    We were hoping for Ken but we got Carlton? Did a great job regardless. Don’t have to wait to long on much seems as if they have one table at a time to work and make it perfect so we understand the wait .

    The service was good, it was our 50th wedding anniversary and I wanted us to go to what is classed as the best restaurant for top line steak, I was not impressed with the ribeye steak, I figured it would stand out in taste and tenderness but it was just a steak, had no flavor and was just a steak. I fix ribeye steak at home every couple of months and I am not a stand out cook but what I fix at home is way better than what I was served at your place, it was a major anniversary and I thought the meal would have been better. The service we got was top knoch, the atmosphere was easy going so that helped out. I'm sorry to say this was our first visit to Ruth chris steak house and it will be the last visit there!
    Ruth's Chris Steak House - ColumbiaResponded on July 14, 2025
    Charles, we're sorry to hear that your experience with the steak did not meet your expectations. We're glad to know that you appreciated our service and atmosphere, but we regret that the ribeye didn't hit the mark for you. We take pride in our top-notch steaks and your feedback is valuable to us--after all, this is what we are known best for! We hope to have another chance to impress you with our culinary masterpieces in the future. Feel free to reach out directly if there is anything else I can help with. Happy 50th Anniversary!!

    We made this reservation late, however, Ruth's Chris could not be more helpful to get us a table. Our server was Kalief and he was AMAZING! His suggestions were spot on. From appetizers to entree's to dessert to wine were all spot on. FIVE STARS across the board from a very picky family!
