For my wife and I, Ruth’s Chris was a once a year or two thing for special occasions. Even years ago, it was a $300 dinner if we got a glass of wine, but eating a steak without a glass of Cabernet is criminal. They never disappointed. My wife passed a couple years ago, and I will probably never go back, but if she were still here, I would love to go back one more time.

It is cheaper but there's a difference between grilling a steak and cooking it in a high degree oven. And I'm not sure the beef will be the same quality. It is cheaper but a place like this provides more than the same beef for more dollars.

2 biggest factors. Aged prime beef expertly trimmed and the quick high temp cook. That and the strict adherence to company protocol and standards in the preparation of all dishes. Consistency or the lack of,, is the one factor that will drag down even the best of restaurants. Ruth's excels in this regard in my opinion.

I get my charcoal grill screaming hot with my Dewalt leaf blower before I throw my steaks on. Makes them great.

Dry-aged beef is where the flavor starts. I've always dry-age beef, then cut it into steaks. The first time was scary, but you learn from practice. You really taste the beef. The meat is so tender, and juicy. I've only dry-aged beef 12 days so far, since that was the last piece left. Always allow your steak to come to room temperature before grilling, baking, or frying. Seasoning: kosher salt and pepper. Simple. Set whatever you have to the highest temperature and cook. Chili with dry-aged beef is the bomb.

I love Ruth’s Chris. We eat there are couple times a year. In all my years I’ve only had one bad steak. It was a NY Strip in Richmond VA. I’ve never gone back. We took our German friends who were visiting in Naples FL. We took them to Ruth’s for dinner. We were buying so I told them to get anything they wanted, but a steak was mandatory. Germans love beef but there is nothing in Germany even close to American Prime steak. They looked at the prices and immediately went “secure” speaking German. I smiled and said “Don’t worry. It’s worth every penny.” Needless to say they dove in feet first and we had a great night and the $600 dinner bill was the best money I’d ever spent.

I have to agree that there is not always consistency between restaurants. In Orlando we had fantastic service and food! They even went so far as to keep a record of our favorite server, what wine we drank and our usual order down to desert! It was a wonderful dining experience! When we moved back to San Antonio we received the same excellent service and food at the Ruth’s Chris at Concord Plaza which was closest to our home. When we were unable to get reservations there when we wanted we decided to try the downtown San Antonio location assuming we would have the same experience. Boy were we wrong! The service was almost nonexistent and they acted like they were doing us a favor by waiting on us and the food was so much subpar that it wasn’t even enjoyable. I know most downtown or Riverwalk restaurants are overrated and over priced but never expected it from Ruth’s Chris. Even the prices were inflated! My family and I have worked in food service since 1976 and I always tip at least 20% even when service is just decent. Believe me they got a lot less than that from us that night!

There's no reason to eat a steak below medium-rare either, in tender cuts (filet, ribeye, and strip) it's where the flavor of beef peaks and medium-rare is more tender than rare. Many people even prefer ribeyes to be cooked a bit longer, you want to make sure the fat cap is cooked, to get even more flavor out of the cut.

Ruth's Chris' Steak House IS extra special!

They used to have an App called BBQ Shrimp. It was outta this world. Shrimp in a savory sauce served over mashed taters. Wow. I love Ruth's Chris, I think as big chains go, it's easily #1. Morton's used to be my fave, but in my very humble opinion, it's not nearly as good as it was years ago. Great video @Mashed, thanks. Watch out for your white shirt when the steaks hit the table. LOL

Best steakhouse!!

As a former employee of Ruth's Chris who worked the broiler which means ran the line every night. Not only cooked every steak but sold every check 500-800 ppl a night during December. Yes the steaks are fresh and prime but there is 0 cutting of steaks in the restaurant they are all pre packed and all we do is open lots and lots of packages of steaks for sale. Hot plates are also part of the job 500+ degree hot plates are on every item coming out of the kitchen. Live in Orlando Florida lot of steakhouses in the area cutting fresh meat daily Ruth's doesn't not that it really matters but in the video they talked about cutting their steaks was way before or after my stint with them its a quality product seasoning is just salt and pepper and hot plates add to the experience but don't think for 1 sec your steak being cut fresh that day bc its not. Darden recently bought the chain maybe they go back to that who knows. If ever in Orlando area alot of steakhouses cutting meat and fish daily this Restaurant doesn't cut anything. Just all open packages cook and serve. Wash rinse repeat..

Buy quality beef and stainless steel cookware. Salt and pepper your steak and leave it to dry out in the fridge overnight. Take it out for about an hour before cooking to bring it to room temp. Put a stainless steel pan on high (gas preferred). Wait for 5 minutes, then press your steak onto the pan, making sure it's flat. Leave for 3-5 minutes, until it pulls away without sticking. Turn, and repeat, making sure you have full contact of the steak on the pan. Put a knob of butter on it after you turn it. Your steak will be rare. Medium rare, have the oven set to 350 prior to starting your steak. Stick a knob of butter on top of the steak, and put in oven for 4-6 minutes for medium rare after you've seared it. Look up Chef John's old school potato recipes, make a nice salad, and you have a better meal than a steak house. Why? Because it's a quarter of the cost, you control the ambience and the setting, and nobody is waiting to take your table. The best part? No tip for bad service.

The steak served "sizzling" is a nonsense gimmick as a steak has to rest off the heat to hold its juices properly. Wet aging is also inferior to dry and is nothing but a way to hold onto water weight.

@@derekf5261 I have been to every single historically notable steakhouse in nyc and Ruth’s is easily top 3 depending on anyones preferences, but my personal favorite mostly bc they’re the only one w that 1800° oven and unmatched consistency across Ruth’s locations all over the world

Ruth’s Chris is a prime example of a steakhouse that got their formula down decades ago and never bothered improving or changing anything with the times. They have zero grass fed options on the menu.

@ 5:30 in the video, the one in Cherokee at Harrahs is kinda off but Knoxville and Atlanta are always hits

When I went to Panama I ate at a RC and I'll never forget how delicious that filet was even though it was expensive as hell ut well worth it

NOTE: Genuine "Prime" Steaks are available at Walmart. Yes, Walmart.

People, those Prime Steaks are horrible. I have sampled it everywhere: Ralphs (Krogers) Costco, Walmart, they are ALL Low Grade Prime. What you get is just USDA Choice , that is hyped up by Inspectors... That is EXACTLY what it tastes like...I will untie the shoe laces of those inspectors and challenge them.

Prime is NOT young beef. It's graded by the fat content or marbling. More marble, higher grade.

I was hoping someone would say this in the comments. That comment in the video hit a nerve with me.

Damn, now I want some steak.

My brother and our families went to Ruth's Chris in San Diego. He was in the US Navy at the time. My brother ordered a porterhouse and made sure the waiter pass his requirements onto the grill master. He had to send the steak back THREE (3) times before my brother accepted it. By that time the beef was DRY. The restaurant manager didn't charge us for the meals we all ate as his way of apologizing for the disaster. Worst part of it was that my brother treasured Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and it let him down when he wanted to show my family just how good a meal could be. He never forgot that incident.

I was served one of the saddest cuts of filet mignon at a Ruth's Chris once. I was with work colleagues, and they both had the same order, and theirs looked great, but mine looked like someone put a hamburger patty and gristle through a meat grinder. I choked it down because I didn't want to be seen as a complainer, but I did mention it to the manager. They ended up comping the meal, which might have puzzled my colleagues a bit. So, service, yes, very good, but I wish I had gotten to taste a great steak. Maybe another time.

Ruth Chris is ok but The Capital Grille to me is a notch better like everything I ate or drank was phenomenal.

I accept that, like most chains Ruth's Chris hasn't kept quality the same as years ago and varies widely by location, Capital Grille is also smaller and seemed to keep things more consistent even after they were bought out And not to knock Ted's (I liked his steaks better than his colorized movies), but they aren't really competing in this segment.

My sons and I meeting Ruth's Chris Steak House in Reno, NV twice a year.

Perry’s Steakhouse can’t be beat. Food and service is phenomenal and much better that RC.

Certainly one of the better ‘chain’ steakhouses; but I’ve always found most of their dishes to be much too greasy (and I consider myself a butter lover). There are two local steakhouses where I live that provide much better steaks and sides, in my humble opinion.

I have to agree. We had a dinner at Ruth's Chris while on our anniversary trip. Way too much butter and fat in every dish. I felt sick part way through. Our local steakhouse is hands down superior, and 1/3 of the price

Had a meal at Ruth’s Chris in Washington D. C. in March 2012. Ordered the fish mains. Well, it arrived swimming in butter. It was like 1/4” deep across the plate. Couldn’t finish it. It really put me off. Seriously gag-worthy. The service, mind you, was exemplary but I’ve never been back.

Bone in rib-eye medium rare with extra char that my go to and I really miss the Lyonnaise potatoes back in the day as they say.

Grain or corn is necessary to add fat throughout the meat, referred to as marbling. Marbling is also necessary in tenderizing the beef.

I went to one, once. Never again. The steak was very different from what I had ordered straight out of the menu (not what I ordered) and the service was so-so. I didn't speak out as much I would have as I was the guest of a friend.

Cant afford steak anymore, anyone seen the price of red meat these days, especially steaks :O/

That is why you learn about cuts of meats. And when certain cuts of meat go on sale. You cut your own steaks, for more than half off

The Palm was voted No 1 recently...Peter Luger is my all time favorite though...

Ribeye then that Cheesecake to go is the ticket!

The real reason for the hot plate thing is so the rare/edium rare meat stays warm while you eat it. If a plate is room temp or colder the plate cools the meat the moment you put it there. Lil restaurant secret 😉 your welcome

Been to one, in Mishawaka, IN. I was never more disappointed and unimpressed with a more overpriced steak. On top of that, a classy young couple had their infant with them, and the infant spent 30 solid minutes singing us all the song of his people. The parents didn't have the decency to take the child outside or to the restroom to calm it down... and Ruth's Chris Mishawaka's manager didn't apparently care enough about the rest of the customers to ask them to get their little darling under control. I'll never make that mistake again.

I haven’t had a bad steak from Ruth yet. They don’t miss.

There is no secret. Ruth's Chris manages their kitchen and their dining room better than competition. The food is not better. Much less goes wrong because Ruth's is designed tor prevent things from going wrong. Here are just 5: 1 Candles on a table can cause a fire, so they use an LED that looks like a candle, 2 Because the steak is served on a hot plate, it does not get cold while a customer is eating, 3 Restrooms are always clean and never out of order, 4 Knives and forks are well balanced and easy to use, 5 Seating is more comfortable than at other places.

I went to a popular restaurant in Albuquerque, a very big popular place. The plates were hot they said, they used towels to place plates on the table. Except the plates were not hot at all, they just made it seem hot, food was disgustingly cold. Beware of the, "This plate is hot trick." Most of the people there were too drunk to notice as alot of alcohol is served immediately.

All these top end steak houses are overrated. I’be yet to have a steak at a restaurant that was as good as a steak I can make at home.

yummy

I took clients to Ruth's in El Paso. 10 people and 6 steaks had to be sent back because they were not cooked according to the orders. They then overcooked the same steaks and returned them to us. Paid $2,000 bill that night for worse steaks than we would have gotten at Golden Corral.

Pete and Drake...So..."10 people and 6 steaks had to be sent back because they were not cooked according to the orders." That is terrible. I would be upset too if I had ordered a medium rare person and I was served someone well done. I hope the kitchen cooked you another person and got the order correct; a medium rare person still has a unique human flavor but well done just tastes like regular beef.

@@peteanddrake4242 That was an expensive disappointing dinner...ouch..!! in my comment, I was poking fun at your second sentence where it reads that you had to send the 10 people back along with the steaks because they were not cooked properly...lol..! I had visions of Cannibals putting those 10 people in a big pot and boiling them to death and then eating them. I have never been to Ruth's Chris and probably never will unless an unknown relative dies and I inherit a lot of money. My son is very good at grilling Ribeye and I have learned from him. As the video explained, very high heat is one of the key factors and that is what Iearned from my son. I was doing more baking than high heat searing and what a difference that makes. Of course having a high quality cut of meat can make a difference, but not enough that I would spend hundreds of dollars...and even more with today's sky high inflation on food ( thank you very much...Biden...Grrrr..!! ). Yes, having a nice atmosphere and ambience is part of the overall experience, but grilling out under big Oak trees and out in rural America is itself a great atmosphere. Anyway...next time I hope you have better luck with cooking your guests...lol..!!
