Extremely chaotic parking. Difficult to navigate, easy to receive door dings. The hostess was apathetic, and that was a disappointing welcome. While waiting in the cramped and dirty lobby I made a call to Fleming's a block away. They had seating available and sounded happy to hear from us. We left Ruth's Chris to their cramped, dirty and apathetic selves. read more

We have been patrons at Ruths Chris for many years (15+). We come here for special occasions and often times for Christmas Eve. Though it is a chain, it is really tough to beat the service and food quality here at Ruths Chris. I ordered an 11oz filet (Pittsburgh rare). It was cooked exactly as expected!! At the table we ordered ai gratin potatos, au gratin, asparagus, and mushrooms. All were FANTASTIC!! You just cant go wrong here, I have been going to Ruths Chris for a long time and will continue for a long time!! Fantastic!! read more

Had another great visit to this location. Greeted kindly upon entrance. We went for the sizzle and swirl happy hour. I noticed the drinks went up from $9 to $12, but they still have the $9 steak burger. All off the appetizers were amazing. We loved the ahi tuna, shrimp and the spinach and goat cheese dip. Cocktails were delicious and crafted well. Music was outstanding! I was surprised by how good the playlist was. We will definitely return. read more

We went in a little after opening to avoid the dinner rush and also grab some happy hour deals. We sat in the lounge, at a nice table in the corner. The inside while nice, is slightly outdated. But not deterring. The service was great. Our waitress came over almost immediately with bread and water. Ordered drinks and an appetizer, which came out quickly. The good: The steak sandwich with fries was the best thing we ate. It was cooked perfectly, tender, and the sauce on top complimented the crusty bread. The bread pudding is also one of the best I've ever had. Dense but moist, with a rich buttery and bourbon taste from the glaze. The bad: The actual steak is by far the worst at any steakhouse I've had. There wasn't an ounce of salt. None at all. The steak was also way undercooked that even the hot plate didn't bring it up to the medium rare we ordered (it was blue). The lobster tail was just ok. You needed the butter and it was tender, but again just no flavor or seasoning. I will go back for happy hour and that sandwich. But the actual steak, just go anywhere else. read more

Stopped in by accident due to the Florida rain. Found out about the happy hour! Amazing food lots of options both in food and drinks. The bartender was easy to talk to and prompt with service. Nice portion size for happy hour. Was able to get three apps and share them with the girls. Very good food. Wasn't packed which I appreciate. Very clean and not loud. Will surely be going back for another happy hour in the future. read more

This was one of the best restaurants I've attended. It was a table of 9 of us and the gratuity was added into the checks. Now our server was handsome, smelled good, and so polite. They had a 3 course meal for $55 which was very good but you would want more and more because the food was delightful. The crab cake was so delicious we had to order some to take home it was so good. The dessert was very elegant. Now the decor was so nice in there. The restaurant is very elegant. The steak was juicy cooked to perfection and they allowed you to pay a difference to upgrade your sides to lobster macaroni and cheese. I can rant on and on about the crab cake I would like to buy some and stuff it in some salmon it was so good. I give them a 10 out a 10! read more

The standout of our evening was the great service. It truly set the tone for a great evening--our server was friendly and attentive. The surf-and-turf offering, featuring a filet paired with a perfectly cooked lobster tail, strikes a satisfying balance of rich flavors and indulgence. One of my favorite parts of any Ruth's Chris is the various sides to share, which never disappoint. While the ambience is warm and the experience can be worth it, the higher price point means it's best saved for a special night out. With so many restaurants and steakhouses in the area, I don't know if it is my top choice, but it's a good choice when you want refined food and top-notch service. read more

We love Ruth's Chris and went there for our anniversary! They are fantastic for special occasions and any time! They made our dinner extra special with a table of rose petals and hearts, plus a card! Fantastic ambiance! What special care! We were greeted by a delightful hostess, seated and attended to by Alex. Our server, Alex, was phenomenal. Great service! We started off ordering our drinks & appetizers. We ordered the Thai chile calamari and the shrimp cocktail. For our meal we ordered the petite filet, add jumbo lobster, ribeye steak, and creamed spinach. All were perfectly cooked to order and the creamed spinach was delicious! So we didn't finish all our steaks, we bagged to take home because we needed to have dessert! Special anniversary cheesecake, so scrumptious. What a perfect way to celebrate our 38th anniversary. Loved it. read more

Let me start off by saying I absolutely love this restaurant ! I've eaten at quite a few across various states. This by far was the worse one experience yet. This location didn't feel like a Ruth Chris. If something was dropped on the floor or table, it remained there the entire time. I could see napkins, straw wrappers, water and tickets on the floor. I ordered a lemon drop and the glass had different colors of lipstick on it. The restrooms were also dirty. The service was okay. The calamari, lobster Mac and cheese and asparagus were warm as if it had been sitting. Our steaks weren't cooked as ordered and they were tough. I'm accustomed to having a melt in your mouth steak from Ruth Chris but this was like a subpar backyard BBQ steak. We were given a complimentary dessert of our choice, which was positive. The best part of the meal was the lobster Mac and cheese. It was okay. Wish I could give them a 2.5. I hate that I didn't enjoy this meal. read more

It was not as good as they pretended to be. The hostess was not welcoming and was not friendly. The server was nice, but he forgot a lot of things. The ambiance was loud and it felt like we were sitting in an outdated conference room. We ordered Tomahawk, Jumbo Lobster Tail, Caesar Salad, Baked Potato, and French Onion Soup. Tomahawk and Caesar Salad were good. French Onion Soup and Baked Potato were okay. Jumbo Lobster Tail was too salty like it cooked with saltwater. For the bill that costed almost $300, there are so many good places that have better steak and service in Orlando that we can go to. read more

On vacation in Orlando from S.C. Went for Mother's Day, we placed our order 3 salads 5 sides and the 3 crab cake entree ... the entree was brought to our table before the salads we tried to explain that was our entree but they left it there ... chopped salad came out with wrong dressing and waitress had a hostile attitude when we complained n she brought it back out literally swimming in dressing, sides were were sub par at best ... crab cakes were not what I am used to from other R.C. But our biggest complaint and disappointment was Sierra our server obviously has an attitude problem ...I have ate at several Ruth's Chris restaurants in several states and this was by far my worst experience % read more

I thought things would've gotten better after so many years so I thought I'd come back and I was wrong. I've had better food at longhorn. This place has fell off and is now ghetto fabulous. To make this worse my steak was larger than my plate, looks like they served me on a saucer, the French onion was French acidic and seriously the bar has no simple syrup. i'm still trying to figure out what cost me $300. I won't be back... rant over . read more

We went for magical dining and were not disappointed at all! We loved the 3 course meal and started with the lobster bisque. It was so creamy and delicious. Then came the sizzling filets and were absolutely incredible! I really liked the crust and the melted butter. It was so interesting and a very unique way to enjoy a steak. Lastly, I ordered the cheesecake, and my wife ordered the berries and cream. Both were so amazing! We celebrated our 2nd anniversary as well, and we sat near the wine rack in the corner for more private seating. We really appreciate that! Our servers were extremely attentive and professional. Overall, we had an incredible time and left so happy! read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I used to like Ruth's Chris but it's been a couple years since I've been to this location on Sand Lake. I read someone else's review that said it's turned into "ghetto fabulous" and I think that's pretty accurate. The ambiance, service and overall experience was pretty lackluster. The host was smug (I wonder if he knows that actual nice restaurants treat their customers kindly & professionally), the server wasn't bad but seemed to be in a rush to get it over with and didn't care much for us. I'm not sure there's much control over the clientele but man, at least enforce some type of dress code... was I at McDonald's or Ruth's Chris? I hope the other location near us didn't go down the drain like this one. The weird thing is that none of the other servers seemed any better... not sure what they've done with it but we won't be returning. Sad. I'll go down the street to Capital Grille or Charley's for a good steak. read more

This was probably one of the best experiences I have had in a very long time. It was so good we went back a second time so I will combine both into 1 review. The first time it was for my birthday. We made reservations and when we arrived they had some confetti and a card on the table which was such a nice thoughtful touch. I ordered a manhattan which was super strong but I'm not complaining at all lol I had to have the calamari even though I was the only one in my party that likes that and it was delicious it was crispy and sweet/spicy. I definitely recommend it if you want an appetizer. For our mains we both ordered from Ruth's classic which was steak and shrimp. Of course I added the lobster Mac and cheese. Although pricey it had a bountiful amount of lobster meat. Dessert I had the bread pudding to go because I was so full. The second time we went back for happy hour and I have to say I think they have the best happy hour than any place. It's EVERYTHING day from 4-6 in the bar area. Not only that it is a great deal with numerous options to choose. We chose the spicy shrimp because I love bang bang shrimp and that's exactly just it was like but better while my fiancé ordered the burger and fries. I will say it is a great deal and the burger was super juicy and cooked to perfection. Fries as always are delicious. I absolutely recommend coming. read more

What a wonderful experience! Reserved a table for 9 family members event. They were ready for us; from the Hostess to Alex (an awesome professional Server) to the GM, Ms Victoria Blackford (a young super manager that has the team all marching to an enjoyable drum-beat). Our family could not have been happier. The drinks were all very well-prepared (recommend the Gamblers Old Fashioned). My wife loved her Garlic Crust SeaBass. Our granddaughters raved on the Lobster Mac&Cheese & the Spicy Shrimp. The Cowboy Ribeye with Lobster tails were the favorite of our sons.... Don't miss the Crab Cakes and finalize with a spectacular Crème Brûlée... We had been doing mostly EddieV's and Ocean Prime, but now is Ruth Chris at SandLake. Management matters!! Thanks Ms Victoria! read more

Ruth's Chris has been on my list of restaurants I've been wanting to try for years. And I finally got to try for the first time a few weeks ago. It was husbands birthday and he wanted steak. Took advantage of their magical dining menu. There was 4 of us and we each had their steak. Our meals came with an appetizer, main course with side item, and dessert. And of course we ordered their goat cheese and artichoke dip as a pre-appetizer. The goat cheese and artichoke dip came with warm bread for dipping or to slather. Each of us had the Cesar salad which was perfectly portioned. By the time our 8 oz petite filet came out, we were pretty stuffed. Oh and not to mention the dessert. I had their famous bread pudding. Husband got to pick his dessert that was not on their magical dining menu because it was his birthday. He got the chocolate cake which was rich and thick. Perfect for the chocolate lover. To be very honest, I was reluctant on trying such a fine dining restaurant during Magical Dining because I've heard so many horror stories from people who didn't have the best experience . BUT, that was quite the opposite for us. Our waitress Dawn (I think that was her name), took care of us that evening. She was very attentive. Just hearing her speak so highly of the chefs and the restaurant and how they take pride in preparing their food was mesmerizing. And the food was delicious too!! I loved hearing her talk. We all did! Her customer service skills is impeccable and it shows through her work. She made us feel right at home and the birthday celebration was very special. Husband loved that they sprinkled some birthday confetti across the table before we sat down. It was subtle enough to see but at the same time, not overboard. It was a classy touch that matched the classy ambiance. World class experience at its finest!! We're definitely coming back!!! read more

New Year's Eve dinner was absolutely delicious. A picture is worth a thousand words and as you can see two lobster tails and a 6 oz Filet Mignon arrived to the table sizzling and cooked to perfection. My steak was ordered medium and it was perfectly that.The steaks are cooked to 500 degrees so they literally are sizzling when brought to the table, be careful and remember not to touch the plate though because they are right out of the oven also. Definitely worth the price $55 per plate mentioned above and mushroom side order was separate, I believe $12 . We do dine at Ruth Chris every so often and will return. The only thing i dod not like was the table we were assigned to which was the first booth right after the hostess stand. It was too close to the entrance and hostess stand so there was not much privacy and noisy and everyone entering the door were seen and passed by the table.Ofcourse it ended up being very busy around our table as the evening progressed. A little privacy on New Year's especially would have been nice. We arrived at 3:45 pm early dining and the restaurant was not busy at this time since they opened at 3 pm so i have no idea why we were seated here. I did not make a fuss through The hostess did not offer us the " Specials New Years Menu" . So after browsing the regular hard cover menu and just about ready to order our steak, we asked if there were any special dishes for the evening and thats when the server said yes and went to get them. So kind of odd that we were not given these in addition to the regular menus when hostess sat us down nor did the server announce them as he was ready to jot down our selections from the regular menu. Luckily we asked for it at the last second. Two Lobster tails and Filet Mignon dish was not on the regular menu. I recommend always asking what the Special Dishes of the evening are and if there are any other menus :) Other than this, service was good. Meal was tasty. read more

A solo happy hour date at Ruth's Chris led to a very happy me. I went to Ruth's and ordered the pomegranate martini and tried their Prime Cheeseburger (happy hour). The drinks here are PHENOMENAL. I could have stayed there for the drinks alone. My bartender was also attentive and personable. The burger, however, wasn't as amazing as I wished it be sure to the name but my life for a soft bun could have played a role in that. I was glad to buy the burger at a happy hour price. For dessert, I HAD to try the bread pudding and an espresso martini (I LOVE espresso martinis) and neither of them disappointed. The bread pudding comes warm and moist and the splash of Bailey's I asked for in my martini paired right along with it. All I needed was a blanket and a lounge chair! I'll definitely be returning but I'll certainly opt for a steak next time to give a true rating, but I was pleased with my outing AND I had some bread pudding left over to take home. read more

We went to Ruth's Chris Steak House as they have these pretty sweet Wine dinners on a regular basis. This night was the Belle-Glos family of wines and they paired the wines with various food items. Each course was good and we chose this one as it had both steak and salmon. Honestly, I think every month, they have a filet on their wine dinner, but the other items on the menu made us choose this one. We'll either pick this based on the Winery or the Menu. If you're going to indulge, why not have a nice steak. We enjoyed the dinner, the service was excellent, and Mr. S won the basket of goodies. For a chain steak house, it's pretty good. read more

I was finally able to check out Happy Hour and it definitely was worth it. The restaurant has the very traditional steakhouse feel, dark and elegant. We sat at the bar and sampled some cocktails and chose the steak sandwich which was only $11 on happy hour. The steak was cooked to perfection as were the well seasoned fries. I tried the cosmopolitan, which was a bit sweet for me. I then opted for the house red which was great with the steak! read more

I enjoyed my date night with my partner at Ruth Chris, as we were immediately seated for reservations on a Friday night. We participated in Magical Dining for $37 per person. I ordered the Caesar salad, stuffed chicken, and the cheesecake. My partner ordered lobster bisque, steak and shrimp (added the lobster tail for an extra $), and the cheesecake. We also ordered a side of the truffle Mac and cheese (the sides are shareables; the magical dining menu does not come with sides). I enjoyed all of my food. The salad was simple, but tasty with plenty of dressing. The stuffed cheese in the chicken was delicious, and the cheesecake was good. My partner did not enjoy his lobster bisque (left an aftertaste), the steak was undercooked (ordered a medium well; but the flavor was delicious), and I wasn't a big fan of the Mac and cheese (a little bland with strong cheese flavor). The Drinks were great: from the Manhattan, old fashioned, espresso martini, wine, etc.; and our waiter, Marty, was kind and attentive. I would definitely visit again and try new items, yet keep Steak. read more

Great experience! I made a large party reservation online for 20 people. That itself was a surprise because most of the other restaurants I checked out require you to call to make the reservation and it crosses over into being a banquet room/prefix menu situation. As we got closer, my count reduced to 16. Our table set up was good and we had two servers. Both handled our orders wonderfully. Not one complaint from anyone in our party. We were celebrating my fathers birthday and the table had confetti and a birthday card signed by employees. Nice touch. Various food items were ordered and again not one complaint. Everything was cooked perfectly and enjoyed. I know this is a steak house (and the steaks were delicious), but those sweet potatoes stole the show! read more

We have been to Ruth's Chris several times before, for me the food was always just okay. We recently came here for a financial seminar and was still underwhelmed by the food. Let's start with seasoning, it adds so much to the food and which was missing from this meal. We started off with a salad, which was fine, just greens and vinegrette, then I had the salmon, mashed potatoes and broccoli. The salmon had only pepper, no other seasoning and the broccoli was simply steamed. Even the mashed potatoes were bland. My husband's steak was overcooked and our server told him it would be a bit of a wait to redo the steak, so he kept it. He also ordered a glass of wine but after half an hour had gone by and no sign of our server, he went to the bar and got the wine himself. Not impressed. read more

I'm a huge fan of Ruth's Chris but I was actually a little disappointed with the level of service I received from this location. I've always gone to Ruth's Chris in Lake Mary and Winter Park so I'm very familiar with how the restaurant does things. Typically I go for happy hour more than dinner but I think this will be my last visit at the sand lake location. Sat in the bar area and was the first to arrive for happy hour. So it wasn't busy at all. My main issue that I had was the food runner stopped right in front of our table to watch the Jets game. Food was on the tray and ready to be served to us but the fact that he literally paused his attention to watch the Jets game for a few minutes and not say anything or apologize to us is so crazy to believe. If he's more interested in watching the game then he shouldn't be working. I also noticed that he did it to another table and wasn't wearing his mask properly. All of the staff were wearing their masks properly except for him. Our server was nice but not that attentive. Drinks were empty most of the time and she seemed not too happy with being at work. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the food. They always have tasty options but it was definitely disappointing to not have the same service that's at the other locations. I also want to let it be known that I'm a huge football fan as well. And I get that fans are committed to seeing the games during this fluid time but the jets aren't even having a good year. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend coming to this location. read more

I came here for my 30th birthday and it was also my first time coming here, and it was a bit disappointing. My husband had made reservations for 9pm and we had got there 10 minutes early and despite it being busy when we first walked in, we had waited an extra 25 minutes just to be seated when our reservation was at 9pm. After being seated I wanted to get a bottle of dry red wine and the waiter didn't know much about wine and that was fine but every time we asked a question he would have to leave our table and go ask someone. We had ordered off the Magical Dining menu and I had tried the Lobster Bisque which was really good and then I ordered the filet and I had asked for medium rare and soon as I had cut into it, it was cooked well-done... we asked for it to be corrected and it finally came out. After that we ordered dessert and I ordered bread pudding and they had brought out cheesecake, so by this time I was just over it. The food wasn't worth the money to me and all the problems that had occurred. read more
