First time at Amy Ruth’s and it did not disappoint. We were immediately greeted and seated. The waitress was attentive and wonderful. We definitely didn’t feel rushed which was great. This way we could throughly enjoy the meal and also just our lunch conversation.

Restaurant is so spacious that we had our privacy. Unlike a lot of NYC restaurants where tables are so close together.

Most important the food. The food was well worth the trip from Jersey. It was the best fried chicken I’ve had. All the sides were a great enhancement to the meal. Really delicious. Of course we had to finish our meal with dessert. We selected two items made in-house and they did not disappoint.

Only negative is that I’m not closer to the restaurant to eat there more often. Definitely worth the trip and highly recommended for a meal that just feels like comfort.

Thank you to the staff and to the Chef for a wonderful experience!

Oh Muh (My) God. Their food was one of my highlights visiting NY. I got the Honey Dipped Fried Chicken with greens & Mac & cheese. You have an option of chicken so I chose the chicken wings. You receive 4 with them. They were sooooo good. The only thing I didn't like was when we received our tickets, we were told it could not be separated but they did it when one of us went to the counter. Other than that, this food was bomb

Service was nice but food was bad. Basically a school lunch’s take on soul food. Collard greens and the smothered pork chop were good but not much else.

Food was fabulous. The cornbread is yet to be beaten by any other restaurant or bakery.

I stopped in today to get some Turkey Wings. I didn’t enjoy it. I had smothered Turkey Wings with Mac and cheese and corn. I ordered corn on the cob but I got canned corn yuck. The wings were not seasoned just bland and even the Mac and cheese tasted like leftovers. The cornbread was hard. I would not recommend this place as a person from the South, just tasteless ✌🏾

Cozy vibe and very nice interior. Love the paintings. The customer service was really good. All the waiters were so kind. The food was superb. Also they did not come play when it came to the portion size. The wait time was very short, which is good. I recommend going to this spot when you’re craving southern food and don’t want to be disappointed.

They recently changed the hours of operation so today I went and they close at 8:30 PM me and several other people at the door asking for food. Crazy.

Waited over an hour to sit, granted it was Thanksgiving. Then waited 1 1/2 hours from order to serving of food. This is when we are told they are out of most of sides, then right before we get our food they tell us they are out of the sides we requested. Horrible experience the food was not good at all. Big Disappointment!!! Charged full price even though they did not have most of the food with tip included. Got there 4:30 and left almost 8. There is more to say but, at this point will never go back or recommend.

The food was amazing. I had the chicken and waffles which was great. I like the fact that it wasn't chicken tenders and real chicken pieces. I saw the smothered pork chops after I ordered and I'm getting that next time.

I’ve no idea why this restaurant is popular 😅
The food itself is just okay but the Mac and cheese was horrible ( wasted my 10 dollars for this frozen trash)
