The story
Ruth's Chris Steak House on Highway 315 in Wilkes-Barre is part of a legacy built on one unwavering promise: USDA Prime beef, broiled to order at 1800°F and served sizzling on a heated plate. That signature approach has made Ruth's Chris one of the most recognized steakhouse names in the country, and the Wilkes-Barre location carries that standard into northeastern Pennsylvania.
The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence for 2025, a distinction that reflects a carefully curated wine list designed to complement the steakhouse menu. For guests who take their pairing as seriously as their cut, that recognition matters — it signals a cellar with genuine range and selection, not an afterthought list.
Open for both lunch and dinner, the Wilkes-Barre location serves the full Ruth's Chris experience across both services — making it a viable choice whether you're marking a special occasion over dinner or looking for a proper midday steak. The steakhouse format here is straightforward and confident: quality ingredients, precise cooking, and a room that takes the meal seriously.
