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.

    Worst service. Server ignored us and delivered incomplete plates off of a pre fixed thanksgiving menu. Kept leaving out items and when we asked, he acted like he had no idea what was included. The runners gave us more attention.

    Food was cool to cold. Never got our dessert that we asked that they put in the to go bag. These big chain steak houses need to stop resting on their laurels.

    We had an extraordinary dining experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in St. Petersburg last night. The manager, Michaela, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was GREAT!! We sat at the bar and were attended to by Emily, Jon, and Bryan, who were all fantastic. The service was exceptional, and the food was perfectly prepared and delicious. Highly recommend!

    This was our second visit to Ruth’s Chris and over all not a great experience compared to our first time dining with this restaurant. First visit - we dined in the dining room where it was intimate and really nice. The food was superb, service was 9/10 (which is why I chose to spend my birthday here for our second visit) I couldn’t wait to go again. Second visit- (The Birthday dinner I thought I couldn’t wait for). They sat us in the bar, in a booth surrounded by other people that made it feel like a Chilis bar and grill. The lighting was also very bright in the bar area it was zero percent intimate or peaceful as we were also on the main area where everyone and their brother was walking past us to go to the restroom. Our waiter was weird and not personable AT ALL , I asked him if they had fried shrimp for my son he said “sometimes they do sometimes they don’t” instead of saying something to the extent of let me check.. he brought out a bottle of wine he poured a taste for my husband which was tending to our son and I was sitting idol , so i politely asked if I may have a taste also, he just said okay and poured my glass about half full which I felt was disrespectful, I wanted to taste it. I did not ask him to pour it . I felt like my opinion did not matter. He finally went to check to see if they had shrimp after asking a second time. (I should not have to remind someone how to do their job). T We spent $419 and the tip suggested amount was over $80 something, I left $40. I would have gladly gave him more if the experience was worth it . The best part was the dessert they brought out a little cheese cake with happy birthday written on the plate in chocolate it was really cute. We had the chocolate cake and the cheesecake which were very good . I had an 11oz fila with lobster tail the fila was really good the lobster was dry and lacking flavor. We had a bunch of food left over to take home and wouldn’t you know my $80 steak was not in the to go bag. 😡

    We eat here often. Tonight was not a good meal. My steak came out with a hair on the plate and the steak was medium plus to medium well instead of medium rare. They change the plate out and gave me the same steak so maybe putting it in too very hot plates overcooked it. I asked to have steak taken away and removed from the bill. The manager came out and said we don’t want you to leave hungry. Please let me remake your steak. They brought the steak but everyone else was done eating so they ordered a bread pudding which was wonderful. I was shocked when the bill came and the dessert was not free. We were disappointed in this.
