Born from a single New Orleans restaurant that Ruth Fertel bought in 1965 for $22,000, the Ruth’s Chris Steak House chain has made it to the top of every steak lover’s list. Aged prime Midwestern beef is broiled to your liking and served on a heated plate, sizzling in butter; even healthier alternatives like chicken arrive at your table drenched in the savory substance. Sides like creamed spinach and fresh asparagus with hollandaise are not to be missed and are the perfect companion to any entrée. Choose from seven different preparations of spuds, from a one-pound baked potato with everything to au gratin potatoes with cream sauce and topped with cheese.
