Very good. Price depends on a lot of factors. Appetizers, a few drinks, dessert, bottle of wine?

Just count on spending around $150. That is without a nice bottle of wine.

I might go if I was in BR. Wouldn't go to the one here or other big cities with better options.

I have eaten at probably 40-50 prime steakhouses around the country and i have only had 2 I would put before Ruths
Rosebud steakhouse in Chicago and bones in Atlanta
What ruths does so well is consistency. It is the same everytime.
Plan on about 120 for 2 steaks, 2 sides and an appetizer.

I agree. Don't order the lobster. Market price is french for your about to get screwed.

Went to the one in BR last week for lunch and it was not good. Filets were overcooked and it ruined the meal. Manager was very responsive, however.

In BR I think Flemmings is the better date spot.

If going to the BR location, make sure to wear a backwards ballcap, affliction-style button down, and torn jeans so you'll blend in.

Usually around $150-$175 depending on the bottle of wine or dessert.

That's usually:

App or Soup
2 Salads
2 Steaks
1 Side
1 Bottle of Wine
1 Dessert

You'll be fine on the meal, but you'll prob have to come out of pocket to tip.

And get the steak. There was a time I didn't eat red meat for about a year or two, and not getting the steak on a trip to RC was one of my worst life decisions.

My wife and I just celebrated our 21st anniversary there two weeks ago. I have to say that I never think about Ruth's Chris when we eat out in town.

We had an excellent meal in every aspect, from the valet guy, hostess, service and food. We each had salads to start, me the caesar and the wife, a bleu cheese wedge (the bacon on hers was incredible). The filets were cooked perfectly, and the sides, asparagus with hollandaise, and creamed spinach were very good. We enjoyed a Bordeaux blend that complimented our meal perfectly.

All this set us back $203 before tip. Kinda spendy but well worth it. Would definitely dine again.

eta: we also bumped into the OT's favorite endodontist Gwen Corbett on the way out.
