Fare
The restaurant's signature is serving USDA prime steaks that are seared at 1800° Fahrenheit (982.2 °C) and served on ceramic plates heated to 500° Fahrenheit (260.0 °C). Half an ounce (1 Tbsp) of butter is added just before the plates leave the kitchen in order to create the signature 'sizzle'. In addition to steaks, the restaurant also serves entrees of chicken, lamb, fish and shellfish.
Portions generally are large enough to serve two or more diners. Family style side dishes include au gratin potatoes, topped with a bechamel sauce and Cheddar cheese. Also available are dessert selections, with the restaurant's signature creme brulee being a staple item throughout the chain.
All locations offer smaller, separate rooms for private dining as well as a gift card program. The dress code is usually a range from business/dressy to business casual.
In early 2010 Ruth's Chris introduced their "Ruth's Classics" menu of prix fixe meals where guests choose from 3 set categories; starter, entree and side.
