    Creamed Spinach Au Gratin
    Coleman O.

    We decided to eat at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for our business dinner while working in the Destin area. The restaurant is located on Hwy 98 a bit West of the outlet mall. The establishment is everything that you could want in a fine steakhouse. They even have a "wine room" adorned with bottles of wine on walls of glass. Really cool. We started our meal with appetizers of Escargot and Spicy Shrimp. The Spicy Shrimp were a big hit. I ordered a glass of Meomi Pinot Noir, and the only knock was that for $16, I expect a heavier pour. For our main meals, we ordered the Steak Skewer Salad and the Filet and Cold Water Lobster Tail. And for our side an order of Creamed Spinach Au Gratin. My Filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare and my Lobster was fresh and cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. Every aspect of our meal was on point, and we were thoroughly impressed by our entire experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    My husband took me here for my 50th Birthday dinner. It was the best food I had ever had in my life, dessert included. I had Surf n Turf and potatoes for side dish. I saved room for my dessert we ate every crumb it was soooo delicious! Now the bill lol around 200.00 but hey it was my 50th and YOLO I say!

    Chilean sea bass with sweet potato chutney . Delicious !

    Very impressed! Service was on point. Waiter was friendly and humble. Sometimes white linens can accompany an intimidating waitstaff, but this was not the case. Perfect wine recommendations and sharing options/presentation on a beautifully portioned porterhouse, that was perfectly done. We ordered potatoes au gratin and tasted our guest's sweet potatoes- both were incredible. Crabtini and wedge salad were great starters. Creme Brûlée was ok (I prefer a crispier top) but was a gift along with a chocolate cake for our anniversary, so no complaints! It was a really nice experience.

    By far one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant! Everyone there was so nice. We were greeted and told Happy Anniversary by everyone. Our drinks were kept full, our service was impeccable, but, most of all, the food was outstanding. My filet was the best I have ever had - cooked to perfection. The side were delicious as well. Since it was a special occasion, we splurged and had dessert. I would definitely go back! It is worth the money spent.

    Not impressed

    Service is average and also the steak. The ambience is the better than the food and the service.

We sat outside, enjoyed the live music, and the atmosphere was perfect for a group celebration. Service was quick and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. Food wise, the pimento cheese dip was unfortunately not a hit for our group. It had a very thick, almost paste like consistency and was difficult to spread. I also ordered the corn and crab bisque, and personally was not a fan of the sweeter flavor. For my meal, I ordered the summer salad and absolutely loved it. I finished every bite. Our server also highly recommended the first three fish options on the menu, and everyone who ordered fish completely cleaned their plates. Portion sizes were very generous. The only issue we had was the bride's steak being overcooked, but the manager personally came over, addressed it, and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, great atmosphere, live music, generous portions, and solid service. A fun spot for groups and celebrations!

The restaurant is very large with indoor and outdoor dining areas, and it is casual, but classy. Overall, we had a great experience. The host was fine; however, lacked empathy and customer service skills. He was a full 30 seconds ahead of us, and if we wouldn't have been tracking him with our eyes, we wouldn't have known where to sit. By the time we got to the table, he was nowhere to be found; however, the menus were in a pile on the table. Our server, on the other hand, was very pleasant. He was kind, caring and kept us informed and checked in on us frequently. The table shared the crab cakes and the blue crab claws, both of which were very good. Of course, the complimentary hush puppies are definitely a hit as well. For my entree I had the Grouper Louisianne. It was a tasty piece of fish, that came with a great side salad and a super delicious twice baked potato. Other than the host, the other reason for the minus one star, was the unusually long time it took between the salad course and the main course. It was a full 20 minute wait, after we were done with our salads, for the main course to arrive. Otherwise, I would likely try the restaurant again at a future time, if something brought me back to the area.

It was too dry but we were hoping our toddler would eat it. The green bean medley was good as just a simple veg side. It's long beans with mushrooms and onions. The onions and mushrooms i could've passed on but it wasn't over seasoned which is what I needed The twice baked potato was good, very cheesy and I think it has bacon in it The grilled fish sandwich was great. Nice sized fish & the Cole slaw is good here, almost fruity. It came with a ton of fries that were cooked well. The bread is soft & the tartar sauce went well with it The crabs were cooked perfectly and so sweet. I almost wish we'd have gotten an extra cluster for $18. It's always busy at this place. They told us 35 mins for the wait but it took maybe 20. It filled up as we left though. They have a gift shop and beach access to entertain you while you wait + a loud speaker so you can hear them call for you. The lot is across the street and it fills up as there's other businesses here but usually someone leaves within 5-10 mins so just have someone get on the wait and then go find a spot if you have more than 1 person
