Is Ruth's Chris OVERRATED? Reviewing The Iconic Steak Chain

Ruth's Chris Steak House is one of the most famous steak chains in the USA, with many locations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The steakhouse with the weird name has been around since 1965 and has been serving the iconic Ruth's Chris sizzling steaks in fine dining settings ever since. The name is a mouthful to say, but the origin story is interesting, as the owner bought Chris Steakhouse and was tired of being mistaken for Chris' wife, and hence put the famous apostrophe in the restaurant name.
Today, Ruth's Chris Steak House is one of the most common and popular fine dining steakhouses in America and is often the only option for a fancy steak dinner in many parts of the country. For many more suburban locations, your options are basically either Outback steakhouse, Texas Longhorn steakhouse, or Ruth's Chris.
Due no doubt in large part to this ubiquity, Ruth's Chris has many fans. Many believe Ruth's Chris is the best steak in the USA, and even people who live in places with vibrant food scenes are fans of it. Some even believe it is the best steak in New York City despite the plethora of other historical and critically acclaimed options.
So is Ruth's Chris truly the best steak around or is Ruth's Chris overrated? Come with us on this food adventure as we find out!

Yup. Exactly. At best that steak looked very average and the sizzling plate is a dumb gimmick. That should’ve been allowed to rest properly without being on a hot plate. I also noticed it looked panfried. To me a good steakhouse cooks their steaks over hot charcoal I live in Western Canada. Saskatchewan to be exact. The city that I live in has 260,000 people and we have three really good independent state causes that are also fine. Any of which are way better than this place down. At least from what I can tell anyways.

[@CoolJay77]

Great review UA. On the plus side, I think the mix of butter and meat juices are great for dipping the slices. Ruth's Chris has a marketing ploy of their high temp 1,800 F infrared searing system. I happen to think it is flawed. If they leave the steak long enough to get a full sear, it chars some spots too much. If they try to avoid too much char, you get spots that are under seared. But at times, they do get it right. It is always better to sear at lower temperature than that but for long enough time to get a nice caramelization throughout. Also, they don't salt brine steaks in advance at restaurants, which may have been why you felt the need for salt. Those are the two reasons I almost never go out to eat steaks anymore. When I cook at home, I try to get maximum brown caramelization, color of dark brown sugar, for a sweeter sear flavor rather than bitter black char. But that is a matter of taste.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching your review videos. Keep up the great work! Hello from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

[@Nate-pz7pv]

I was told by a friend who is a waiter there that the steaks are wet aged for thirty days. That’s just leaving it in its sealed bag for aging. That’s why it doesn’t have that dry aged flavor! FYI!

[@oscarface7875]

You lose some weight in the dry aging process and it costs more since the process takes longer. Dry age beef is more concentrated in flavor, but it does not always translate to a better steak. It is a preference. I know a sous chef at a top steak house and he prefers wet age beef. Allen Brothers and BuckHead beef are a few beef prevayors that make great quality wet aged beef

[@CoolJay77]

@@oscarface7875 There has been some shift away of dry aged beef since the beef prices started skyrocketing. Restaurants have the charge around three times the food cost. People have been getting sticker shock seeing dry aged steaks costing over $100. Adam Perry Lang ended up shutting down his famous steakhouse in Hollywood that used to specialize in dry aged steaks.

[@oscarface7875]

prime beef is already expensive as it is. however it is nice to just feature at least one dry age cut on a menu. some people go to these fancy places searching for deals, but some go to show off for special occasions and to show off and impress clients and such. it all depends on the restaurant if it is profitable to bring in such cuts @@CoolJay77

[@avernvrey7422]

He probably meant 3 days. Wet aging for 30 days would yield grey-colored, rotten, meat.

[@fishfood8719]

​@@avernvrey7422No. Allen Bros. wet ages their beef 32- 48 days. Nebraska Star Beef 35 to 60 days/ not less than 35 days. It takes a minimum 21 days before the benefits of wet aging begin happening. Remember these meats are cryovac bagged. It's not being aged in a styrofoam tray with plastic wrap, although when the supermarket receives it, it is probably very large sections of meat that is cryovac bagged until it is butchered to smaller cuts and repackaged. The meat is actually wet aging from the point the meat processor bags it for transport. So your supermarket beef will have a minimal amount of wet aging varying, but after repackaging oxygen is present causing discoloration/oxidation, crovac= no oxygen.

I've eaten at Ruth's Chris steak house many years ago at SF. I ordered the most expensive filet mignon and wonder how they cook that piece of steak so perfectly.

You nailed it. All steakhouse chains in the US use the sous vide method at this point. It comes down to how well they execute the method, seasoning, searing. Ruth’s Chris, like many, use large infrared ovens that blast steaks at 1,200+ degree temps to achieve that crust. The issue is not everyone enjoys a hard seared steak as odd as that may sound. High end steakhouses in NYC can get away with much more sear than in the suburbs. What UA got here is just about the standard you’ll find around the country.

So their bread is excellent and dipping a piece of bread in the butter dish is a faux pas and I like my Caesar salad wet that's just me the steak was cooked to perfection although maybe not as rare as you would like it and it does not have to have a real Char on it to be good the juices are excellent with the butter OnPoint with the mashed potatoes and that piece of cheesecake was not small or skimpy it's cheesecake you just had a full meal take smaller bites and Savor the flavor ! You do take huge bites of food oh my I don't know how you enjoy it anyhow happy reviewing❤

$120 40oz ribeye for two is not a bad deal really. My Wife would eat 6oz and id get the other 34!

[@NoahEats]

Always order that with that ratio. I do that as well with my wife. Lol. Definitely shows during my Vlogs 😅

[@-AV8R-]

Hey UA, I highly recommend Barclay Prime in Philadelphia next time your in the neighborhood. Get the dry aged ribeye...one of my favorite steakhouses in the country. You will not be disappointed!

[@thomasbello221]

Great review I think Ruth Chris has lost a step overtime Not sure why they brought everything out at once. Keep up the good work. My favorite steak is Vic Anthony’s bone in Ribeye in Harrahs Atlantic city I believe in Harrahs

[@dbased1915]

went to the one in San Juan PR recently. got the calamari appetizer, and the 169$ tomahawk steak! Food was on point with STK candado, STK i found was more expensive.

My pocketbook hates that I love this place.

The Ruth's Chris steaks I've had always had a wonderful sear on the meat and was always well seasoned. Your's did look a little bit limp. Ruth's Chris is better than Morton's in my humble opinion. But not as good as Smith & Wollensky. Personal preference. And yes, the RC steaks are wet aged as opposed to dry aged. Final thought: To put RC in the same class as Outback steakhouse or Texas Longhorn steakhouse is a gross disservice.

Not only USA and Mexico it’s in Canada as well just saying 😊

My brother and I went last night and it wasn't good. I ordered the petite filet with a lobster tail. I ordered the steak medium rare. It came out over cooked and still cooking on the crazy hot plate. The waiter agreed that it was overcooked and brought out another overcooked steak about 10 minutes later. I ordered au gratin potatoes, and they were cubed potatoes in a cheese sauce. Not great. My brother's T-bone was cooked nicely, but it was tough and lacked flavor. For $200, it was a horrible experience.

[@TTG_JG]

Ive given every Ruths Chris in NJ/NY a try and even in Waikiki Hawaii once. Ive had a great experience each time that keeps me and my family coming back. Correct me if Im wrong but it looks like you went to the Jersey City,NJ location which is good but not favorite. One suggestion I would make to any reader is to try the Paramus,NJ or Short Hills,NJ if you really want to be blown away.

[@Flourbag]

Thank you for tearing the bread and not cutting it with a knife. Breadman approved technique!

[@rexiioper6920]

what was the total bill?

[@tomjamison5934]

They should have given you a bigger piece of Cheesecake since you didn't have the Shrimp.

[@NoahEats]

Probably a set section of the refrigerator to pull from

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

@@NoahEatsyou seem passionate about corporate restaurants. I have been enjoying at least 2 of your subcomments lol

[@mlauren629]

I love the one in Harrah's Las Vegas. Very nice dining room, delicious food. Food very reasonable for what you are getting.

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

I've been to their Weehawkin, Parsippany & West Side Manhattan locations. I'm going to try the new Short Hills location next. I've never been to the Jersey City location. Parsippany has been my go to but it's been very average lately. BTW, Ruth's Chris uses wet aged beef. Fun Fact: Darden Restaurants bought Ruth's Chris. Darden also owns Capital Grille which is a better choice and more of a fine dining experience. Harvest Restaurants in North NJ has a steak concept known as Roots which is quite good.

[@oscarface7875]

that steak probably takes like 12 minutes to cook if that with the hot broilers. but upscale steakhouses dont do rush service, its an experience. also you have to ask for a charred medium rare. otherwise you get just a decent char from the broiler then they finish it in the oven. and correct, the steak does continue to cook on a hot plate. next time get the sweet potato casserole. I dont like sweet potato but that dish is really good

[@jimklemens5018]

A medium rare steak should take about 6 to 8 minutes.

[@oscarface7875]

thats why I said if that, and it depends on the steak as well. if it is a giant 12-16 filet or a giant boned in ribeye /tomahawk a medium rare is definitely longer than 6-8 minutes. its all a science really. the steak is seared first. it should be a decent sear but not charred unless requested. then finished in the oven with a liquid au jus to keep it moist. if you broil a 12 oz filet until med rare it will be completed burnt, its a science and an art. its not as easy as it seems. you can have head chefs come into the head guy and work broil that gets their steaks sent back often. you gotta get acclimated to your station and know hot points of each grill. and timing is a factor too@@jimklemens5018

Since.you'll go to New Jersey for a steak, how about reviewing Arthur's in Hoboken. It's not really known for the best steaks, but known for value steaks. Also, why don't you check out some Argentinian steakhouses, both in NYC and NJ. I am looking for a good Argentinian steak house.

[@johnkovalicky3389]

Oh man I used to go to Arthur's all the time in Hoboken when I lived in Jersey I missed that place it's still there yummy
