The story

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Lexington: Art Deco Steakhouse with USDA Prime Steaks and Wine Spectator Award

A Lexington Steakhouse with Gilded Age Glamour

Family-owned and operated since 1981, Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse brings a lively, upscale energy to downtown Lexington. The Art Deco-inspired decor—gilded accents paired with local touches—creates an atmosphere that is both luxurious and welcoming. The restaurant’s “Culture of Care” drives service that feels personal and attentive.

Prime Steaks, Seafood, and Award-Winning Wine

The menu features award-winning U.S.D.A. Prime steaks, dry-aged cuts, and a rare selection of Wagyu beef. A raw bar offers fresh seafood, and the kitchen’s macaroni and cheese was named one of “America’s Most Magnificent Sides” by Food Network. Other options include sushi, desserts, and a drinks menu. The wine list has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, a testament to its quality and breadth.

Private Dining, Meal Kits, and Live Entertainment

Four elegant private dining rooms can host events of various sizes, and a chef’s table offers an intimate view of the kitchen. Live entertainment adds to the vibrant atmosphere. For at-home enjoyment, the restaurant offers meal kits, including a seasonal “Steak to the Lake” kit, available for nationwide shipping. Seasonal menu offerings, promotional events, and community engagements keep the calendar lively.

A Downtown Lexington Staple

From the moment you walk through the doors, Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse aims to make you feel like family. With its combination of prime steaks, fresh seafood, award-winning wine, and warm hospitality, it’s a destination that stands out in Kentucky’s horse and bourbon country.
