While in town we decided to celebrate my birthday here. We were greeted and asked if we had reservations. We did not, but they were okay with that. I'm guessing weekends you would want to have reservations, but it was a Tuesday night so we got right in. The hostess sat us and decorated the table to celebrate my birthday- that was so thoughtful and sweet. I like when restaurants are ready for these special events. They have cards that are signed by the staff to give to you also. Andrew was our waiter, very kind and relatable. We ordered 11oz. steak, au gratin potatoes, broccoli, and creamed spinach. The steak was spot on medium. The sides were amazing! I was not able to eat all my food, I expected the sides to be smaller, not a complaint just a little fyi for someone else. My husband had the creamed spinach and said it was really good. As a special bonus they send a Happy Birthday dessert to the table. The whole experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was light, the dining room was very clean, not a single complaint! Thank you for the wonderful dinner and the special hospitality for our celebration. read more

This is a franchise location!!! I can't believe I haven't done a review for this location yet. I go here often, and I have a great experience. I love that this locations offer a birthday deal whatever age you are turning is the percentage you get off your entree. Took my sister here for the first time for her birthday and she enjoyed the food. She had the stuffed chicken, which is my personal favorite. I had the filet mignon I had it medium well but it was well, I was kind of annoyed about that because when I order medium its so close to medium rare instead of medium and then medium well is well. I need that happy medium lol But overall great experience. The Caesar salad was good just too much Caesar dressing. The mashed potatoes are always creamy and delicious. The broccoli is okay no seasoning. Overall the staff is nice, the management is great. Any issues I had was corrected right away. The ambiance is beautiful. I will return!!! read more

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

This was my first time here, it was amazing. Our server was super professional and knew valuable information about the menu and service. I had the lobster macaroni as an appetizer 10/10, I did the three course meal deal for $65 for dinner which came with a starter ( salad or soup) I had a Caesar, an entree, and a dessert (cheesecake), I upgraded my steak entree for $11 to get an 8oz steak instead of 6oz 10/10. It came with garlic mashed potatoes which were delicious . I had the pomegranate martini for my drink which was 10/10 my friend had a margarita 5/10 it was very sour. I will return ! read more

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - 8 oz Petite Filet - Steakhouses Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

If you enjoy very good aged beef and a great steak, then Ruth Chris should be your destination. Yes, there maybe more economical options available, but with those you will likely not experience the quality and experience. The steaks here can almost be cut with a fork, tender, juicy and always cooked to perfection. This is one of our go to spots for special occasions. Great service in an upscale but not not pretentious ambiance. Staff is very friendly and attentive. We shared a wedge salad, portions are large so salads and sides can be shared which is nice for couples or group. The salad was fresh, crisp and flavorful. We each had an 8oz Prime Filet, medium rare. Steaks were amazing with great flavor and taste. We dined at the Bar ( our preference) and our servers Nat and Matt were really cordial and attentive. If your looking for a destination for a nice evening out, then I would recommend giving them a try. read more

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - 16 oz New York Strip*, Au Gratin, 8 oz Petite Filet*, Grilled Asparagus. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

My first trip ever to Ann Arbor and liked it a lot. I was honestly put off by this Ruth Chris location rating of 3 and half stars initially and hesitated booking. Glad I trusted the brand reputation and proceeded.Their rating is highly inaccurate/way off the current reality and so undeserved that I am rating it at 5 stars to balance off this unfortunate inaccuracy by a hard working dedicated passionate team who do upscale dining very well. It is no less than 4 stars and likely 4.3 to 4.5 stars without question. To those that get improper cooking temperatures and complain later.The time to take care of it with your server is in person so they and the kitchen can make it right. They seem to genuinely care here so by all means speak up.Yes I know it can be awkward to send things back and sometimes you simply can't if in a business meeting etc.I'm an ex new Yorker and I'm not ashamed or embarrassed if something is raw or overcooked to speak out But it happens to most diners eventually. They were on point for us thankfully so no need to return anything at all. Have dined in many of their locations form New York to Hawaii I can say it also in the top 10 in the nation compared to their other locations.I celebrated my younger family members birthday here and they saw to it personally it was going to be a special evening to remember.So many venues today don't care about guests or the occasion.They do here which is inspiring. Enter server Nick who I see has been reviewed positively by others here previously here on yelp.He took note of every detail/request and the kitchen got it mostly right 8 out of 10. Perfect crisp warmed sourdough,high quality nicely seared lamb chops and tender on point breast of chicken both classic long term dishes on the menu along side creamed spinach and a perfect baked potato. We received a complimentary dessert, a hand signed card and a special birthday incentive that is unique I am told to this location. They understand occasions and celebrations here and treat their guests as valued family relationships. Form their elegant dining room and passionate staff if you are Ruth Chris fan or never tried one I highly recommend this location even more so as there isn't a lot of great competition in this market yet they perform at a very high level or better as most major cities where such execution & experience as expected. Thanks to all of the team for their unexpected generosity and making our visit and occasion memorable We will return again without question and look forward to it happily! read more

A group of friends and I came here for my birthday. On our arrival, the table was decorated with little bits of confetti that said happy birthday. The service was awesome and our weight staff was very helpful. We started with the large seafood tower, which was amazing. The shrimp were giant and very flavorful. There was lobster, crab legs and I think I'm missing something but I can't remember now! Obviously, we had wine! Some people at my table get the lobster bisque, which I liked. I had a hint of Sherry, which is my preference in a lobster bisque. Some of the people at my table got the surf and turf. The birthday discount does not apply to the three course meal so I got a steak a La cart. I had a bone in ribeye that was amazing. Done perfectly. The creamed spinach was flavorful. The wine recommendation was spot on and they brought a birthday dessert! Just so you know that whatever your age is, that's the percent you get off your entrée. It applies not just on the day of your birthday, but I believe they said three days before and three days after. I should go back multiple times! Overall, an excellent birthday meal. There is a parking structure right next-door so it couldn't be more convenient. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, great service, melt in your mouth steak, delicious Caesar salad, and our server, Nichole, was outstanding. Made up for the nightmare of the construction mess and closed roads (we definitely earned the great food and closed all the exercise circles.) This is a wonderful way to treat yourself. read more

I have not been to Ruth Chris in years, but the quality of food is still the same. For a party of six, we started with the calamari and crabmeat stuffed mushrooms. Our main courses consisted of the sea bass, crab cakes, stuffed chicken and a filet with a side of brussel sprouts, garlic mashed potatoes and french fries. We finished our meal with cheesecake, creme brûlée, and the chocolate duo. All of our dishes were great except the chocolate duo. The molten cake was spongy and the pot de creme did not taste fresh. The restaurant was packed with a lively energy and we had a great time. Thank you Connor for taking care of us! read more

Great dinner and customer service at Ruth Chris in Ann Arbor MI. Special thanks to Deidra since she provided an excellent customer experience starting when we walked and until we left for the evening. Highly recommend this location and staff. read more

Conner was our waiter! He did a phenomenal job! My wife had the New York strip, and I had the fillet they were both outstanding we had sides, which were the au gratin potatoes, the sweet potato casserole and the brussels sprouts. Everything was tasty and perfect temperature and the meal was great timed everything came out exactly as we ordered. Drinks were just as good as the food. read more

We went here for my husbands birthday- one of the few restaurants that does it right! My lemon drop martini was excellent. Our server was amazing. We started with the goat cheese artichoke dip which comes with some toasted herb bread. I thought the starter was good, but if I had to give some feedback I would say to add even more goat cheese to it! Then I got the spring special which is a filet (I got the 11oz) and scallops over a bed of vegetables. The filet was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and had so much flavor!! Perfect size for me too. The scallops were also delicious! Seared perfectly. The only problem I had was that I think there was red bell pepper in the vegetable medley that the scallops were on.... and I'm not a fan of bell peppers. I don't think I saw it listed in the description. We were too full for dessert but they did give us a small bite of cheesecake for his birthday which was much appreciated! He also got to blow out the candle, but thankfully they don't sing Happy Birthday here They also have an excellent wine selection read more

It was the first time our son had seemed totally relaxed in weeks. We were back at R/C for the first time in seven years, as he had requested having dinner there for his birthday. We ordered drinks and looked at the menu. We ordered. Our son ordered his steak rare and the waiter repeated rare and specified "a cool, red center." Our son confirmed. I ordered mine medium rare. The waiter repeated medium rare and said "a warm, red center." I said yes. The soups and salad course was delivered by a runner. After the s&s was cleared, our waiter checked to see how everything was... He told us that our entrees would be out soon. The runner brought us our entrees and quickly departed. My steak had a warm, brown, hints of pink center, so I waited for someone to enter the dining room so that I could send it back. Nobody did. For twenty minutes. Perhaps everybody was working to serve the private party. I don't know. I don't care. If you can't serve the dining room because of a party, then close the restaurant for the evening because of the private event. Were it not for the butter on the plate, the steak would have been inedible. When someone did finally enter the dining room it was the manager. "How is everything?" I wanted to tell her to "Walk away." The next time we saw our waiter, he had our check in hand. Hadn't offered desserts. Just brought the check. What utter rubbish! There are so many other restaurants in the area, in walking distance that do better and deserve your business. Don't eat here! read more

Food and service were top notch. Andy our waiter was perfect - very attentive, knowledgeable and great personality. The only downfall was that restaurant is not in a great location - right by bus stop and parking garage - high auto traffic. Also, maybe because it's Ann Arbor, we must have been solicited for money 5 times waiting for place to open. Other than that, dining experience was great. read more

I get that I am biased because I do work here, but I just have to spread the word that this place is so good! Steaks are of very high quality, every appetizer is delicious, and all the waitstaff do an amazing job. A lot of people will be honest with you at places they work at and tell you not to go there or waste your time, but I'm not kidding when I say COME HERE, IT IS WORTH IT!!! The happy hour is an awesome deal, the burgers are amazing. I don't even like burgers and I love Ruth's Chris burgers. I bring my friends and family to my place of work ALL THE TIME because I'm just so proud to work for this amazing company that truly prioritizes quality. Enjoy that sizzle people!!! read more

We came here for a financial seminar. The parking was close and located next to the restaurant. On arrival we were greeted at the front counter by the staff. They were friendly and helpful. We were seated upstairs and received informative information. The meal was great. I had a filet that was prepared well. The chicken prepared with a stuffed cheese was also great. It also came with mashed potatoes and Broccoli. The meal was great and I will visit again soon. read more

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - a table setting with silverware - Steakhouses Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Our experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse this past weekend with our family was our first one, and we can say that it ended up being a lot better than what we expected. Most of the food we had--and it was a lot--was tasty, but there was nothing that stood out and knocked our socks off. Their "New Fashioned" drink is delicious and the couple bottles of red that we ordered for the table were perfect for the meal. We started with some apps, and the calamari was probably the best one because they came out super crispy with a nice chili sauce that didn't overwhelm the plate/make them soggy. The tomato-mozz salad was pretty sad-looking, and didn't taste much happier; the Caesar was a basic bae, but no complaints. The harvest salad was more interesting, but again, nothing that'll knock your socks off. The artichoke dip was also the typical Applebee's fare that you see anywhere. Mains were a hodgepodge in terms of execution. The gumbo one of us ordered had a nice depth of flavor, but it was *barely* hot, so that was a disappointment. The filets that folks ordered were tender and toothsome, but the strip was tough and gnarly. Most of the sides were great: steamed broccoli and corn were the only ones that we tried but there were probably half a dozen more on the table that everyone else seemed to enjoy. We were a large party and service seemed to be run like a tight ship, which we appreciated, and there weren't any lags in dishes, which was impressive considering how much we ended up ordering. We were generously treated to dinner, so that's probably why this review is softer than it might normally be. We're happy that we got to try a Ruth's since we would never go of our own accord. If this kind of place is your thing, you'll leave full and happy. read more

My wife had a lobster tail along side her steak and she loved it. It's an easy place to visit given the steaks, seafood, wine list and don't forget the chop salad. We are most always up at the bar where we find the service to be excellent. I appreciate this place always showing patience while we find the right wine for the night. read more

We have dined at Ruth's Chris Steakhouses at various locations many times. On this Occasion we rented the private room because we had a large family group. I have always regarded Ruth's Chris as one of the best and most consistent steak houses in the country. Not so much at this one. We did receive great service and the staff was very friendly. Out of 6 steak orders only one was cooked to the ordered temperature. 3 of us did ordered medium rare petite filets and were served to us from medium well to well done. Had I known that the petite filet was a very thin cut of filet I would not have ordered it. There is now way for them to run an improperly cut filet that size through an 1800 degree oven and get a medium rare finish. $1600.00 later, very disappointed. read more

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - King Salmon Filet and spinach - Steakhouses Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

A great steak experience for my dad's 70th birthday! Calamari appetizer and harvest salad were a great start to the meal. The sides were solid, our favorites being the lobster Mac and cheese and the asparagus. I got the bone-in NY strip steak which was very flavorful but if I come back I will definitely get the filet which is one of Ruth's specialties. They even had a fun birthday discount where the birthday person gets the % off their meal equal to their age! We also liked that it is not quite as dark inside as some steakhouses make it. read more

We chose Ruth's Chris for our anniversary dinner, and it turned out we chose well. The restaurant set aside a quiet table for us, and sprinkled it with some "Happy Anniversary!" sparkling confetti. (We also were treated to a complimentary cheesecake for dessert--see photo). A welcome like that was a pleasing sign, and nothing about the rest of the night disappointed us. Our server (who resembled a mid-career Martin Sheen) was very attentive, glad to answer questions, let us be when we needed to, always appeared just as our wine glasses emptied. I enjoyed just talking with him. My wife and I ordered the filet, mine full size, hers petite. They were excellent, tender and flavorful as you'd expect prime cuts to be. They did come a bit rarer than I would normally expect a medium or medium rare steak to be, though I don't consider this a problem. For sides, we chose the roasted brussels sprouts and sauteed cremini mushrooms. The sprouts were a little tough (a problem with that item at many restaurants), but the mushrooms were outstanding, earthy and buttery with just a hint of the garlic and herbs. One note about that "business casual" dress code (which is announced on the front door): it doesn't seem rigorously enforced. We saw diners in jeans and tank tops, and shorts and Hawaiian shirts. Maybe RC relaxes things a bit in summer, but I wouldn't rule out a visit here if you don't feel like dressing up. Not a cheap meal by any means, but we came away with no complaints. read more

This was our first visit to RCS on a Friday night. The week after Thanksgiving, we are sick of poultry, looking for a good steak at a restaurant we hadn't tried before. I made a 7:45pm reservation for Friday night, after Midnight Madness. The location isn't the greatest, across the street from the bus station, but parking is plentiful nearby. Beautiful dining room and bar. They have happy hour and I am looking forward to trying it sometime. The host took our coats and we were shown to our table. It was very comfortable, in the back corner of the restaurant - next to a 12 top where dad was ordering tequila shots for his 22 daughter's birthday dinner with her friends. It was very interesting. A bit annoying but entertaining. We were thankful that they left as we began our meal, but saddened at so much wasted food and drinks left behind. Just wow. What was remarkable was watching our waiter coordinate a team of assistants to serve this massive table, then return to us with out missing a beat. He was so professional and attentive - we could not have asked for better service. Back to our table - I ordered the ribeye with twin lobster tails, a glass of wine and the lobster bisque. It was all absolutely excellent. The steak was a perfect medium rare, the tails were not dry. Waiter brought out drawn butter. The sides were huge and very good. Scallops potatoes and corn. My husband loved his filet. We were about in a food coma with our heads on the table, when our waiter mentioned creme brulee to my husband. He couldn't pass it up. The coffee was my savior and a great suggestion while my husband enjoyed his treat. Along comes the check and in a wonderful surprise, the waiter comped our dessert for being patient having been put next to such a large party. He didn't understand why the host sat us where they did, but he was apologetic. I cannot say enough about our dinner experience. For the minor hiccup, there was a gracious apology. The food was excellent, and the service too. Very nice. read more

The Ruth Chris happy hour is very good. The drinks included have enough variety for a wide range of people to make a selection.

This is what door dash delivered to me from Ruth Chris.. i contacted door dash to ask them to butterfly thE chops and to please not burn them to give me a baked potato with sour cream and butter and add chives, I only have chives a salad without bacon or goat cheese I requested in the harvest which shows that the lack of them got the request but ignored the ranch request the preparation of the lamb and finally the potato comes with butter and sour cream, I didn't get anyand ranch i didnt get the bacon or the cheese but also not ranch I look at the chops its has ruined my desire to ever have a lamb chop again. I have ordered from them enough until I do realize that they knew me, so this proves they no longer want my business. Ruth Chris in Ann Arbor the city I love, has always been the worst in the country and I have visited quite a few of them. read more

I frequented the Troy location after a long day at the Somerset collection, and it was always the perfect ending to the day. I was skeptical about the A2 location, but we decided to try it out. It is now our favorite steakhouse! The proximity to the parking structure made our visits even easier. Everything from the decor to the service is outstanding. Start with the lemon drop martini, then the seafood platter as an appetizer. It is the freshest seafood ever. You can't go wrong with the filet, mashed potatoes and the Au gratin. For dessert, go with the bread pudding and the collection of spirited creme anglaises . The Chambord version is particularly indulgent. There couldn't be a more romantic date location. read more

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - T-bone ; lobster Mac; NY strip; potatoes; and fries. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We came here for a holiday dinner with a large group and the atmosphere was nicely decorated for Christmas. The service was attentive and they were very prompt in timing the courses and refilling the beverages. We ordered a seafood tower, stuffed mushrooms, ravioli, and a few other items passed around. For the main course many of us ordered the special that they have from Sun - Thurs that included a starter, the main course, side, and dessert. I ordered the petite filet with a lobster tail, it was good, but my filet was on the well done side when I ordered medium. The sides we ordered was the lobster Mac and Cheese, Brussels Sprouts, spinach, mash potatoes and cheesy scallop Potatoes. We had the cheese cake and ice cream, and it was probably the best part of the meal. I would definitely recommend this for a holiday or special occasion. read more

Ruth's Chris is probably the best steakhouse I've ever been to. While the price point is high the quality, service and experience matches it. We made a reservation for our anniversary and had to wait about 15 minutes before our table was ready. We had a nice drink at the bar while we waited. The drinks were expertly crafted and nice and strong. There is a dress code at this restaurant so keep that in mind. We were sat in a room upstairs that contained only a few tables so it wasn't super loud. Our waiter was very kind and helpful. We started with salads, I can't remember what mine was called but it had tomatoes, mozzarella and balsamic. It was just perfect. Very tasty and the size was generous. We each ordered steaks. I got the filet and my husband got the bone in filet. Sides are a la carte and large enough to share. We had asparagus, corn, broccoli and potatoes. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Our steaks were cooked exactly the way we asked and mine was possibly the best steak I've ever had. They gave us a free piece of cheesecake for our anniversary and put some cute confetti on our table. We also ordered the chocolate cake and creme brûlée which were such a nice finish to the meal. read more

Full disclosure: Our granddaughter works as a hostess at the restaurant. That aside, our dinner was superb. My wife had the filet and I went with the cowboy ribeye. Our excellent server, Amanda, recommended it as "the restaurant's most flavorful" steak and was she ever right. I can't recall the first (or last) time I've had a steak when I haven't added salt and/or pepper. But not this time. The first juicy bite told me that the seasoning was absolutely perfect. We began our experience with the spicy shrimp appetizer. In fact, it really wasn't "spicy;" more like delicately delicious. And not filling. So it set up the rest of the meal very nicely. Our shared Caesar salad was served on chilled plates. We both agreed that it's the best Caesar we've ever had. Anywhere. Amanda knew the menu inside out and answered our questions thoroughly. Her service was very friendly and professional, but not the least bit obsequious. She delivered a wry sense of humor along with our food. Obviously, you don't go to a first-rate steakhouse looking for a bargain. Ruth's Chris is undeniably expensive. Yet in most ways the food, the service and the overall warmth of the staff more than met our high expectations. So in that regard Ruth's Chris was an excellent value. Oh, for the record we didn't have any drinks. So we were stone cold sober in making the above assessments! read more
