Thoughts? Other than Ruth's I'm not typically a big fan of chains, but have heard good things about Flemings. Any reviews and/or advice on what to order would be great. Got a gift card and need to use it at some point.

It's a steak house.

Prime bone-in ribeye is as good as any steak in the area.

thanks @LSUAfro I love Ruth's Chris and have a tendency to compare all filets to theirs, so thanks for that rec! I've heard their scallops are incredible too.

I do not like chains either, but I am always blown away by Flemings. The drinks, appetizers, salads, steaks and desserts are excellent! You will not be disappointed. Let us know what you think after you go.

Bone in Ribeye is very good.

I like the Seafood tower. The steaks are good. Last I heard from a friend was the service was really bad one night. Let me know how your service is Princess, I would love to go back.

Service - GREAT.
Bone in Ribeye- Excellent
Lamb chops - really good flavor but a little on the salty side. I tend to over-salt so that was fine with me but i think the average person would have found it too salty.
Sides were very good, and like everyone says- the chocolate lava desert was awesome!

I dont think I would regularly eat here because for a steak dinner, Ruth's Chris is still the best IMO. I would like to try some of their seafood options though. However, we were pleased! There were not many people there at all. the parking lot was completely full though, so i'm assuming people had spilled over from Carrabas and Changs?

I'm admittedly biased, but I'd take Fleming's for a fine dining steak any day.

The bone-in ribeye is my go-to cut, so I think you chose wisely.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Fleming's is a solid chain. I've always had very good food there and excellent service. Everything always seems to run smoothly.

As others have said, bone in rib eye is awesome. Their filet is not as good as Ruth's IMO.

Not so much now that she married that idiot, but I do like dancing to her music. People tell me I look exactly like her, so.
