It was wonderful as always. My husband requested a riverside table for my birthday. It was beautiful and relaxing. Service was spot on, the salad bar was epic as always and of course the steaks were amazing. One little suggestion: please put some WD40 on the entrance door hinges. The noise is loud and a little annoying. Still love ya though. read more

We were playing at Harrah's Cherokee casino and trying to figure out what we wanted to eat for dinner. We remembered there was a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on the casino property. Wifey quickly went in the Caesars Rewards app and booked a reservation. We walked over, approached the hostess podium and advised we had a reservation. Within 2 - 3 minutes they called our name to be seated. We were led to a small table for two and provided menus. I felt like we were waiting a while before our server came over. While we were waiting we reviewed the menu. We were trying to decide what we wanted to eat and drink but didn't really see any beers on the menu. Our server finally arrived and we asked what the beer selection was. She named about five of the usual suspects and a couple local craft options. Wifey got a Heineken and I ordered the local IPA. Our server returned with our beers, water and asked if we had any questions about the menu. Wifey kept it simple with the Lobster Mac & Cheese as her entree and I ordered the Chilean Seabass with a side of Potato Au Gratin. While we were waiting for our food I noticed the dining room was spotless, with a real high end feel. The food arrived pretty quickly and everything was prepared perfectly. We enjoyed our meals, got our second wind and we're ready to hit the casino floor again. Overall, I felt like there were a few gaps where we were waiting for service, but nothing to the point where I was banging on the table. When dining at Ruth Chris, there is just a level of service you expect and I felt there was room for improvement in that area. read more

First up, Kyle is an amazing server. We really enjoyed his personality. Cheers to Kyle! Secondly, this was our second time eating here at Ruth's in the casino. The reason I didn't write a review after the first visit was because I needed to give them a second chance. The first visit was not good. All I will say about it is thank goodness they removed the lobster bisque from the menu. And word of advice about most restaurants, you don't want to be one of the last tables before closing. No one wants to be there! Ok, back to January 2026! We had 8:15 reservations. We stopped by to see if we could be seated earlier and they said they had nothing available. Ummmmm, there was like 20-30 tables open! They just didn't have the servers. So we waited and got Kyle, who again was awesome. Because of something wrong with my throat, I could only order soft food. So I ordered the Veal Osso Buco Ravioli and Au Gratin potatoes. The ravioli was a table win for all of us! Best bite of the night. The potatoes were not a winner. Au gratin potatoes are supposed to be in a flavorful cheesy cream sauce. We got a bowl of diced white potatoes with melted cheese on top. No seasoning. No sauce. I was looking for soft food, not flavorless! It was not a good look for a steak house. Speaking of steak, JD did enjoy his steak both visits, so they've got that very important part going for them. The restaurant is huge. I saw a sign out front that its capacity is 600+. But with their staffing issues, at least they realize not to seat a full restaurant. They even had signs up that To-Go orders were not allowed the Friday night we were there. Would I eat here again, yes. Is it a must have when at the casino? Not for me. read more

Entire meal was great! Steak was cooked perfectly, salad was delicious, and the espresso martini was amazing. This is by far the best restaurant in the casino. Nicole took great care of us! They ran out of lobster tails, but she still made sure we had an excellent experience and did not disappoint. read more

Tried the 3 courses for $60. I got the Caesar salad, filet and shrimp, mash potatoes, and chocolate cheesecake. My friend got the house salad, salmon and shrimp, mash potatoes, and classic cheesecake. My filet and Galicia mash potatoes were delicious! The shrimp lacked flavor. My friend was constantly picking out pieces of bones from her salmon. Our server Nicole was great! But overall we had a great time! read more

The food was absolutely not worth the price. My cocktail was trash bottom shelf garbage sold at top shelf price. The staff was absolutely excellent.

The sides were not great either. Just disappointing. read more

5:30 reservation on a Saturday night. Seated promptly. Good service. Yummy food. We were checked on by at least two managers. You can charge the meal to your room at the hotel to get points and if you have Caesar's rewards points you can apply them against your bill. Will come back when we return to Cherokee. read more

The food and service was amazing but they clearly don't have enough staff to be an efficient restaurant. We had to stand in line for a seat at the bar because they said they're fully committed through January 3rd!!! Meanwhile, I saw a gazillion empty tables, which tells me they have capacity to handle the traffic or consumers, but not the staff. Well, that's puzzling given the status of our country and the fact that I know without any doubt that if there was communication that servers were needed in this rural town, I feel confident they'd respond and this restaurant would be fully staffed. (My two cents). Everything else was aight,.. read more

Food=Great as always. Service=Great as always. Problems= hostess was so rude! We had a reservation we had made months ago and had to wait behind a gate for the 4 PM opening. We were the first to be seated, but she tried to put us in a long banquet next to other diners. We asked for a quieter table and had to wait 20 minutes to be reseated. We asked for a booth but were told we would have to wait for management approval which could be another 20 minute wait, even though all booths were empty as was 99% of the restaurant. After dinner, we didn't want to keep their table occupied so asked if we could finish our cocktails in the bar. It was 6:30 by this time and we had been there 2 1/2 hours and spent over $300.00. The bar waitress told us we were not allowed in the bar, that we would have to finish our cocktails outside where it was raining. She said people were waiting for the bar tables, most of which were empty. There was no line waiting for bar tables. We left, but it left a bitter taste in our mouth for the way we were treated. They need better help at this location. read more

Good: Ceasar salad yes. Full of flavor and chopped so it's a perfect bite. Well dressed. Stuffed Baked Chicken. Wow. The skin was crispy, the meat tender and the cheese was creamy and a perfect balance Highly recommend Service, excellent. Dirty dishes were whisked away and every person was so kind. Ambiance: calming even though it's in the casino in Cherokee. read more

Service was awesome . Food was hands down the best . Absolutely beautiful decor . We had a fantastic time at dinner. I could have done the meal all over that night. 10/10 recommend stopping in whether you are staying at the casino or not. read more

We are Ruth's Chris junkies and have visited dozens of locations through the years, so when we visited Harrah's Casino last summer we knew we had to make a special dinner trip. The food, service staff and atmosphere did not disappoint. Though we were disappointed to learn the lobster bisque is no longer on the menu. We will definitely return to this location and recommend you check out the Comedy Zone and shows that make the perfect overnight getaway. read more

Not sure what the deal is with Ruth's!!! Ordered a $55 steak (filet none the less). It was as chewey and sinewy as hash house steaks. WTF!! Nice meal ruined. Spent $170 for brunch and it was such a disappointment. Not our first clunker at RC. Seems to be becoming the norm and not the exception!! read more

Outstanding service by a lovely server (Laura) and outstanding food as always! This location is inside Harrah's Cherokee Casino which is also amazing. Seated by the fireplace, we three ladies shared an 11 ounce Filet Mignon and sides of delicious mushrooms and potatoes au gratin - just the right amount! And we had room for a few bites each of bread pudding. read more

My family and I came to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I had been ranting and raving about the stuffed chicken for days. In doing so, 4 out of my 6 person party ordered it. I ordered mine with extra stuffing and was super excited. We ordered bottles of wine, we had a great time while waiting for our food etc. The food starts to come out and I get my chicken. It's flat. There's no stuffing in it, at all. The other three are fine. I ordered first, my chicken should've come out first, at best. The manager took it off the bill and let me order on them but I wanted the chicken. The next day - my bill updated about $200 stating "after tip". We left a huge tip in cash and on my receipt, I wrote "CASH". Right now, I'm fighting with Ruth's Chris about my charge. Overall, this experience was horrible. Not sure if I'll eat here again. This is my 6th or 7th time eating here, also. Just a shame! read more

Love Ruth's Chris Steak House. This was my first visit to this location and it didn't disappoint. First class food and service all the way. The entrance is right inside the casino. We went on a Friday night and this place was jammed. We had to wait about 10 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Great experience. We will be back. read more

My husband and I have heard of Ruth's Chris and everyone raved about them. We can see why. During our casino weekend we tried to find a reservation and they were booked! Luckily our schedule was open and we were able to get in for an early dinner. When I say that the service was top notch; I mean we couldn't ask for anything better. Our server was on it; she helped us to make great food selections based on our tastes and drink recommendations as well. The restaurant was beautiful; there is something to say for simple elegance. While the restaurant was packed you wouldn't know. We were able to enjoy ourselves and have great conversation. Our food arrived and it was beautiful from the start! My husband and I kept raving about how great it looked and smelled. Our food was sweet perfection; the steaks arrived in heated plates so they were tender and warm. The lobster Mac and cheese was fantastic. Each time we took a bite of our food; we melted more and more. read more

A great celebration dinner at Ruth's Chris. We started with the small seafood tower which had crab meat, split legs, and delicious jumbo shrimp. Our waiter, Mitchell, brought us heated butter to go with the seafood. I had a huge T-bone cooked exactly as ordered and a baked potato. My wife enjoyed the filet with crab meat. We weren't even able to finish half the steaks and they carefully boxed our leftovers. If you want to splurge on a great meal, I highly recommend Ruth's Chris. read more

Can you believe this MY first time(definitely not last)at Ruth Chris? My stomach has been a terrible thing to work with this month so I couldn't get a steak. First and foremost.. make a reservation.. you still may have to wait to be seated but it wasn't as long as the line to wait at the bar.. yup a line... now I knew I should of just asked can I take the one seat that was available but the people in front of me was already waiting an hour for 2 chairs so I didn't want to make them upset. I finally sat down and the service was slow. We were informed they were short staffed and for that I was patient even though I just wanted to grab food and go. I didn't get a drink but I got Sierra Mist. I decided to order stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes. I loved every bite! I kind of want to go back today for it and a drink. read more

Best food choice in the Harrah's Casino, but you need to make reservations well in advance for busier days. This trip, we dined here twice. The first was a four star - ok service, steak perfect, but the lobster bisque disappointed as the lobster was mushy. Passed on that for night two. Our second dining experience was truly exceptional. Jasmine, our professional server and menu guide, was wonderful. She made this experience a 5+ for our birthday celebration. The filet Oscar was out of this world. Garlic mash, the salads, and deserts were tasty. The hostess was very friendly. We had a great time and a wonderful meal. Thanks, Jasmine!!! read more

Have you ever been disappointed at Ruth's Chris steakhouse? This one is no exception. Take your casino winnings and have a fabulous dinner!

Can I give a million stars for customer service!!? Visited from out of town and dined here over the weekend. My brother made reservations online for 6 even though we had 7. For some reason we weren't able to reserve for more online. We arrived about 10:10PM and let them know we had a extra person. We were told it wasn't a problem and waited about 10 mins for our table. This location had a very upscale intimate atmosphere. Once seated our server Rob took our drinks and gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered a side of brussel sprouts and crab cake. My husband ordered the steak and lobster meal, that included the appetizer and dessert. Shortly after, Rob came back to apologize, he informed me they'd ran out of crab cake. I'd been craving it for a couple of weeks, so I pretty disappointed. But was ok with just eating brussel sprouts. When our food came, they brought me 1 sizzling crab cake!! (I think they normally come in 2). I was VERY happy and the little girl in me was screaming inside! Lol. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My husband shared some of his steak with me and it was delicious! I haven't had steak this good in a while. read more

Outstanding experience at Ruth's Chris this trip. We had dinner two nights in a row and there was a huge difference in service compared to our last trip. We were greeted so kindly by the hosts and our servers were both excellent. The food was all cooked perfectly from Filet to seafood to sides. The Chopped salad is my favorite and I highly recommend to anyone who has never had it. The sweet potato casserole is always divine. This time, I tried the fish and shrimp. Today, there was salmon and shrimp on a bed of spinach. Everything was cooked to perfection. I am so excited to see that they have improved since our last trip! read more

4 starts based solely on food taste but the entire night was ok. 8 of us in town for a golf outing and we wanted a nice steakhouse. We have all been to Ruth Chris but this one needs help. The place is nice, the staff friendly but the soup took forever to come out and it was warm at best. The steak and seafood.... My steak was cooked Pittsburgh and it was fantastic but the three succulent shrimp were tiny at best. The others "liked" their dinner but the kitchen needs help. If we were home and not on vacation we would have left. read more

While staying at Harrahs I noticed they had a Ruth's Chris on property. Always in the mood for a delicious steak, I immediately made a reservation. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately at our reservation time. Honestly I think we were even a few minutes early and it was no problem. Our server was very friendly, helpful, and professional. I ordered a Manhattan cocktail straight up and it was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. It was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced, very impressed. For dinner I ordered a Ribeye, with au gratin potatoes, and a wedge salad. The salad was very good and packed with tasty ingredients and a topped with a tasty blue cheese dressing. The au gratin potatoes were a hit as usual. Who can say no to all that cheesy goodness? The Ribeye was expertly cooked medium rare and seasoned to perfection. Each bite was tender, flavorful, just what you expect out of Ruth's Chris. Next I stay at Harrahs I will definitely enjoy another steak here. read more

Service was great, gave recommendations, made sure we had what we wanted The Oscar: Ive had better crab cake...I prefer a crunchy crust on my crab cake, but there was glad to see more crab meat than flour. The asparagus was good! Chop: I wish I knew the salad was going to already have the sauce on...kind of tasted like mayo? But I still really liked it! Good mix and didn't taste like straight rabbit salad. Do wish the greens felt more fresh, seemed a bit limp. Mashed: No complaints, maybe more seasoning or just pair it with your food. Stuffed: The stuffing was good, made me think of chicken Alfredo Cheese: Best thing I had at the restaurant. Liked the crust, very thick though Atmosphere was very dark lighting, but overall...maybe I should have had some steak? read more

Sadly this location in cherokee needs work. My server Imade M, left us aline for 40 mins waiting on our dinner. He never came by to check on us, to see if we needed more drunks or anything. My Cesar salad was covered in an ridiculous amount of shaved Parmigiano to.cover the stale lettuce underneath. My lamb chops were cooked to the correct temp but were so tough! There was no gravy or chutney for them and they were out of mint jelly. At that point tale thr lamb off the menu until you can serve it correctly. This location has become so commercialized that the class and service has gone to hell. read more

My cousins and I love to treat ourselves when we visit the casino and have an Xmas tradition of staying at the casino with a big dinner the night of! I honestly think we ordered almost one of everything on the menu...at least it looked like it with the amount of food we had for 4 people! Too funny..as I'm adding the pictures, I can't believe we ate all that! Every single thing was excellent! I'd have to say that the Sea Bass was the star on top of the Christmas food tree for me! Ha! Really can't go wrong with this location! Service is always on point as well! read more

Our reservation was for 7:30 P.M. They made us wait until 7:40 to be seated which was a little strange since half of the seating at the restaurant was empty. Afterwhich, we enjoyed a wonderful meal with exception to the crab cakes that I'll get to in the food section. Service: The service was really good and the manager came by to check on us because our crab cakes were taking longer than expected. She also fulfilled our request for extra bread while we waited. The waitstaff was present but did not hover and were not overbearing which was appreciated. Someone at the bar started choking and had a medical emergency while we were there, and the staff handled it very professionally. Food: After ordering we were greeted with fresh warm bread and butter. The bread and butter was very warm, soft, and pillowy. The complimentary bread and butter is top quality at this Ruth Chris. I cannot recommend the crab cakes which were to say the least a letdown. My crab cake was soft mushy, lacked color, was cold in the middle, and had bits of shell throughout. It took them an extra long time to make the crab cakes so I think what happened is they ran out and tried to quickly pick meat, pat them into patties, and send them out. The result was a mushy underdone crab cake with shell pieces in every bite. For our entree we ordered the Porterhouse for two which was phenomenal. This steak was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. The Porterhouse for two is more than enough for two people and is guaranteed to satisfy. Overall: This is a Ruth Chris with good servers who aren't afraid to use humor to make you feel at ease. They have very good steaks which are unbeatable and fantastic bread. It's a shame this location does not operate at or near full capacity and can not get crab cakes right. read more
