Lighting too dark, odd layout (we sat in the balcony area), slow service (yes we had reservations), my teeth were not sharp enough to chew through the beef. Got a nice letter from corporate HQ and played telephone tag with the local manager and I finally gave up. We will not make the mistake of going there again.

Pros: Free Valet Parking

Cons: The food quality and price

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My husband and I recently dined at the Ruth's Chris in Cary, and I tell you what, I have never had an experience like this in a resteraunt. The steak absolutely melted in my mouth. Cooked to perfection to say the least! The service was phenomenal! Our server 's name was Matt. I had never dined at a Ruth's Chris prior to this occasion. Matt made us feel so comfortable, and on top of that, had an irresistable sense of humor. His continuous smile let me know that we were in great hands. I highly recommend Ruth's Chris to anyone who wants to enjoy a special evening, where food and service are incomparable to any other resteraunt in the triangle!

Pros: best service ever! best steak ever!

Cons: n/a

We were invited to a seminar at this restaurant after never having tried it on our own due to the prices. I will admit it was the very best steak I have ever had and it didn't stop there. Their homemade cheese cake was to die for and the coffee was an outstanding compliment to it. While this will be a place I can only return for a very special occasion, I would highly recommend it.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Pricey

The steaks were excellently prepared,but the service felt rushed and too snobish,I feel that these prices are rediculous,they should lower their prices to service the majority of hard working americans and not just for elitist in NC.

My inlaws fiftieth wedding anniversary was this weekend. We decided to tale them and several family members to Ruth' Chris. Michele and Christy along with two young men took very good care of us. They were terrific! We were seated in an area that was draped off to provide our group an intimate and secluded feeling in the busy restaurant.The food was absolutely fantastic and exactly what we expected. Several in our group had never been so Christy explained the way the menu worked. My wife had the Tuna and let me tell you, I don't know what the other reviewer received but her's was flavorful and cooked exactly as she had asked. Expensive, yes but we got exactly what we paid for and then some. Thanks Ruth's Chris and your staff members for making this a memorable occasion.

Pros: Service was fantastic

Cons: none

My fiance and I recently ate at Ruth Chris in Cary and were greatly disappointed. First, our salads were very boring -- salads we had recently at Bonefish Grill were much, much better and considerably less expensive. Next, our filets were overcooked -- we had ordered them medium well but there were no pink centers. In addition, they were extremely salty. I would have thought that an expensive restaurant that specialized in steaks would know how to cook one. Finally, our sides, while certainly large, consisted of watery mash potatoes and spinach. I did take the time to write to the Ruth Chris management from their website to let them know of our experience. COO David Sadeghi wrote back to apologize but did not even include a free dessert coupon or anything to entice us back to Ruth Chris to try again. Our dinner was about $120. I would suggest that your money would be far, far better spent at our favorite restaurant in the area, P.F. Changs. Ruth Chris is not a great value.

Pros: Very attentive service

Cons: Poor value, food not well prepared

I've been to Ruth's Christ before, but never have I had such a wonderful experience! My server was new, I think his name was Steve, and I was delighted with the perfect wine parring he chose for us! I will defiantly be requesting him again!

Pros: extensive wine list

came here with a date who said the food was good. Seated promptly. Server was knowledgeable about menu and very friendly.I have been trying to eat healthy so I ordered the tuna. Big mistake. Tuna was dry with no flavor or sauce served with it. My date had steak and gave me a bite,which was very good-which I would have ordered it. Sides were not included. We ordered tomatoes and sweet potato pie as sides which were good. I can not believe that this place is so pricey and you get NOTHING with your course except a basket of bread. I did not ask what the bill was, but I know it was over a 100 bucks-and I was barely full. Meal we had the week before next door at Bonefish had flavor, a lot less pricey and I had leftovers.

Pros: great service,our sides,wine,date's steak was delish

Cons: wayyy overpriced,my tuna was dry with no flavor

I have eaten at a number of Ruhts Chris resturants and the food/menu is nearly identical. We always get the Filet (sometimes we share the large one). Order the Bernaise sause for your steak. We love the broiled tomatoes, spinach, among other sides. The lettuce wedge and lobster bisque are great too. The service is alwasys great and I have never felt "looked down" on by the staff becase we sometimes share the steak or salad. Of course the steak comes out piping hot and is so tender - where do they get their meat? While I would not call it a "kids" resturant, my teenagers love the food as well. It is their first choice for celebrating good grades or Mom's birthday. It's great for jost me and the wife too. Though everything is ala carte, the sides are meant to share. If you are not a "drinker" my wife and I have gotten out of their for less than $60 by sharing the large filet (which they split in the kitchen). Service is good and not slow.

Pros: Best Steaks, Creamed Spinach, Great Service

Cons: It is not inexpensive

I'll keep it short: WOW The best steak anywhere. The service was excellent, though a bit slow. They are very expensive, but so is the experience.

Pros: the menu

Cons: slow service

Insider Tips

Look Good

It's not on the menu, but consider ordering your steak "Oscar style," which means it's topped with asparagus, crab cakes and bearnaise sauce.
