In Short – This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
It's not on the menu, but consider ordering your steak "Oscar style," which means it's topped with asparagus, crab cakes and bearnaise sauce.
The Extras:
Personalized gift certificates are available and may be redeemed at any location in the U.S. or Canada.

  1. This Ruth Chris has a lobster tank so the lobster is fresh, if they are going to serve fake tea why not just put some frozen lobster in the microwave.
  2. fiend took me there for birthday luncheon-I had called 3 days ahead to check on their menu- hostess told me they had salmon and sea bass as fish entrees- I asked her to double check they had these for lunch- when we arrived no sea bass- told me they onl

  4. If Ruth Chris can have an espresso machine to make cappuccino brewing fresh ice tea should be within their skill set.

very disappointed

by emuno

A fiend took me there for birthday luncheon-I had called 3 days ahead to check on their menu- hostess told me they had salmon and sea bass as fish entrees- I asked her to double check they had these for lunch- when we arrived no sea bass- told me they only serve this evening meals-the waiter left all the dirty dishes on the table in between servings and finally when I asked if he would please bring me a coffee cup to share my friends carafe of coffee he forgot-food was mediocre-Sean Hannity praises this place-boy is he mistaken

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: poor service food average

Good Steaks, BAD Ice Tea, Poor Value, Atlanta has better choices

by bbqisart

I dined at the downtown Ruth Chris steakhouse (located in an Embassy Suites Hotel) on November 10, 2008. After ordering an Ice Tea, I noted a chemical after taste. I inquired of our waiter if the Ice Tea was brewed and he advised that it was "from a box." I have dined in a Ruth Chris in South Florida that did not serve fake/instant tea. I was shocked to lear that rather than taking the time to brew Ice Tea, would use boxed syrup/concentrate. I think Ruth Chris founder, Ruth Fertel would turn over in her grave if she knew one of her franchisees in the South was serving "boxed" tea. Would Ruth Chris serve instant coffee? This Ruth Chris has a lobster tank so the lobster is fresh, if they are going to serve fake tea why not just put some frozen lobster in the microwave. If Ruth Chris can have an espresso machine to make cappuccino brewing fresh ice tea should be within their skill set.

I concur with Zagat's survey which gives higher marks to national chain competitors, Mortons and The Capital Grille as well as Atlanta favorite Bone. When it comes to $35.00 steaks with no side dishes, Atlanta has much better choices than Ruth Chris. Even Outback brews fresh Ice Tea.

  • Pros: Good Steaks
  • Cons: They do not brew their Ice Tea ... its from a box of concentrate

Worth the wait!

by mark

For years I have wanted to try the infamous Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. My experience was worth the wait. We started in the bar for a cocktail and the bartender was very welcoming and poured a generous drink. We were promptly seated at our reservation time and our waitress had excellent attention to detail. I started with the wedge salad and was pleased with the preparation. For main course, I tried the Petite Filet and Shrimp. The filet was medium, exactly how requested. The shrimp were huge Gulf Shrimp and were very fresh. I was delighted. Overall, the dining experience was excellent for food, service and atmosphere.

Just another average (and pricy) restaurant...

by leahmcc311

We went here with a group of 15 people, the service was poor, and the food tasted (for the most part) like it came out of a box. EVERY person's steak had to be sent back because it was undercooked, and the scalloped potatoes tasted like those ones that you pour out of the box and just add milk. I think it took about an hour to get our food.
