Ruthie’s Deli & Cafe

Went for lunch, expecting great things and was disappointed. Ordered hot sandwiches and thought the service was exceptionally slow as we were the only people in the restaurant. Sandwiches were okay. My husband’s rebel was dry and my bulgogi was not as good as the ones l have gotten elsewhere. Meh.

I wanted to try Ruthie’s from the reviews I have seen on Unilocal!I am glad I checked it out! I tried the Garden Burger. It was one of the better vegetarian burgers I have had!
One thing I would like to suggest for any customers (during the winter months) is to bring a jacket that you can take off. I was there from 11am to about 1pm and the sun made it very warm inside. Try this great local place, you won’t regret it!

Good breakfast and lunch. Never tried the sweets but they look good. Had an egg sandwich and a Rueben. Both were good. The lady’s that own the place ads real nice and the place is super clean. Good little hidden gem in Clarksville. Small but cozy and has an outside sitting area. Will be back for sure.

I found this place by searching for nearby restaurants on Unilocal.I’m surprised I’ve never heard of or seen this place because it’s only about a 3 minute drive! It’s located in a small little plaza so I can see how you can easily miss it. I ordered a Reuben and a Bulgogi sandwich. The Reuben was subpar; I didn’t enjoy it. I’m not sure how many slices of meat there were… Maybe one or two? But they were too thin that I felt like I was only eating the bread. Onto the Bulgogi sandwich — oh my goodness. So flavorful and tasty, I fell in love in just one bite. I will definitely be back for this.

Ordered a vanilla latte and bulgogi sandwich. Latte was perfect! I didn’t need to add anything and the sandwich was delicious! It’s a cute, quaint deli with nice seating outside.

Top marks for this hidden gem! Haven’t been disappointed by anything there. Pro-​tip — get the bulgogi sandwich.

Bulgogi sandwich is amazing! Even the pickiest little 3 year old enjoys her bulgogi sandwich (minus the fixings) and tries to take mine. We also tried the Reuben which is delicious as well. Smoothies are refreshing (I enjoyed the blueberry pomegranate while the husband liked mango). Don’t forget to get ice cream on the way out. Strawberry is the one to get – creamy sweet with real strawberries, yum!
I’ve had their catering service and liked all the different types of cold sandwiches offered. It’s the excellent choices in bread selection and combo of ingredients that makes the flavors stand out. (Chicken and tuna salad on croissant with a grape in between for a sweet kick). And I’m astonished at how fresh and tasty the fruit salad was. I didn’t mind (actually I was really glad) there were lots of leftovers. Just thinking back to it makes me crave it now.
Side note: They have a pretty patio area to the side of the building for outside dining. Great for small events like bridal or baby shower.

This is a cute café with a normal sandwich/​wrap/​salad menu with some cool stuff sprinkled in. I ordered the Bulgogi Egg & Cheese and it was fantastic! This was certainly a different take on Bulgogi. The café was pretty busy and while they put the wrong cheese on my sandwich they quickly fixed it. The tea smoothie was really tasty. They also carry some stellar baked goods. The almond pretzel can not be missed. I got mine dipped in chocolate mmm! Overall I liked this place and like how they have an outside eating garden area!

the bulgogi sandwich is so good. it comes with a pickle and a bag of utz chips.
the bulgogi and the lettuce, tomato, mayo, and a little banana peppers taste so good together especially on the ciabatta bread. the flavors of everything worked so well together!
the owner is very friendly
there are a lot of sandwiches to eat. they have a new sandwich called bulgogi steak and cheese so i want to go back and try it again! everything seemed fresh and i cannot wait to go again!
plenty of parking available.

Cute café near home. Love the «best tuna sandwich ever.» Definitely give it a try! Great service as well.

This place has the distinction of being the first place we ate in Maryland after relocating here last month. As far as first places go, it was great. We ordered sandwiches to go, since we were still unpacking.
The food was tasty and fresh. My wife, who went to pick it up, said the staff was very friendly and that it was the type of place where she’d like to become a regular.
They are apparently known for their chicken salad sandwich, which we didn’t order. But I did have a tuna salad sandwich on wheat bread, which was excellent. I’m looking forward to trying it out for coffee some morning when I’m up that direction.

Cute atmosphere, good sandwich, & nice staff. I love the chicken salad, both on cibatta bread & in by itself. Another favorite thing that I can get locally is their healthy life kale smoothie. One of the most delicious smoothies, & you watch them make it behind the counter. Fresh ingredients, & just yummy. Sometimes can take a little while if the order is large, but staff is always nice & accommodating. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quick & healthy bite. Now that I think about it, I could totally go for a kale smoothie now! See you soon ruthies :)

I found this place by looking for places to eat on Unilocal.This place stood out for one reason only: my name! I knew this place was a must to check out someday, so we were able to stop by Wednesday afternoon.
Three of us ordered the following sandwiches:
–Bulgogi sandwich (very good; not made with typical bulgogi meat but probably prepared the same way you would prepare bulgogi.)
–Reuben sandwich (also good)
–Veggie Lox bagel sandwich (also very good).
Out of the three, bulgogi and veggie lox stood out the most because of the flavors. Bulgogi had a sweet flavor, whereas veggie lox was very fresh (the vegetables themselves were fresh and crunchy). Sandwiches all came with one pickle and a bag of chips.
It’s a nice place to sit and eat, while enjoying a book. My group felt kinda bad because we were a little loud during our discussions, but thank goodness no one minded too much.
I can’t wait to come back and try their wraps, paninis, and more of their sandwiches. Will come back and update because I’m almost positive this will become a regular place for me to visit.

We had ruthie’s café cater our group’s luncheon/​meeting. They did an excellent job. Great food and reasonable prices.

Happened to be in Clarksville at lunch time. Dining options are limited. I didn’t want to eat at a chain burger place. I love supporting local businesses and found this place on Unilocal.
Good egg salad sandwich. Chips were included. I added a Snapple and paid less than $ 8 for lunch. I would have paid similar for a burger meal deal down the road.
Clean and cozy. Jazz music playing in the background. Two nice women running the place. Quiet chatter of other customers. A nice stop on a cold day.
I’ll stop by here the next time I’m on the area.

My buddy and I had breakfast sandwiches and coffee just after opening on a Friday. The food was fine and the coffee good. The prices are reasonable with a much nicer atmosphere then you get in many similar businesses. The owners are thoughtful. It’s a good place to go for quiet and they have free internet access. I’ll go here over fast food or the local bagel shop. BTW if you have kids this is the ice cream place for you!
I’ve had lunch here and the classic club is very good.

I came here for my big’s bridal shower. It was so cute and homey. The bridal shower was held outside and it was a beautiful layout. I felt like this café was perfect for a bridal shower! Super cute :)

I found this place using Unilocal and decided to try it out for breakfast this morning. I had the morning glory sandwich and the kale juice. The Morning Glory was wonderful. The sauce was delicious. I would get it every day if it wouldn’t effect my waistline. I will be going back to check out other sandwiches.

Awesome food here! All fresh ingredients you can’t get at just any deli. Food is homemade with love! Coffee is amazing too. Customer service is excellent. Everyone is all smiles here:) Try the bulgolgi sandwich and chix salad. Love this place!

This adorable café (formerly known as Jostin’s Café) has become a staple for us. We live in Columbia, MD and make a point to come out to Ruthie’s at least weekly for their delicious sandwiches, desserts and coffee!
I’m originally from Buffalo, NY, and most sandwich/​sub shops can’t hold a candle to food from home. Ruthie’s however bypasses all other local establishments! Their staples (turkey, ham and cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad) are always fresh. The bread is warm, and the vegetables crisp and delicious. Utz chips are served alongside.
In addition to standard sandwiches, Ruthie’s also offers chicken curry (as a sandwich or over greens) and Bulgogi Korean Beef, which is absolutely to die for! Each entrée has no equal in the area, and will certainly leave you full and satisfied.
Ruthie’s desserts are delicious as well. We’ve shared the lemon square and almond pretzel; both fresh and scrumptious. The lattes I’ve had at Ruthie’s surpass most any others I’ve had in the area… the perfect combination of espresso and rich flavors.
The inner café is quaint, adorably decorated, and seating is always available. Outdoor seating in a garden-​area between buildings is also accessible, and most enjoyable on a warm day. I’ve never had any issue with WiFi at Ruthie’s, or have found their «talking behind the counter» to be anywhere near a disturbance. On the contrary, the owners have always been polite and friendly with their customers. I can’t see why anyone would want to be in a restaurant with stoic and silent staff…
Ruthie’s is a gem in Clarksville, and is certainly worth the drive if you’re not from the area!
