Very friendly service with an authentic southern feel to the place. Pulled pork sandwich was excellent but next time I'd tell them go easy on BBQ sauce. Killer fries! 🐖
Russell ZackOctober 8, 2015You'd think that a place couldn't have great pizza and barbq but Ruthies has done it. Affordable prices and throw in some great blues music, you've got a must visit in the area.
Pretty good pizza and great BBQ, this place has a great southern feeling to it and always have some good old southern tunes playing.
The mac and cheese is insane. I've only had take out but loved everything we've tried.
Diana MarksJanuary 1, 2012Great place to go to for music when they have live bands playing outside in the patio area..Food is great also...- Diana MarksSeptember 13, 2010Great place..definalty try either the pulled chicken (awesome) or the burger both are great..great place also to sit outside and listen to music..especially on a beautiful night.
Chris LOctober 17, 2014Cheerful service, filling ribs, and a decent blues soundtrack make for a fun stop on too-lazy-to-cook nights.
Leo PaganJune 15, 2014great location. great tunes and some legit bbq but gotta say service was super unfriendly and pretty horrendous
Steve MaioMarch 9, 2013Get the Max's pizza and add a double order of Texas Smoked Sausage to it - tell em not to slump on that sausage!!!
bbq here is great, as is the pizza. We've heard great music here, but remember that since it's in a residential area, music ends earlier then you'd expect.
Danielle GentileAugust 7, 2010Great beef brisket sandwich. The corn salad could use some work (less mesquite). Wonderful place to sit outside and listen to music. If you BYOB remember an opener.
Nikki JonesAugust 25, 2012Warm walnut goat cheese salad is delightful. And Texas pizza has some serious kick and is very tasty!
Try the pulled pork platter - My go-to for BBQ in North Jersey!! This is a sandwich I crave regularly!!
It's pretty nuts that somehow the BBQ and pizza are BOTH excellent.
Ruthie's look like a ordinary corner pizza place but what's really good here is the barbeque. Pulled pork, ribs, chicken and blues.
Not a place to sit and eat. The food is alright - pizza is overpriced.

"The pizza is one of the best in Montclair. the mushroom and pepperoni is amazing. They are also very generous on the toping!"
