Ruth's Chris Steak House

Never disappoints!

We went again this week and the place is always fantastic. You can't go wrong and this is usually true of any Ruth's Chris location in the country. However, the Charlotte location is the best!

Great Experience!

by Rob07 at Citysearch

We'll make any excuse to come here, although we don't come as often as we'd like. Our waiters have been very attentive, and we always feel speical. We love the steak, of course. The filet is so good, we haven't been able to try other entrees. The au gratin sides are excellent, and the desserts are HUGE. You get a whole mini cheesecake... not just a slice!

Best Steak!

by aferrell123 at Citysearch

The best dinner i've had in a long time. This was my first time dining at Ruth's Chris. Starting with valet everyone made me feel so welcome.

Now for the good stuff. We started with the calamari. Before i went everyone told me how great the calamari was. Well, it lived up to the hype. Fantastic!

My friend had the filet and i had a ribeye. I love a great steak, and this was the best i ever had. loved everything and can't wait to go back.

Best Steakhouse in Charlotte

by James Sr at Citysearch

We dine at this Ruth's Chris on a regular basis. It's by far the best steakhouse in Charlotte. The filet is always melt in your mouth tender and it's always cooked just the way you ask. We have tried other restaurants in the area, but we keep coming back because they do everything right.

We recommend the Filet "oscar" style for an entree; sweet potatoes, garlic butter mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach for sides; and the chocolate explosion and cheese cake for dessert. However, you really can't go wrong with any selection on their menu. Make sure to try the great wine as well!

• Pros: Unbelievable food, great service
• Cons: Valet takes the front parking spots

Steak divine - don't go during Rest Week

by Writejen at Citysearch

Restaurant week is not the ideal time to judge a place - it's packed, and waiters and chefs are harried. In normal circumstances, this is a very nice place. The tall, older blond head waiter was very nice when he thought we were not one of the masses of people descending for Restaurant Week. When not, he was obviously full of contempt. It's silly - be nice regardless - and do not laugh in your sleeve at customers, because if they like it they'll be back for real - or just be nice because you should be. Dessert was hurled onto the table - it was odd, but again - Restaurant Week. The back waiter was very conscientious and polite.

Prices aren't that scary - one saves about half with Rest Week, though I'm sure there are customers who purchase more expensive wine. You can expect to pay $60 normally for a full meal minus drinks. (Sorry for talking brass tacks - but Ruth's Chris is cheaper and better than most other high-star steak places.) The cheaper wine is not the best and is in smaller portions - spring a few more dollars, ask for the wine steward's help, and get a bottle.

The food is divine. The meat was better than Del Friscos at its best time (not Rest Week). The sides and dessert were good but not memorable. The steak was the best ever tasted. Seriously very good. It came sizzling in butter on a hot plate, and the temperature, tenderness, and taste were perfect.

• Pros: Steak is best ever tasted
• Cons: Waitstaff needs to serve "masses" as well as elite
