Amy Ruth's is big news in Harlem—a serious new contender in the hotly debated category of best place to go for Southern Style Cooking. Amy Ruth was proprietor Carl Redding's grandmother and inspiration, and this place is a fine tribute to her culinary skill. - CitySearch - suggest change

Out of this world...Just Uptown
What to eat? Everything and anything on the menu. That is the toughest decision to make. They should have a sampler dish, some of everything on your plate. One thing is better than the next.    [23 Apr 2003 12:28:29]

Soul Food's Finest
The first time I went to Amy Ruth's was blown away by how close the food came to perfection. Every time I go back I invite someone new. I'm spreading the word about the BEST soul food place in NY for the BEST prices.    [22 Nov 2003 01:30:29]

Delicious.
Great southern cooking. If you're looking for soulfood then amy ruth's is the place. 24 hour weekend hours is the best after that nice night out either with your significant other and/or friends! Every time I'm in the city we eat there....I live in jersey! So that's about 2 to 3 times a month. A place where you get your money worth! Thanks....    [03 Aug 2005 15:56:51]
