amazing because I ended up ordering lunch but a side of eggs and biscuits which OH MY GOODNESS best biscuits I’ve had in my 19 years in this country. I will definitely be back not only because of what I mentioned above but also because Billy my waiter was stupendous and even though he had quite a lot of tables to take of during the lunch rush he made me feel like I was the only on

Ruthie’s All Day provided great service—everyone was very friendly and personable. The restaurant has a nice, cozy vibe. My wife and I stopped in for lunch and started with the deviled eggs and buffalo wings. We also tried a few cocktails from the bar. While the drinks weren’t watered down with too much ice (which we appreciated), they were a bit too light on the alcohol. For our mains, she ordered the burger and I had the brisket sandwich with crispy Brussels sprouts. The burger was average, and the brisket sandwich was just okay—the brisket was a little dry and overcooked. Overall, lunch was decent, and I wouldn’t mind coming back to try their breakfast or dinner to see how it compares.

Ruthie’s All-Day has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants — and for good reason. We came with friends visiting from New York, and they absolutely loved it too. Everything we tried was fantastic. The hush puppies were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the cornbread was warm, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet, and both the steak and brisket were cooked to perfection — tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The drinks were great as well, perfectly complementing the meal. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, and the service made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for amazing Southern-inspired comfort food done right, Ruthie’s All-Day is a must-visit.
