    Ruth's Chris is the best place for steak on the planet. The first bite of USDA prime beef from a sizzling 500 degree F (260 degree C) plate sends your mouth into ecstasy and makes you forget any problems you may be having, even if only for a few moments. I highly recommend the bone-in cuts. The bone-in filet is my personal favorite. The strip is my favorite cut since it has more beef than a traditional filet, but the bone-in filet at Ruth's Chris is so delicious that I cannot pass it up. Do not be concerned about the price. It is worth every penny and much more. The bone-in strip and T-bone are excellent choices for those who desire more beef and/or more value. Couples who like their steak cooked to the same temperature should consider the porterhouse. My dining guest likes the petite filet, an excellent choice for those with smaller appetites. I prefer my steak "naked", but if you're a little more adventurous, try one of the toppings. Shrimp always pairs well with steak. Unless you aren't into fried food, the shoestring fries are a must. A beautiful departure from the traditional fries you find at fast food and fast casual locations. The asparagus is my vegetable of choice. The hollandaise is on the side, which is a relief for me, since I like my spears just the way they are. I've also had the creamed spinach, and it too is outstanding. Ruth's Chris is dear to my heart since it started in New Orleans, my native city. It will become dear to your heart once you try it, if you haven't already.

    Ruth’s Chris was a fantastic dinning experience. Our server Sam was attentive and worked well with our group of 8. Great service! A few of our steaks had to be refired but they were great to work with and ensured everything was excellent afterwards. All the food we ate was delicious. We will definitely be back.

    We were greeted warmly and taken to our table which was exactly what we requested. Our waitress arrived promptly and introduced herself offering to explain everything about Ruth’s Chris Stake House offerings and menus. My wife and I had enjoyed our visit last May so we knew what to expect but it was the first time our guest had been there. Our evening was delightful for the entire 2 hours we spent. We’ll definitely return often!

    We ordered three steaks, all were undercooked. The first one was supposed to be well done and it was blood red in the middle, it was sent back and came back barely medium, and sent back again. The truffle butter crust (extra charge) disappeared during one of the trips back to the kitchen. The restaurant’s solution? Free dessert.

    Excellent food and service; very good ambience- rated 4 of 5 due to cool temperature of dining room on chilly night. Would definitely suggest!

    I requested not to be seated by a door and I the corner when I made the reservation. They seated us right by a door. Some food was over cooked. Every other experience I e had here has been a 5, but this was a 3 at best. Very surprising for a Friday night.
