The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

    This is our 2nd year trying the Christmas Buffet..all I can say is "we are another a happy couple (my husband and me). " Founding Farmers did not disappoint. The food is outstanding!!! Over 50 options to choose from. My one suggestions is make available "well done" red meat options. Everyone does not like to see blood draining from their food.

    Had a really good first experience taking my family to this restaurant. Our waitress was wonderful. She kept us informed of everything I feel that we needed to be informed of. The food was in good portions, everything was well cooked, well plated, and served perfectly. Will definitely be back! Thank you to the falls and all of the staff

    The food was excellent and the service was great. Ruthies is very noisy making it somewhat hard to hear the server and talk at the table. It is still a wonderful restaurant and one of my favorites in Arlington.
