"You go to Amy Ruth’s for one main reason: the fried chicken. Sure, the cornbread is free and sides are always a good idea, but the chicken steals the show. We like to order The Rev. Al Sharpton (chicken and waffles), or The President Barack Obama, with fried chicken, collard greens, and mashed potatoes. It’s a casual spot, with paintings of Black leaders on the walls, and it’s larger than some of the other soul food standards in the area, so come here with a big group for brunch or dinner." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
