About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Great for fine wines
The first & only steakhouse of its kind in the Louisville area, Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse serves only dry-aged USDA prime beef. While steak is the foundation of the menu, Jeff Ruby's promises to please seafood lovers as well with its raw/sushi bar & seafood entrees.
Jeff Ruby regulars will be pleased to know that their favorite signature items from the Cincinnati restaurants will be well represented in Louisville. The bone-in filet, the 7 cheese baked macaroni, creamed spinach, truffle flake, & of course Jeff Ruby's secret recipe cheesecake are all staples of the Louisville menu.
Styled after the great NY steakhouses of the 1930s & '40s, Jeff Ruby's promises to be as pleasing visually as it is to the palate. French art-deco design, plush mohair upholstery, hand-selected antique furniture, and cinematic crystal chandeliers anchored by a 1950s-era antique are featured in the Starz series Magic City and the 32-foot wall of wine.

    Celebrated my birthday there last night. It has been 20 years since we were last at Jeff Ruby’s and might be another 20 years before we return. Food was good but pricey, service seemed short staffed and they couldn’t adjust my reservations by 15 minutes even though there were several open tables. They have done a remodel since we were last there and it is very nice. My biggest complaint is the noise level. My wife and I were either yelling across the table to carry on a conversation or texting. It’s definitely something to experience.

    The salmon was average as was the trout. Nothing special about them. Trout under cooked. Wait staff was wonderful. Salads were amazing. Wedge and strawberry salad.

    Thank you, the anniversary dinner. The misses were stuffed and satisfied. The Cowboy with crawfish was superb. Perfect char alongside with the loaded mash potatoes made it perfect. The Noah hill shot was really A DOUBLE SHOT HAD ME FEELING RIGHT LOL. And the Butter pie is officially my favorite along with the butter Cake. The cheesecake was the richest most flavorful cheesecake I ever had.

    Brittany and Grant were great with our service tonight. We came out for my birthday and everything they suggested was spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the ambiance. People watching through the night, the servers in JR are some of the best I’ve ever seen. I watched them take pictures for some of the guests to mark their celebrations, ask questions and respond with intention. I will always recommend this restaurant.

    Fantastic meal, and wanted to especially call out the crab cake. Absolutely the best I've ever had, as it's made up primarily of actual crab meat, with very little filler! The steaks and lobster are always superb. The service is unmatched. Always a top notch experience.

    We are repeat patrons to Jeff Ruby’s. I had made our reservation to enjoy the surf and turf special dinner and I have to say it was just delicious. The steak was exceptionally juicy and tender. Warm butter was presented with the lobster. The salad and sides were of perfect proportions. Sour dough bread and seasoned butter always a treat. Live piano made such a nice backgroundI also want to complement the attentive staff. Table service was excellent. I will be telling my friends about the great dinner we had. Still my favorite steak house and over all restaurant anywhere!
