If you’re looking for an exquisite meal featuring fine food, impeccable service, and an elegant ambiance, you’ll find it at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Part of Asheville’s historic Biltmore Village, this stately restaurant is located just outside the front gates of the magnificent Biltmore Estate.
You may already be familiar with the reputation of this legendary upscale restaurant chain, which is known around the world. The fact that so many diners swear that the Asheville location is THE best Ruth’s Chris they’ve ever been to speaks for itself.
One note on the franchise front? While the Asheville Ruth’s Chris Steak House is part of the iconic chain, it is locally owned and operated by Jeff and Paula Conway, who are very active in the community. The result is a best-of-both-worlds dining experience combining everything you know and love about Ruth’s Chris with a caring and personal touch.
Everything about Ruth’s Chris embodies the classic steakhouse experience—starting with the American Craftsman style decor. Dramatic high ceilings, custom lighting, rich mahogany woods, and a “wall of wine” are just a few of the dazzling details that will set the tone for your visit to Ruth’s Chris. In addition to the main dining room, there’s also a spacious bar and patio, four private dining rooms, and a wine cellar.
The top-notch service and excellent cuisine match the decor. Every element of your dining experience is carefully calibrated to delight. From welcoming hosts and waitstaff to exclusive recipes, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy a truly world-class meal.
While Ruth’s Chris is best known for its custom-aged USDA Prime steaks and chops, it also has an extensive selection of seafood, fish, chicken, and other specialties, not to mention delectable soups, salads, appetizers, sides, and handcrafted cocktails designed to perfectly complement and enhance each entrée. Everything on the menu is made with the finest, freshest ingredients.
Short on time or looking for a good deal? The Sizzle, Swizzle, Swirl Happy Hour just might be the best deal in town.
And just because it’s a fancy restaurant doesn’t mean little ones aren’t welcome. In fact, there’s a mindful children’s menu that takes even the pickiest palates into account. (Yes, there ARE chicken strips.)
