Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse

Some relationships are just meant to be. When General Manager Tim Snyder first heard about the mission of The Girlfriend Factor, he immediately knew this was an organization that Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse had to support. Ruth’s Chris was established over 40 years ago by Ruth Fertel, a single mother who mortgaged her home to create what is now the largest fine dining company in the world. To this day, the management of Ruth’s Chris never looses sight of the humble beginnings and accomplishments of its founder.
Fabulous food and a relaxing bar setting that feels like home, join us in supporting Ruth’s Chris as thanks for their generosity to GFF.
