Amy Ruth's
New York, NY
Amy Ruth's has been serving soul food on West 116th Street in Harlem for years, and is named for Amy Ruth Moore Bass, the founder's grandmother.
The menu is Southern comfort cooking done at volume: fried chicken and waffles, smothered turkey wings, baked macaroni and cheese, candied yams. Dishes on the menu are named after regular guests and public figures, which is a Harlem institution's way of keeping a guest list.
The restaurant does a heavy takeout and catering trade alongside dine-in service.
