    Chai!
    Addie F.

    Beautiful decor and a bright, lively atmosphere. I had a chai and it was pleasant. I'm sure I spoke with every server on duty because they were so friendly and checking on us and asking how we were doing. Love their mission to support a local school with all proceeds and how it aligns with the Unbound Library, a community library, which is the pop up event we attended there. We will be back to visit and dine again!

    Jerk Chicken Sandwich

    When it comes to a quick sandwich spot you really can't get any better than this. The staff and ambiance were both excellent as well. We ordered two sandwiches that had perfectly crispy bread, great fillings and flavorful sauces. I mean when you put a bunch of well seasoned proteins between two slices of bread with a bunch of cheese, you can't end up with anything that isn't delicious. What keeps this from a 5 is that it is not anything unique. Regardless, they make great sandwiches and I will definitely be back to try more of them Shoutout to Zo for explaining what we ordered and for being the creator of the monthly Jerk Chicken sandwich

    Ruthie's Cafe is one of those places that makes you feel good the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, and the staff are genuinely friendly. The food is excellent especially the grilled cheese sandwiches, which are easily some of the best in Dallas. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared, and the menu has great options for breakfast and lunch.

    So this WAS a combo meal. Grilled chicken sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. To the right. Hot tomato soup with bits of tomato and onion.

    Cloudy day. So where do I head? Straight to Ruthie's for a warm rich and thicc tomato soup with bits of tomato and onion. Only to be partnered with a grilled chicken sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. Imagine a golden crust. Don't forget the unlimited soda refills. $14. *Inconceivable*

    The BEST grilled sandwiches in South Dallas. And OMG! The tomatoes basil soup is dangerously delicious with just a small hint of something spicy. Hat's off to the chef, Zo!

    Where Comfort Meets Conscious Eating TL;DR: A cozy café serving up health-conscious breakfast sandwiches on their legendary bread--flavorful, satisfying, and surprisingly affordable. Healthy breakfast spots can be hit or miss. Too often, you're left with something that tastes like regret wrapped in whole wheat. But Ruthie's Café? They've cracked the code. Their chicken sausage, scrambled egg, and cheese sandwich--stacked on that famous bread from their food truck days--is proof that healthy can still mean deliciously melty. Of course, I had to revisit an old flame: the grilled cheese that first made me fall for Ruthie's back when they were slinging sandwiches at Klyde Warren Park. Spoiler alert: it's still as gooey and glorious as ever. The space itself? Minimalist, but in a welcoming way--high ceilings, big glass windows, and a "come hang out" kind of vibe. Whether you're settling into the laptop-friendly corner or hosting a group in the conference room, there's a spot that feels just right. The Unexpected Perk The prices. Somehow, they're just as reasonable--if not better--than when they were a food truck. I randomly wandered in while running errands and now have their brisket cheese sandwich bookmarked for my next visit. The Flipside The coffee? Let's just say it exists. Not terrible, but definitely not the star of the show. Think more "standard drip" than "carefully curated roast." Basically, it's the sidekick to the cheese sandwich, not the main act. Pro Tips * Skip the street parking stress--there's a lot in the back. * The patio is prime real estate for overcast days or when you want to feel fancy eating a cheese sandwich outdoors. * If you're planning a group gathering, the conference room seems reservable. * Breakfast is served all day! Don't let the TV screens showing lunch options fool you--grab a laminated menu at the counter for the real deal. * The coffee is molten when served. Give it a minute unless you enjoy burning your taste buds off. Final Thoughts Ruthie's Café nails the trifecta: solid food, fair prices, and thoughtful little details (like eco-friendly utensils). Whether you're here for the bread, the cheese, or just the easygoing vibe, it's the kind of place you'll want in your regular rotation. Because life's too short for bad bread--or forgettable cheese sandwiches.

    Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich

    Zo, the chef, at Ruthie's made my sausage, egg and cheese sandwich to perfection. He came out and make sure of the type of cheese I wanted as well as wanting to see if my sausage was well done.

    RUN! Do not walk to Ruthie's and order the Power Bowl! OMG! Chef Dre made the fluffiest eggs I've ever had! So good!

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.
