Plain and simple, the happy hour deal at Ruth's Chris Steak House is one Chicago's best burger bargains. A mere $7 will buy you a perfectly cooked, prime beef burger with your choice of cheese and a generous side of seasoned hand cut fries. That's a terrific deal in any setting, let alone a high end steakhouse. For comparison, I'm not even certain that $7 buys a value meal at most fast food establishments anymore.
Let's get to the burger. I ordered my burger medium with cheddar cheese. As you might expect from a respected steakhouse, the burger was cooked perfectly. The outside of the burger had a slight, salty crust, and the center was perfectly moist and tender. It was a refreshing change to order a burger medium and have it actually cooked to the appropriate doneness. The bun was on the ordinary side, but it was substantial enough to hold up against this massive, juicy burger. Toppings included the standard lettuce, tomato, and onion. The hand cut fries were crisp and seasoned perfectly.
Ruth's Chris burger is a terrific example of just how good a burger can be by mastering the basics. If you're looking for crazy toppings and secret sauces, look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong. Off the wall burgers with creative toppings still have their place, but more often than not, I just want a well executed burger to satisfy my craving. That's exactly what Ruth's Chris burger is all about - high quality ingredients, cooked to perfection.
If you work in the Loop or River North area, the happy hour at Ruth's Chris Steak House is a great after work option. Make sure to arrive on the early side to secure seats in the bar area. The happy hour pricing is only valid Monday through Friday until 7 pm at the bar. Burger lovers and cheapskates unite. This deal is sure to please everyone.
