Why Is It Called Ruths Chris
When a kitchen fire destroyed Chris Steak House in 1976, Ruth was forced to relocate the restaurant to stay in business. But the Chris Steak House name wasn’t allowed to move with it. So, with little time and a mischievous smile, Ruth added her own name to the sign, making it Ruths Chris Steak House. And it workedthat tongue-twister of a name was born.
It All Started In New Orleans
In 1965, Ruth Fertel, a single mom looking for an opportunity, saw a steak house for sale in the classifieds. She didn’t know much about restaurants or steak, but she took a chance and mortgaged her home to buy Chris Steak House. Ruth mastered all the ins and outs herself, from butchering and broiling steak perfectly to serving guests. From the opening day, the special sizzle she created was a huge local success. And 50 years later, that tradition continues.

What are people saying about steakhouses in Richmond Hill, ON, Canada?
This is a review for steakhouses in Richmond Hill, ON, Canada:
“+.5 for serviceMy parents took me to Chop during my last visit to the GTA. Normally they’re not huge on chain steakhouses, but for some reason they raved a lot about this place.The interior looks really upscale. We came on a quiet night, so it was extremely spacious for the three of us. We had the french onion soup, crab cakes, meatball with sunday sauce, and prime rib. Overall I found the food to be good, but nothing otherworldly. Given the price point, decor, and my parents positive feedback about this place, my expectations were set quite high, but personally I didn’t find a huge difference between this place and The Keg.Service was good though, though it better have been given it wasn’t busy at all that night.”
