context_page_description: RingSide Steakhouse is a restaurant located in Portland, Oregon.
context_section_description: The RingSide has been one of the city's most famous steakhouses for more than 60 years, and in addition to the original location on West Burnside has opened a second restaurant on the East side of the Willamette River. The name refers to the establishment's boxing decor theme. In 2010, the restaurant temporarily moved the original location to the Fox Tower while the Burnside location was remodeled. A year later, they opened RingSide Fish House at the Fox Tower location. The east side location at the Glendoveer Golf Course was set to close for a remodel in January 2015.
  The Glendoveer location reopened as the Ringside Grill. The Ringside Grill's last day of business was August 30, 2017.
  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.
