“Shane, can you keep Saturday night open? I’m doing another Epinions Dine-off at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Portland.”

Realization dawns . . . “Is this...

Pros: Good service

I have a rule and I broke it. My rule is to never get my hopes up that a chain restaurant of any kind will be as good as or better than non-chain restaurants. I let the hype about Ruth's Chris Steak House get to me. I started to think this one might be...

Pros: Excellent flavor, enthusiastic waitstaff, unpretentious
Cons: High prices, spotty service, somewhat inconsistent food quality

I’ve seen a few people knock Ruth’s Chris Steak House because they feel it is expensive…. We’ll it ain’t no McDonalds. You’re going there to eat, but rather to experience the “Cream de la Cream” of Prime steaks. I’ve been going to Ruth’s Chris...

Pros: Great Food & Service
Cons: Expensive

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse has got to be one of the best steakhouse I've ever eaten at. Although it can be pricey, the portions are large. The side dishes can easily feed two people as well as the desserts.

The side salads, appetizers,...

Cons: Long waits if you don't have reservations

When I was growing up in New Orleans, I happened to have a classmate named Randy Fertel. We went all through school together. I was vaguely aware that his mother had something to do with the restaurant business, but little did I know that the Mrs. Fertel...

Pros: Excellent staff; Exceptional steaks; Varied, plentiful sides
Cons: Crowds on Fri/Sat nights; Expensive

Cons: Can't eat there often.

I used to think that "Mortons" was the end-all, be-all when it came to fine steakhouses. Well I was wrong. For months I've been listening to talk radio/TV icon Sean Hannity hawk Ruth's Chris, and when one opened up 15 minutes from my home I just had to ...

Cons: A bit pricey; $175 dinner for 2. Dress code not enforced in Atlantic City.

My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary this past weekend and to celebrate, we made dinner plans and bought tickets to a show in Atlantic City, NJ. We only live about 50 miles from Atlantic City, so this is an easy drive for us. I made dinner ...

Cons: A bit pricey and not for the faint hearted eater!

Cons: Not For Vegetarians

The best laid plans of mice and men seem to only work well for rodents or, well, men. When I received tanster’s email inviting a small group of Epinionators to participate in a write-off, I felt honored. When I read the subject of these tandem reviews...

Pros: Great steak, great atmosphere, great deserts, yummy!
Cons: For some people, the cost

Ok, let me get this off my chest right now. I've read a few previous reviews of this restaurant, and I saw one where a vegetarian rated this 1 star.. Why on god's green earth would a vegetarian go to a steakhouse? I'm allergic to shellfish, and you ...

Pros: Mouth-watering steaks, incredible portions, good selection of sides. Wonderful desserts!
Cons: Expensive ala carte menu. As with any chain, service can vary - greatly.

Steaks. Who doesn't love slicing into a juicy piece of mid-western beef, bubbling with flavors and aromas to excite the senses?

I certainly do. Yet in today's low-cal, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet-crazed society, most people avoid steak...
