Tried Ruthie's for the 1st time yesterday. I'd read many good reviews (understandably) but had never tried it. What a great find! It is light and airy. The service is friendly and efficient. The menu is interesting with a good variety. My salad was delicious and so large that I took half of it home for another meal as I saw others doing as well. My husband's barbeque was equally delicious. We will definitely be repeat customers!

I found Ruthie's All Day on a Google search close to where I was staying while in town. This place does not disappoint!! My only regret was not being able to try EVERYTHING!! Our server was definitely knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations! Between the three of us we tried, the big bad brisket sandwich, the fried chicken Cobb salad, the shrimp and jalapeño hush puppies, and the fried chicken sandwich. The brisket was incredible! Great smoke ring, falling apart tender, incredible flavor!! The fries were plentiful and well seasoned and cooked! The Cobb salad was amazing!! I loved the deviled eggs in place of the hard boiled egg. The salad was beautifully presented and there was enough for 2 or 3 people. The hush puppies were hot, fresh, and moist!! This is my new go to in the Arlington area!! Run, don't walk to Ruthie's All Day!!

There’s a lot of free parking by the restaurant but it’s still hard to find parking. Be patient. I would also recommend making reservations because this place remained busy the entire time my wife and I were there. Service was great in a place that’s bustling. The atmosphere is very casual and can get loud since it was full and everyone talking. The food was great, and in the perfect portions. My wife and I started off with deviled eggs and skillet cornbread. I ordered the brisket Bennie and my wife had the brisket hash.

Had an excellent meal and service. Brought out of town foodies and they were impressed by the appetizers (corn bread and deviled eggs) and main dishes (chicken, salad, brisket, and salmon. Easy to make a reservation by just calling, but there the place was full for Friday dinner. Looking forward to going back.

Ruthie's is always a hit! Beautiful, sunlit restaurant with an amazing menu no matter what meal you're having. Their entrees, bbq meat, brunch, cocktails, are all delicious and the service is great. Parking is limited but plenty of street space nearby usually.

I drove past this place and randomly decided to stop. The food was outstanding. I started with the deviled eggs, which were smooth and creamy and perfectly seasoned. For the main course, I had brisket with potato salad, pinto beans, and a biscuit. OMG, that brisket was fall apart tender. The potato salad was great too. Loved the dill! It was alot of food so I took plenty home to enjoy all over again.Will definitely be back!

Our friend made a reservation so we attended for brunch and I was absolutely blown away. We started with mimosas, apple donuts and devilled eggs and all were delicious. Everyone was very happy with their entrees and my brisket has was to die for and very unique. Our server did a wonderful job taking care of our large party and our glasses were never empty. I would definitely go back and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some good food and different menu options.

Everything was so clean, the staff very attentive. The food was simple yet delicious and rich. Because one day is not enough, ww returned and this time we had in house smoked brisket, with poached eggs an hollandaise on cornbread, smoked sausage, scrambled eggs and scratch biscuits. Pancakes with cinnamon apple. If coming on weekend, reservations are strongly recommended
