Reviews
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.
We tried their oyster dish to start — it comes with 5 pieces and they’re on the smaller side, but beautifully presented just like everything else that came out. Honestly, every plate here looks like it was made for photos.
My favorite was definitely the tri-tip steak paired with my vegetable side. The portion was so generous that it fed me for dinner and again the next morning. Flavorful, tender, and just overall satisfying.
Service was quick, friendly, and super on top of things even during the dinner rush. We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and they surprised us with the most delicious cookie and ice cream combo — warm, gooey, and the perfect sweet ending.
Definitely a spot worth visiting, especially if you want great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere!
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.
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.
Now for the food! The cornbread was absolutel perfection – no notes. Crispy edges, fluffy moist center, slathered in delicious honey butter. We also tried the hush puppies which were sooo flavorful even my picky eater of a bestfriend came back for more, we just had wished there could be a tad more shrimp in it but can’t say they weren’t good. My drink was delicious and strong, I had a whiskey mule that was crisp and refreshing, my friend had the Irish coffee which she enjoyed. We both went with sandwiches for entrees, she the pulled pork and I the RAD burger; we agreed that they were too good not to finish right there – leftovers wouldn’t do them justice. The fries were an extra $2 but lemme tell you they were some torch fries!! House made, fried to a crisp golden brown and nicely seasoned; the perfect accompaniment to our sandwiches.
Overall we’ll definitely be returning. Thanks for a great time!!!
The atmosphere was pleasantly surprising—warm and inviting. Jon was an excellent server—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. Glad I trusted a stranger’s recommendation!
The food was great – came to our table promptly. The apple donuts are a must try especially during the fall and winter months. They are perfectly fried with real apple sauce inside that is just the right amount. I would definitely visit again for brunch.
There is limited parking for Ruthie’s and there is additional paid parking near in the apt/condo lot right next door to Ruthie’s.

Really good service and atmosphere here. A nice place in the neighborhood to eat and get good wood-fired southern barbecue.
The sausage was exceptional — truly one of the best I’ve ever had in my life.
Absolutely worth it and a must-visit if you’re in the area.
