Ruthie's All-Day

$$

A modern take on Southern dining, Ruthie’s offers meat-and-three (or two), meaning diners pick a meat dish and their choice of sides. Most of the meats—running from brisket to salmon to strip loin—are prepared on a smoker or wood grill, while the crisp-topped macaroni and cheese is the most popular side. But be sure to read the menu, because options change seasonally. The herbs are grown at the restaurant’s community garden plot. The green-and-white diner-style interior is a little sterile; the patio is the perfect place to be on a pleasant day.
