Diner Reviews
  • "We dined at Ruth Chris for my husband's birthday. The food was amazing and the service was fabulous. It was more expensive than we expected but we were able to take enough food home for another meal. Great location for a special occasion. Our only complaint would be the tables for 2 were a little long and it was hard to have private conversation."

  • "Celebrated my husband;s birthday here, Food was sublime. Our server, Lauren, was absolutely the BEST! The dinner was worth every penny. Steaks were prepared just right and the chocolate mousse is to die for. A great place to celebrate a special occasion."

  • "The food and service was great. It was the best steak I have ever had. Just expect to spend alot. Around $175 for two guest."

  • "We were last there in Aug '13. It seems that the food and service were both so much better then. If you're going to serve bread pudding, you need a good recipe. The mushrooms should be sliced.....offering 'regular' coffee for us with more pedestrian taste would be nice."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "If you're willing to spend a little money, Ruth's Chris will never disappoint when a good steak is desired. Our server, Caitlin was knowledgable and fantastic. In addition to having the best steaks in town, their cheesecake is unbelievable. Great place for special occasions."

  • "Six of us dined. Cut to the chase-- chicken noodle soup was good; shrimp cocktail was delicious; seafood gumbo was not so good; mixed grill was very good; asian egg rolls were good; onion rings were all right. The stuffed chicken with the mixed grill got the most delicious votes. The apple tart was all right due to the apples not being fully cooked. It was a nice change of pace from our eating in 20 minutes. We had a had an enjoyable, leisurely meal having time to get caught up with each other."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "Filet was served piping hot, and was very tasty. Bread pudding was to die for. They have a special price 3-course meal if you order before 6:30 p.m. Well worth it as it's a bit pricey, as you would expect of R'sC."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "I took my husband out for his birthday...My expectations were high. I will say the service and atmosphere were great. The food was not. I spent a lot of money for food that i could have cooked better, and that is what my husband said. He did enjoy the steak. I had the mixed grill and did not enjoy it at all. My steak tasted like a salt lick. The crab cake lacked flavor and did the chicken. The ice cream was good, the bread pudding again, lacked flavor. I don't mind spending the money as long as the food is good. This was not and i can not recommend this restaurant."

  • "As someone who travels all over the country, I enjoy going to a nice steak restaurant for dinner with clients. I was excited that an upper end steak house was coming to Chattanooga. I have eaten at other Ruth's all over the country. This one is one of the newest and is very nice for decor and seating. The only problem is the food and the staff...steaks were cooked in too much butter ( I know this is the signature but this is the first time that it was "swimming") and the wait staff seem to not be "energetic" enough...it was a Thursday night and it might have something to do with it. Nice wine and bar menu...bread pudding was great...hope to give them another shot..."

  • "My sweetheart informed me that she had never eaten at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse when I mentioned we had visited one on a recent business trip. We visited the Chattanooga restaurant the week after Valentines due to weather conditions. We arrived earlier than our reservations and they were very accommodating, We determined to have a cocktail in the bar before dinner and the people were very helpful discussing different meals they liked and different cocktails they could make. They did something without question, that is to let you transfer your bar bill to the restaurant bill. A lot of places that I have dined with find this to be difficult to accomplish. They have a very simple but tasty steakhouse menu. An excellent evening."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "We had a semi large group and our experience was wonderful. This is a much fancier place than we normally visit, and we loved it. We knew it was gong to be an expensive meal and it was, but it was well worth it. My husband and I both had plenty to eat with left overs. This is not somewhere we could eat on a weekly basis but for special events I give it 2 thumbs up."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "I really enjoyed dining at Ruth Chris because you feel welcomed as soon as you walk through the door which is opened for you. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and they call you by name. Our waitress was attentive and described the menu very well."

  • "Wen for our anniversary. The food was great and so was the service. A great dining experience."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "The service was perfect. It has been a long time since I have been to a restaurant and not had any complaints about the service. Also the food was perfect. Great flavor and meat was cooked to order. I highly recommend eating here"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "I expected more for the cost of the meal. The mashed potatoes were pre-packaged potatoes because I found a piece of plastic in them. Nonetheless my streak was cooked the way I liked so I was pleased with that and so was my wife."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "My wife and I have a 2yr old son son romantic dinners are few and far between. Ruth's Chris was just what we needed. Quiet romantic ambiance, and great service! We even ordered our appetizer at the bar while waiting on our table and when the table was ready they moved everything for us! They really go out of their way to make you feel special!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The ambience was nice. The service was outstanding. The food wasn't anything special. I would recommend ordering your steak one level below what you would normally order. The steaks are served on a 500* plate which continues to cook your steak before arrival. My rib eye was over down and even burnt on one end. I do not like to send food back to the kitchen, so I ate my steak medium well instead of medium. Also, upon arrival I noticed several patrons wearing blue jeans and untucked shirts. There is nothing wrong with blue jeans and untucked shirts, but I expected a more upscale atmosphere. It kind of made me feel no different than if I had went to Logan's down the street. Will I return? Maybe."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "I know Ruth's Chris tries to deliver the "best steak you have ever eaten." They succeeded. The whole experience was great. The reservation, to the seating, to the server, the food. Thank you Ruth's Chris!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014

  • "Very enjoyable night. Couldn't believe we could get in on Valentine's day. Great choice."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "It was an wonderful experience. I was my first time there and I enjoyed it. I wish the people would dress up more for the outdoor dining. This is a place where you need to be dress to dine. but that just me."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Extremely loud music, and lighting too bright. Apparently no dress code as the thug-looking groups showed up around 10:00. Food and service were excellent despite being startled by what sounded like half their dishes crashing to the floor in the kitchen."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Valentines Day lunch was great! The service was excellent, as usual. The food and wine were both above and beyond! Can't wait til our next visit!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I've traveled a lot and eaten a lot and this was the best food experience ever!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The steaks at Ruth's Chris are unlike any other. Places I liked before take a step back from Ruth's Chris - just no comparison. They are fabulous - but due to the price, we cannot go there very often. Also, the au gratin potatoes are wonderful."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Although a little pricey, very good food. Down side: table for two a little too far apart from your guest. Able to hear waitresses talk to people next to you so hard to concentrate sometimes. Watch out for sizzling steaks when they bring them to your table. Wait staff very attentive."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "The personnel was very friendly and helpful. We were treated as if we were very important."
    Dined on 2/9/2014
  • "Took my daughter here for her 17th birthday. This was the first time I dined at this particular Ruth's Chris and it did not disappoint. Daughter said the steak was best she had ever had and the shrimp and grits I had was awesome. This makes the fifth location of a Ruth's Chris I have tried and they are all quality in every area."
    Dined on 9/22/2013
  • "My friends and I were more than pleased with the service and our dining experience. I compared it to being on a cruise were all you have to do is be there, everything else is done for you! Everyone was friendly, professional and very eager to please. I definitely recommend the Steak House to anyone and especially for a "girls night out". Thank you to all who made our evening a very pleasant one."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "The service was outstanding! My wife had a birthday, so the table was set with little happy birthday glitter. And the cake was huge, delicious and Happy Birthday was written with a chocolate drizzle on the plate. Steaks were fabulous and our waitress was perfect. Could not have been happier!"
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "My wife and I have birthdays that are four days apart. We decided to celebrate together on one occasion. This was definitely the way to do it. Ruth's was elegant, yet comfortable. We weren't dressed to kill, just nice jeans and button down shirts. They waiter was very personal yet professional. He found out it was our birthday celebration and offered us an upgraded dessert at no extra charge. The food was perfect and the service top of the line. My wife and I both agreed, this was the best dining experience either of us had ever had."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "I was excited when I learned that this restaurant was coming to Chattanooga so we have now made our second trip to eat here, we do love it and really enjoy all the attention to detail, we will be back!"
    Dined on 1/27/2014
  • "Service was very slow. 1 hour 5 min. From order to food being served. Once waiter tookndrink and food order she never came back to ask if we would like another drink, more bread or to refill water glasses. Steaks were served hot and as ordered but verges were warm at best. Over all far from what I expected from Ruth's Chris based on experience at other locations."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Having dined in numerous Ruth s Chris restaurants at different locations, the Chattanooga location was typical of the excellent service, presentation of the food that warms your appetite and quality that makes for a very rewarding experience. The steak was seared perfectly, however both by wife and I were disappointed with the quality of the filet as we both had a portion of our steaks that were not eatable. Kudos to Lauren, our server as she provided excellent service!"
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "To me, Ruth's Chris Chattanooga is the finest in dining, atmosphere, food and service Chattanooga has to offer. It's a great location to entertain clients or have a romantic dinner with my wife. Absolutely Amazing management and servers who are attentive to every detail."
    Dined on 1/21/2014
  • "This was our first visit to the Chattanoga location and it did not disappoint. Took advantage of the fixed price early bird special. Every aspect of the meal was superb. Great way to celebrate our anniversary."
