Ruth Chris is overpriced and gross
I call bullshite. Nothing gross about a steak house of this quality...a damn bit more than I care to spend for a good steak, but that's what quality steak houses charge. Are you one of those vegetarians?

Ruth Chris is only liked by people around here b/c it was started in NOLA.... hate to say it but (now) its a far cry from being NOLA good.

I am sure it was GREAT in the 60's and 70's

Yet, they open a couple new restaurants per year all across the world. They have built an empire....if they really were serving gross steaks, this would not have been possible at their price point.

i think most people dont even know it started in NOLA

most considering it a chain in their eyes, not a local restaurant. But everyone knows they know how to cook a steak

yeah, it's def a chain with 100+ locations. Haven't they relocated their headquarters to FL anyway?

it's overpriced, but they do cook a good steak.

Since people want to ask what is different. Can someone answer this?

If I do prefer a USDA Prime Steak from say Little Village and it only costs me 28 dollars and comes with sides.

Why would I want to eat at Ruths and pay more? I really dont care what temp their broiler gets up to or if it were cooked sous-vide. Why shouldnt taste buds and wallet rule the decision?

I recently did a taste test at LV and RC. I prefer RC. It is simply better in all categories.

BTW: They pushed their bread on me. I didn't take the bait. Amateurs.
