By Stacie Adams May 11, 2025 10:15 am EST A restaurant known for high prices and high quality, Ruth's Chris Steak House has more to offer than just a confusing name (which resulted from owner Ruth Fertel's contractual obligations that stopped her from using the restaurant's original name in a new location).
