Ruth’s Chris Steak House

Finally got to eat at this steakhouse and wow it was definitely a stand alone place for an amazing steak. It easy destroyed outback (of course) like a Ferrari vs a pinto. Took a few minutes (10 or so) for our waiter *BRANDON* to come to our table. We were first served water but shortly got our tea. Ordered our food another 15 minutes later, do to my inexperience of just steak and a few seafood choices for a menu. As we waited for our, three steaks and one lobster plus sides, we were given some bread and butter. Finally we hear sizzles, it wasn’t our food… but not long after we got our food and it’s was as I said prior to the rest of the reveiw, a Ferrari (or any stunning, just wow thing you can think of). Will eventually go back I’m sure, will just have to wait for the wallet to get plump again as it is an expensive but worthy meal.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and hardest working business owner at any restaurant I frequent.

I’ve always been a fan of a good steak and this place has mastered it. The service begins the moment you sit down and the staff is always friendly and ready to enhance your experience. I’m normally a wine drinker but I’ve been dipping into cocktails and the lemon drop here is awesome! The salad I ordered was presented in a creature way and its definitely visual stimulation. My steak… ohhhh the steak… So fricking good the steak was cooked to perfection, butter dripping of the sides and it just melts in your mouth. I cant speak enough about the quality of meat. On to dessert, I’ve had the cheesecake before but this time I don’t think it set well because it was really soft and I have way better there. Would I come here again ABSOLUTELY!

The food and service is always great. Can’t go wrong. The only setback, and it’s enough to cost a 5^th star is its inability to attract customers under the age of 60 on a regular basis. It could use a little vibrancy.
Am I being too harsh??? Owner, Chris, is a great guy.

My review is directed at Ruth Chris as a take out option. I met a friend to dine al fresco and the upscale touches really made our impromptu outdoor feast memorable.
I called my order in during the busy lunch hours and was impressed by the cordial greeting and the calm steady manner of the person taking the order. She repeated the order to insure it was correct, gave me a total and when I could expect it to be ready. I arrived a bit early, received a warm greeting by the host who cheerfully ushered me to a group of chairs along the bar to wait for my order. As I sat down he asked me if I needed anything to drink while I waited.
The Bartender stopped by with the bill and offered to take care of the check so I could grab my food and go. Very considerate in my opinion, because it means the food temp will stay on point as long as possible. My order arrived hot and nicely packed in a sturdy bag. The host proceeded to pick up the different packages and confirm everything was there and asked if I needed anything else. Great customer service for a small takeout order.
The food was excellent. I ordered Chicken Chris, garlic mashed potatoes, Caesar Salad and Lobster Bisque. The Lobster Bisque was creamy and packed with flavor but could have used a bit more lobster bits. The boneless breaded Chicken breast was so tender and flavorful it could have stood alone, but paired with the Lemon Butter sauce it made each bite a rapturous delight for the pallet. The garlic mash and Caesar salad were both well prepared and went well with the Chicken. A hot loaf of bread was included but it took crusty to a whole new level of teeth cracking crusty (overlooked it cause everything else was great).
The portions were enough for 2, partly because of the richness, on everything but the bisque. The $ 10.00 a cup price was a bit high based on the very small portion and lack of lobster bits! I would definitely do this again, but next time we are going to order the Mushrooms stuffed with Crab meat. I saw them go by while I waited and they really looked yummy!
I rate this experience a 4 ½ (Lobster Bits) but Unilocal doesn’t allow that so I am going to round up and recommend you give them a try.

Checked out this spot while in town, close to my hotel so what the hell. I felt a bit under dressed in dickey shorts and a T-​shirt but the service was great and the pork chops and green beans were very good. The Chop was perfectly prepared and it had sliced green apple in a cinnamon sauce. Very good stuff. Check it out

The wife and I and my parents ate here in late June for a combined wedding anniversary and Father’s Day, and as usual the experience was outstanding. I’ve been eating here perhaps twice a year since 2002, and the consistency of this RC’s is amazing. My bone-​in ribeye was perfect, crispy on the edges, reddish in the center, and oh so succulent at the bone! Lyonaise potatoes and onion rings were delicious, and the scalloped potatoes were sinful, overflowing with cheese. To top it off, they gave the wife and I a free blueberry cheesecake for our anniversary. Everything tastes so good here and the wait-​staff is impeccable.
This place has an established, old school feel, caters to politicians and visiting celebrities, the décor is dark walnut paneling and dim romantic lighting. Perfect for me!

Great customer service, i went in and there wasn’t a bartender. No deal for me but the manager heard and paid for the beer a drank. Like i said not a big deal but its the little things restaurants do that make me want to go back, as for the steak i had the cowboy ribeye, cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes melted in my mouth.

Ribeye was excellent. Blueberries cheesecake was good also. Parking is not an issue. Service is great.

Where can I begin? Every time I come back, I’m reminded of why I absolutely love this place. From the initial welcome by Chris (by your name) at the hostess stand, to your farewell from your waiter, it is always a perfect experience. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. He quickly brought out our drinks and crabtini appetizer, which we split. It was delicious. Next, he brought out our salads and soup– both the Caesar and lobster bisque were great. Next, our sizzling filets (500 degree plates!) and yummy sides (creamed spinach and potatoes) arrive. Perfect timing for everything and attentive server. The service is always spot on! I wish others would take note. And of course — the food is absolutely divine. BRAVO Ruth’s Chris! Keep up the good work.

Lunch was simply delicious. It all began with our excellent servers. The appetizer was crab cake was just the beginning of a tasty meal. First time having turtle soup and it was delish. The filet and rib eye were mouth watering. Tender and juicy. The creamy au gratin potatoes were to die for, the sauteed mushrooms were huge and full of flavor. And to top it off, the wine was scrumptious. It us a place to go to only on super special occasions due to the prices. I spent a weeks salary there for a two people meal. But we’ll work it. $ 200. Wow. But I would do it again.

The wife and I ate there again May 9^th to Celebrate Mother’s Day. We had Greg as our waiter again and the service was over the top. Turning 40 this year and I can not think of any better service from an establishment and from a waiter. Wish we could take Greg back to Houston to the Westheimer Ruth’s location.
Our meals:
For an appetizer: Spicy Lobster! AMAZING
Entrees: Filet Mignon for her.
Larger Filet Mignon for me. Both Medium Rare and cooked to perfection.
Sides: Asparagus with hollandaise sauce and Sweet Potato Casserole.
Dessert: Crème Brûlée
All was amazing!
Now you HAVE to try this wine Greg Suggested. We had it during the first visit and this one as well: Smith and Hook Cabernet Sauvignon. We had 2 karafes! Would have had more, if we hadn’t ate so much. Looking to have some of it shipped to the house.
So great food again, great service again, and great food memories of how service should be.
I heard a waiter tell a table next to us when one of the people in the party didn’t have their steak exactly how she asked, but she ate it anyway. He said they strive for excellence and if her steak wasn’t exactly how she wanted it, it came off the bill. You could tell she was shocked; it was good enough to eat, just wasn’t to her preference.
That striving for excellence attitude is just what they do. And it is natural; they don’t make it like they have to struggle to be courteous. Very Genuine.
We have been to many Steak Restaurants in the Baton Rouge area and being from Texas we know our Meat! This is by far the best!
Thanks for the memories and we will be back! Thanks «You Got It Greg»! You and the food made the night!

They did a Pittsburgh steak for me and did it correctly, so they are all aces in my book. The steak was delicious, the sides rocked and the service was excellent as always. They need to refurbish the restaurant, it’s old and shabby looking and in desperate need of a face lift which at their prices should be affordable for them. Valet parking took good care of my car and the restaurant took great care of me and beloved husband. We will definitely be back.

My visit to Ruth’s Chris was nothing short of superb. Our server, Jeff, did an excellent job to make the visit even more special. I ordered the lamb chops and my partner had the filet. I am not the biggest steak indulger, but it was the best we have ever had. It was seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection the way we requested. They have an open bar and plenty of wine, champagne, beer, and premium liquor selections. If you are looking for an unbelievable dining experience that is worth the price tag, then I strongly suggest this restaurant. I also appreciate the staff remembering your name and your special occasion. They even surprised my partner with a personalized dessert. We will definitely be back!

First, some Unilocal reviewers just don’t know so they give you a false understanding. This Ruth’s is not part of the franchise. It is detached from the franchise and privately owned. In my opinion, that’s what makes it heads and tails above the rest. This is by far the best steak in Baton Rouge and I have eaten at all of the major steakhouses known for steak. Plus, the service is by far the best and the owner Chris and the executive chef, Carlos go out of their way to make sure your experience is perfect. You can’t go wrong getting the ribeye with a blue cheese crust on top, my favorite.

The first time I dined at this location, I was disappointed to learn the 3-​course special mentioned on the website was not offered here. But given that the restaurant was packed compared to the Houston location, there was no reason to offer an incentive for customers to come in. I ordered a filet, whereas my partner ordered a ribeye. He also had the turtle soup and we shared potatoes au gratin. Unfortunately, my filet was cooked unevenly. It was tough, underseasoned, and overcooked. The ribeye was cooked perfectly. My partner enjoyed the turtle soup and potatoes, but I found the latter to be bland and generic. We chose raspberry cheesecake for dessert. The oat-​style crust is signature to this dish and was very good.
After mentioning the unpleasant experience with the filet to the waiter, the maitre d offered to take that off the bill AND offered my next ribeye on the house (after I commented I would go for the ribeye next time). I had been hesitant to come back here after arguing with the waiter about the cook of my steak, but the maitre d did more to make up for it.
On my second visit, the ribeyes were cooked perfectly and my experience improved greatly. We were able to snag the last lobster mac n’ cheese, which was very flavorful and delicious. We opted for ice cream for dessert, half vanilla and half chocolate. Our waiter was absolutely superb and even gave us an extra scoop of ice cream.
I will definitely be returning and will try to order a properly cooked filet next time. While the ribeye was great, 11 oz is still too large a portion for me.

This is a very old restaurant — both in terms of the building, décor and furnishings. Virtually nothing has been changed or updated in the last 40 years including the broken wheels on the grimy carpet.
Once upon a time Ruth’s was my favourite steakhouse in Baton Rouge, but these past many years the quality of the food has gone down.
Basically it’s turning «divey.»
If the valet parking isn’t open and you wind up having to park around back and what you see there isn’t exactly appetizing. Watch out for the potholes as you precariously navigate your way to the front, especially if you’re in heels.

This is my favorite steakhouse in Baton Rouge hands down. It used to be a toss up for me between this one, Flemings, & Sullivans but not anymore. My husband never thinks to make reservations so I ended up snagging us a table bar side at the prime time lunch rush on Mother’s Day. Score! The kids meal was a pretty good deal: 4 oz filet with a large serving of French fries and ice cream for only 15 bucks! The fries were cold but the steaks were cooked to perfection. I hardly ever see my 9 year old son clean his plate and he did it! That speaks for itself. We had the spicy lobster and crabtini to start. Both were delicious. I had pictures of them but my 4 year old managed to delete them! That’s upsetting to me as a Unilocaler! My husband had the turtle soup to start, which was excellent. As for our entrees, I had the sea bass and he had the garlic and blue cheese encrusted filet. I was torn between the sea bass and the yellowfin tuna. So glad I chose the sea bass as it was the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in a verrryyyyy long time! I’ve had my fair share of sea bass and no where else compares! My husband who is an avid steak lover said he enjoyed my fish more than his steak (and he said that his steak was wonderful). The service was great. Our waitress was on top of everything and our food came out quite quickly as well. Wish I could dine there everyday!

I’ve been to many Ruth’s Chris before tonight.
I must say tonight was the best. Great service, as always, and better food than I expected. Is very clear that the staff at this Ruth’s Chris take great pride at making all guests feel welcome.
Looking forward to coming back for another great dinner.

This is the best steak house is Baton Rouge, by far. We celebrated our anniversary here recently and the food exceeded all expectations. We had bar b q shrimp and veal stuffed ravioli (off menu item). Both were great but do not pass up the bar b q shrimp. The fresh shrimp is placed over mashed potatoes. We both had the filet for our entrée; both cooked to perfection– mine was medium rare and my wife’s well done. I know the cooks cringed at my wife’s order. We split a side of sweet potato casserole.
I should have written this review sooner because I have forgotten the server’s name. He was great. Always there when we needed him and excellent at suggesting wine.
The only thing that could make this better is updating the interior. It is a little outdated.
