    We’ve been searching for good Caribbean food in the area and had no idea this gem was here! The inside is stunning—modern yet cozy with a luxurious touch. The owner herself greeted us at the door with such warmth, letting us choose any seat, and her energy made the whole experience even better. She was welcoming, friendly, and kept us entertained the entire time. I ordered the oxtail with rice and beans plus sweet potato, along with a tamarind drink—and wow, everything was incredible! The oxtail was so tender it literally fell off the bone 🤤. My husband went with the jerk salmon, and let’s just say he couldn’t stop eating. He was practically licking the plate clean!

    We came here looking for some authentic Caribbean food and that is exactly what we found in this hidden gem. Ruthie was extremely gracious and welcoming: The ambience inside of rhe restaurant is clean, refined and luxurious. The food is amazing! I had the jerk salmon and my wife had the oxtails. Both dishes were 10/10. I love this place, I will definitely be back. If you like authentic carribean soul food and an amazing atmosphere then come to Ruthie’s and get a little slice of heaven. ❤️🙏🏽❤️🔥

    We had a delicious and fun meal! Ruth served us herself and made us feel at home. The jerk chicken melted our faces in the best possible way, and those fried plantains still have me drooling the next day. The restaurant is hiding in plain sight on a drab corner but go inside for a charming, welcoming atmosphere and some great food!
