"Grandad" Elijah Bass would often chastise Carl for staying in the kitchen and chase him out of the house. But Carl always found his way back to his grandmother's side. It I would never listen to that chastisement, therefore enabling me to deepen my love for the southern culinary experience. As the years would go by, Hound myself perfecting the art of canning and freezing fruits and vegetables, as well as converting many fruits into jellies, jams, and preserves, under the continued direction of my grandmother, Amy Ruth.

It was that, continuous love, nurturing, and direction that gave me the inspiration to build and name the most superior and authentic southern cuisine restaurant after my grand-mother, Amy Ruth Moore Bass.

It is with the same love that Carl S. Redding, his mom Inez Bass & Family, and the Amy Ruth staff welcomes each one of our valued patrons to Amy Ruth's Home-Style Southern Cuisine Restaurant!
