Universal Ruth Restaurant and bakery

Universal Ruth Restaurant and bakery

Jerk chicken and fried chicken both pull strong mentions, and at $17 out the door for a full plate with sweet plantains and a soursop shake, the prices are hard to argue with. The open kitchen is all new equipment, and the menu runs deep enough that regulars are still working through it. Late-night hours make this Kalamazoo Ave spot worth knowing.
