Best steakhouse chain

by stlynch602

Best steaks I've ever eaten. Worth the price. I've been to one in San Fran, Hawaii, Phoenix and all of them were good. Everything is ala cart so it can be expensive but it's worth it.

• Pros: Best steaks
• Cons: none

Sophisticated American chain serves up corn-fed USDA prime cuts and New Orleans-style appetizers and sides.

by Tara 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.

• Pros: incredible steaks
• Cons: can be pricey

Decadent dishes and exquisite service to match.

I have never eaten a meal at this location and been disappointed. The standard of quality that Ruth's Chris executes with every meal is superb. When my husband and I decide to treat ourselves to magical meal this is the place to visit. Some of our favorites from the menu include Appetizer's:The succulent barbecue shrimp which is great when paired with the complimentary loaf of bread that is served at every table, you just dip it in the extra sauce of the shrimp. We also love the lobster bisque, so sweet, silky and rich with tender pieces of lobster mixed in. Dinner: All cuts of Beef are phenomenal. My favorite is the New York strip. Cooked to order and cooked to perfection. Don't needed to add much to the butter, salt & pepper topping. On our recent visit they served a special of Kobe beef topped with Jumbo barbecue shrimp. Delicious. They are an industry leader for steaks. Dessert: What trip would be complete without their flawless Creme Brulee. Creamy, sweet and loaded with vanilla goodness. It will leave you licking your spoon.

The only thing that makes this meal better is the four star service. Our frequent server Ken is the consummate professional. He makes you feel as if you are his only table in the room. You are treated like a VIP from the moment you walk in the door. They are great for special occasions and you can make reservations on-line. Register with your birthday and anniversary information and they will send you a coupon to celebrate.

Don't miss out on a magical meal.

• Pros: Consistent quality & service, Ambience, Flavor
• Cons: They fill up fast during tourist season

best steak nationwide

by chauncey80

i reall dont like upsclae chain restaurnats...but this place is a classic for steak. i love the steaks that come out on a sizzling butter plate and the top of the steak is still bubbling from the intense heat of their ovens. they scorch them at a 1200 degree burning oven. the sides are all fresh and excellent. they new york strip is the best cut. between a filet but not as fatty as a ribeye. vanilla soy sour cream cheese cake is to die for. I believe adam is our regular server here. great, curteous, formal service

• Pros: best steaks ever
• Cons: none

Steak.. at it's FINEST!!!!

by azsteve

Been to many of Ruth's.. Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, San Diego, Las Vegas, and now that I live in Arizona.. I drive 120 miles to satisfy my steak appetite in Phoenix at either the Scottsdale or Camelback locations. Every time we go.. it is truly an enjoyable eating experience. We have NEVER had to complain on anything we ordered. For those reviewers that complain about the price.. there is always Denny's.. and if you bring along the children.. well.. this is not a McDonalds. Come with your partner.. and sit back and enjoy a wonderful meal served by a staff of professional people. You will relish every bite... I PROMISE!!

• Pros: Food Quality, Service, Atmosphere
• Cons: Open one in Tucson

Best Steaks in the World

by cindylouwho1999

The readers who are giving Ruth's Chris poor reviews are obviously accustomed to eating at Denny's. I've traveled all over the world and experienced a wide range of dining experiences, and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (the Camelback Road location) is still, for my money, the absolute best in the world. Their steaks are unsurpassed and the sides are first-rate. The sides are very, very large, and if you split them, you'll find that you get fine value for your dollar. The service is impeccable. The staff who have waited on me have always catered to my every whim. I will always be a faithful Ruth's Chris devotee. They are the best!

• Pros: The Steaks, Ambience, Service
• Cons: None

Melt in your mouth steaks!

by jpmyer

The steaks at Ruth's Chris are delicious. The steaks arrive on a hot sizzling plate. It's almost as if the steaks are covered in butter. It's the best steak that I've ever had, and I'm from Nebraska. The meat capital of the world.

• Pros: Leave very full
• Cons: Very Pricey

Don't order lobster at a steak house....

by robinpraytor

The Scottsdale restaurant served one of the worst meals I've had. Ordered lobster. Service was exceedngly slow and when the meal arrived, the lobsters were over cooked, dry and rubbery. The manager was summoned and appeared 15 minutes later. After pointedly inspecting our clothing and watches he said he was sorry we didn't "like" the lobster and offered a free desert but would not replace our order with something edible. When I asked for a cup of coffee it came ice cold -- I mean ICE COLD. The waiter admitted that he probably grabbed an old pot from earlier in the afternoon -- I think they just wanted us to leave. Another 10 minutes to get a replacement cup. Without the free desert, we paid the $185 bill (no tip). Fortunately, all of the Pointe restaurants are excellent and have a better wine selection.

• Cons: , Pooly Prepared Food, Haughty Help
