My daughter took me there for Mother's Day. The food was delicious. We enjoyed how they made sure we were taking care of from the time they sat us at our table. I loved how they pampered me as a mom by surprising me with a personal Mother's Day card waiting at the table. Our area of the dinning room was quiet and filled with families celebrating mothers. The feel of the room was elegant, which gave a sense of warmth. Our waiter made sure we enjoyed every dish. At the end when we was ready to leave, he made sure that I got to eat my delicious cheesecake that was apart of my meal. Ruth Chris did not disappointed me or any other moms that celebrated at theon our special day. read more

The good- the steaks were prepared perfectly. Seasoned well and good sized portions for sides and appetizers. The not so good- the staff. From the front of house to the waiters it felt like nobody was invested in their job. Insincere replies to questions. For what is supposed to be a high end steakhouse the waitstaff seemed disinterested and apathetic. Was almost poured an open half bottle of wine that we ordered. With a table of 6 and a bill of close to $600 you would think more attention would be paid to the service and making it feel like a high end experience. Last note- they tell you the plates your steak is served on is 500 degrees and to be very careful to not touch it but they cram the tables so close together that the waiters are saying "corner" every time they pass by with those plates. Amazing that there are not more burn victims. read more

Hungry Vegetarian Here I came here for a group outing and found: Lots of drinks and food options Place is known for steaks and vegetarians take note Unlike other steak houses I have been, the chef was not able to accomodate a special dish for a vegetarian so I can to craft a meal from sides and salads I saw someone have a drink that was smoked and smelled very good Service was decent and overworked as it was a busy night Place is very spacious and I saw it had space for private dinners read more

I ordered my usual. Food was amazing but i can tell the Brussels sprouts were rushed. However, I do love the sweet potato casserole ! Also service can be better. When i called to place an order i was told orders cannot be taken over the phone and in person only. What's the point of that? Also when i picked up my order the girl with the ombré/blonde hair was rude. She was on instagram the whole time and appeared to have an attitude. Over $100 for takeout... it would be nice to get better service read more

I love Ruth Christ ! And this was my first time at this location. It's conveniently located near one of the mall's parking decks and mall entrance. They had plenty of reservation time online and it was also as easy to modify the reservation. We got the stuffed chicken ( delicious ) my favorite side the sweet potato pecan casserole and mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The birthday dessert was good but not my favorite. All in all a great chain restaurant to celebrate special occasions. read more

On today's episode of eating my way through New Jersey, we stopped at Ruth's Chris Steak House in the Short Hills Mall for happy hour. For the record, I don't eat a lot of steak -- that's not why I come here. I come here for the Ruth's Chris Chopped Salad. Before you turn your nose up, hear me out: this salad is special. It's loaded with eggs, bacon, olives, chilled hearts of palm, and more. It's got everything you'd want in a salad. If you try it and don't like it, oh well -- I do. I usually round things out with the Spicy Shrimp from the happy hour menu and finish with a White Russian, an alcoholic cocktail that pairs well with the meal. The vibe: great atmosphere, attentive wait staff, and a cool, relaxed energy. Rating: If you know, you know. The salad alone makes it worth the trip. I eat, I judge. The fork stops with me read more

Pretty decent place , went here for a conference . I thought the appetizers were very good, we had the goat cheese and eggplant as well as mashed potatoes . For entree I had a rib eye which was mediocre but the desert ( chocolate sin cake ) was amazing . The service was a bit slow and I had to keep reminding the guy to bring me cappuccino and some hot tea but overall they were nice read more

I am severely disappointed by the service and atmosphere in this location. I had high expectations - attached to Short Hills Mall, kniwn for luxury. We came in for an early sunday dinner around 3:30 pm. Even though it was Father's Day, it wasn't busy yet. We sat at the bar. I went into the bathroom before sitting down. A worker was leaving as I entered. It was in complete disarray. Water and paper towels everywhere. One (out of 3) of the stalls was a disgusting mess. Once we were seated for about 5 minutes, a man asked my husband if he wanted a drink. Took his order and left without asking for mine. When a different man came back with my husband's drink, I was asked "want a drink?". No "hi, how are ya" - no personality or friendliness at all. I asked if they had mocktails. He said he could make me a Shirley temple - that was it. I got a plain seltzer. The same man returned and asked "want to order food?". The menu is nothing to write home about. There are very few options and none sound especially appetizing at their price point. $29 for 2 small crab cakes and a tablespoon of diced peppers thrown between them. $70 for a steak thrown on an appetizer sized plate, but my husband said it was cooked well. The mashed potatoes were pretty good. We had to ask for another round of drinks even though it was not busy and there were multiple people behind the bar. I will never step foot into another Ruth's Chris again. I've received better service at a Chilli's. At this price point, there are certain expectations that have to be met. This location failed every step of the way. read more

Better this time - I think the restaurant was settling down with staff. The crab cakes were solid, the calamari was good with the Thai chili flavor. The shrimp cocktails were large and cold, and the ahi tuna seared was ok. The cowboy ribeye this time was cooked much better, and the garlic butter recommendation from the server was on-point! Mac & cheese was better w/out the lobster, and the creamed spinach was ok. Au gratin potatoes would've been better scalloped, the cubes ended up being tasteless in the middle. Dessert - great creme brulee, and not too expensive, surprisingly. Overall better experience this time around. read more

First, the bartender didn't know the difference between Bombay Sapphire and Bombay Dry Gin. Saw the pour and had to have our drinks redone. Second, the service at the table was not just slow but inattentive . And third, the steak and sides were just okay. No reason to return. read more

Once upon a time, I'm sure Ruth's Chris was the place to go but I think it's time it updated a bit. I came here for a birthday dinner for my mother in law because she loves steak. We got a bit of everything, including the steak. Overall, I think the menu is a bit outdated as is the decor. The food was ok. As with all chains, we all know what to expect in terms of food quality. The steak was ok. The soup was good, the crab cakes were a bit disappointing. I will say the service was decent. The waitstaff was friendly and did a nice job. But overall, it's way too expensive for not so great good. read more

My partner and I come here semi-frequently. What I will say is that every single time we have requested a booth, we haven't gotten one, even when the dining room is less than half full. We went on New Year's Eve (last night) and once again we were not offered a booth, which was incredibly puzzling because at 4:45 we were ushered through a predominantly empty main dining room, past at least 8 open booths and half booths that I scanned, into the back party room, and sat next to a table with two screaming kids who were running up and down the length of the room. My inherent issue isn't with the family at this table obviously, but with the immensely odd choice to put couples in the same back corner with the kids you obviously wanted to stuff away from the main dining room (especially when there were plenty of booths available as this was a very early seating). It doesn't matter if you call ahead of time and confirm booth availability, you apparently can't get one without pulling teeth. We would have been happy to wait, and mentioned the same in person, even though as I said, we confirmed a booth on the phone prior to arriving. The food is always good, however the osso bucco ravioli arrived room temperature, if not a little cool, and even though my partner and I both ordered medium rare filets, mine was slightly overcooked. I know there is a location in Paramus as well. Will more than likely be going there next time. read more

This is consistently a fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is, in a word, pure steakhouse--classic, comfortable, and inviting. What's not to like about that? Food, Drinks, and Service The food here is always top-notch. The steaks are high-quality cuts cooked to your liking, and the sides and drinks are excellent as well. The friendly staff ensures a smooth and pleasant visit, making it a truly great experience overall. Pricing and Essential Tips Be prepared to spend over $100 when dining for two, but be equally prepared for the quality of the steak and the fantastic accompaniments that justify the price. To ensure you get a seat at your preferred time, make sure to book a reservation. A Crucial Tip on Steaks: To get the most flavor and juiciness from these high-quality cuts, I personally recommend ordering your steak Medium or at the very least, Medium-Well. If you prefer your steak well-done, I'd suggest opting for a different chain; cooking it to that temperature here may result in a less juicy or flavorful piece of meat, but hey it's your money and I'm sure they have no issue cooking it well. read more

I'm familiar with the RC brand and today I had the pleasure of dining in the Short Hills location. Our server was Emilio and he was amazing. We were his first table on his first day in that capacity. We learned that he worked behind the scenes before. His glowing personality and smile made all the difference. He was very attentive to our needs and made sure everything was to our liking. As usual, the food was good. The portions have gotten smaller in the Chef's Special although the price has gone up :/ If you get the chance, ask for Emilio and you will enjoy your visit as well. read more

5 stars for the waitstaff: Hanora and Natalie! I recently hosted a business dinner here and after having hosted a number of them over the years... this, by far, was the most seamless process from beginning to end! I arrived about an hour and a half early because I wanted to ensure that the A/V was on point, since the speaker would be virtual. I received help right when I needed it, as I'm a bit technologically UNsavvy... The private room is perfect for this kind of need. The TV was very centered, no issues with volume, and every table allowed for a unobstructed view. Service was friendly and timely. Very well oiled machine... Food was good as usual. I tried the stuffed chicken, which was juicy and flavorful... mashed potatoes and creamed spinach went perfectly together. And the salad was fresh and delicious. If I ever need another venue for my business dinners, I will try to return to this exact location. read more

The establishment was great, intimate and the food was DELICIOUS! Ugh! The sweet potato casserole!!!! LAWD! The service was great as well.

went in here yesterday, August 17 Sunday I always find this place way overpriced for what they serve, but my friend likes it so hey, sat down at the table and I noticed it was getting hotter and hotter. I was actually sweating after ordering drinks our entrées, I asked the waitress and she said the air conditioning was broken. The nerve of these people to prices for the subpar steak place on a hot hell of a humid Sunday and not have a sign or tell people that their air conditioner was broken was unheard of I for will never be back here. Texas steakhouse 200% better price wise and taste wise. read more

We will definitely be back. read more

The service was great! Our waitress was very nice and helpful. The steak was good as usual lol we had mushrooms and creamed spinach as a side and they were good. They accidentally gave us mashed potatoes and let us keep them so I took them home didn't get a chance to try them. I ordered the prix fixed menu the steak and shrimp and creamed spinach. The waitress forgot that it came with a dessert until I asked for it right before leaving and she was able to box it for me to go. The ambience was cute and upscale like all of their restaurants. We did ask to sit in a booth there was one empty and the girl said it would take too much to set up the table? It was already set up. We thought that was odd and where they sat us was right in the walk way of the kitchen-so that was the only thing that was weird ... since the place was empty but other than that it was great! read more

You will be surprised by its new management. We have a party of 14 including three toddlers. We have advance reservation. They won't let us seated until the last person arrive. The receptionist even counted us until she seated us. It is very awkward. Food is still great. Hope the service can keep up. This has been our favorite restaurant for family celebration. read more

Relatively new Ruth Chris location at short hills mall is a great addition to the chain. NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE MALL...IT'S EXTERIOR ENTRANCE ONLY! We usually stop by for happy hour sizzle and swizzle! Great drink specials and delicious food at an affordable price. Full sized appetizer portions...the ahi tuna, and spicy shrimp are my favorites. Also, can grab a cheeseburger or steak sandwich with fries. For those craving steak, they serve a petite filet with either shrimp and cabernet or blue cheese and rose! Service is attentive. Beautiful interior, although a little dark in the bar area! We love it here! read more

Recently I had the opportunity to experience the food, service and ambiance of Ruth's Chris. We celebrated my husbands 30th bday and it was delicious! We started off ordering the spicy shrimp and calamari. We liked it so much we ordered another round. We also ordered the veal ravioli and that was a big hit. Side note: I'm still thinking about the spicy shrimp 5 days later!! For dinner we had 2 orders of the tomahawk steak, lamb, king salmon and shrimp, ribeye and NY strip. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes. The presentation was top notch! The sides were very tasty as well. We shared Brussels sports, mashed potatoes, asparagus and the lobster Mac and cheese. Highly recommend the lobster Mac and cheese! Cannot wait to come back. Special thank you to our waiter Jon who took care of us! read more

I took my mom here for Mothers Day. Overall everything was good. They had a very small Mother's Day brunch menu which I got one of the items. It was steak on top of a biscuit with creamed spinach and a poached egg with a chipotle sauce on top. It was really pretty good. The only thing was the steak was definitely under cooked. I asked for medium well and it was more like medium rare. I ate most of it anyway. The manager came over and I told him but I was almost done. He asked to remake it and I said no since I was almost finished and didn't want another one. I guess I expected at this price point he would have offered something else. Maybe even a free dessert would have been appropriate. But maybe I expect too much. Lunch was $140 so I don't know maybe that's not a lot to some. The asparagus was over cooked and stringy. My mom's salmon and shrimp was good. I loved the butter sauce that came with it. I think id only come back here if someone else wanted to go. It wouldn't be my pick read more

Wow!! Last time I ate at a Ruth Chris's was probably about 10 yrs ago and it wasn't up to par. My friend asked me to meet him for dinner at The Short Hills Mall location because it just open a few months ago. We started with the happy hour drink We then moved onto appetizers. He ordered the shrimp cocktail which had 4 nice sized shrimp. He said it was very good. I ordered the beef carpaccio.... Outstanding!! Just the right amount of citrus, the beef melted in your mouth. Then we pigged out on .... Crab cakes!! Phenomenal!! Flavor explosion. Packed with crab meat. Lamb chops were excellent. Very flavorful and again nice sized chops. Lobster Mac and cheese !! Loaded with lobster Awesome!! Sweet potato soufflé was delicious. Doggie bags for both of us!! Excellent service, outstanding food!! read more

I have been to Ruth's several times in my life long before Yelp. Most recently was in the days before COVID in Weehawken. Going there I wondered what the attraction was about. The place felt tired to say the least and there was zero desire to go back. Well, in the evening at the Short Hills mall it was dinner time and the zero effort choices were really between Legal Seafood and Ruth's. Not having meat in quite a while and seeing only 10 reviews for Ruth's (thinking it must be new) tilted the choice there, and I couldn't have been happier. This was the exact opposite of the experience I had in Weehawken. Yes, the place was new. It had only opened two months ago, but beyond that, everything about it was awesome. It seems reservations are highly recommended, but there were "as available" tables in the barroom that worked perfectly. The service was great. The Caesar salad to start was one of the better preparations I have had in a long time. Ordering a tomahawk for two worked out perfectly. It was done to perfection and was cut table side for a nice add to the experience as well. To make it even better, the dinner dishes came out hot with butter on them, which is something I do not believe I have seen before in a steakhouse. Yes, this, surprisingly, was a meal to remember. Even the side of Potatoes au Gratin was better than the usual of thinly sliced layers being, in this case, cubed potatoes. read more

I've been to this location lots of times. I enjoy going to Ruth Chris. The one problem I've had with this location is every time I have ordered the bone in filet mignon and ask for it well done it's always came back cooked medium. I refuse to order it again here. The last time I ordered the Chilean sea bass here I had to send that back because it didn't taste fresh. My favorite things to order here is the Caesar salad, the 8 ounce filet mignon, lobster Mac and cheese, and the best side dish ever is the sweet potato casserole! For dessert I love the cheesecake! The chocolate cake here is too dry, and mediocre. The bread pudding isn't good at all. One thing disappointing is Ruth Chris only offers 4 desserts and only the cheesecake is worth ordering. Many years ago they had a lava cake that was amazing wish they brought it back. Service is usually really good, but tonight it was awful. We had a waiter who I believe was named Rodney he spoke so low you can hardly hear him. He was no where to be found every time we needed him. He spent entirely too much time talking to another table and not being attentive. He was polite, but he was too slow and inattentive to be a waiter. Overall, I do like coming to this location, and recommend dining here. read more

This place was packed when we arrived. It was valentine's day so we had a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. The service was quick and friendly despite them being so busy. We ordered the blueberry mojito and a glass of red wine. I personally like my drinks sweet so I enjoyed the blueberry mojito. The wine was good as well and paired well with the steak. We ordered the seared ahi tuna to start, which was good - not the best I've had but good enough. It came with a small side of ginger and pickled cucumber which I enjoyed and added nicely to the dish. For our steaks, we got the petit filet and the ribeye. Mine came out medium rare when I ordered medium, and my partner's came out medium when he ordered it medium rare. We weren't too upset by this because we understood it was busy and this probably wouldn't have happened if it was a regular day. Despite this, the steaks still came out delicious. They were juicy, seasoned well, and still had that good steak flavor. We also got the garlic mash which I liked. Would recommend this place for a date or special occasion spot! read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - BONE-IN NEW YORK STRIP* and BAKED POTATO - Steakhouses Near Me - Short Hills, New Jersey

My friend and I met up to catch up as well as celebrate. We were the first ones to arrive. I've been to other Ruth's Chris locations and this one is the best. I really like the decor and cozy feeling. The waitstaff was warm and very pleasant. They were very attentive. We ordered our drinks first. The waitress brought warm bread and butter to the table. The bread was good. After that, we ordered an appetizer to share. We couldn't decide on what to have for our main course. The staff was very understanding and allowed a relatively good amount of time to decide. When we finally decided, our waitress took our order and explained that our filets is cooked to a certain temperature. Once we received our main course, we had to be careful as the plates were very hot. Nevertheless, the filet mignon was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The food I had at the other locations, don't compare. After the main course, we ordered desert. I ate the most amazing cheese cake. It was creamy and so delicious. The manager also stopped by our table to make sure we were satisfied with the service. Because of this experience, we've decided that this will be our place to go when we want to catch up. Ruth's Chris, thanks for making this event special. read more
