Ruth’s Story

She pledged to treat every restaurant guest just as she would a guest in her home. Her idea was simple – serve generous portions of perfectly prepared steaks in an inviting atmosphere. Her instincts served her and her guests well.Today, more than 45 years later, we still broil your steak according to Ruth’s original recipe – in 1800 degree ovens designed by Ruth herself. And, we bring each selection to your table sizzling so every bite is hot and delicious.
