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...

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

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.
