Customer Review Summary

Multiple reviewers praise Ruth's Chris Steak House for its consistently high-quality food, particularly the tomahawk steak and mashed potatoes, with excellent service noted throughout. However, some diners report issues with long wait times for food and desserts, as well as inconsistent food quality on certain visits. Special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays are acknowledged positively, with personalized touches that enhance the dining experience.

I've dined here multiple times, and the initial experiences were impressive. The tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection, and the kitchen consistently accommodated my requests for doneness. The mashed potatoes were exceptional, possibly the best I've encountered at a steakhouse. The calamari was also delicious, with a well-judged seasoning. Unfortunately, a recent dinner date yielded a steak that didn't meet the high standards set by my previous visits, although the service remained top-notch and speedy. Considering the bustling atmosphere, I didn't anticipate an outstanding experience.

Very $$$$ for each entree and dishes. The steak was seasoned on point, but the quality was mediocre. Side dishes were very milky and cheesy, spinach artichoke, and potatoes with cheese (forgot the name of the side). We waited at least 20-30 mins for our entrees and 30 mins for a cold dessert. Spent over 2 hours in the restaurant and still not satisfied. I went home and still able to eat home cook meal. I would recommend to come try out the place when they have a special or during happy hours, I would not recommend paying full price for the menu. Services were amazing and on point, only if we didn't have to wait for so long to get our dessert order

Love this place. We go here every year for our anniversary. The food is fantastic, as is the staff. The manager's are constantly on the floor and checking to make sure you're having a great experience. It was our 10th anniversary last night and they made a side menu showing our anniversary at the top so as soon as you open the menu it was on the left. When the servers bring the food or box up your food to go they have gloves on. They also gave us a mini cheesecake with Happy Anniversary written in Chocolate. We always have an awesome experience.

You may want to know why a poor review gets five stars.. 1. It's valentine's Day so on the third busiest restaurant night of the year.. I'm willing to cut a little slack... 2 my bartender was awesome as I sat at the bar poured me three and wait no four beers while I waited for my food.... 3.. I didn't order anything complicated a petite mignon.... 4. It came out just the way I like it medium I asked for butter and horseradish sauce on the side that was done to perfection as was the food tasted great..... 5,,, now here is the rub.... 2 hours 55 minutes for a petite mignon... When I finally got it it was cold as ice...... And it's not that it had been sitting back there they forgot about my order.... They just forgot to make it so by the time the bartenders stood her ground they rushed something together I will say this it did taste good...but cold..... 6... $145.00. Is too much for something my remote control is bigger than

Christian was our server and was wonderful. He immediately took care of what was wrong with one of our orders for our group of 4. The bar was slow that night. Our food was wonderful! Both my husband and I ordered the filet and shrimp.The food came to the table sizzling. I would have preferred it a little more pink, but it was still tender and delicious.

The food was excellent. However, we arrived at 7:10 for a 7 o’clock reservation. We were seated at 7:40. We did not get any food or drink until 830. We were the last ones to leave the restaurant at 10 o’clock so I think something happened with our order. However, it was the best food I’ve ever had anywhere and the drink was excellent also

This place is absolutely fantastic. I have never had one bad experience and the food is always top-notch. Do not expect anything cheap unless you come during happy hour. But even then the food is absolutely delicious. Take my advice, go during happy hour, sit in The Bar area and order the "prime burger". You will not regret it.

During happy hour, my family and I went there to celebrate my mother’s (and my) birthday. Our waitress, Nakayla, was excellent. She made sure our cocktails and meals were up to standard. She even brought a small dessert to enhance the celebration. I highly recommend this place, and thank you, Nakayla, for a great evening.
