Ruth's Chris Steak House
NapervilleFood Editor
Local team review
The barbecued shrimp — Ruth's iconic appetizer swimming in New Orleans-style spicy butter sauce — demanded bread for sopping, and that bread-sopping moment was honestly the highlight of the evening. The 500-degree sizzling plate is theatrical, but there's real science behind it: that butter pooling on the scorching surface bastes the steak continuously, and the seared filet arrived with a crust that no home kitchen could replicate. The potatoes au gratin were layered, creamy, and indulgent enough to justify skipping dessert. For a celebration dinner with genuine steakhouse gravitas, the new Block 59 location delivers.
About the Restaurant
Ruth's Chris brought its signature 500-degree sizzling plates to Naperville's Block 59 development in March 2026, and the suburban steakhouse scene just got more competitive. Every steak arrives on a plate so hot it continues cooking tableside, a theatrical touch the brand has perfected over six decades. The new space is sleek and modern, a departure from the dark-paneled clubhouse aesthetic of older locations, signaling that this Ruth's Chris is courting a younger, more design-conscious crowd.
Insider Tip
