    We recently celebrated our anniversary at Ruth's Chris Steak House and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for our special night. We requested a booth where we could sit side by side and the staff was more than accommodating, making us feel truly special. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly while the hostesses were equally lovely, contributing to the overall welcoming vibe of the restaurant. Now let’s talk about the food; everything we ordered was exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and bursting with flavor, and I must say the wedge salad was the best I have ever had, fresh, crisp, and dressed just right. Plus we found it to be a great value for such a high-quality dining experience. It was the perfect setting to celebrate our special day and we left with full hearts and satisfied palates. Thank you Ruth's Chris for making our anniversary truly memorable; we can’t wait to return for our next celebration!

    Asked for a box because we had about half our 16oz left. Got home and realized they only gave us what was left of our sides and none of the steak.

    A Fun “Old School” restaurant which has a great menu. Prime Rib sandwich and Caesar salad are tops! We love the interior of the restaurant- recommend the owners spruce up the exterior- looks “tired”. Highly recommend!
