In the summer, Columbia is a city that is alive with activities and Southern charm. It’s also famous for its soaring temperatures.
Cool down with a leisurely morning walk through Riverfront Park, where the breeze from the Congaree River provides a refreshing start to the day. But, as the sun climbs higher, the day’s heat calls for a retreat into a cool, comfortable space where you can relax.
At Ruth’s Chris Steak House, we know that as temperatures rise, so does our craving for refreshing and satisfying meals that capture the essence of Southern summer flavors.
Here are some of our favorite summer dishes from the Columbia Lunch Menu at Ruth’s Chris Steak House.
