This is my second and final review, as I will not be returning. I took my best friend out for her 40th birthday dinner. There were three of us, and our bill was about $1,200. We ordered three of their good wine, Caymus, Duckhorn & Silver Oak. We were the last guests in the restaurant after 10 p.m., enjoying a great evening. Henry, our waiter, was wonderful, and the food was great as usual. However, the experience was completely overshadowed when the manager, Michael, approached our table to "correct" our language. There were no other guests nearby, no complaints, and we were not being disruptive in any way--we were simply talking among ourselves and may have used a couple of mild curse words. Henry can attest to this. Michael's tone was rude and condescending, and the interaction felt unnecessary and out of line. I'm not sure if he felt the need to say that to us bc we are minorities? I really don't know but he was completely out of place. It's unfortunate that Michael's conduct was the reason this restaurant lost our business. I've email the Regional Manager about this. read more

I took my husband here for a "make-up" birthday dinner, just the 2 of us. We had originally planned to celebrate here on his actual birth date, but I surprised him with dinner somewhere else instead with a bigger party, which he wasn't too happy about, so this was my chance to make it right. He's private and not a fan of birthday fuss. When we arrived, we were about to be seated at a small table near the door. It just didn't feel right for the occasion, so I asked if a booth was available. At first, the host mentioned they were all reserved, but I spoke with Mike, the manager, and explained the situation. He was accommodating, and we lucked out when a booth opened up. Our booth was set with a birthday card and confetti, such a thoughtful touch. Brandon, our server, was great! We knew what we wanted and ordered right away, 2 ribeyes cooked with truffle, 1 with a lobster on top, plus mushrooms, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and lobster mac and cheese for sides. Everything was delicious, and the steaks were cooked perfectly medium. Just when we were ready to get the bill, Brandon surprised us with a birthday cake. My husband gave me a look (since he does not like attention), but I quietly thanked Brandon, and we ended up enjoying it. It was really good cheesecake! 'Twas an awesome birthday dinner. Great ambiance, delicious food, a perfect table, and great service. We'll be back, especially since we live in the area! read more

The mashed potatoes are fine. The seared tuna is fine. The rocks rita margarita somehow tasted like bananas. My 16 oz Ribeye dripping with fat, the only flavor being butter and oil, flavorless creamed spinach which I could not finish, chunky spinach and artichoke dip. I would say the food at Ruth's Chris is enjoyable to the kind of people who think pepper is spicy. It smelled crazy in there, like melted plastic, maybe lingering cleaning supply smells. Distressing ambiance. Overflowing trash in the bathroom. I will only ever go against my will. Service was fine - very prompt and to the point. read more

We used to always go to the Ruth's Chris in the Bethesda area, but that one closed a while back. So this is the closest one. We had happy hour here and it was great. The Zucchini fries was a bit less that before but everything else was the same but different price of course a bit more than before. They were quick to get our order and we were able to place pur drinks order right away and our happy hour food. It was very good. I loved it. I love the ambience too the chairs were comfortable and the seating wasn't too crowded unlike some places. This was a good location too, you can walk around afterwards. read more

Ordered food togo online and was met with EXTREMELY rude hosts. I went to sign my receipt, exed out the tip because I tipped on my order already and one of the host boldly made the comment "we knew that would happen". The comment was extremely unnecessary and unwarranted. This was the first time ever coming to this location and it will be my last. Ruth Chris is mediocre at best so to even have that kind of service displayed is crazy. I hope the hostesses have the day they deserved and begging for other folks money at your JOB isn't cute. read more

I've passed by Ruth's Chris many time and have not stopped. Recently I met with a friend to continue my birthday celebration, bit we didn't quite nake it for their happy hour. For our main appetizer we ordered the Calamari and Tuna, I've had many Calamari and Tuna appetizer before, but theirs was exceptionally tasty. Our choice of cocktais I had a 9 oz glass of their Cabernet, but I don't recall the brand, my friend had the old fashioned. Service was really good and fast, great staff and we loved the bartender he offered good recommendations. Since we weren't going to do table service and chose to sit at the bar the atmosphere was good, we were able to speak and hear each other. For your first visit to Ruth's Chris I recommend going during happy. I will revisit them during happy hour at some point when my schedule permits.. read more

Food, service, atmosphere, everything was amazing. Our server Brandon was great, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He helped me pick the RC paper plane, he described the cocktail perfectly it was just like he said a bit sweet and smokey. We started with the small seafood tower, good selection of fresh seafood. I had the lamb chops, they were well seasoned, and so tender. Great date night place or if you're celebrating a special occasion. read more

This RC restaurant is EXCELLENT...true to Ruth Chris standards. My wife and I went for our 42nd anniversary and absolutely loved it. The service, wine and food were very high quality. Our waiter, Henry was a true professional. Excellent in every way. The restaurant manager Enrique came to out table a couple times just to check up. WOW. They also surprised us with a complimentary small cheese cake to share. We absolutely will return. Remember, in life, one gets what they pay for and this establishment is worth it. read more

A truly outstanding experience. I've been to steakhouses all over the US and normally avoid chains but given my son's birthday wishes and the weirdly not-good options in the DC burbs Ruth's Chris won the toss. Holy cow was it a good call. Everyone in the family is super picky but me (ha). The place was about half full on a Sunday evening and enough bustle to make it fun. Of course it's all special occasions. The front desk staff set the tone, our waiter was charming and they have enough staff so someone is always around. I got a NOLA mule cocktail as it's a New Orleans based approach. In fact we stuck to a lot of the 'Ruth's Favorites' and I recommend it. Things are a bit spicy and there's plenty of remoulade and creamy stuff happening. So the food: they bring nice warm mini baguettes and butter. We got the house salad and the barbecue shrimp to start. Son didn't care for shrimp (which were great, big, and succulent so good for me) but enthusiastically mopped up that sauce with bread. Daughter got sea bass, huge chunk cooked like steak, excellent. Son got 'the filet' which was fantastic. Wife did too. I got a mini filet (8 oz) with 'Oscar style' which adds crab cake asparagus and a great bearnaise sauce. They were very kind about the birthday putting special glitter on the table, focusing on the guest of honor and putting out a cute little cheesecake for him at the end. My family said they wouldn't change a thing. I rarely give all the stars but, y'all earned it. read more

I have only done take out at this location and the ambience is dark and moody. I don't particularly care for their design and color scheme, so aesthetically, it isn't pleasing to me.

Ruth's Chris Steak House - French onion - Steakhouses Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I visited location yesterday set in lounge area and had a very disappointing experience. After being seated, we were never given a menu, We waited 30 mins with No services , which made the visit confusing and uncomfortable from the start. As we were leaving, instead of anyone checking in or apologizing for the lack of service, a staff member asked whether we had left the check on the table. That felt unprofessional and was an odd way to end an already poor experience. And that has never happened to me before at any restaurant. Basic communication and service were missing here, and based on this visit, I wouldn't return. And also, this is maybe my sixth time visiting this location because it is closer but the service gets worse and worse each time. This was the icing on cake I won't be going back. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Shrimp Cocktail - Steakhouses Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

We've eaten at several Ruth's Chris restaurants over the years, including the original one in New Orleans. Last night, the Ruth's Chris in Gaithersburg kept the flame alive. Uncle's spicy shrimp appetizer was nicely cooked and the sauce was indeed spicy; very nice. Wife's French onion soup was tasty; the beef broth was very rich. Uncle's crab cake was good, my ribeye was better than good (great piece of meat, perfectly cooked, maybe a tad undersalted), and wife's filet was great - fork tender and juicy. Steaks were served in the Ruth's Chris signature sizzle plates with melted butter; best leave your $1200 suit at home. Crème brûlée and coffee were good, and wife's vast slab of carrot cake was also tasty. Service was patient, good-humored, informative, and efficient. Restaurant is huge and well laid out; tables aren't crowded, and quiet enough for conversation. Parking in the structure behind the restaurant was convenient. Only downside was dropoff and pickup of passengers; street by the front door is narrow and busy. You're better off dropping your passengers back by the parking structure and walking to the front door. read more

I recently started a self-challenge that called for me to hit the gym no less than four times a week; I decided to reward myself after a month of my new routine with a delicious, high-protein dinner. My friend and I consulted with each other and then the Yelp app; our consensus was steaks at Ruth's Chris, so that's exactly what we did! Before this visit, I'd never been to their location in Gaithersburg before; I'm very happy to report that the food here was every bit as good as my most recent experience with the Manhattan Beach location in Southern California. The service here was exceptional as well :-) We shared our meal family-style. After seeing that the menu includes a full gamut of not only the regular, boneless steak choices but prime, bone-in steaks as well, we decided on a boneless NY Strip and a bone-in Filet. We specified that both steaks should be cooked medium-well, and when they arrived they were seasoned to perfection and cooked precisely as requested. The side dishes were very good, and the selection of wines available by the glass was not only reasonably priced by there was a surprisingly good selection. To be fair, the wines by the glass are about the only part of our meal here that was reasonably priced, but if you don't want to settle for anything less than an incredible steak dinner then I think you'll find that the food here is worth every penny! read more

It's official, Ruth Chris has fallen off. We ate at this location for the second time on Christmas Eve. This Ruth's Chris may be one of the chain's worst locations, period. I would put this location on par with Outback or Applebee's, only with a much higher price tag. We sent the drinks back twice, the steak was overcooked and cold. The wedge salad's dressing was just horrible. The great news is that the customer service was impeccable. The server Isaiah was knowledgeable, funny, and eager to please. The manager was one of the most responsive restaurant managers I have ever encountered. Again, the issue was the food and drinks. read more

The Woodford Reserve Bourbon cocktails paired with the four course pairing was absolutely delicious. The charbroiled oyster was paired with a Kentucky Berry Fizz. Yum! The pork belly was paired with a Run For the Roses cocktail which was made with WRWiskey, Vanillia-Strawberry-Rhubarb puree. Very nive but my favorite was the Burgoo paiared with a Kentucky Barrel Rush, which was comprised of WRDouble Oak Bourbon, creme de pe`che liquer, lime, spice brown sugar and black walnut berries. Os, so fine tasting and great pairing. The main dish was Woodford and Coffee infused prime strip steak and a Cafe` Reserve Old Fashioned. Oh so good! Everything was delicious and our server, Henry, was prompt, efficient, and delightful as alsways. We love Henry and Ruth's Chrs' dinner pairings. thank you for a wonderful time. read more

Lesley Gore popularized the song titled It's My Party - with an opening line of "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to", well no tears at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse located on Crown Point Avenue, in Gaithersburg, MD. Through a generous gift card received as a volunteer, we enjoyed one of the most memorable meals - EVERY. Perfection is not often chosen to describe most of our dining experiences, however it is THE choice to describe the superior service provided by our server Lillian and in concert with the team behind the scene - perfecting our dinner selections. My choice was the petite fillet - medium well and the birthday girl chose the sizzling crab cake (trio). Seasoned, cooked and served to perfection by Lillian who could ask for more?! Desert menu please! Desert - having traveled for work extensively over the years, I've had the occasion to dine in many upscale restaurants, enjoy cheesecake in famous New York restaurants, however, the classic cheesecake accompanied by fresh berries and mint sprig served this night was the best ever. In fact those other experiences paled in comparison to the fresh, light and incredibly delicious treat. We generally don't chose fine dining when dining out and the experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Gaithersburg has forever changed our minds! Thank you Ruth's Chris! read more

We were there last night, 9/14/25. The staff was great, very attentive as usual. My wife got filet and a lobster tail and I got a filet with crab topped shrimp. The steaks were fabulous, cooked just right and tender as can be. Unfortunately none of the seafood was any good. The shrimp and lobster were tough, obviously over cooked. The crab was served small crab cake balls, and were less than average. Tons of filler and the crab, while there, played a minor part. Nobody from the mid Atlantic area would serve those at their home to guests. Just a reminder really that this is a steak house so stick to steak when dining here. read more

It's been a while since I've eaten at Ruth's Chris Steak House. The food and service is still wonderful. My friends and I dined here recently to celebrate something. One friend and I each ordered a 16 oz. bone-in filet while my other friend opted for the prix fixe meal, choosing the lobster bisque, steak & shrimp, and mashed potatoes. Her meal also came with a mini dessert. We also added a side of creamed spinach. My medium rare filet came out perfectly, while my friend's filet was a little overcooked for her liking, but they brought her a new filet. However, they forgot that she had opted out of no butter. I really enjoyed my steak. It was very tender and delicious. The creamed spinach was really good, but the mashed potatoes could use a little more flavor. Because of the steak mistake and we were celebrating something, they gave us free desserts. They even gave us a congratulations card as soon as we sat at our table. I left full and happy! There is free garage parking and also a parking lot behind Downtown Crown Beer. There is also valet parking. read more

What a phenomenal meal! Henry took such care of our party of 6, guiding us to some excellent dishes that we might have overlooked and keeping us laughing. Everything was delicious, from soup to nuts. My prix fixe dinner was just right, but trying extra bites of the tuna appetizer (not pictured), the stuffed mushrooms (not pictured), and the stuffed chicken was the icing on the cake. Of those appetizers, the tuna is the one that I would try again (and again and again!) Shout out to the bar for making me the best virgin drink I've ever had: a virgin blueberry mojito. Sipping on that luscious flavor combination, I didn't miss the alcohol at all. I'm looking forward to visiting Ruth's Chris again for happy hour sometime soon. read more

Despite impeccable service thanks to one of the finest, caring waiters that anyone could wish for- and trying to create a memorable experience for an important veteran of the Department of Defense for her 101st birthday- Steven decided to mistreat several guests from ages 6 to 101. In creating the booking with Steven and requesting the kind, elegant Henry as our waiter, it was mentioned that flowers and balloons and gifts may arrive as gifts. I was then put on hold, but a young lady came on the phone and reconfirmed everything. Upon arrival, Eugenio, said no balloons- despite the cost of $65. He was thoughtful and allowed one 101 balloon . The rest were at the host stand and the 6 year old could greet her great grandmother with the balloons and they would be stored until departure. Steven decided to break her great granddaughter's heart and deny the promised greeting. She cried. I witnessed part of the cruelty. In the past, I thought Steven was excellent. It was noticed by several in the restaurant that Steven walked around the restaurant but never once approached the veteran on her 101st birthday. He said hello to every table, mostly new patrons, yet ignored those of us who paid thousands of dollars in wedding rehearsal dinners, birthdays, etc. He knew he treated us like scum. Despite great baked potatoes and successful filets, the crab cakes were mush with shreds of lump meat except in one of three cakes that had three visible lumps. Being extremely loyal to Ruth Chris in many locations for 30 years, it is obvious this location will NEVER have our corporate business again. I know it's winter and Gaithersburg has had a lot of snow- but the restaurant should not be on the sled ride to the bottom. Shame on them for the hurt. Hopefully Eugenio will replace the uncaring, basically mean Steven. read more

This is definitely my go to please if you have seen my post on yelp. From the ambience to the service and the food everything is just amazing. I ordered the tomahawk and their day to lobster and Mac with cream of spinach . As always, I usually finish the tomahawk and take the bone with me lol. Ruth Chris steaks marinated and seasoned perfectly, and the seasoning does not overwhelm the steak. One bite of the steak you can tell that it is perfect grilled. read more

Ask for Francesco and William to be your servers- they were awesome! read more

The food and drinks here are always good and consistent. The mushrooms with crab meat were great. I like crab and mushrooms so it was a great appetizer for me. The filet mignon with shrimp was also really good and had good flavors. The steak was seasoned well and the shrimp was also cooked well. I usually get the pomegranate martini here which I love, but this time I had the Cabernet Sauvignon which was good and went well with my meal. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the service is good too. read more

Rather spend my money elsewhere. The steak was not very tasty and the presentation was poor.

You walk into a dark room with a good crowd. The code is great and you can immediately tell everyone is there for a cocktail and a little decompression on a Friday after work. It's just a great happy hour environment, and we really enjoy what Ruth Chris has to offer. Let's kickoff with drinks. The Rita is solid, nothing spectacular but a nice drink to kick things off. Stepping it up a little you can move to the pomegranate martini. It's a solid cocktail and a great happy hour choice! For a happy hour snack we went for the ahi tuna. It' was super fresh and had a nice spice. The cucumber side salad matches nicely for a snack. If you are really hungry the way to go is the burger. Prepared we'll and absolutely massive, it's the best deal on the happy hour menu! You just can't beat the vibe at Ruth Chris for happy hour in Crown, perfect choice! read more

What a meal...We went for a special occasion and weren't disappointed at all! We'd been to the RC in downtown DC so thought we'd try this location. We had 2 Ruth's Classics. It included choice of appetizer (House Salad, Ceasar Salad, or Lobster Bisque); Choice of Steak + Shrimp or Steak and Lobster, and Choice of Side (Creamed Spinach or Masjed Potatoes). You also get Chef's choice of desert...all for $71 per person. All of the food was delicious...cooked perfect (we ordered 1 medium and 1 medium well). We got 1 steak w/ shrimp and the other with lobster. Both were good, but the lobster was noticeably smaller than we expected. The restaurant is beautiful, tucked away from the road in a nice, upscale outside mall. Service was excellent. Waiter checked on us several times and was responsive throughout the meal. Looking forward to going back again. read more

This is our go to place. Whether its to get a bite after running errands or for a quick and easy date night, the service and food is always consistent which is super important. At Ruth's Chris you know what you are going to get which a good thing. I've been to other locations in NY and Puerto Rico over the years and am glad that we now have this location in Downtown Crown near us. Sometimes we get the tomahawk ribeye and split between my husband and I. They changed their ahi tuna it is no longer strips of ahi tuna with a cucumber ginger salad, it is now more like a tuna tarate tower with wonton chips. Still good, although I do miss the old version. They also recently added a black truffle mac and cheese which is my favorite dish there other than the steaks of course. The lobster mac is good, the cheese sauce is not super creamy though. Sea bass is pretty good as well and don't care too much for the crab cakes since they have filling with peppers. I prefer a more jumbo lump crab. Lobster tails are good with butter sauce - maybe about 5-6 oz each. They have a good wine selection and happy hours M-F. They carry my favorite red wine, a Cabernet by Daou. Ive been here over a 100x and pretty much know all of the staff. The Bethesda location closed so they moved some staff from there to the Downtown Crown location and are getting more traffic these days. Shot out to Henry, he is always a pleasure. Highly recommend - can not go wrong. read more

My wife and I had never been to Ruth Chris together and neither of us had been in over 10 years. We like high end restaurants and I received a gift card for $125 so we decided to go. The service was very good and I tipped based on the total check because it was well deserved. The food, not so much. We ordered stuffed mushrooms and spicy shrimp. Both tasted like they were frozen and warmed in the microwave. We ordered a steak, cream spinach, and garlic mash potatoes. The steak was cooked correctly and was very tasty. The mash potatoes tasted like they were from a box, and they spinach was ok. We ordered crème brulee, which was very good and helped with our disappointment. Needless to say we were very disappointed, as we spent a lot and our expectations were not met. We will most likely not be going back. read more

I checked in and told the desk my friend was coming shortly. I also told them that my mother passed away earlier that day and my friend wanted to support me. I was seated in the main dining room. The waiter was a Caucasian man. He has brown hair and seemed to be on t he younger side. He was more focused on telling me how many employees transferred from Bethesda. His focus should have been on getting water to the table before 13 minutes and letting us know about specials. I flagged down another wait staff member and asked her to tell the waiter that we were moving to the bar area. Once we moved, two wait staff members came to take our order. We were told that Matilda was training so they would both be assisting us. We ordered two dirty martinis. They came incorrectly because of the previous waiter putting the order in incorrectly. My friend asked about potato vodka. When the cocktails arrived she didn't have blue cheese stuffed olives. He didn't follow her request. We ordered and finally we ate our meal. This location really needs to improve their customer service. This would not be a recommended place to dine for my followers. Best regards, Chef Candra read more
