Ok - you DO have to stand in line, but the food is worth the wait (well, I'm not sure it worth waiting 45+ minutes for, though). The chicken is great - moist and tasty. Waffles are great, too. Service - meh....

Prices are in line with Manhattan restaurants, at about $20 for a meal. But you'll get more food on your plate here than many places. Traditional soul food menu includes fried chicken and collard greens. So good. Two dining rooms ensures an available table most of the time.

In New York on business, visited Amy's with a local friend. Watched baseball and ate excellent food, service was friendly and had great local beer.

Was considering Amy Ruth’s or another soul food restaurant. Glad we decided on Amy Ruth’s. Just a few steps from the Subway. The restaurant itself is not fancy and the service was lacking a bit when we arrived. We were not greeted and when my husband asked the lady at the register if we should seat ourselves, she didn’t answer. A man eventually came and seated us; service picked up from there.
My husbands short ribs were tender and tasty as were his sweet potatoes and per him the greens were good. My 5 year old and I shared
the honey chicken, mac and cheese and cabbage. It was really delicious and the chicken was seasoned and crunchy. I could’ve done for the chicken without the honey but ordered because it was different. (Even with the honey it was good). I also had the half tea/half lemonade which was good and sweet. If you’re looking for good food and don’t need fancy modern decor then this is the place for you.
