Dan T. Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've never been to a Ruth's Chris Steak House. Who's been? Is it worth the bucks to go? What are the prices of the steaks? Which cut do you recommend to order? I heard all the side items are ala carte. How much are the sides? Is it true the menu doesn't have the prices listed?

renaissance Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 YES, YES, YES (thatswhatshesaid) I get the petit filet every time, and usually get two sides to share with someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tone_dubbz Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I went there with my Parents. The tab for three people was $200. And we didn't even drink. Its worth it if you have the money. I go there every now and then, the steak is definitely good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUSkinsFan Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 My parents went to the one in west Ocean City and said the food was really good, but they didn't think it was worth what they had to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 If money means nothing and a really good steak with good service is worth any price then yes it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Judges Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Some friends of mine and I rented a room there just to big pimp it on new years about 5 years ago. The food actually was kind of average. I was not impressed. But again, it was new year's eve and they had to serve like 20 of us simultaneously. I'm sure the everyday experience would be different. If you want to go ultra high class, go to the Prime Rib downtown. Mandatory coat and tie. Ungodly prime rib there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Went last year for New Years. 3 course meal and wine pairing for 2 for $100 was a good deal. Its a good steak @ Ruth's Chris, i like Mortons better. My favorite is Smith & Wollensky's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 RCSH is pretty darn good. I can honestly say I have never had a better steak anywhere. Fairly pricey. Locally, Ray's the Steaks, or Ray's the Classics, has meat that is arguably as good for 2/3 the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjah Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm a fan. Ruth's Chris, Peter Luger... sign me up. It's too expensive once you add the sides, but you leave completely stuffed and anyway it's just money. You'll earn more. (Note: I don't really feel that way about money. It just felt good to type it.) I go every so often with a friend or two who are big steak fans like me. You can occasionally find better steaks out there in the world, but so what? These places are damned good and you can find them everywhere. I recommend the Cowboy Ribeye for first-time Ruth's Chris visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleys Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I regularly eat at Ruth's Chris in my travels. It's OK. If I know of a quality steakhouse in the area, I go there instead. The best thing on the menu is the veal chops with hot peppers, which is outstanding and much better than any of the steaks. It's only really expensive if you hammer the add ons like the $15-20 appetizers and desserts or the riduculously priced drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 sides and drinks is where they get you. The steaks are actually reasonably priced... iirc the Filet is around $40 or so. Of course that is just a piece of meat and nothing else But yes- it is a dam good steak, I don't care who you are. Though I do agree with PB that mortons is better. Of course, I've only eaten at the Mortons in Nashville and the Ruths Chris in Knoxville. So it could be regional too. I bet if you take your significant other you could probably get out of there at around $120. Probably a cool thing to do once in a while imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Mortons is also is a good steak chain (ala the Ruth Chris and Luger's of the world). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I didn't like Morton's. I only went to the one in Tyson's though. I prefer The Palm to Morton's, and Ruth's Chris to The Palm. Then again, if someone else is buying I would be fine with any of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 My wife and I have been a few times, usually for nice occasions. Two filet's, sides, a bottle of wine, dessert etc. plus tip can get you in the $200 range. That's why we go only once in a great while. I personally think the steaks are incredibly good. I always get mine oscar style, with a crabcake on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Now if we are talking just about beef...I recommend finding a churrascaria (Brazilian Steak house) in your area if you have one. Even the large chains (like Texas de Brazil) are good. It's a beefapalooza. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Me and Murf and Gary Fitz and some of the producers at Redskins.com tried to walk into a Brazilian steakhouse in Cincy Sat night b/f the game. It was a 2 hour wait. In a recession :doh: Apparently, the Brazilian steakhouse idea is a pretty popular thing. What would the wait be in a good economy? 4 hours?
