The Ruth's Chris Steak House Experience

Ruth's Chis is not your typical Steak House by anyone's standards-especially Ruth's. Her wit and passion for living, combined with the basic principle to consistently serve the finest, sizzling USDA Prime steak available, helped create a truly unique dining experience. Since 1965, each of our restaurants welcomes and nourishes guests with a distinctive style of hospitality firmly rooted in the values of our founder, Ruth Fertel.
