Want plain, simple and perfect beef? Add James Beard's favorite
onion rings to what locals claim is
" the best red meat" in town and you have "Portland's
Premier Porterhouse Palace." Nothing has
changed much here in 53 years of operation that's brought in more
than 40 regional awards
including both a Top 10 Steak House in America and a 1997 Golden
Fork Award.
So sit back & enjoy one of the best beef places on the west
coast.

“ The onion rings are the best
I’ve ever had.”
James Beard, food writer, chef and cookbook author.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“ RingSide has justifiably
earned its reputation as one of the top ten steakhouses in the United
States.”
Judy Peterson-Nedry, food & wine editor, The Wine News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“
It’s the old-fashioned clubby feel, emblazoned in the large,
hand-laid fireplace, that makes
RingSide work.”
The Downtowner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“ Red meat, red booths and
Portland’s best steaks. The crisp, meaty onion rings have
a legendary following for a good reason; they’re great!”
David Sarasohn, The Oregonian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“ A half-century tradition
serving top-grade, corn-fed, aged steaks and prime rib; legendary
onion rings.”
The Columbian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“ The RingSide has been a legend
of Portland’s dining scene since the 1940’s, revered
not only as the city’s top steakhouse but also as a place
that helped shape our civic identity.”
Grant Butler, food editor, The Oregonian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“ In the manly arena of beef,
booze and big tabs, this hometown (Portland) steakhouse ranks with
the champs.”

“Few restaurants more greatly
deserve the title of “venerable” than RingSide. Since
1944, this loyally attended chapel for civilized carnivores has
been serving up large, high quality slabs of meat,
meticulously prepared."
Anne Marie DiStefano, The Tribune
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Bartenders who craft a good
Martini and friendly locals give the RingSide’s bar scene
a clubby, pleasant atmosphere. Just because the RingSide is a steakhouse,
don’t hesitate to order any of their fresh seafood. It would
be your loss."
Kathleen Casey, Editor in Chief – Portland Entertainment and
Lifestyle Guide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“If Sinatra-esque elegance
is what you crave and “fancy” means having framed celebrity
autographs lining the walls, then this 60-plus-year-old meat palace
is your kind of joint. But the wood-paneled walls, tuxedoed servers
and low lighting are only a glossy shellac over the RingSide’s
real meat-and-potatoes aesthetic; a vibe that’s not so much
stuffy as it is grandfatherly. Aside from the steak (try the slow-roasted
prime rib for the cream of RingSide’s crop), the oysters and
onion rings, battered and crispy, also receive the deluxe treatment
here."
Willamette Week

“Must-have dishes: Onion rings;
Caesar salad; well-marbled rib-eye steak; New York strip steak;
crème brûlée; at the bar, the incredible hamburger
with Gorgonzola."
Grant Butler, The Oregonian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“RingSide is the original “steakhouse”
in Portland and very proud of it. Like many classic steak houses,
RingSide has modeled its ambience after the original place where
man ate meat: the cave. It’s deliciously dark and flame-lit,
and like all the great caves of the world, the walls tell stories.
The clientele ranges from regulars who have been coming for 50 years
to 25 year olds just discovering the joy of a great martini and
rare steak.”
Kaie Wellman – eat.shop.portland
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“When diners talk about memorable
meals here, it’s often with an irreverent tone…this
is one of the best places around, a real-deal slice of Portland
life.”
The Oregonian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Local carnivores know where
to go for the best T-bone in town: RingSide, of course. The restaurant,
in its 59th year of establishment, recently gained national fame
as well. Food critic and senior editor of America’s Top Ten
Club Tom Horan named RingSide to his Top Ten Club-a who’s
who in steakhouses around the country. RingSide ranked No.7.”
The Business Journal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“This Portland institution
is back at the top of its game. Steak dinners include sides for
which most steakhouses charge extra. Best bets include famous onion
ring, Caesar salad, rib-eye steak, New York strip and the incredible
hamburger."
Grant Butler, The Oregonian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“There is nothing to match
an old-fashioned steakhouse for a juicy, flavorful, corn fed steak.
RingSide, now aged for more than a half-century itself, is just
such a place.”
Kathleen Casey, Editor Portland Entertainment and lifestyle Guide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Since 1944, this has been
the spot for Portland’s elite and power brokers to seal deals
over ice-cold martinis and choice cuts of beef: The sunken bar has
enough memorabilia for a mini-tour through the history of sports".
Grant Butler - The Oregonian
