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.

[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.

[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).
