We are going to Ruth's Chris tonight to spend a gift certificate that expires in a week :)pissed: ). But my irritation over that little detail can be vented elsewhere.


Anyhoo, other than the obvious steaks, what do y'all order there? What salad is good, or seafood? I like steak OK, but would probably order something else that is lighter. I remember a discussion about this place, but couldn't find it. So you Ruth's Chris people, please give me the scoop! Thanks!

I have been to probably four different Ruth's Chris. As you probably know, everything is a la carte. If you order a side, split one with your significant other. The lyonaisse potatos are pretty good. Of all the different steaks they do, I prefer the strip. The lettuce wedge with bleu cheese is my favorite salad they do, but they're all good.

Sorry, but I don't have any experience with other entrees. It is, after all, a streak house. When in Rome......

Alright you guys--- T minus 3 hours 'til cow time. Nobody has any other favorites at Rufus Chris' Steakhouse (that's what Kate is calling it)? I guess JB is right- when in Rome, eat a steak swimming in a butter pool! I am a butter addict- maybe they can just bring me the pool of butter and a straw.:blink:


The bad news is my almost 6', 165 lb. son will be with us. He could eat 3 steaks. Maybe I will nibble off of his. Bdarg will be guarding his own plate like a pit bull. I looked at the menu and there are some garlicky shrimp that sound up my ally. A friend mentioned a chopped salad. :dunno:

I WILL be having the creme brulee!:clap_1:

I am ill. Just got off the phone with Peapod, which kept me distracted through my groaning stomach. I may be over the worst of it. BBQ shrimp (best part of the meal- the bread soaked in the sauce was way YUM!), caesar salad, lamb chops, halibut, steak, fries (kids were with us), and CREME BRULEE!!!!!! Our children were great and lovely company- no nosepicking at the table or anything!:D

BUT- it was an evening of "Jdarg, this is your life!" It is prom season, so lots of prom dates there for dinner. Then, I ran into MY senior prom date, we laughed, yada yada. As we were leaving, ran into my 9th grade prom date. At that point, I hauled a$$ outta there- it was only going downhill. My son probably thinks I dated half of Louisville!:eek:

:rotfl: :rotfl: No thank goodness, considering we are all old enough to have kids old enough to go to proms!

Actually, my senior prom date was a good friend, and he married a really cool gal- have always liked the both of them. My 9th grade prom date was a guy I grew up with, and the only boy in school taller than me. We still have lots of blackmail stories about each other. He wore a baby blue tux to prom- I about died, even in the 70's.:blink:

No,No, it could have been worse. I love JB....but his earlier post mentioned that Ruth Cris was a "streak place". Then there was the reference to "when in Rome". I just had these visions of the little dargs sitting by with :eek: on their faces. Meanwhile you and bdarg.......well, you get my drift! :shock:

Well, some of the prom dresses were pretty darn close to naked, so I guess it could be a "streak" place! Bdarg and I were not streaking- we were too busy smearing our faces with butter and sauces.

I am giving up for the night- I am "butter drunk" and must lie down....you ladies carry on the funn and post some great reading material for the a.m.!!!
