I was pleasantly surprised with Ruth Chris the ambiance of the restaurant is so calming. Immediately greeted and shown to the room where the event was happening. Such a nice group of workers, very attentive and helpful. The NY Strip was booked to perfection and the sides were tasty as well. I'll definitely return on my own to try other menu items. read more

Let me start by saying this place definitely lived up to it's price tag. We were greated almost immediately and the ambiance of this place felt very warm. It definitely had that Valentines feel because most of the staff had on some kind of red. The service was immaculate, the people filling up the water never let me go below glass half fulf. Our waitress was very informative with answering our questions. You could hear my chicken before you could see it so I knew that being cold would have never been an issue. All in all this place is Gold standard for me so far till I journey amongst more establishments like this one. Well done Ruth's Chris. read more

My partner and I were celebrating an anniversary and decided to give Ruth's Chris a try. Upon entering the restaurant, we were promptly greeted and shown to our table. The restaurant was nice and spacious, and there was something playing on the piano in the room. Our waiters were very attentive and helpful throughout the whole dinner. We ordered: - Calamari: this was very good, the Thai chili sauce that accompanied the dish was delicious! - Cowboy Ribeye: this was ok, it was cooked perfectly to our preference but lacked flavor - Sizzling crab cakes: this was also just ok, they had a lot of lump crab meat in there but also lacked flavor - Mashed potatoes: this was very disappointing, there was no flavor to it at all and the potatoes were very running. The texture was as if they used instant potato mix and added too much water - mushrooms: this was okay, pretty standard - bread: this was provided to the table and was fine - the bread also lacked flavor The service was amazing, we were checked on very often but not too often that our conversation was disrupted. However, the food overall was very disappointing, especially for the price we paid for. I'm not sure if we will be back. read more

I ate at Ruth Chris tonight and it was terrible. I requested for my steak to have no charring and unfortunately had to send it back. The manager Cicily Bodiford was horrible. She came to my table being extremely rude and very disrespectful. She stated you have sent your steak back before and I explained I've been coming here weekly for over 8 years and yes if charred I do. I explained to her I've sent my steak back 3 times in time period. Unfortunately twice with her. This is the first thing she said when approaching my table. I was shocked. She stated perhaps we can't cook your steak for you. While I was speaking she cut me off and continued to try to discourage me from ever returning. She was better as a hostess and her promotion to a manager with no problem solving skills makes her terrible at her position. When asked who was the GM, she stated they wasn't here and then stated she didn't who that would be. She offer no other resources of a complaint but herself when she was the one I need to speak to someone about. When you are paying $330-400 on a meal weekly ant that location on Huguenot, you expect better customer service. She even complained about me to her staff. Terrible Manager. read more

Hi, our reservation was booked under Ezra Bethea. When we arrived, we were greeted very well and the service overall was great. I do want to be honest I was a little impatient at first because our food took almost an hour, which I understand may have been due to a party. I also came specifically for the lamb chops, and the first order was overcooked. However, I couldn't stay upset because the service was truly immaculate. My server was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive the entire time. I also want to give a special thank you to the manager who was on duty tonight. The way you handled the situation and made sure everything was corrected did not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism. The second order of lamb chops came out PHENOMENAL. They are my favorite dish, and whoever prepared them the second time did an amazing job seriously, well done! My sides came out perfect the first time, and everything paired so well with my spicy strawberry margaritas. I'll definitely be calling tomorrow to personally thank everyone because the way this was handled really turned the experience around. read more

They were prepared for the holiday rush tonight!!! Everything was perfect! The host was sweet! Our waiter was wonderful! It was packed but not crowed! The food was delicious! Everything was cooked just as we ordered. Everything was fresh! The shrimp cocktail, 10/10. The goat cheese and artichoke dip, 10/10. The filet, cooked medium... it was so tender and juicy.... 10/10. The crabcakes were AMAZING!!! The meat was lump and juicy! 10/10. My favorite dish of everything was the sweet potato casserole... that was like 1000000/10!!! I would come back for that alone! This was our first time here and they did it right! We will be back! read more

Shout out to Timothy last night!! He was amazing! It was my boyfriend's and I's first time there and he helped us with the menu and gave AMAZING recommendations!

I can't wait to try it again and I hope to get Timothy again as my server!!! read more

One of our favorites when celebrating a special occasion (in this case a birthday). Our server Alyssa did a great job filling all of our requests - and it was a pleasure seeing Cicily, the manager. She always stops by to make sure our meal and experience is what we expected. While we are sad she is no longer serving (she was an amazing server), she is doing a great job as manager. The food was delicious; already looking forward to next time! read more

The dining area was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Ruth's Chris is ultimate in fine dining at historic Belgrade Plantation. Service was meticulous, professional and friendly with unbeatable attention to detail. All of the appetizers and entrees were perfectly prepared and presented. Desserts were decadent and delicious. I was shocked and disappointed that Ruth's Chris apparently does not value a dress code for their customers. Our party was nicely dressed (coats and ties) other parties were nicely dressed in buttoned down shirts and dresses. A couple other groups were in T-shirts. Although I'm sure they were perfectly nice people, it bugged me enough to deduct a star. I hope that the management can tighten up and resolve this issue. It is sometimes difficult to get a reservation so plan ahead. read more

Fantastic service for "Happy Hour" in the bar area!! Great price for food and cocktails!!. Delicious food and great drinks. The staff was amazing and very polite. We had a party of 7 and everyone in our group thought it was fantastic. I apologize for the late review but this was for a visit in October. This was also our 3rd time for our October visit at this location. Always, always fantastic service, and a beautiful location. We have dined in the main dining room several times and that is a completely different and even more amazing experience. The servers carry trays balanced on one hand above their heads with four or five entree's on them. I'm talking a round tray that has to be at least 3 feet in diameter. This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever visited and my career has taken me to all seven continents on this beautiful planet. read more

We're regular Ruth's Chris diners and decided to visit this location for its historic setting. The former plantation house is beautiful and I would have loved to look around more. It is at the end of a strip mall, but that just means that the parking is convenient. (No need to valet!) Food was top notch quality, but the service left just a little to be desired. Just small things like not asking if we wanted another round of cocktails or offering coffee with our dessert. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Exterior of Ruth's Chris at the Historic Bellgrade Plantation. - Steakhouses Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

The food is over priced. It used to be good, but now the portions are smaller and they're more expensive so honestly, I feel that this is a snob trap. People go there to show off that they can spend money on dinner. It's really kind of sad because it started out as a really good steakhouse and now that's just a stop wrap if you're looking for a good value in a steak don't come here. read more

Went for a birthday dinner with the family, they messed up 3 of the 5 steaks we ordered, then brought them and they were completely overdone. I said I didn't want mine and the manager offered to take it off and give me something else for free ... we waited 25 minutes, the waiters cleared the table and passed out dessert menus BEFORE I got my entree. Brought out the fish and some potatoes au gratin that looked like something that just came out of the microwave.. didn't even know what it was I would strongly advise against this place, save your money! read more

My wife and I have gone to Ruth's Chris to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, etc. for the past 20+ years. We have not been disappointed until last night. For my birthday celebration, I decided to forget the high price and ordered a $72 medium-rare ribeye steak. After 45 minutes, it arrived sizzling in butter. I took one bite and found it was cooked medium-well and quite tough. I sent it back to the grill jockey to 'uncook' it. A half hour later, they returned with another steak cooked medium and also tough. I ate less than half of it and took the rest home. It might work in a beef stew with root vegetables. As usual, there were pretty paintings, and everything was spotlessly clean. The servers were prompt and attentive. They covered for their semi-skilled assistants. The pianist struggled to entertain on a piano that was very badly out of tune. Fortunately, he took a break while we had the tiny bite of cheesecake termed dessert. Alas. The end of an era! read more

Bobby Bobby he's our man if he can't do it nobody can! Bobby's service alone made my party's experience pleasure! He knows his way around the menu and was helpful in providing menu suggestions when stuck between options. Food/Drinks: The food and drinks were delicious however, they can stand to improve their garlic mashed potatoes; they lack garlic and are extremely too loose for my liking. Overall I enjoyed my visit and would return. read more

So I went for my birthday, the table was decorated with confetti which was promising. The server however not once acknowledged my birthday nor did he bring out a birthday dessert. Well that was disappointing, but what was more disappointing is my filet and lobster tail tasted like it was truly from outback steakhouse. There was nothing special about it. I guess I will have to take this place off my list of favorite restaurants and try book binders instead. read more

I get the hype. We've been to Ruth's Chris a few times for a birthday dinner and an occasional happy hour but hadn't been for over a year. This time was for Valentine's Day. We typically order calamari as an appetizer but this time I wanted to try the barbecued shrimp it was amazing. I'm dying to know what was in that sauce! For dinner I ordered the stuffed chicken breast and my boyfriend ordered the New York strip. We shared asparagus and lobster Mac and cheese. I already can't wait until our next visit. Also would like to mention Ashley our server who was super nice and always on it with whatever we needed. The piano player and a very nice touch as well and added that final fine dining touch. read more

Me and my wife love the ambiance of Ruth Cris. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Very romantic setting. This was the first year since me and my wife have been married that we have not eaten at Flemings for our anniversary. The food at RC is amazing. My steak was cooked almost perfectly (not quite mediumrare in the middle, but close to it, needed 40 more seconds on the grill). The taste was amazing. My wife loved the crab cakes and the stuffed chicken. The fries at RC were amazing, and the cheesecake was great! Our cocktails were delicious. RC had a great wine and champagne selection. They need to put cherries on that cheesecake to make it perfect. The service was great until! This particular day, my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary with my sister and her husband. At the end of the night, there were two checks for a party of four. Two people on each check, for some strange reason Ruth Cris decided to add automatic gratuity for our check with two people on it. Me and my wife were both offended. It was like they thought we were not going to leave a tip. I never knew a restaurant to apply a gratuity to a two person check. Hey RC, we are good tippers! What if our service was not good, you have to give some discretion to the customer and trust them. Outside of the bad check, the rest of the experience was very pleasant. read more

Brought my girlfriend there for her bday...food was good except for my Ribeye...was tough...wasn't too impressed..especially for a $75 steak...don't understand why you bring plates out that are 500 degrees but nothing underneath...think I burnt myself 3 times and to top off the dinner..the server was great, but he tells us at the beginning he would like to buy us a dessert for her bday...okay, Great! He brings menus, we order a dessert...he brings the check and says, unfortunately, they won't allow me to buy the dessert, but I brought u a little cheesecake to go!?? Really? We wouldn't have ordered a dessert...not to mention, we dropped $260 in this place and u can't cover a $14 dessert? Do better Ruth Chris! read more

My co workers and I wanted somewhere nice and fancy to go to on a Saturday night. We decided to dine at Ruth Chris for dinner, our first time at this restaurant. Location was easy to find. The place was neat and nice and the atmosphere was great. We were a little late but was greeted nicely and was seated right away. The service was good and food was good, food was not cheap at all but amazing. I had chicken and they had steaks, they were cooked right and tasted good. Sides were good and drinks were good. I got a virgin pina colada. Salad was great. It was a great first time experience. Waiter was nice and attentive and we got our food in a timely manner. I don't mind going back. Again, food is not cheap but worth it, especially for special occasions. read more

I know Ruth's Chris Steak House is a chain with over 100 restaurants across the country. However this review is for the Midlothian location on Huguenot Rd. My wife made reservations for December 22nd, 2021 two days before my 42nd birthday. Who doesn't want a steak dinner for their winter birthday? The Midlothian location is inside the old Belgrade Plantation mansion. It was used as a hospital and now it's used for the best steak house in Midlothian. You need to remember that in December of 2021 the COVID19 PANDEMIC was happily raging on with stupid variants (Omicron), mask mandates, staff shortages, low morale, supply chain issues, etc. I was nervous if I'm being honest. My expectations for good food and good service were set pretty low. Pandemic fatigue is very real and food service workers are well within their right to feel some type of way. This is where the automatic gratuity comes in to save the day! At least that's my take on it, when hard working food service workers are guaranteed anywhere from 15% to 18% gratuity workers *might* be just feel more valued and incentivized. I'm happy to say this was the case for my birthday dinner. The service was First Class all the way. The food was even more decadent. Dare I say this steak may have taken the #1 spot in my travels? I had my usual ribeye, my wife and son had the filet, and we all shared the divine lobster macaroni and cheese. We also drank a lovely bottle of red wine (Hedges Family CMS 2017) and topped it off with dessert. My birthday was exquisite and the steaks melted in your mouth. Did I mention they also decorated the table with birthday confetti? I appreciate all those little extra touches. In closing, everything about that night was superb. Truly 5 stars. read more

Not a great food experience. 4 of the 5 steaks were overcooked (ordered medium-rare, they came out well done, no pink), and one steak received the wrong topping (asked for the 3oz lump crabmeat on special but received crab cake). A few of the sides came out luke warm. We didn't complain or say anything to the servers/manager because we were invited here for a bday dinner and didn't want the host to feel bad. The service was good, martinis were good. I've had good meals at Ruth's Chris when I went 10+ years ago, but have been going to local steakhouse, "Buckheads" for the past decade and have had nothing but excellent meals there. Over cooked steaks, and luke warm sides wouldn't happen at Buckheads. Completely overcooking 4 of 5 steaks that cost $55+ a la cart is unacceptable. Just go to Buckheads... read more

Decided to surprise my boyfriend with a Thursday just because date. He's not a fan of steak so I wanted to catch their happy hour so we could order burgers. Their happy hour is limited to the bar area only which is a real bummer especially during covid with limited seating. We were able to make it during a time where there was room for us. I ordered a $14 pomegranate martini and the waitress checked my id. A few minutes later a man comes over and says "hi I'm the manager let me see your id" which was very weird. He stares at my licensee and bends it several times. He asked me my date of birth and then says they've had an influx of fake ids. Then he asked me to take off my mask so he could see me face. After he was done bending my very real ID, he decides that I passed his inspection. While I understand it's important to not serve alcohol to minors he was very rude in his approach. He could have started with a "hey we've had a few fake ids lately, do you mind if I take a look at your ID". The waitress was much nicer than he was so maybe he could take some customer service lessons from the staff members. The entire interaction with him was very unpleasant. We ordered the spicy shrimp which is the best thing ive tried here, highly recommend. The burger and fries were fine. This will be my last time dining here. The prices and taste/treatment just don't align. read more

$72 rib eye was a very thin piece of beef overcooked with no flavor. I had a $18 breakfast steak that was so much better. service was okay but my server sent my drink back because she forgot who ordered! very disappointing meal. read more

I went for a special occasion and they did not disappoint. From the service to the ambience, to the food to the privacy, it was just mmmmmuah perfect. Their prices are high, yes, but it's a local place that makes you feel special and exclusive with their level of service. They're a hidden gem, and offers you a great experience without seeming pretentious. They have a cute lobby in which you can explore their history - it's actually pretty cool - and they have a bar in which you can hang out for a but. ThinkMorton's but brighter, more airy, and much more fun with ample parking. I'd recommend their food, especially their steaks,but I also have a soft spot for a good brulee. Highly recommend for a nice fancy dinner to celebrate something special! read more

So my son decided to pick me up from work and have dinner on him. We ended up here.......total shock! My kids are not shy to finer things but this made my hear smile. He is truly a sweet young man. I come often to Ruth Chris and enjoy the food, wine and interactions with guest/staff. This visit the food selections were made flavorful and timely. However, my salmon was a little under cooked compared to my last visit. But the crab cakes made up for it tremendously. Howver,the greeter at the door made a comment of did he get into Harvard is that what brings you in today. Now, I Might be a little sensitive at the comment. But I had to advise her no but he is a college graduate the completed college 2 years early. To which he worked hard for and now he is gainfully employed within a few months of graduating. But he is able to afford to take his mother to dinner to express his love and appreciation for you hard work and efforts to ensure he beat the odds. I kindly smiled at her and went about my day. There's no real reason to decide to have dinner at any particular establishment. But clearly she is only use to seeing certain ethnic groups for celebratory purposes. I am confused but shall return with my girlfriends for drinks and ladies night dinner read more

This place is on the high end. If you are looking for a regular place to eat, this is not one. This is more for special occasions... unless you have the funds like that. One word..."Inflation." I digress. I've visited twice and have mixed reviews. The first time was really lovely, I ordered the steak, lobster mac, and spinach dip. Now, please note that these are sharable-sized sides. Yes, I had a friend with me. The spinach dip was a miss for me. Just didn't seem thick enough for me. The Mac and cheese never disappoint. I was upset that they gave most of my sides to my friend. I thought they would distribute things evenly. The second time I visited, my steak was overcooked. I wasn't a fan and only enjoyed my casserole and mac and cheese. The ambiance and decor were very nice. It is pretty dark inside, but they do have outdoor seating. They also have more personal seating inside that has a lot more window lighting. Overall, I would say this place is more of an experience than just the food. If you come just for the food (specifically the steak), you could have a hit or miss based on the cook. The staff has been awesome each time I visit. Even when I was given a complete (beyond done) steak (I ordered medium), the waiter was willing to have another cooked for me. I politely declined because I don't like to waste food and enjoyed the rest of my food. I will still give this place five stars because of the staff's hard effort, but I would really appreciate it if the cooks over the steaks were consistent. I'll toss it up as a one-off. read more

The service and food is top notch at this location. My wife had a filet with lobster tail and I had the lamb chops. All were cooked perfectly and tasty. We shared the au gratin potatoes which were only OK. I had a house salad to start and it was a bit limp. Those sides cost them a star. All aspects should be great at these prices. They know how to cook prime steaks and it is expensive. With cocktails and tip the meal was just over three hundred for two people, but I knew it would be around that. read more

Great meal on New Year's Eve. We ate early dinner at 5:30. We started with stuffed mushrooms and cocktails. My wife ordered the lamb chops and I ordered the 16 oz. New York strip.

Food, outstanding. Service, excellent (Erik). Value, terrible. While this was not our visit to Ruth Chris, it think it will be out last. It just isn't worth it. Now don't get me wrong, I know a good steak and I am more than willing to pay for one. For that reason, if I don't already know, I ask the staff if their offerings of steaks are wet aged or dry aged (and for how long), prime or choice, grass fed or corn fed. But we just didn't feel like we received a good enough value to return. It's disappointing. We really enjoy and feel like we receive a much better value from other restaurants in town. Our favorite is Flemings, and a close second of Hondos. [We also liked Morton's (when they were in town) and several other local and chain steak houses] Both are in the same general price, but it's just a better value. Even The Hard Shell and The Tobacco Company (yes, I know, they are a little lower in price) offer a better *value*. Sorry Ruth Chris, but we will not be returning. You simply need to do better. read more

I visited Ruth's Chris Steak House for the first time on 1/29/2023 in celebration of my upcoming birthday, and it was, by all accounts, a memorable experience. Firstly, the environment was welcoming from the moment we stepped foot into the establishment. The hostesses were smiling and friendly upon entry, and we seated ourselves momentarily by the fireplace in anticipation of our table being ready. The ambiance was elegant and classy, yet warm and inviting. Our server, Kailey, was incredibly precious: She was personable, charming, informative, elaborative, and attentive, and contributed significantly to what was undoubtedly a positive first-time experience - we couldn't have been more pleased with her level of service, and would not hesitate to request her on subsequent visits. For our appetizer, we ordered the barbecued shrimp, which was PERFECTLY cooked and sinfully delicious: It was succulent and indulgent, and the sauce added a buttery sweetness with a subtle hint of barbecue - easily my favorite menu item, hands down. The Caesar salad preceded my entree and, while fresh, was underwhelming at best. The lettuce was fresh and crispy, and the cherry tomatoes were equally fresh and juicy. The cheese was strong in flavor, which was especially appreciated, and the croutons were light and crunchy with a buttery, garlic flavor. However, the dressing left much to be desired, as it was relatively light in comparison to others. Overall, the Caesar salad as a whole was virtually flavorless, and my least favorite menu item, as a result. My entree item, the 11 oz filet, was PERFECTLY and BEAUTIFULLY cooked to the desired medium rare. It had a mild, but noticeably 'beefy' flavor, and was satisfyingly tender. The seasonings penetrated beautifully, creating a layered flavor profile that was simple, yet captivating in anticipation of the next bite - 10 out of 10 recommend. As for the sides, the garlic mashed potatoes were fresh and buttery with a garlic flavor that was noticeable, but not overpowering. The creamed spinach, however, while creamy and smooth was under-seasoned and, much like the Caesar salad, was virtually flavorless, as a result. The chocolate sin cake was a pleasant conclusion to our dining experience, as it was densely chocolaty with a 'coffee' undertone. The raspberry sauce was especially sweet, but paired well with the boldness of the chocolate, and the texture was effortlessly creamy with a 'melt-in-your-mouth' feel that christened each bite just as, if not more delicious than the one prior. While I do feel as though some of the menu items were a bit overpriced for the quality, regarding the experience as a whole, I would definitely recommend Ruth's Chris Steak House - my first visit will most likely be far from my last. read more

I have been to Ruth Chris numerous times & it just keeps getting better. We ordered fried oysters appetizer & had steak, lobster, crab cakes as main entree with 2 ala carte sides -asparagus & potatoes au gratin. Everything was perfect. I was a little skeptical about spending the extra money to add the lobster tail but it was well worth it, best I've ever had. Service was also exceptional!! When arriving to our table the hostess realized they put happy anniversary confetti on our table instead of happy birthday (we thought nothing of it) but she came back and switched the confetti for the appropriate occasion. Our server was great also he gave us great recommendations & was not pushy when we declined dessert, but for the occasion he did give us complimentary cake and icecream. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to have a 5 star dining experience. Also note: there is a dress code (business casual) and they do offer complimentary valet. read more

I'm picky about my food but more so when it comes to good meat. I am a lover of red meat but it has to be done right. My husband has taken me to a few very expensive places, only for the food and service to be inadequate.

The decor is very nice and conducive to conversation or romance. Candles on every table. We were pleasantly surprised to see Happy Birthday glitter on our table when we arrived.

The complementary birthday cheesecake was another surprise, appreciated by my wife. There is ample parking, but there were no spots open close to the restaurant. They also have outdoor seating. read more
