Ruth’s Chris Steak House has been a special-occasion fixture on White Plains Road (Route 119) in Tarrytown, an easy drive from the village’s Main Street and the area’s hotels. Founded in New Orleans in 1965, the chain is known for USDA Prime beef broiled at 1,800 degrees and served on 500-degree plates, so the steak arrives sizzling.
The menu centers on classic cuts such as filet mignon, rib-eye, New York strip, and a porterhouse for two, served with sides like potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and asparagus with hollandaise. There’s also seafood, including the chain’s New Orleans-style barbecued shrimp, plus chicken, lamb, and house-made desserts. The full bar and wine list round out the menu, and there’s a happy hour in the bar on weekday afternoons.
Dinner is served nightly. Reservations are suggested, and the restaurant has three private rooms that hold up to 80 guests, plus offsite catering.
