What you should know about Ruth's Chris Steak House.
Ruth's Chris Steak House is best known for originating in 1965 when Ruth Fertel, a single mother of two, purchased the struggling Chris Steak House in New Orleans, Louisiana, despite having no previous restaurant experience, financing the acquisition with a $22,000 loan secured against her home. After a 1976 kitchen fire forced the restaurant to relocate, Fertel retained the original character by naming the new restaurant Ruth's Chris Steak House, creating one of the hospitality industry's most recognizable brands while pioneering the signature practice of serving USDA Prime steaks on 500-degree plates finished with butter to keep every steak sizzling throughout the meal. The company expanded through franchising during the 1970s, became publicly traded in 2005, merged with Mitchells & Butlers international operations before later joining Darden Restaurants through a $715 million acquisition completed in 2023, and today operates more than 150 locations across the United States and internationally. Signature preparations including the Porterhouse for Two, Bone-In New York Strip, Petite Filet, Tomahawk Ribeye, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Sizzling Crab Cakes, Sweet Potato Casserole, and Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce, together with repeated Wine Spectator Award of Excellence recognition, USDA Prime beef, and Ruth Fertel's enduring hospitality philosophy, have established Ruth's Chris Steak House among America's defining fine dining institutions.
Deeply marbled USDA Prime beef develops a richly caramelized crust beneath intense infrared broiling before clarified butter, cracked black pepper, and the signature 500-degree plate preserve remarkable flavor and temperature from the first bite to the last. Creamy lobster macaroni and cheese, sizzling crab cakes, buttery mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, fresh seafood, carefully selected Napa Valley wines, and house-made desserts broaden the progression through contrasting aromas and textures while allowing exceptional beef to remain the unmistakable centerpiece. Warm bread, handcrafted cocktails, attentive tableside service, and timeless steakhouse accompaniments complete a meal where premium ingredients, disciplined preparation, and consistent execution remain central to the experience. Together, the broiler, wine program, and classic American steakhouse tradition express a culinary character defined by exceptional beef, technical precision, and an enduring respect for hospitality.
