Whoa there!

This place is seroiusly pricey! Something like $12 for a side of fries, I kid you not. They give you 15lb of fried mind you, but is that really necessary? Must be an American chain to serve that much.

Expensive

I couldn't believe this place. Perhaps if you've just won the lottery you'll come here for a steak that's really nothing special. It's just so expensive! Not worth it unless your business is paying for you to go out.

Unique, sure, but not worth it

This place has to be the most over-priced restaurant I've ever been to. Something like $40 for a strip loin, but it's not worth it. They advertise the unique cooking style, searing the meat with really high heat and using butter. Well you just get a steak like any other (we all thought) that has butter all over it, that cost way too much. Weird menu system for ordering meals and sides, and the side dishes are WAY over-sized that you'll MAYBE finish one if you share it with someone else. I was really disappointed in this place.

Best Steak in Calgary

My Associate and I were at Ruth's Chris for lunch today. I was pleasently surprised. The steak was the best I have had in a while. I had the alberta Tenderloin cut and it melted in my mouth. I had heard that they were the most expensive in town, but for $27 my associate got a salad, a large stuffed chicken breast and 2 side dishes. The staff were experienced and prompt. I think I found a new lunch time favorite.

Good, not Great.
November 14, 2011

For the price, the food should have been great, but I found the steaks and veggies very plain. Nothing wrong with the quality of the food, just plain. I can't believe they had the gall to charge me $16 for water without advising me that there would be a charge. The waiter just came to the table and asked if we preferred Still water or Sparkling. My bar bill was less than the water bill. We... more

Luscious steaks
November 13, 2011

In a city full of steakhouses, Ruth's offers a unique steak because it is actually IMPORTED USDA prime beef. I know, it may seem like heresy, but you've got to try these steaks...resting in brown butter, simply seasoned, just delicious. And the sauteed mushrooms are whole caps. How fun! And for quirky, try the sweet potato casserole as dessert. A la mode!!!

Fantastic Dining Experiences
November 03, 2011

This is one of the best steakhouses I've ever eatin at. For the past 15 years I've been eating at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse from Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary to Cancun and I've always had fantastic service, amazingly tasty foods and a very pleasant dining experience.Now only if they'd come to Vancouver. Ever since Mortons Steak House closed, this city is lacking a 'great' steakhouse of this magnitude.

Truly an amazing Experience
October 25, 2011

I have been to Ruth's Chris a few times, for a special occassion. I am a fan of a good steak, and Ruth's is unlike anything I've experienced in Calgary. The service is fantastic. They are very attentive, and skilled. The food is amazing. Steaks always melt in your mouth. The side dishes are wonderful. Creamed spinach is some of the best I've ever had. The desserts are made carefully and are so... more

My boyfriend and I recently dined at Ruth's Chris, both of us big steak lovers. We were seated in a nice two seater booth in the dining room. Our waiter was really friendly, he walked us through Ruth's Chris' unique menu and explained how our steaks were to be prepared. My boyfriend opted for the Alberta beef, which is exclusive to the Calgary and Edmonton restaurants, and I for the USDA filet.... more

I love the recent posts from people who are obviously associated with the restaurant. They only have one review in their history and it's a glowing one of this particular steak house.Most restaurants DON'T charge $8 for water so don't try telling me that's normal please.I will not step foot in this establishment for a few reasons. It's an American chain in a city landmark which is offensive. It... more

Average meat and potatoes for an astronomical price. A better idea is buying higher quality meat and preparing it the way you like it, and still paying a fraction of the cost. Not organic, or anything that even comes close. Unoriginal menu. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great meal for $20 more than the keg
August 29, 2011

I usually really like The Keg. We went here when staying at The Fairmont. Bill was not cheap and charging $8.00 for a bottle of water ($16.00 as I drink sparkling and the wife drinks regular) is a little sneaky without being told. However the portions are huge so we had The Grill Mix (4oz Steak, Chicken, and Shrimp Skewers) asparagus and mashed potatoes. Also had 3 glasses of Pinot Noir (dont... more

Good experience...but
August 24, 2011

I wanted to say I like the place, because I took a good friend, and the experience was good. The steak tasted great (I opted for the Alberta beef-not the USDA). However, 8.00 for a bit of mushrooms, 8.00 for spinach, 8.00 for potato, 8.00 for a bottle of water. 170.00 tab for two at the end of the night. If I do go back, it won't be very often at that price.

Absolutely not worth the price tag
July 21, 2011

Totally pretentious and stuffy with lacking food to boot. Their steak isn't seared over a fire grill, or even contact seared at all. It's just slathered in butter and thrown under a broiler. This translates into a $55 mid-rare ribeye which is well done through the top and bottom third of the steak, while staying raw in the center. The steaks are served with no sides, and presented on a dated... more

First of all USDA beef? In Alberta? What a slap in the face to all the local farmers. We have hands down the best steak in North America, why the hell are we supporting this USDA imported beef? Secondly the presentation for the steak was terrible, it was on a white super heated plate, burnt bits of steak bits/butter, 55 bux for no garnishes no sides, just a giant piece of meat on a plate.

good steak if you don't think about how bad the butter is for you...
December 05, 2009

Each time we've gone to Ruth's Chris, we've left content. We always order the Porterhouse for two and two half side dishes and we are beyond FULL. The tenderloin side is incredible -- melts in your mouth. The striploin side obviously a little tougher but still good. A full order of the sides is usually too big for the two of us so we do half orders. Service is always good and the experience is... more

I had heard that Ruth's was expensive. A large chunk of meat and all else a la carte. Not quite true. Yes, it isn't cheap but for a special occasion, this is definitely the place to go. Warm, genuine staff. The best steak I have eaten in a long time. Beef is Canadian or USDA imported and cooked to perfection. Appetizers and side dishes are are unique and delicious. Dessert is enormous and to... more

Mediocre quality, rather high price
October 08, 2009

Ruth Chris's does not have a good price/quality ratio. At all. The decor is nice - boring but very acceptable, and the wait staff was excellent. We had a small group lunch and the waiter gave the standard speech about the history of the steakhouse, and proceeded to explain how they only use corn-fed midwestern beef. HELLO? We are the land of excellent grass fed beef here. Cows don't eat corn.... more
