I have been to Ruth Chris steakhouse before but it was my first time at the Princeton location. The Princeton location experience was perfect. I had a reservation for 4 at 7:45 on Saturday before Mother's Day. We were seated on time, our wait staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The filet I had was very tender and flavorful as...

My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary at this Ruths Chris. Our server Amy was a delight, helpful, friendly and there when we needed her. The point of any restaurant is the food. Of course Ruths Chris has great steaks, my wife and I both got a steak and they were perfectly cooked and delicious. If you haven't tried... More

My husband and I made a reservation to celebrate our anniversary. When we arrived we were shown to a private booth with rose petals on the table and additional candles. We were visited by many of the staff as well as the maitre d'. Our waiter was very attentive. The food was excellent, petite filet mignon and rib eye, the... More

I'd been hearing about Ruth's Chris for years and was always envious of those that went. For me, cost was the issue. I went this past weekend and while the food was good, I'll never go back. I WAS EXPECTING GREAT FOOD AND IT JUST INS"T ALL THAT SPECIAL. It's a chain restaurant that charges exorbitant prices for food that's... More

I went with the whole family for my son's 16th Bday. Having been to a lot of the chain steakhouses and many of the stand alone steakhouses, this was a very average experience. Overall, my steak was good. (Ribeye) The Wedge salad was good, but not on par with many of the other premier steakhouses. They offered no "Seafood" tower... More

Food is always good, but you will pay for it... I'm not a big fan of the fact that your entree is a steak and you have to buy the sides separately, but food is still good. More

I have eaten at many steak houses in NY, TX, Kansas City, etc, this was my first time at a Ruth Chris. All very nicely done but just short of the mark of some of the independents that I have visited. Nothing really stands out as a problem but nothing really shines either. The whole affair has a kind of... More
