Our name could fool you, but we specialize in more than just sizzling steaks at Ruth’s Chris Steak House! All our restaurants also offer a variety of lighter dishes that make for the perfect summer meal (though we’re also love a sizzling filet and cool, crisp salad on hot summer nights). Review some of our favorites below, then make a reservation at Ruth’s Chris Steak House to enjoy dinner with us this summer.
Start Your Summer Meal with Cool Appetizers
From the moment you take your seat at Ruth’s Chris, we’ll help you recover from the sweltering summer heat outside. All you need to do is order one of our seafood appetizers!
The name of our Chilled Seafood Tower speaks for itself: Cool off with Alaskan king crab legs, jumbo cocktail shrimp, colossal lump crab meat, and succulent Maine lobster all served over ice. We’ll give you classic cocktail sauce as well as our house-made Sirracha-lime sauce for your dipping pleasure.
Not in the mood for a whole tower? Simply order our chilled Shrimp Cocktail or Shrimp Remoulade starter!
Select a Refreshing Salad
Of course, the perfect summer meal wouldn’t be complete without a salad! Fortunately, we have plenty of salad options here at Ruth’s Chris.
You can’t go wrong with the House Salad, for instance. We top our iceberg lettuce with baby arugula, baby lettuces, grape tomatoes, garlic croutons, and red onions. Patrons also rave about our iceberg Lettuce Wedge with blue cheese and bacon and our traditional Caesar Salad.
Or perhaps you’re craving something a little more substantial but still on the summery side. In that case, order our original Ruth’s Chop Salad. This steakhouse favorite is served on a bed of julienne iceberg lettuce and comes stacked with toppings for a well-rounded summer meal: baby spinach, radicchio, red onions, mushrooms, green olives, bacon, eggs, hearts of palm, croutons, blue cheese, lemon basil dressing, and crispy onions for extra crunch.
Seafood Entrees for Summer at Ruth’s Chris
Who said that you absolutely have to order steak at a steakhouse? The Ruth’s Chris menu boasts a number of seafood dishes ideal for summer, such as the Garlic Crusted Chilean Sea Bass served with baby spinach and lemon butter. Other crowd-pleasers include our Fresh Whole Maine Lobster and our broiled Salmon Fillet finished with lemon butter and garnished with parsley.
All of that said, if a steak dinner still sounds like the perfect summer meal to you, then go for it! This summer, try the surf-and-turf Tournedos and Shrimp: two four-ounce medallions served alongside Cajun-dusted large shrimp. Or sink your teeth into one of our premium bone-in chops for a most upscale dining experience.
Don’t Forget Summer Sides
Fresh veggies make the perfect summer meal just that more revitalizing. At Ruth’s Chris, we offer Steamed Broccoli, pan-roasted Cremini Mushrooms sprinkled with fresh thyme, Roasted Brussels Sprouts dressed up with bacon and honey butter, and more.
