"The family-friendly spot tucked away in suburban Arlington guarantees all-day plates of smoked brisket, sticky spare ribs and wood-grilled salmon from its James Beard-nominated chef and owner Matt Hill. Thanks to the “meat and two/three” format, diners can also load up on sides of creamy dill potato salad, grits, crispy Brussels sprouts, pulled pork pinto beans, and, of course, mac and cheese. In addition to a spacious indoor venue and patio, Ruthie’s All Day also offers takeout and delivery." - Tierney Plumb
