I go because I like it, love the broiled tomatoes and one of their salads (heirloom IIRC). MrsBears and I went just a couple weeks ago for no particular reason & no gift card.

i had always heard that ruths patented theirs. gets to 1800 degrees and whatnot. flemings gets to 1500-1600 and is built sort of the same way.
The one at Fleming's cooks at 1600.
And yeah, this thread is weird.

Best steak I have ever had in my entire life. It's my favorite restaurant.

and you've been to French Laundry?
I wonder if this says more about your taste in food or in Ruth's inherent quality?

Patent
Alot of accuracy in these posts. Jones, BRG, and Gris are right.
Ruth's came up with the "1st" 1800 degree broiler thats still used today. Many other steakhouses have similiar designs/temps.... But not identical due to the patent restrictions. I am pretty sure Vulcan held their manufacturing rights at one time...

The only steak place that I think is of ok value and is truly unique is La Boca.
La Boca puts Ruth's Chris to shame, imo. I don't mind going to Ruth's if someone insists, but I just think there are better options for steaks. At least in N.O.

I actually like their seared tuna and crab cake apps for a chain restaurant.
I've always had a quality cut of meat whether it was a ribeye, filet, or strip. Only complaint I've had was overcooking my steak.(asked for medium rare, had a medium well steak)

Because the cowboy ribeye is great.

Ruth's Chris is great. I have grown to enjoy other steakhouses more but it's really good. I don't find them consistent from location to location though, some are better than others. Also, over time they have changed the way they make certain things, not always for the better. Lyonaise potatoes, wedge salad, and sliced tomato and onion salad come to mind.

You should read "The Empress of Steak and The Gorilla man".
It's the story of Ruth's Chris written by Randy Fertel, Ruth's youngest son.
Interesting read, lots of info on the origins of this legendary New Orleans restaurant, and his parents. His dad was kinda of kook, some truly unique New Orleans stories in there.

To feel important and to act like I'm rich and have all kinds of money to throw around. To get away from all the common folk dining.

Strange reasons to choose a restaurant.
