Ruth’s Chris Steak House Waltham

Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Waltham serves USDA Prime beef broiled at 1,800 degrees and plated on 500-degree dishes, so steaks arrive sizzling and stay hot from the first bite to the last. The menu extends beyond steak to New Orleans-inspired appetizers, fresh seafood, signature side dishes and homemade desserts, reflecting the chain’s Louisiana origins. It pitches itself for toasting a milestone or simply getting together.

Founder Ruth Fertel started the business in 1965, and the company says it still follows her recipe of perfect steaks, warm hospitality and good times. Her patented broiling method is still used, and chefs, cooks and front-of-house staff are trained to her standards. The bar combines spirits, service and steaks in a relaxed, friendly setting for drinks and a meal.
