Ruth's Chris Steak House Coming To Melville

MELVILLE, NY — Ruth’s Chris Steak House is set to open in Melville on Monday, the franchise announced.

The 10,684-square-foot restaurant is at 881 Walt Whitman Road. The new space will feature a main dining room, a bar with ample seating and a variety of high tops, as well as three private dining rooms that can accommodate personal and family celebrations, business meetings and more.

“We’ve had the pleasure to serve the Long Island community for many years, and are fortunate to make available our one-of-a-kind experience to even more guests in the area,” said William Nicholson, general manager for Ruth’s Chris in Melville. “Ruth’s Chris offers its guests an exclusive dining experience – whether they’re celebrating a special occasion or enjoying an intimate dinner – no matter the size, we look forward to welcoming guests into our restaurant and showcasing the same top-notch service they’re accustomed to from the brand.”

Ruth’s Chris operates more than 150 restaurants and has been in business for over 57 years. As part of the pre-opening celebration, Ruth’s Chris will host a special dinner with community leaders, business owners, and Ruth’s Chris executives, while raising money for the restaurant’s local charity partner and food bank for Long Island – Island Harvest Food Bank.

“The Melville location will be our third in the area, representing an exciting expansion in the region that further entrenches us throughout Long Island’s fine dining scene,” said Cheryl Henry, president and CEO of Ruth’s Hospitality Group, Inc. “We look forward to welcoming new guests, as well as those who are already familiar with and passionate about our brand.”

There are Ruth's Chris steak houses in Garden City and Lake Grove, and Melville will round out the franchise's Long Island branches.

Ruth's Chris said it aims to make the last bite of the meal just as tasty as the first. The company uses a broiling method and seasoning techniques on its USDA Prime beef cuts, which it serves on a 500-degree plate — just the way Ruth’s Chris founder Ruth Fertel liked it.

In addition to steaks, guests can also order fresh seafood, scratch-made side dishes and desserts, craft cocktails and choice wines.

Ruth’s Chris will also offer its Sizzle, Swizzle, Swirl Happy Hour at the Melville location from 4 to 6 p.m. every Sunday through Friday.
