Editorial Review for Ruth's Chris Steak House – by Tara de Lis
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.

Look GoodIt's not on the menu, but consider ordering your steak "Oscar style," which means it's topped with asparagus, crab cakes and bearnaise sauce.

If you can treat yourself at least once a year by golly, this IS THE STEAKHOUSE to visit in S.A. My wife and I at the very least visit Ruth's once a year and on rare ocassions, twice. The service is of the upmost and the steaks are just simply magnificant. Some bafoon in here wrote how he can buy a better steak at Sams and cook it better than Ruth's. Trust me, that is the most idiotic comment I've read. There is no, absolutely no, comparison on what you can ever make at home to what is served at Ruths Chris. These are USDA Choice-corn fed cattle. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE AND YOU CAN TASTE IT. The sides are very generous and my wife and I always split it. The creme-brulee is simply one of the best I have ever tasted. I recommend the Ribyeye steak. and for you guys like me that want a little more, I recommend the Cowboy-Cut Ribeye. It IS FILLING and just heavenly. If you have a wife and kids and know for a fact that you are not poverty stricken, you owe it to yourself to visit Ruth Chris's steakhouse at least once. It is a wonderful experience that all of us that work hard need to enjoy every once in a while. I know my wife and I do but you must splurge on yourself every once in a while. The people that are complaining about the prices did not fully enjoy the Ruth Chris experience. If you go and you start biting your nails because of what your afraid you might pay, I suggest you don't go. You'll ruin the experience. If you take the wifey like I like to do and you know you'll have a couple of beers or glasses of wine, followed by your main entrees, with a side finalized by a dessert, expect to throw down at least $120-$140. Trust me, you won't regret it. The food is just that good. : )
Pros: Steaks, Steaks, Steaks,
Cons: None, whatsoever

I had been downtown and got a hotdog with sauerkraut from a vendor. It was delicious, and so naturally I had 4 more. Right after I downed the last one, I had a rumbly in tumbly (and colon). I popped into Ruth Cris to use the bathroom, but they said that I had to wear a shirt and that drawing on my feet with markers doesn't count as shoes. I bet they're related to that scary Satan magician that comes on tv whose last name is also Chris.
Pros: you can grab handfuls of mints at the cash register before they stop you
Cons: People in there make retching sounds when they see you
