This week’s ‘pic of the week’ is from Ruthie’s Restaurant.

Clockwise from top: golden brown to perfection, perfectly seasoned fried whiting and fried shrimp; moist, scrumptious cornbread; savory macaroni and cheese.

Ruthie’s recipes are based on founder/mother, Ms. Ruth West’s tried and true recipes, learned during her childhood in Bayboro, North Carolina. Her powerhouse legacy remains.

Menu items at Ruthie’s include many soul food classics, including candied yams, collard greens, macaroni and cheese and southern fried chicken. Check out the menu for a full range of delicious lunch and dinner options, including salads, soft drinks, and desserts.

Stop in Wednesday through Sunday for lunch or dinner.

Ruthie’s is located at 560 Myrtle Avenue between Emerson and Classon, and can be reached at 718.399.2400.
