RingSide Steakhouse, Steakhouse in Portland, US
RingSide Steakhouse is a steakhouse in Northwest Portland, Oregon, known for its straightforward approach to cooking beef cuts. The menu focuses on classic preparations, with little-changed recipes that have stayed consistent across many decades.
The restaurant first opened in 1944 on West Burnside Street, making it one of the oldest steakhouses in Portland. At some point the building went through major renovations that temporarily moved the operation to another location before it returned to its original address.
Boxing memorabilia and themed decorations fill the dining space, creating an atmosphere tied to the restaurant's name. Guests notice these references throughout their meal without feeling heavy-handed about the concept.
The restaurant opens in the late afternoon each day and accepts both reservations and walk-in guests, though booking ahead is a good idea for evening visits. Takeout is also available for those who prefer to eat elsewhere.
When the pandemic restricted restaurant dining in 2020, the kitchen started selling frozen steak boxes directly to customers. The response was so strong that it caused noticeable traffic problems in the surrounding neighborhood.
