My first visit, i ordered the Ruth's 3 Course for $60 which includes a starter, entrée, personal-size side and dessert. It's a great deal for a steakhouse experience! FRENCH ONION SOUP This was my starter, so far the best French onion soup I've had. Rich, flavorful, not too salty and very satisfying. 6 OZ FILET & SHRIMP* The filet was tender and came with three large shrimp. A nice combination and a good portion CREAMED SPINACH Personal-size portion, which's just right for me. I liked the creamy, savory flavor. CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE Nice and a good way to finish the meal. House Bread The bread was great, especially served with their delicious butter. I could easily eat too much of this before the meal even arrives Service was great and added to the overall dining experience. The only downside is parking can be difficult, especially around busy times. Overall, a very enjoyable meal, and the $60 set menu is a great way to try several favorites in one meal. read more

A rare big box/corporate review for me. I have been to other locations in the country and this was my first time at the Austin location. Being a corporate entity, everything is pretty much the same across the board from service to decor and food/drink selections. Cookie-cutter, if you will. Heck, you know this going into this type of establishment. With that said, we had an enjoyable visit with good service and good food. Good wedge and steakhouse salads, filet & ribeye, mashed potatoes, and au gratin potatoes. read more

Tonight, my hubby and I dined at Ruth Chris Steakhouse with about 40 guests, filling the reserved back room and some overflow space. The meal started with a fresh garden salad lightly drizzled with vinaigrette dressing and hot sourdough bread. My husband had filet mignon (served slightly more done than medium‑well), while I had salmon that was crisp-edged, moist, and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery. Dessert was cheesecake with assorted fresh berries, finishing the meal nicely. Service was slow with our entrees taking nearly an hour to be delivered to our table. Dessert was also delayed. Staff rarely checked in without us prompting them. The food was enjoyable, but the sluggish service detracted from the experience. The atmosphere is romantic with dimly lit lighting, black and white along with colorful paintings. Next time, we visit Ruth Chris Steakhouse we will not come with a group. Hopefully, then service will be improved. read more

Service: First shout out to the manager Katie, she's amazing and you can tell she's a great leader and wants her customers to have an enjoyable experience! Second shout out to server Cameron! We literally ask for him now we love him he's attentive, patient, kind, and laughs at our jokes lol. Overall the service here has never failed me whether I've sat at the bar , or in the dining area, the hostess are kind even the valet. I'd always choose to spend my money where the service is outstanding and this Ruth Chris does it every time and I frequent this place so I would know. Food: my food is always prepared the way I request it. My fav Ruth classics just never miss. Compliments to the chefs here over 3 years they have been ultra consistent. Ambiance: this is downtown but doesn't feel like it when you step inside. It's very clean, bathrooms included (that's important). They usually have music playing subtly and I always enjoy myself whether I'm alone, with the kids, date night, or girls night, they've done well for all my occasions. Keep up the great leadership Katie! It's noticed and appreciated and we will stay coming back! And Cameron we will request you as long as you bringing that smile and awesome energy! Thank you both, thank you Ruth Chris! Overall: just go here just because it's Wednesday! read more

Faith was our server, she was so friendly and considerate. We originally scheduled our dinner for 615pm and ended up getting into downtown sooner than expected, they sat us right away, an hour early! Everyone loved the bread, even requested seconds and one to take home. The lobster tail was to die for, shrimp was also tasty, all sides are definitely shareable and delicious. Everyone loved their main dishes. We also ordered crab stuffed mushrooms and calamari, was not able to snag a photo but definitely recommend. Above all the atmosphere was calm, we went out as a family but would recommend for a date night occasion as well. read more

Every aspect of our time at Ruth's Chris Restaurant, Austin, Texas was fabulous! We were greeted by a lovely, positive hostess, the table was set with linen, small red and pink metallic hearts in celebration of our 45th wedding anniversary covered the table, the manager, Ms B. English was most attentive to our party of 5 adults and one child, Executive Chef Mr. J. Cervantes prepared two delicious hors d'oeuvres, five divine entrees, five extra sides, and three fancy desserts! Not only were all of the dishes artfully presented, but each bite was extremely delectable! The atmosphere was elegant with inviting table settings, professional, polished wait staff, timely arrival of cuisine at the perfect temperature! We were not rushed. We were treated like royalty! Thank you, Ruth's Chris, for creating our memorable 45th wedding celebration dinner! read more

Ruth's Chris of Austin was truly an experience, and I'd love to share why. Our server, Katelyn, was one of a kind. She walked us through the different steak cuts with confidence and clarity, even recommending the best knives to use and explaining why. Once she found out we were celebrating our anniversary, she offered us a complimentary glass of champagne--such a thoughtful touch. We ordered the porterhouse, a filet, mushrooms, and the lobster mac. Everything was spot-on. The food was served on warm plates to keep it hot throughout the meal, and the sides were both delicious and shareable. We even had enough to take home. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and elegant. A special shout-out to the valet attendant who was working hard solo--he was hustling and still had a great attitude. The GM, Michael, stood out as well. He wasn't just managing from the sidelines--he was on the floor, carrying food, water, and checking in on tables. That kind of leadership shows. I was honestly nervous after reading all the glowing reviews, but now I get it--they're legit. I think I've found my new go-to spot. read more

Always a lovely experience at Ruth Chris! Their staff is top notch on customer service. This visit we started with Goat Cheese & Artichoke Dip and Crab Stuff Mushrooms. Both were divine, but the Dip.....WOW I need to learn how to make this at home. Absolutely my favorite of the whole meal! For salad I had a Caesar Salad. That was fresh and delicious. The main course I had the Chilean Sea Bass, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus. The potatoes were my fav they were velvety smooth and packed with flavor. The Sea Bass was a bit on the drier side. I probably will not order this item again. Decent flavor, but just not for me. I was trying to stay away from red meat this evening. The dessert of Chocolate Sin Cake was decadent and I could only eat half. A must for dense chocolate lovers. read more

We dined here on Valentine's Day 2025. We opted for Valet parking from the restaurant. It was $15 which is not abnormal for valet parking in Austin. The ambiance was fantastic - quiet enough to have a conversation but not so quiet that you felt like you're in a library. The service from our waiter was outstanding. He recommended a few side dishes and appetizers that were perfect for both of us. He also was kind and packed up our leftovers for us. The food itself was very good. Both steaks were cooked to perfection, calamari was crispy but not oily, sides were very indulgent and delicious. Pricey, but very worth it. read more

This one is hard for me to explain somewhat. We've always had exceptional service and food hear including the alcohol options. With us not the biggest drinkers we normally try and order a couple to share. With that said we were not disappointed. But as lightweight drinkers, two will do as they are stronger than most bars. The food was and always has been top notch, last night was no different. Plate comes sizzling and we go there because we've never had a better steak experience and wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone with a $200+ budget to go. This is the only downside if there could be one. We do this once every few years and won't stop as long as we can get there and afford it. Way to go Ruth's Chris read more

Probably the best steak I've had in my life. As far as experience goes, I'm sure mine was different than others, but I waited 1 hour and 15mins for my food. I didn't even eat it there, ended up taking it home as soon as it came. Ambience is really nice though read more

Decided to spontaneously come here with my parents on a Friday night, and was able to get a reservation an hour from our spontaneous decision. The restaurant itself is nice, decorated and on par with other steak houses. I ordered the "Ruth's Classic- Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail." I chose Lobster Bisque for the Soup, and was pretty disappointed with how the soup tasted. I'm a huge fan of Lobster Bisque and had it from many places. This specific serving was very subpar. The steak, lobster tail, and mashed potatoes were very delicious. It saved my poor experience from the Lobster Bisque. Although the main entree itself was good, I rate this restaurant 3/5 because of the Lobster Bisque and how I found hair/ crumbs on our table. read more

Aside from amazing food, the service here is second to none, the managers, waiters, hostess and even the vale'. All of them are super friendly and accommodating. Even if you have the smallest problem with your food they are on top of it and immediately make it better. The place is quiet, dark and very relaxing and again the food is yummy. My favorite place to eat in austin hands down. read more

We had a reservation at 7:30 PM, but still had to wait an additional 20 minutes to be seated, which was already a frustrating start to the night. Once we were finally seated, the experience didn't improve much. My steak came out extremely charred, to the point it affected the flavor, and my wife's steak was overcooked. For a steakhouse, that's a pretty big miss. On top of that, the service was very slow. It felt like we were forgotten about for long stretches of time, and it was difficult to get consistent attention from our waitress. The sides were also disappointing -- the mac & cheese and mashed potatoes were both lukewarm when they arrived, which made them feel like they had been sitting out. Overall, the experience didn't match the expectations or the price. Between the wait, poor food quality, and slow service, it just wasn't worth it. I wouldn't return based on this visit. read more

The creamy fried shrimp is a must along with the baked chicken stuffed. Of course I took my wife out there and she loved it.

LOCATION + Very close walking distance to Hilton, where we stayed. SERVICE -was good, but could have been better as for as making recommendations. I wish my server would have asked us if we were celebrating any special event so we could have taken a cute photo for our 22nd anniversary. FOOD +was just as delicious as I remember from my first visit at the SATX location. Very generous portions, 3 of us shared a side of potatoes and broccoli, and had leftovers. VALET +service was great! Casual attire is ok since it is located in a popular social downtown area. read more

I went with my family including my newborn baby, experience was incredible. We were greeted very politely and seated immediately. The restaurant manager Brandy was super accommodating and moved a bench from the women's bathroom to the men's bathroom cause she noticed I was taking my newborn in to change him. The waitress Bianca was amazing, friendly and accommodating as well. I had two gift cards to use as well and they made the transaction very easy. The food was also delicious. Thank you everyone read more

9/10. No left overs. We ate everything. Wedge salad... perfect Creamed spinach.. delish Potatoes au gratin .. good but some seemed a little undercooked/hard Steaks. Really good. Sad that I didn't order a bigger steak. Sometimes they can cook unevenly if they are small. I had the oz filet but tmit looked a little smaller oz. Next time I'll get the 11 oz. Service was great. Although it was 30 minutes of standing in heels on mother's day despite reservations. All around a great mother's day meal. read more

Beautiful location and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Our server accidentally spilled drinks on two of our guests, and mistakes happen. They took care of it immediately, assisted the spilled upon parties in the bathroom, and the manager came out to help and give us his info for the dry cleaning bill. Despite that hiccup, our server was still amazing as we ordered and had dinner. The steaks are as flavorful, perfectly cooked, and tender as we have always remembered and expect from Ruth's Chris brand. The crab cakes continue to be a family favorite, and the chocolate sin cake was divine. We will be back, definitely! read more

Our host, Nomerica, went above and beyond expectations! It was my son's Graduation from UT-Austin and we had 10 guest. Ruth Chris, Josh ( our waiter ) and Nomerica left no stone unturned.

Love Ruth Chris BUT the one on 6th st, Austin it Was just OK. Nothing to write home about. Definitely NOT commanding $300.00+ for 3 adults. Steak was just OK. Cattlemen steakhouse was better. And that's a chain restaurant. Service was Great. Steak house maybe another Steak restaurant would be better in Austin. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. We made reservations more than a week before Christmas Eve. We waited with a reservation for more than an hour. And we spoke to the manager who said they would comp an appetizer. The very LEAST they could do. And they didn't take it off the bill. Ruth's Chris for the prices you charge, you need to do better. Do not recommend. There are better, nicer places. It pretty much ruined our lovely evening. read more

Met friends here after work and took advantage of happy hour specials. It was early evening on Tuesday, so there were plenty of seats at the bar. The bartender, Chance provided excellent service! As soon as we took our seats, he was there delivering glasses of water, asking for our drink orders. He answered questions and offered options. When he returned with our drinks and a loaf of bread, we placed our food order. The happy hour menu includes appetizers and sandwiches at a reasonable price. It didn't take long before our delicious shrimp appetizer arrived, followed by our sandwiches. The steak sandwich was great and the fries were phenomenal. The setting made for a nice early dinner with friends, allowing us to unwind and catch up. We were all amazed at how reasonable our delicious meals were, and we plan to return soon for another happy hour experience. read more

We were visiting from out of town and chose Ruth's Chris to celebrate our Anniversary as the food is always delicious when we dine there in our home state (Hawaii). The food was great as always. The service was excellent from the moment we were greeted as we walked in and our server, Katie, was exceptional. The team made our Anniversary celebration even more memorable. We will be back next time we are in town again. read more

Great experience and exceptional service by the staff. I would definitely recommend to friends.

The best move is coming to Ruth Chris for happy hour and sitting at the bar watching tv. You really can't go wrong with their happy hour prices and selection. I got the filet and shrimp on happy hour, it wasn't the best filet but for the price it was fine. We split the fried zucchini fries and Caesar salad. My boyfriend ordered the steak sandwich. He said it was alright - next time he wants to get the burger. Staff was nice. My only complaint was the other guests dining at the bar were extremely loud and annoying which is surprising for behaving like that in a steakhouse right next to the dining room where others can hear. Otherwise, we will be back for another happy hour. read more

Honestly save your money. Went with a group for a bday party for there at 7:30 didn't get our DRINK till almost 8:30... pass

I've always heard great things about Ruth Chris- so we decide to go while in town and celebrate a birthday. The restaurant was really nice, and clean. The staff were super helpful, and kind. You're paying for the experience and I feel like it was overall a great dining experience. The food it self was yummy- my steak was cooked a little more done then I would have liked (it was medium instead of Medium Rare) and the side dishes were a little cold (creamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes). But overall it was yummy. read more

To me, it's all about how you're treated. We made reservations for my birthday and arrived a little bit early, other people were milling around the bar area. I was told there would be at least a one-hour wait. Why do people make reservations or receive reservations if the establishment will honor them? Going on 2 hours wait, management suggested to all the people waiting that the tables in front of the bar were available for use, but nothing in the dining area could be used at this time, So They wanted to make their place seem full for all new arrivals by only seating people with reservations in the window area? The food was ok, the server was excellent and tried to be understanding under the circumstances. Management never shown his face again, Ill never go back, read more

Just wanted to say a big thank you to our waiter and all of the staff at this Ruth's Chris Steak House location for an amazing dining experience! We are here visiting from California. Nothing is open back there so we were pleasantly surprised that we could dine-in. The restaurant itself is so classy and beautiful and perfectly lit throughout. They did a great job with social distancing and masking as well. The service was 100% on point and the meal was excellent and perfectly cooked. I got the filet mignon with shrimp which was tender and seasoned amazingly. I also ordered the garlic mashed potatoes which tasted like homemade. They checked on our table often to make sure everything was fine and the manager even came out to say hello. I was there with my five-year-old daughter and they made it extra special! I will definitely recommend this location to anyone in the area. After dinner, I also recommend taking a nice stroll up to the Capitol building along the Christmas lights streets. read more

Went with my 89 YO Gammy how wanted to treat me to a very nice "memorable" dinner. There are several very disappointing miss steps throughout our meal. For starters, I requested the salad with dressing on the side. The salad arrived dress. The Romaine was anything but crisp. A soggy mess could not even taste the lettuce. I ordered the Cowboy Ribeye. By definition the Cowboy is a thicker cut than a regular Ribeye and is French cut exposing a longer bone. The steak was practically drowning in almost a stick of butter, vs. a dollop. Could not even taste the flavor of the steak it just tasted like butter. The final problem was Gammy's Filet was undercooked. She had loaded her plate with multiple sides, when she requested it be cooked a little more. Upon her steak returning to the table her sides were missing. Their quality has certainly gone down many rungs from my last experience there several years back. Super Disappointment, but it was memorable! read more

Was so delicious. My sister wanted to come here for her birthday. The service was good and so was the food. The location can be kind of stressful, since it's downtown it's hard to find parking. We ordered red wine, salad, soup, steak, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts and lobster Mac n cheese. Everything was pretty much as you would expect of a Ruth Chris's creamy, buttery, delicious. Steak melted in my mouth. The only possible complaint I could have is I remember the lobster Mac n cheese being better in Seattle but, it was so long ago I can't really compare. Would definitely come back for a special occasion, but it would be hard to regularly attend a chain when Austin has so many other unique restaurants to try. read more
