They encouraged us to sample anything we wanted and never made us feel rushed or pressured to buy. The shop is located in the middle of a strip shopping center, but once you step inside it has a charming, old-country feel that adds to the experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the prices are very reasonable. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping in. Great customer service, a unique atmosphere, and quality products made this one of the highlights of our visit.

I think this is a good local ice cream place. My blue monster ice cream hit the spot for me, and…read morethe vibe of chill as well. However, I do think that the ice cream sizes should be bigger as I feel I didn't get a big portion of ice cream for 1 scoop. Still a good spot for ice cream though.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with service while we were getting our ice cream. It seemed as of the girl at the register was overwhelmed, and her service wasn't as positive as we'd hoped. I will say that this place could use some tidying up with the ice cream drippings that have come from scooping our ice cream. It just seemed as if there wasn't a whole lot of attention to detail when it came to cleanliness however, it did deliver on the nostalgia of an old school ice cream shop. The silver lining was truly that the ice cream was delicious and the river behind the shop was adorable; however, I think there is lots of room for improvement that the team can make in order to improve.

My family and I visited on July 9, 2026. The service was good, and everyone we interacted with was…read morevery friendly. Unfortunately, both my wife and I became very ill after eating here. We ate lunch around 2:00 p.m. I ordered the Grilled Reuben, and my wife ordered the fried bologna sandwich. Less than an hour after our meal, I developed severe diarrhea, and every time I tried to eat afterward, it became worse. My symptoms lasted for several hours, continuing until about 1:00 a.m. My wife also became sick shortly after me, though her illness wasn't quite as severe as mine. The only other meal we had that day was breakfast at around 7:30 a.m. at a different restaurant in another state, several hours before lunch. While I can't say with absolute certainty what caused our illness, the timing of our symptoms makes us strongly suspect it was related to the food we ate here. Because of this experience, we won't be bringing our family back.

First up, Kyle is an amazing server. We really enjoyed his personality. Cheers to Kyle!…read more Secondly, this was our second time eating here at Ruth's in the casino. The reason I didn't write a review after the first visit was because I needed to give them a second chance. The first visit was not good. All I will say about it is thank goodness they removed the lobster bisque from the menu. And word of advice about most restaurants, you don't want to be one of the last tables before closing. No one wants to be there! Ok, back to January 2026! We had 8:15 reservations. We stopped by to see if we could be seated earlier and they said they had nothing available. Ummmmm, there was like 20-30 tables open! They just didn't have the servers. So we waited and got Kyle, who again was awesome. Because of something wrong with my throat, I could only order soft food. So I ordered the Veal Osso Buco Ravioli and Au Gratin potatoes. The ravioli was a table win for all of us! Best bite of the night. The potatoes were not a winner. Au gratin potatoes are supposed to be in a flavorful cheesy cream sauce. We got a bowl of diced white potatoes with melted cheese on top. No seasoning. No sauce. I was looking for soft food, not flavorless! It was not a good look for a steak house. Speaking of steak, JD did enjoy his steak both visits, so they've got that very important part going for them. The restaurant is huge. I saw a sign out front that its capacity is 600+. But with their staffing issues, at least they realize not to seat a full restaurant. They even had signs up that To-Go orders were not allowed the Friday night we were there. Would I eat here again, yes. Is it a must have when at the casino? Not for me.

Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long.
