Restaurants near Hamlet Shopping Center

Once again, Ruthie's All-Day made a terrific impression on our out-of-town guests - who wish they had a similar restaurant in their own neighborhood. Our group of four sampled regular menu favorites (smoked duck, roast chicken, healthy grain salad with grilled salmon) as well as one of the daily specials - grilled rockfish. We encouraged our guests to save room for dessert, and they enjoyed the campfire cookies, in-house ice cream and butterscotch pudding. Our friends now wish they lived in South Arlington!

I absolutely loved the food! The French toast and chilaquiles are both fantastic choices that never disappoint. On top of that, the service was wonderful too!

Excellent as always, this is where we take our out of town guests.

The paintings that decorate this restaurant are interesting - but what blew me away was the artist painting real time in the entrance way - wow! My friend and I had the bottomless brunch and I really enjoyed being able to order any number of small plates to share - I think we tried 8 different dishes. All were good but I especially liked the Dan Dan noodles, Brussels spouts and monkey bread. We were too full to try the taco bar or waffle bar but they had a constant crowd. Service was spot on - attentive but without making us feel like we were being rushed. A great experience.

Clyde's is always good. Our go-to place. They changed the recipe of the shrimp and grits and that was disappointing. Everything else was tasty.
