Ruth Chris was already the Chili's of steakhouses. Who cares?

BTW, Olive Garden and Longhorn are not terrible restaurants. They are just chain restaurants so it is what it is.

Maybe now they will enforce their dress code. The one in BR is getting bad.

Why would you continue to go to a restaurant if 33% of your visits are bad?

Agreed…they have become very inconsistent with their steaks over the past 6-8 months.

They just opened a Capital Grille here and it's pretty good. Not the best steakhouse in town, but neither is RC (the RC here is just decent).

Ruth's Chris is a good choice for a steak dinner if there isn't another steakhouse choice in town.

Meh, I'd like to think there are better steakhouses in Louisiana than a chain restaurant, no?

I disagree. Olive Garden is worse than terrible.

You're talking about an Italian joint that is too cheap to salt their water/pasta because it made their pots not last as long. You can't do anything with that.

Downvote it if you want, but it is the truth. You can't argue the truth.

I can’t find any worthwhile Italian joints in Lafayette. Carabba’s is another chain. iMonelli’s is overrated crap. Romacelli’s is okay though

Any Italian food with any amount of flavor at all is better than OG. How a place can make such a variety of "Italian" dishes with absolutely no flavor is beyond me. It shouldn't even be possible, yet they manage it consistently.
