WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS A YESSSS. In live out of town in a place that has zero soul food, when I was searching for places to eat in Birmingham during my work trip this caught my eye immediately.! Got two plates and when I tell you it’s just as good as I imagined. I can’t get home cooking like this at home. 10/10 recommend.! I’ll be back tomorrow 😂

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Upon walking in we were greeted. The 1st server was not happy to be opened. I told him what meat I wanted and he did not speak and looked angry. We went on to get the vegetables and the ladies were more pleasing. We asked if we wanted drinks, we asked what do you have. When she said Kool Aid, we asked what flavor, that's when the attitudes begin. Birmingham have plenty of soul food joints. Ruth Cafe needs better service for this to be their grand opening. People don't know anything about your restaurant. It's up to the owner to make sure you have pleasant workers who wants to be there and give the consumer answers with a smile.

The food tasted great and the portion sizes are very good. Some of the servers were abrasive and dismissive. However a woman who said she was the aunt of the owner is often there and she is super professional and very friendly. Im back in Texas now. If im ever in birmimgham al again i will certainly stop by.
