In Short – This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.

Great place others don't know what they are talking about
by salvanious
12/26/08 was a Friday night so pootron must have been making this up. He said he ate on a Saturday night. I dined at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on 12/27/08 and was the best steak I have ever had. I had the bone in ribeye and it was amazing. The service was prompt and casual not stuffy like Perry's. I would diffenantley fo back.
- Pros: Casually formal
- Cons: A little Pricey

Very Disappointing!
by pooteron
We have eaten at a lot of restaurants that specialize in steak. We have even eaten in the bar at Ruth's Chris for happy hour. We were extremely disappointed in our recent dinner here. The steak was ok, but not much flavor and the side dishes were terrible. The potatoes au gratin had a weird aftertaste so the waiter brought us garlic mashed potatoes....again an aftertaste. The broccoli was plain, mushrooms boring. I would not waste $200 for a meal here. Go to Texas Land and Cattle.
- Pros: Got a reservation at the last minute on a Saturday night....should have known why.
- Cons: Food

Our 16-yr old makes a better steak!!!!!! Won't go back!
by sharongpayne
Honestly I struggle between 2 and 3 stars. We really had high hopes for our dinner at Ruth's Chris but were sadly disappointed. The meat was basically flavorless - our 16 yr old could have made a better steak! Seasoned with only salt and pepper - just blah! I have to agree with another posting about the au gratin potatoes - cheap cheese, no seasoning - the only saving grace was the salt/pepper we added at the table. Salad was basic - nothing special - just a basic salad you could get at any lower priced restaurant for a heck of a lot less. Our waiter was good but overall the service was nothing to brag about. Certainly not what you would except for this caliber restaurant. The ancillary wait staff served and removed our food from the incorrect side, in fact reached across the table from the other direction to remove dirty plates. The table itself was never cleaned of crumbs throughout our entire meal. We did get plenty of water served though! The somewhat rushed atmosphere made it feel much more like a semi fast food restaurant which was another thing that made the experience disappointing. Our waiter knew we were disappointed and mentioned it to the manager who expressed his concern and did comp us for one dinner. That was nice but it just doesn't make up for such a disappointing experience....we won't go back EVER.
- Pros: Didn't have to wait to be seated
- Cons: Below average food / marginal service
