Labor Day has a way of signaling that the carefree summer days are winding down.

The backyard barbecues, beach weekends and long evenings spent outdoors start to morph into busy schedules, early mornings and a serious back-to-business feeling. 

But just because summer is almost behind us doesn’t mean the fun is over. Ruth’s Chris restaurants are open on Labor Day (along with every other holiday throughout the year) for you to enjoy an end-of-the-summer meal with friends or loved ones. Drop in during Happy Hour to unwind with a sip of your favorite drink or enjoy a full meal in the dining room. Let us help you kick off the Fall season at our world-class steakhouse.

Curated Drinks Menu

An exquisite steak dinner is often paired with an excellent glass of wine. At Ruth’s Chris, we carefully curate our wine list to complement your meal. The list features wines by the glass as well as sommelier selections from exceptional vineyards. From Napa Valley in California to the Bordeaux region of France, and Castilla y Leon in Spain, every bottle of wine is chosen with care by experts at Ruth’s Chris. 

For those who want to say goodbye to the summer with a cocktail, you’ll find plenty of fun, seasonal options. Try the Mimosa Sunset or a Timeless Martini for a touch of Hollywood. Or go with classic crowd favorites such as the Aperol Fizz or the Spicy Margarita. 

Steaks and Specialty Entrees

This Labor Day, savor some of the world’s best steaks at Ruth’s Chris restaurants. Every USDA Prime cut is custom-aged and cooked to perfection. Ruth’s Chris will bring the steak to your choice of temperature by broiling it at 1,800 degrees. The cut is then served in butter on a sizzling 500-degree plate. From a bold New York Strip to our most tender filets, every steak arrives at your table exactly as you like it. 

If you’re not in the mood for steak this Labor Day weekend, you’re in luck, because our menu includes specialty entrees that range from fresh seafood to our famous stuffed chicken breast, roasted with garlic herb cheese and finished with lemon butter. 

Labor Day Weekend Happy Hour

If you can’t join us for dinner, Happy Hour is a great way to meet new people or toast to the long weekend with colleagues or friends. Join us for Happy Hour daily at Ruth’s Chris Steak House from 4-6:30 p.m. Guests can gather in the Bar and Lounge Area for a taste of featured red and white wines starting at $9.95/glass. You can also grab a cold domestic beer for $4.95 or choose from a selection of premium house spirits and refreshing non-alcoholic mixers. 

Select food options are also available during Happy Hour, or as we fondly call it, Ruth’s Hour at the Bar. Check out tasty appetizers such as the seared Ahi Tuna and spicy shrimp. For entrees, you can opt for hearty fares like lamb lollipop chops or the Ruth’s prime burger.
