We had a great meal here recently. KP and Quinn took very good care of us. Everything was perfect, and they even split a steak for us. They are really for the eater. They will do just about anything you want pertaining to their menu. We had a great evening. Can’t wait to return again soon! (Forgot to get pics of our entrées.)

The food looked very good, however the taste reminded me of Chillies. We ordered the lobster bisk and it was very bland. For the main course we got the crab cakes, which did not taste like they were seasoned at all. The sause they used on the spicy salmon and shrimp reminded me of Chillies Bar-B-Q sause. The sweet potato casserole was amazing, but the container it was in was ridiculously hot. Service was OK, the atmosphere started nice with 40’s music then went to something that sounded like emo music.

Family were excited to be in town and try this place since you hear so much a out it. Hmm the atmosphere was lovely. Despite having reservations and confirming we were enroute we still had to wait for another table to be prepared and was what seated in what appeared to be an extension of the restaurant. Beautiful greenery and cool but been nice to be in the original indoor location. Our waitress was very nice and even played along with my son whom she made a string wax figure for. I had the ribeye and short ribs. The steak was a little tougher than my liking but it was okay taste wise. The short ribs with mash well let’s just say I should left that where it was. It was tender some but the red sauces bitter awful taste two bites and I was done. I can say

Celebrated a birthday here and had a great experience. We started with crab beignets and heirloom tomatoes and cheese. Crab beignets have never had and would order again. Tomato salad was good. The petite ribeye and filet were great and fish was delicious as well. Chase was our waiter and he was great. Easy to park. My first time to this location and would go again

The food was decadent they never fail to amaze. The steak comes out on an extremely hot plate that allows the steak to cook some while on the plate. It was so good!! I absolutely loved it all!! Definitely my go to for special occasions.

Restaurant used to be located at the Ballast hotel but has moved to its own location across the street. The service was great and the decor was elegant. Normally, I would get a steak, but I decided on the short ribs. The meat was tender, and so was hubby’s steak, despite him getting it well done. Ordered one side, which was enough for both of us. Oh, the pineapple martini was yummy.

Downtown view with outside seating. Inside seating has soft lighting with a nonhustle and bustling atmosphere. Free Valet Parking, we always leave with leftovers due to the generous amounts served. Excellent customer service!

Stopped in at the bar at Ruth’s Chris for a quick solo dinner. Got a lovely booth at the bar. Enjoyed an excellent Pinot with crab cake beignets and ahi tuna. The apple crumble desert was heavenly. Jasmine was a star. She made me feel welcomed and at home for my solo meal. Expectations exceeded!

My once a year visit did not disappoint. I love the new location. The parking garage being attached to the restaurant (level 3) is a game changer. Outside and inside seating. A lot of room. The table where I was seated needs to be moved. Chair and a booth table, the person sitting on the booth side has to sit on the crack where the two cushions meet. Not comfortable. Antonio made sure we had water and bread consistently. Good job. KJ was a great man (thanks for allowing me to test my skills with the scraper!). Austin, you’re the man! Great service and thanks for the dessert first! I’ll see y’all next year.

Absolutely fabulous happy hour at Ruth’s Chris Steak House!!! Can’t say enough good about the quality of the food tonight. The menu choices were outstanding! The tenderloins with mushrooms & salad were to die for!!! We ordered it twice!! The shrimp was so delicious! The steak sandwich was a delight with the light bread and dressing with awesome bearnaise sauce!!
