"Ruth's Chris Steak House" is such a tongue-twister that one restaurant critic suggested it be used as a sobriety test: anyone who could say that name three times certainly couldn't be intoxicated. The restaurant Ruth Fertel bought in 1965 was named "Chris Steak House," and she acquired the right to use that name as long as the restaurant remained in the original location. But after a fire forced her to move, she needed a new name. Adding her name to the logo seemed the simplest solution and "Ruth's Chris Steak House" was born. It has proven to be effective as people remember the name because it's so unusual. It has also had an additional benefit. . . people stopped calling her Chris.

Wednesdays-Sundays 10:30pm-2:00am.

For nearly forty years, Ruth's Chris Steak House flourished under the inspired vision and dedicated leadership of its founder, Ruth Fertel. Beginning with her first modest restaurant in New Orleans in 1965, Ruth dreamed of improving her community and serving the public. She envisioned a comfortable, inviting oasis that served outstanding food and treated each of its patrons as an honored guest.
