The buttery-yellow walls, high ceiling with its warm wood-toned panels and sparkling lighting set off African-American artwork around the room. Word-of-mouth buzz keeps Amy Ruth's consistently crowded. On weekends, the after-church crowd is here; during the week, people are in and out from breakfast through dinner. Chicken and waffles, smothered chicken, baked Virginia ham, salmon cakes, chicken livers, fried fish, pancakes--it's all inexpensive, freshly prepared and fabulous. Amy Ruth's is the kind of homey, unpretentious place you'll want to come back to--soon.

SOUTHERN FLAVOR IN UPTOWN HARLEM
By VLENLOU on 10/04/2009
I was raised on southern ways and southern food - However I am a Northerner by choice! I know good southern food when I taste it and AMY RUTH'S has it "hands down"! The food is freshly prepared - NOT out the can. The "waffle & whiting" is my favorite! I have never been disappointed with my meal and I have been eating at AMY RUTH'S for almost 10 years. My Mama lives in Savannah and when she visits me in NYC, AMY RUTH'S is the first place she wants to go! I can't rave enough about the good comfort food you will find at this place. The staff are always so cordial and welcoming...

Im sorry to say but the movie was a different version of 'The Ring'. It would of been better if it had a different story line. The previews were better than the movie itself! In my opinion Fantastic Four shouldve got a higher rating than Dark Water. I was reallly dissapointed.
