Ruth's Chris Steak House

In 1965, Ruth Fertel, a single mom looking for an opportunity, saw a steak house for sale in the classifieds. She didn't know much about restaurants or steak, but she took a chance and mortgaged her home to buy Chris Steak House. Ruth mastered all the ins and outs herself, from butchering and broiling steak perfectly to serving guests. From the opening day, the special sizzle she created was a huge local success. And 51 years later, that tradition continues.
 
Today, New Orleans residents and visitors still receive the best steak house experience at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in New Orleans, now located at 525 Fulton Street at the foot of the Harrah’s Hotel and managed by Samuel Smith, GM. The newly remodeled restaurant features two exquisitely redesigned bars and an expanded patio perfect for fall dining with new furniture, TVs, and a beautiful fire pit. Ruth’s Chris Steak House’s signature 500° sizzling plates, handcrafted cocktails, and award-winning wine list are the perfect pairing for any occasion.
