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 Good

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

User Reviews for Ruth's Chris Steak House

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We go here a lot to celebrate special occassions. We love the food and the service. You must try the sweet potato caserole. I wasn't a fan of sweet potato until I tried this one. It is delicious! We recommend you make reservations. We always do and we request our favorite waiter becuase he knows just what we like. He makes sure we're taken care of. The prices are pretty expensive but if you don't mind spending a little more for quality then this is the place to try.

Pros: great ambience, great food, and great service

Cons: none

2 Star Rating: Below Average

My husband and I decided to go for New Year's Eve '06 because we'd heard how good it was. It did NOT live up to it's reputation. We both had the steak and it was gamey and full of gristle with absolutely no flavor. Our steaks also arrived overcooked and when we pointed this out to the server, she informed us that was how we ordered them, NOT TRUE. The service was slow and the waitress did not listen to our requests for no sour cream on the potatoes. This is not a good value for money, I'd recommend going to Texas Roadhouse instead. Their steaks are always cooked right, the wait staff is friendly and active and it's a much better value for the money.

Pros: Parking

Cons: Service, food
