The Take

Ruth's Chris respects the steak more than most chains. Order the filet or ribeye, demand extra butter, and leave the sides alone.

Business diners and status carnivores chase the sizzling plate ritual. The rest of the menu exists to pad the check.

The Verdict

Ruth's Chris still delivers proper animal-fat steakhouse cooking when you control the order. The 500° plate and butter finish separate it from seed-oil chains.

Chain pricing and upsells punish anyone who wanders off the meat. Order the filet or ribeye with extra butter and walk out.
