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.

My husband’s steak was cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. We got a side of lobster macaroni and cheese and it was creamy and delicious. I got the Dover soul and it was probably an 8 out of 10, but everything else was a 10 out of 10, including the service!

We chose Jeff Ruby's to celebrate our 20th Anniversary, and it was a meal we'll not soon forget. The ambiance is incredible, I only wish we could have heard the piano player from where we sat. Daisy took amazing care of us, and made us feel welcome and right at home! She went over the menu, and offered recommendations. Her smile puts you at ease, and her genuine attitude was a sheer pleasure! The wine list is extensive, and I was very pleased with my selection, the Innocent Bystander Moscato was perfect. (I am NOT a wine connoisseur, I just happen to like a good Moscato. Don't judge my pairings, lol!) I cannot say enough about the food! TRY THE WAYGU MEATBALL!!! Incredibly delectable!!! The oysters Rockefeller was divine! The aged New York Strip was by far the best steak I've ever tasted and cooked to perfection, and the Sea Bass practically melted in my mouth. Jeff Ruby's, We've eaten at the Gordon Ramsey Steakhouse at Caesars, and you all absolutely blew them away!!! Thank you for a most memorable night!

We didn’t get our salads and Parmesan fries were overcooked. But the manager made it up with a dessert special for my son’s 18th. Not Jeff Ruby’s normal perfection so a little disappointed but overall good.

Michael was a fantastic waiter for my wife and I at our table. We enjoyed the sea bass and steak, both were cooked perfectly and the other food items we had were great as well. Highly recommend trying the espresso martinis. Overall, the quality was great and it exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be coming back to Jeff Ruby’s again.
