Ruth's Chris Steak House

Ownership

Ruth's was acquired by Darden Restaurants in June 2023, making it part of a large corporate restaurant conglomerate. This is the lowest score on the ownership scale.

Local Sourcing

Ruth's Chris serves USDA Prime beef supplied by nationally recognized premium beef suppliers, with steaks that are corn-fed Midwestern beef. While beef is sourced from premium national suppliers rather than local Wisconsin sources, specific local sourcing data is not publicly available.

Community Involvement

Ruth's Chris has been an active leader in finding ways to support the community through matching donations to local partnerships and creative fundraisers, but engagement appears variable by location and primarily through corporate matching donation programs rather than deep local ties.

Local Workforce

Employees rate Ruth's Chris Steak House 3.6 out of 5 stars based on 1,387 anonymous reviews on Glassdoor, with 59% of employees recommending the company to a friend. Employee reviews show mixed experiences regarding management and compensation.

Revenue Retention

As a publicly traded company now owned by Darden Restaurants, Ruth's became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Darden, meaning most revenue flows to the corporate parent and shareholders rather than staying in the local Madison community.
