Who gets Ruth's Chris to go, right? Well...we were traveling with a pet and decided to bring it back to our hotel. The service we received was great. We had the stuffed chicken with a salad and garlic mashed potatoes. It was all delicious. … More

Ruth Chris steak house
Went for a friend’s 50th bday
Place is very georgorous! Spacious and the staff is friendly.
We had a buffet style appetizer- went for a plate but unfortunately there was dirty dishes under a couple so we immediately informed the waiter who took those plates away.
Didn’t care for the tuna but then again not a fish eater so don’t take my word on it. Charcuterie board had some good cheese and fruit along with some salmon.
We had caesar salad and house salad they were extremely tasty and well prepared.
Next was the main course- rib eye steak cooked medium as I liked it. It was good but honestly I have had better at Longhorn steakhouse.
The multiple sides were made very well done. It was a very good experience as well.
The crem bule was terrific but did not care for the flowerless chocolate cake. Too sweet for my tastebuds.
The hot pressed coffee was very good and definitely wanted with the desert.
Bottom line- since this was a party of 50 - I definitely had worse experiences- it’s hard to cook steak for that many people and have a “wow” factor.
This is Ruth Chris Steakhouse so I did expect the “wow” factor. This is a place that for my budget would be a one time experience but in this case I would like to go back and try at least once and see if that “wow” factor happens.
For $100 per person, average per plate? Maybe not.

We went there around 5pm. Initially, we thought about ordering from happy hour menu, but then we suddenly craved a porterhouse, so we changed our plan. The porterhouse was pretty good with a tender texture, though it was a bit salty and peppery. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.
