Ruth's Chris Steak House History
Ruth Fertel, purchased a restaurant called Chris Steak House in May of 1965 in New Orleans. A few years later a kitchen fire decimated the Chris Steak House restaurant forcing Ruth to relocate. Unable to use the Chris Steak House name, Ruth with a mischievous smile added her own name to the sign, making it “Ruth’s Chris Steak House.”
US Prime Steak Cuts
Beef is graded into 3 categories including Select, Choice, and Prime with the latter being the highest quality. When grading meat, the meat industry looks at 2 main things: quality grades for tenderness, juiciness and flavor; and yield grades for the amount of usable lean meat on the carcass.

For those that are Ruth's Chris Steak House regulars, one of the main attractions to Ruth's Chris beyond great steak, is their expert waiter staff who not only know steaks but seafood and a vast array of wines.

Ruth’s Chris’ menu changes with the seasons and can often feature such items as swordfish & barbecued shrimp, a signature lobster bisque and fresh blue point oysters from Long Island.
