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.

    Food was amazing and fast. Service was top tier! We had lunch. I had chowder soup to start, followed by turkey sandwich with a side of honey glazed carrots. My husband had the chicken parmigiana. We would definitely eat there again.

    Had a fantastic experience at the Hamilton front bar! Roman was attentive, engaging, and genuinely made the experience that much better. Great service, great conversation, and an overall welcoming atmosphere. It’s always nice when someone goes beyond simply taking your order and makes you feel welcomed and taken care of. Roman definitely delivered. Ask for him when you visit!
