Ruth’s Chris Steak House

Totally new staff and the food is still up to R c standards. Great drinks finals of NBA On. Nothing better than good food drinks and atmosphere to top it off.

Steak cooked perfect. Sweet potato awesome decorated our table for our anniversary and a complimentary dessert Our server was great and took care of us thanks for the romantic dinner on our 25^th anniversary

So far I have had 2 dining experiences at this location and I have been thoroughly pleased each time. Everyone goes above and beyond here to make sure you have everything you need, just the way you need it.
We’ve ordered a few different cuts of steaks here with the Cowboy ribeye being the favorite. The creamed spinach is also delicious as a side. They were also very accommodating to the request we made on how to prepare and cook the steak.
Overall, this is the place to choose when you’re looking for an amazing steak!

I’ve dined at a few Ruth’s Chris locations before. Being a native of New Orleans; however, I’ve never dined at the Fulton location. There are many fine dining options in New Orleans and many of which I could say serve the best filet. My husband and I were fortunate to receive a gift card to Ruth’s Chris so we decided to make the reservation at the Fulton location– since neither of us have been there before. We had a reservation; however, had to wait at least 15 minutes to be seated.
Upon walking in, the dining room was very noisy. We were seated at a table that bordered a glass wall of windows that overlooked the next room. I’m not going to lie– it felt crammed against the wall and my view was of another group’s table. The seating is a combination of chair and booth seating… Not ideal for a fine dining experience. The chairs are covered with cheap fabric. The lighting is awful. It gives off the feeling that you are eating at an Applebee’s or another mediocre chain. I highly recommend dimming the lights to allow for more of a «candle lit» dining feel. The Metairie, LA location does a much better job at this.
On top of everything else– there were at least 5 fruit flies at our table. On two different occasions the flies fell in to my husband’s wine. After making a comment to our waitress– we were told it was just the season. This didn’t make the experience one to write home about.
Now– the food. It was very good. I did find the steaks to have a bit of a crunch on the outside… And my steak tasted more of a medium well then medium. But the meat was delicious and the sides were great. The creamed spinach is definitely a favorite.
In my opinion– a dining experience is just that, an experience. The atmosphere, environment and service play an equal role with the food. If you are staying at the casino and you want to grab a steak with the convenience of not having to leave the hotel– this location is fine for that, maybe even for a dinner with a large group of friends. But, with all the New Orleans has to offer– I strongly encourage you to venture out!

I gotta tell ya, not in love with RC. My steak is never cooked right… I always order rare and it’s always medium at best. My mom on the other hand always orders medium to medium well, and it’s always rare. This may sound like a no-​fuss situation, why don’t we just trade? Well, there are a few reasons… first, we order different cuts. Second, I’M PAYING $ 50 FOR A STEAK, I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO SETTLE OR MAKE TRADES TO GET MY STEAK COOKED THE WAY I ORDERED! Also, the sides, while delicious, are often cold leading me to imagine there’s a stack of pre-​dished sides in the back just waiting to go out, and the only reason the dish is hot is because it was stuck under the salamander for a few. That being said, the appetizers are always amazing as are the desserts. Don’t pass up a chance to get the ahi tuna appetizer or blueberry cheesecake for dessert. I do like the ambiance and the bar is decent. They have a pretty decent wine selection and their craft cocktails are pretty tasty.
Mediocre review aside, the service is second to none. The staff is always friendly and attentive; always willing to make recommendations and go out of their way to accommodate special requests. I’ve never waited or had to ask repeatedly for a drink refill or cocktail from the bar. And, one thing I love, they tend to remember repeat customers, which always makes me feel welcome.

My husband and I love RC. Everything was great except for the drinks from the bar took a long time. We had to order 2 drinks at a time to stay up to point. The 1^st round of drinks looked beautiful. Garnished with a sugar rim and lemon peel. The others, which were the same drinks, had nothing. Maybe the bartenders were busy. The restaurant itself didn’t seem busy, lots of empty tables but over all, WE LOVED IT.

Was really looking forward to Ruth’s in NOLA but sub par food was terribly disappointing. Had to send steak back twice.

My love and I recently dined at Ruth’s Chris for their 5 course dinner with Spanish wine pairings. It was $ 95 per person.
When we first arrived, we were pleasantly greeted; however, there was a mix up in finding our reservation because it had been made through their PR company. The manager came talk to us. He said that he would take care of things. Then we were left standing there for 20 minutes. We asked again, and by that point, the manager did clear things up, and seated us in the back room with the wine dinner.
The private room was warm and beautiful, but the acoustics lent to us having to raise our voices to talk to the other guests at our table.
For our first course, we had a tomato and goat cheese salad. It was delicious. The second course was lobster with paella. It was good. We then had a pork tenderloin dish. I didn’t care for this at all, as it was very dry. The next course was the filet mignon with a pimento type cheese on top. This was perfection! Absolutely mouthwatering. It’s obvious steak is what Ruth’s is known for! The dessert course was a deconstructed tres leches. It was just o.k. and it really didn’t taste anything like the amazing Latin dessert I’ve come to love so much.
The wine pairings were spot on, and they kept the wine flowing.
All in all, it was an enjoyable evening. Going just on food alone, I doubt I’d do another dinner like this. I’d rather go and just do a la carte and get the items that I know they’re great at… like steak.

The food there is always great! I never had a bad experience! I love the lamb chops! I visit the New Orleans location quite often! The servers are very friendly & patient!

We had lunch reservation at 1130AM for my birthday.
Michele was are waitress and she was so kind.
We started off with the Spicy Lobster Appetizer. Yummy. So soft and seasoned so well. It comes with a mini cucumber Salad which was very refreshing.
My hubby had the 20oz Rib Eye. I had one bite and it melted in my mouth. He really enjoyed. He said it was one of the best he has had in a long time.
I had the shrimp and crab salad. So fresh and the shrimp were really big! I couldn’t even finish it. Loved the dressing.
We finished with the cheesecake with blueberry topping. We finished that in 2 minutes. Very light and fluffy!
We had a great time. Definitely make an early reservation as I’ve heard it gets very packed for dinner. They still have the same menu for lunch! We will be back again.

This was my first and only experience at Ruth’s Chris. I’ve been told prior that this location was on of the best in the country. So far, my experiences in New Orleans have shown me that, generally, service is more «lax» and things tend to take longer than elsewhere. Ruth’s was the biggest culprit of this I’d say, which was almost most surprising. Our waiter lacked charisma and very inattentive. Top the experience with over-​priced food and beer ($ 6/​bottle of Bud Light) and you have a negative experience. I felt my $ 60 steak was closer to $ 20. That was the consensus with the table. The experienced Ruth’s Chris diner made note that this location had gone downhill since his previous visits and was worse than the other locations he’s been.
Let’s say I learned my lesson and still prefer cooking my own steak.

Had the 16oz Ribeye. Cooked perfect, medium rare. Our server, Jason, great guy. Thank You Jason. Great job.
Cream Brûlée was perfect. Nice place inside Harrah’s Hotel.

Came for the steak left with the lobster Mac n cheese. The steaks are always great but was pleasantly surprised how amazing the lobster Mac n cheese was!

This was my first time here, and the place was absolutely gorgeous. Everyone was in his/​her formal attire, and so you could definitely tell this place is expensive. The view of Fulton street lights was beautiful. But the food was well worth it all. The service was very good, and the waitresses were friendly and always checked up on us to see if we needed more drinks. Also one waitress was able to help me decide on which red wine to get. So nice.
Then came the food… Oh man. Absolutely amazing. I had the seared ahi tuna and mushrooms stuffed with crabmeat for the appetizer, steakhouse salad, medium rare filet with a side of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, and cheese cake with berries. The ahi tuna app was all right, not a fan though. The salad was good; that was the first time I actually ate all my veggies. The highlight dish was the filet on the 500 degree plate (woah). The seasoning, the juiciness, and the tenderness made it so divine. I loved every bite I took. I loved the mashed potatoes; you honestly cannot mess that up. The spinach was way too creamy for me. But the cheesecake, oh my goodness. I was expecting only a slice, but the waitress came out with a whole cake for everyone who picked that as the dessert. I couldn’t finish it all, but it was very delicious, nonetheless. I heard the sin cake was extremely rich.
You definitely get your money’s worth of all the food given (even though my dinner was completely free, thank you dad’s boss). The only downside to this experience was the wait was a bit long, but it’s okay. The food made up for it.

These are Wonderfull people who put forth comfort food along the lines of a chart house. Add to that they support NPR’s morning edition and that shows they are thinkers plus foodies. I dig Ruth steaks the most so do try their air cured meat.

It’s Ruth’s Chris, so I expected it to be excellent and it was.
We had lunch reservations and had no wait to be seated. Service and food were both excellent. I ordered shoestring fries and they were very tasty, but hard to get out of the container without making a mess everywhere. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to clean after myself.
My Rib-​eye Steak rare was perfect as expected…

I dined tonight with a friend. We made reservations and arrived about 5 minutes prior to our time. In total, we waited 30+ minutes before finally being told a table was «literally being set» for us. During the 30+ minutes we waited to be seated, we saw several parties of two sat before us. These parties came after us from what we could tell. In addition, to add insult to injury, a party of 4 that came after us and was also waiting were brought 4 glasses of wine as a compensation for waiting. Imagine our surprise when we were not offered the same deal. Finally, after we made a comment, we received two complimentary glasses of wine and later a free dessert. We found this out because we were sat right next to them. Really???
Upon being seated, dinner was divine!
The front desk needs to get it straight because it’s ridiculous to wait an additional 30 minutes when you have a reservation.

I would give my wait staff 5 stars, and manager would get 3 stars only because he tried to un mess the mess ups. The kitchen messed up every course from starters to the steaks. I have eaten at Ruth’s steakhouse as long as I can remember. This is the only time I have ever had to send «anything» back to the kitchen. Tonight was like a mature night at Ruth’s. Appetizer shoestring fries were greasy and not crispy at all. Stuffed mushrooms were not cooked at all, put on a hot plate, but not cooked. My son and I ordered the bone in filet ($ 50+ each) burnt to a inedible yuck. It took another 20 minutes for them to bring out what I ordered. It was perfect the second time.
When you are going out to Ruth’s with a fair sized group (6 people), and dropping some serious coin at said reputable steakhouse the steak is the last thing they should mess up. The waiter did the best he could to salvage a bad experience, but in the end the management should not have allowed that crap food to leave the kitchen. I could have gotten a better steak at the Swamp room.

New York strip steak was lightly seasoned and delicious but not all that special. Most of us can reproduce the results with bare minimum skills.
Steak was served on a sizzling ceramic plate that stayed hot until I finished. This made the steak just a little overcooked near the end. If this is all I got, Id rate place four stars.
Bread pudding with whiskey is delicious but couldn’t really taste the whiskey. I thought it tasted like Cinnabon with a bit more sauce and some raisins inside.
Girlfriend got mixed grill. Crab cake was filled with crab meat but too salty. Chicken was just a little dry. Overall the experience was just about adequate, roughly on par with a GOOd visit to Applebee’s.

I’ve been to Ruth’s a few times over the years, but to my recollection, this was the first time I’d been for lunch. I don’t work nearby and it’s never top of mind when looking for a lunch place, but we popped in there for a late lunch yesterday, and by late, I mean they had switched to the dinner menu already, but just by asking, they switched over and accommodated us by bringing out the lunch menu (and more importantly, the lunch pricing).
The lobster bisque was delicious (as always) and I also chose a pepper steak salad, which is actually not even offered on the dinner menu, so I was quite pleased. In addition to the regular salad dressing selections, there was an option for a remoulade dressing which paired with the steak beautifully. It was so good I may never use regular salad dressing again after that!
The service was impeccable and the cocktails were not lightly poured just because it was lunch either ;). This location has a nice ambience for being in the heart of busy downtown. Its location on Fulton Square provides a large courtyard for outdoor seating in nice weather and beautiful views of the Christmas display complete with fake snow fall at Christmastime. Oh, don’t forget if you park in Harrah’s lot, bring your parking ticket with you and they will validate it.
A note to meeting and event planners or those looking to host a private party: this location has a rather large private room all the way in the back. I don’t know maximum capacity, but my company uses it about 4x a year for a seated dinner for approx 50 people and there’s plenty of room for both guests and wait staff to cleanly navigate the room.
