    I took my husband here for a "make-up" birthday dinner, just the 2 of us. We had originally planned to celebrate here on his actual birth date, but I surprised him with dinner somewhere else instead with a bigger party, which he wasn't too happy about, so this was my chance to make it right. He's private and not a fan of birthday fuss. When we arrived, we were about to be seated at a small table near the door. It just didn't feel right for the occasion, so I asked if a booth was available. At first, the host mentioned they were all reserved, but I spoke with Mike, the manager, and explained the situation. He was accommodating, and we lucked out when a booth opened up. Our booth was set with a birthday card and confetti, such a thoughtful touch. Brandon, our server, was great! We knew what we wanted and ordered right away, 2 ribeyes cooked with truffle, 1 with a lobster on top, plus mushrooms, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and lobster mac and cheese for sides. Everything was delicious, and the steaks were cooked perfectly medium. Just when we were ready to get the bill, Brandon surprised us with a birthday cake. My husband gave me a look (since he does not like attention), but I quietly thanked Brandon, and we ended up enjoying it. It was really good cheesecake! 'Twas an awesome birthday dinner. Great ambiance, delicious food, a perfect table, and great service. We'll be back, especially since we live in the area!

    We used to always go to the Ruth's Chris in the Bethesda area, but that one closed a while back. So this is the closest one. We had happy hour here and it was great. The Zucchini fries was a bit less that before but everything else was the same but different price of course a bit more than before. They were quick to get our order and we were able to place pur drinks order right away and our happy hour food. It was very good. I loved it. I love the ambience too the chairs were comfortable and the seating wasn't too crowded unlike some places. This was a good location too, you can walk around afterwards.

    I've passed by Ruth's Chris many time and have not stopped. Recently I met with a friend to continue my birthday celebration, bit we didn't quite nake it for their happy hour. For our main appetizer we ordered the Calamari and Tuna, I've had many Calamari and Tuna appetizer before, but theirs was exceptionally tasty. Our choice of cocktais I had a 9 oz glass of their Cabernet, but I don't recall the brand, my friend had the old fashioned. Service was really good and fast, great staff and we loved the bartender he offered good recommendations. Since we weren't going to do table service and chose to sit at the bar the atmosphere was good, we were able to speak and hear each other. For your first visit to Ruth's Chris I recommend going during happy. I will revisit them during happy hour at some point when my schedule permits..

    It's always a treat when I come to this place. The food was amazing. The service is always first class. The ambiance is cozy and classy.

    Food, service, atmosphere, everything was amazing. Our server Brandon was great, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He helped me pick the RC paper plane, he described the cocktail perfectly it was just like he said a bit sweet and smokey. We started with the small seafood tower, good selection of fresh seafood. I had the lamb chops, they were well seasoned, and so tender. Great date night place or if you're celebrating a special occasion.

    Happy ending

    A truly outstanding experience. I've been to steakhouses all over the US and normally avoid chains but given my son's birthday wishes and the weirdly not-good options in the DC burbs Ruth's Chris won the toss. Holy cow was it a good call. Everyone in the family is super picky but me (ha). The place was about half full on a Sunday evening and enough bustle to make it fun. Of course it's all special occasions. The front desk staff set the tone, our waiter was charming and they have enough staff so someone is always around. I got a NOLA mule cocktail as it's a New Orleans based approach. In fact we stuck to a lot of the 'Ruth's Favorites' and I recommend it. Things are a bit spicy and there's plenty of remoulade and creamy stuff happening. So the food: they bring nice warm mini baguettes and butter. We got the house salad and the barbecue shrimp to start. Son didn't care for shrimp (which were great, big, and succulent so good for me) but enthusiastically mopped up that sauce with bread. Daughter got sea bass, huge chunk cooked like steak, excellent. Son got 'the filet' which was fantastic. Wife did too. I got a mini filet (8 oz) with 'Oscar style' which adds crab cake asparagus and a great bearnaise sauce. They were very kind about the birthday putting special glitter on the table, focusing on the guest of honor and putting out a cute little cheesecake for him at the end. My family said they wouldn't change a thing. I rarely give all the stars but, y'all earned it.

    Great steak house. Amazing food and wonderful service. The ambiance is formal and great for business lunch or dinner. Strongly recommend Ruth if you love meat and want to be in a calm environment.

    Kennedy is an amazing bartender. Everybody is super helpful, fully knowledgeable of the menu and this is a great place for a special occasion.

    Watery lobster mac n cheese
    Charlene E.

    I have only done take out at this location and the ambience is dark and moody. I don't particularly care for their design and color scheme, so aesthetically, it isn't pleasing to me. The staff are friendly and I haven't had any issues with the service. I ordered the lobster mac and I'd have to give it a 8/10. The Mac and cheese was very runny and I didn't care for that too much.

    Best lobster I've ever had. Forget the steak - get the lobster accompaniment. It was the most succulent juicy lobster I've ever had. It was not overcooked in the slightest. The steak was decent too but the lobster stole the attention for us for the night.

    Shrimp Cocktail

    (4.25) ~ Very good Food & service. Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion:) DRINKS: ** Coffee = (4.35) Very Fresh ** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;) FOOD: ** Sweet Potato Casserole = (5) Excellent! ** Bone-in Filet Mignon (medium-rare) = (4.75) Great! Pro-tip, save the extra butter from the breadbasket for your steak;) ** Warm Bread & Butter = (4.25) Very good ** Shrimp Cocktail = (4.25) Very good Cocktail sauce & Large gulf Shrimp (see photo) ** Garlic Mashed Potatoes = (4.25) Very tasty ** Classic Cheesecake = (4.25) Very good & Shareable ** Seared Ahi Tuna = (4) very good & shareable ** Roasted Brussels Sprouts = (4) very good & shareable ** Chocolate Sin Cake = (4) very decadent

    I recently started a self-challenge that called for me to hit the gym no less than four times a week; I decided to reward myself after a month of my new routine with a delicious, high-protein dinner. My friend and I consulted with each other and then the Yelp app; our consensus was steaks at Ruth's Chris, so that's exactly what we did! Before this visit, I'd never been to their location in Gaithersburg before; I'm very happy to report that the food here was every bit as good as my most recent experience with the Manhattan Beach location in Southern California. The service here was exceptional as well :-) We shared our meal family-style. After seeing that the menu includes a full gamut of not only the regular, boneless steak choices but prime, bone-in steaks as well, we decided on a boneless NY Strip and a bone-in Filet. We specified that both steaks should be cooked medium-well, and when they arrived they were seasoned to perfection and cooked precisely as requested. The side dishes were very good, and the selection of wines available by the glass was not only reasonably priced by there was a surprisingly good selection. To be fair, the wines by the glass are about the only part of our meal here that was reasonably priced, but if you don't want to settle for anything less than an incredible steak dinner then I think you'll find that the food here is worth every penny!

    Classic Cheesecake

    Lesley Gore popularized the song titled It's My Party - with an opening line of "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to", well no tears at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse located on Crown Point Avenue, in Gaithersburg, MD. Through a generous gift card received as a volunteer, we enjoyed one of the most memorable meals - EVERY. Perfection is not often chosen to describe most of our dining experiences, however it is THE choice to describe the superior service provided by our server Lillian and in concert with the team behind the scene - perfecting our dinner selections. My choice was the petite fillet - medium well and the birthday girl chose the sizzling crab cake (trio). Seasoned, cooked and served to perfection by Lillian who could ask for more?! Desert menu please! Desert - having traveled for work extensively over the years, I've had the occasion to dine in many upscale restaurants, enjoy cheesecake in famous New York restaurants, however, the classic cheesecake accompanied by fresh berries and mint sprig served this night was the best ever. In fact those other experiences paled in comparison to the fresh, light and incredibly delicious treat. We generally don't chose fine dining when dining out and the experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Gaithersburg has forever changed our minds! Thank you Ruth's Chris!

My fave was the Castella D'Alba (a red blend from Portugal). They offer charcuterie options. It's not a large space so if visiting with a group, reservations are recommended! I can't wait to visit again.

I have to say, though busy, the service didn't miss a beat. Jenn - our server - was attentive/kind and fun. I got the filet mignon with the compound butter and my homie got some BBRibs to complement the aforementioned cornbread. The food came out fast and we got to eating. As always with every time I've been here, it slapped. Sides were solid, the steak was cooked to perfection and them ribs were disappearing off the plate! Good times. We followed up our entrees with a solid - and I mean solid - bread pudding. Jeez, this thing is decadent, but we got after it. Jenn brought us a scoop of ice cream and we went to town! Delicious. If you've got a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and grab the Bread Pudding. It was soft, pillowy, but sweet (not overly sweet) and filling. As for ambiance, again, we were kickin it patio side and could see the water just fine. Honestly, this was a dope backdrop for our super deep convo on Frank Ocean vs. Frankie Beverley.

For dessert, we dove into their Chocolate Uprising: Sort of like a ice cream sandwich on steroids with heavy cream and a chocolate and caramel base. It was fantastic and insane and we just couldn't finish it! I cannot remember having caramel that good (not sweet but rich). The staff is excellent.

I had a perfect Hendrick's Gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and my girlfriend loved her Malibu Bay Breeze.

The chef and kitchen staff are incredible. We'll definitely return to try new dishes but we hope the service is much improved.
