In addition to our award-winning steakhouse menu, we’re serving up a traditional, multi-course Thanksgiving feast on this Thanksgiving Day. Continue reading to learn why you should host your family’s Thanksgiving dinner at Ruth’s Chris or make your reservation at your nearest Ruth’s Chris today!

Enjoy a Scrumptious Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner at Ruth’s Chris

When you choose to host your family’s Thanksgiving dinner at Ruth’s Chris, you can forget about the stress of cooking. Ruth’s Chris will take care of everything for you: the cooking AND the cleaning up.

Our multi-course Thanksgiving Dine-in Prix Fixe Menu comes with all the fixings and is available for you and your family to enjoy at a Ruth’s Chris near you.

To start your meal, choose either our Caesar Salad or Steak House Salad. Or you can add a little New Orleans flair to your Thanksgiving feast with our Louisiana Seafood Gumbo.

For the main course, you’ll savor sliced Roasted Turkey, served with homemade gravy, cornbread-herb stuffing, and cranberry relish. We’re confident that it’ll all taste just like Grandma used to make—maybe even better if that’s at all possible.

In addition, your Thanksgiving meal will include one personal side item: choose from creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans with Roasted Garlic, Sweet Potato Casserole with a pecan crust, or Ruth’s favorite Creamed Spinach.

Last but not least, Thanksgiving calls for an autumnal dessert. However, pumpkin pie is so predictable! Instead, we’ve created a Pumpkin Cheesecake and paired it with vanilla ice cream. Without a doubt, your Thanksgiving dinner will end on a sweet note!

Award-Winning Wine List to Help You Give Thanks

This Thanksgiving, you won’t be limited to whatever bottle of wine your friends or family bring for the big meal. On the contrary, our extensive wine list, featured in Wine Spectator, gives you hundreds of bottles from around the world to choose from!

If you love red wine, we especially recommend the Tribute by Benziger Cabernet Sauvignon. Its Bordeaux-inspired fruit flavors will pair well with the flavors of your Thanksgiving table. White wine drinkers, on the other hand, should consider the Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay by Cambria with its subtle spice notes and bright acidity.

And if you’d rather celebrate Turkey Day with a handcrafted cocktail or a beer, we also have plenty of those available at Ruth’s Chris. The ginger notes in the Nola Mule pair particularly well with the flavors of Thanksgiving, if you’re looking for something a little different this year.

Dining Rooms With a Refined Ambiance

You don’t want to host your family’s Thanksgiving dinner just anywhere. This special occasion meal calls for a sophisticated setting, and our dining rooms deliver at Ruth’s Chris. We’ve tastefully decorated all our restaurants with deep reds, dark wood accents, and mood lighting. Doesn’t that sound like a special atmosphere for a Thanksgiving dinner? We certainly think so.

Host Your Family’s Thanksgiving Dinner at Ruth’s Chris

To dine with us on Thanksgiving Day, make a reservation at your nearest Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurant. But hurry – tables for Thanksgiving Day are already going fast.

If you’d rather spend Thanksgiving in the comfort of your own home, though, you can also pre-order our complete Thanksgiving meal, prepared for pick-up so you can reheat and serve at home when it’s most convenient for you. Just remember: All orders must be placed and paid in full by Friday, November 18th, 2022, at 6 p.m.

Either way, we look forward to helping you celebrate a stress-free Thanksgiving this year!

Where to Eat Out on Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving To-Go: How to Enjoy Thanksgiving at Home

Even if you can’t travel to be with loved ones this year, that doesn’t mean Thanksgiving is canceled. Whether you’re celebrating with your immediate family or close friends and colleagues, you can still give thanks, wear cozy sweaters, and eat way too much turkey and stuffing.

If you don’t want to expend much effort cooking a huge feast for just a few, though, Ruth’s Chris Steak House can help. Our complete Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner To-Go (available for as few as four adults) is the perfect solution for enjoying a holiday meal without the hassle. In addition to placing your Thanksgiving carry-out order on time — all orders must be placed online and paid in full by Friday, November 19th at 6 p.m. – here are some other tips for making the most of a low-key Turkey Day.

Order Thanksgiving Dinner from Ruth’s Chris

A special meal is the ultimate hallmark of Thanksgiving, and Ruth’s Chris is here to help you savor one this year. When you order our Thanksgiving dinner for four, all you have to do is pick it up, reheat (we’ll provide instructions), and relax. With one bite of our Roasted Turkey and homemade gravy, you’ll feel like you’re back at Grandma’s house for the holidays.

Our Thanksgiving to-go dinner meal includes your choice of salad (Caesar or Steak House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette), roasted turkey (half breast portion), homemade gravy, traditional cranberry relish, sausage-herb stuffing and your choice of two family-style sides. Choose from Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Spinach, Sweet Potato Casserole or Green Beans with Roasted Garlic.

But if you don’t want to forsake your mother’s impeccable turkey preparation, you can order any of our Sides to Go instead of the full package to add to your meal at home.

Finally, no Thanksgiving is complete without an autumn dessert. That’s why we’ve created a pumpkin cheesecake as the finale for our to-go meal, so you can end your evening on a sweet note. Our Thanksgiving meal for four comes with four individual pumpkin cheesecakes.

Decorate for Yourself

Get into the holiday spirit by adorning your home with fall decorations, regardless of whether or not anyone else will see it. An autumn-themed tablecloth and cornucopia centerpiece can easily transform your table for Thanksgiving. Other touches like fall wreaths, pumpkins and gourds, and seasonal bouquets will make you feel extra festive. Add even more ambiance by lighting a candle in a classic fall scent like apple cinnamon or pumpkin spice.

Practice as Many Traditions as Possible—and Start New Ones

Although the crowds will be absent, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and football games will go on. If you normally tune in, watching will remind you that it’s a special day. And since you ordered your Thanksgiving dinner from Ruth’s Chris instead of cooking it yourself, you’ll have tons of free time to spend creating new traditions. Take a walk outside and step on some delightfully crunchy leaves, make turkey-related crafts with the kids, or play a board game together. When Thanksgiving returns to normal over the next couple years, you may find that some of these new traditions stick with you!

Connect with People You’re Thankful for

It’s is the reason for the season, right? By now, you’re likely a pro at getting everyone together over Zoom. Make sure you also take a moment to call or text your older relatives who might not have access to a webcam. The important thing is that you’re connecting with family—or your chosen family—however possible.
