The RingSide has been one of the city's most famous steakhouses for more than 60 years[1] and, in addition to the original location on West Burnside Street, it has opened a second restaurant on the East side of the Willamette River. The name refers to the establishment's boxing decor theme.[1] In 2010, the restaurant temporarily moved the original location to the Fox Tower while the Burnside location was remodeled.[2] A year later, they opened RingSide Fish House at the Fox Tower location.[2] The east side location at the Glendoveer Golf Course was set to close for a remodel in January 2015.[3]
The Glendoveer location reopened as the Ringside Grill. The Ringside Grill's last day of business was August 30, 2017.[4]
In late April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, RingSide sold frozen boxes of steak directly to the general public for the first time in 75 years. The move caused a mile-long traffic jam along West Burnside Street, and products sold out in less than 2.5 hours.[5]
Later in 2020, RingSide filed a lawsuit against their insurer, Cincinnati Financial, for $236,000 for the loss of business and expenses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
In 2021, Cincinnati Financial sued RingSide seeking a judgement declaring RingSide's revenue losses from lower customer traffic as a result of wildfire smoke were not covered by their policy.[7]
RingSide has garnered more than 40 regional and national awards throughout its history.[8] Willamette Week readers ranked RingSide first place in the following categories: "Best Meat-Eater's Palace" (2004),[9] "Best Steakhouse" (2005),[10] and "Best Steak" (2006).[11] RingSide was a runner-up in the "Best Happy Hour" category of Willamette Week's "Best of Portland Readers' Poll 2020".[12] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the onion rings in Eater Portland's 2024 overview of "iconic" Portland dishes.[13]
