You can also buy it by the ounce there if you just want to try it. First time I tried it, I topped my steak with steak and added a few ounces. Next time I went, I skipped over everything else and will probably not eat a different steak from that ever again when I'm lucky enough to return.
Also, Ruby sells his steak seasoning for $20 a tin. For those on a budget, put that shit on some prime grade steak you pick up at Costco. Or any steak, for that matter. Fantastic. I put it on any steak or hamburger I make.
And yes, any Ruby restaurant is super expensive. But, I'm a big believer in paying for "experiences" and I feel like it qualifies!
Snake River produces excellent beef, the briskets are beyond good. I've eaten at Jeff Ruby's in Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington, Eddie Merlot's in Louisville, and Ruth's Chris. RC I fine overpriced for what you get. Ruby's is excellent. Merlot's is the best of the 3 IMO. But, but far the best steak I have ever eaten was in Deadwood, SD. I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but it is a 5 star restaurant on the 3rd floor of Kevin Costner's "Midnight Star" casino. They served a bourbon glazed steak you could literally cut with a fork.
Interesting fact about Jeff Ruby. He is a survivor of the Beverly Hill's Supper Club fire in 1977, and barely made it out alive.
