A Serious Steakhouse with More than Just Steaks
 
Ruths Chris Steak HouseOne can only expect the best at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. As Ruth Fertel once said, "It's the sizzle that sets us apart from the stuffy, stodgy, old-line steak houses. You have a great steak at Ruth's Chris, but you also have a great time, and you always leave with great memories."

This is the place that showed the world how great a steak can be: carefully selected and aged for tenderness and then cut thick to ensure juiciness. Then, seared to perfection at 1800 degrees. Finally, seasoned simply with salt, black pepper and a touch of parsley. Topped with fresh butter that sizzles seductively on your plate, announcing the arrival of a great steak.

At Ruth's Chris, while steak is king, the royal family is large. Be sure to also try the Market Fresh Seafood selection, cooked to perfection. Or the popular Ahi Tuna Stack, seared rare, topped with Colossal lump crabmeat and served sizzling with red pepper pesto. There's even something for vegetarians. The Grilled Portobello Mushrooms - marinated Portobello mushrooms on fluffy garlic mashed potatoes with grilled asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes and sizzling lemon butter is sure to please your palette.

Fresh ingredients are at the core of Ruth’s Chris steakhouse and that philosophy extends from the kitchen to the wine cellar to the bar. So, enjoy a martini with your favorite vodka, whether that's Grey Goose, Armadale or Chopin. If you're a Scotch drinker, be sure to try the 25-year-old Macallan single malt. Of course, the restaurant also has the finest vintages from the world's greatest wineries, by the bottle or by the glass. At Ruth's Chris, your meal will always have the perfect accompaniment.

Clearly, Ruth’s Chris take their food seriously, but they’re also serious about making sure you have a good time. So you won't find the stodgy, uptight attitude you might find at other steak houses. So, feel free to laugh out loud, stay a while and experience the sizzle.

Iowa never comes up short when it comes to recreation, history, and family fun. The state is filled with campgrounds, nature trails, biking paths, golf courses, and the kind of towns that define America’s heartland. It’s a state of Amish buggies, white-tailed deer, geese, wildlife refuges, river valleys, and country inns. As for things to do and see, the Amana Colonies, one of Iowa’s major visitor attractions, comprises seven authentic German Villages formed over 150 years ago. The crafts and culture here remain as much testaments of the past as they do learning experiences of the present. The Herbert Hoover Birthplace is also a great historic site, fully restored, including Hoover’s home, personal library, and working ironsmith shop. Iowa’s border along the Great Lakes offers a multitude of opportunities for fishing, boating, waterskiing, jet skiing, and sunbathing. Also in the Northwest region are Sioux City landmarks and the trails of Lewis and Clark. Further south are the picturesque prairie lands and rolling Loess Hills. Iowa is also famous for its rodeos and game hunting. For a bird’s eye view of the land, take a trip in a hot air balloon over the tallgrass of the prairie and witness a place where the buffalo truly roam free. Or take your chances on a riverboat casino while traveling down the mighty Mississippi. Iowa is also home to “the world’s crookedest street”!
