Ruth's Chris Steak House was founded in New Orleans, Louisiana by Ruth Fertel, a single mother of two who wanted a better life for herself and her two sons. She purchased "Chris" steakhouse in New Orleans which had been operated for 38 years prior. She changed the name to Ruth's Chris when a fire forced her to move from the original location. Today, there are 142 Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurants across the globe.

    Top notch dining experience. I was a first timer and I’m for sure going back. For the price, what a value. Can’t say enough good about this steakhouse.

    Special occasion dining. Went for my mother-in-laws 88 birthday. Steaks were cooked perfectly. And they were delicious. As were the sides. Service was great. My only complaint - high mark-up on wines.

    The hostess was very accommodating since my party grew from 4 to 6. She move is without any attitude and was very very nice. I so appreciate her. She made our girls night enjoyable.

    We have been to Ruth Chris over the years probably over 100 times. This night was not good. First they sat us down and we sat for a little bit and then had us move & didn’t know why. My wife’s rib eye was tougher than usual and the service was terrible. I had to ask 3 times to get my water glass filled. We ordered the shoestring fries and they brought out the wrong fries and then the shoestring fries were half the amount we used to get and they were soggy. Just overall not good. Living in a big city and going to a top name steak house you would think it would be a whole lot better than it was. Not sure if we would come back. Oh & the manager never came by any of the tables to ask customers how their dining experience was. Curt Davis -309-427-9337

    We had another great meal at Ruth Chris in St. Pete. Great service. I love that on NYE they don’t have a limited set expensive menu.

    Went on NYE for a nice dinner and boy was that a shi! Sho* our reservation was at 8pm- not a midnight seating. Zero martini glasses, zero app plates and they had ran out of a desert as well. My husband’s steak came out as medium well and he asked for medium rare. When mentioning that to the waiter his response was “yes, will that work for you”. Um, no sir, this is not a $100 steak that we ordered. Such a juvenile and rickshaw time at Ruth’s Chris. Yeesh, pull it together St Pete location
