Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

[SoCalSpursFan]

I can't find ANY nutritional info on Ruth's Chris...

I just want an idea of how many calories and fat(g) I am eating in a meal there. It's like a secret or something, I've searched and searched and found nothing.

Where or how do you suggest I get it?

P.S. Ruth's Chris is the best steakhouse around, hands down.

Maybe you're googling wrong? Try keywords like bypass, cholesterol, myocardial infarction, etc.

Just kidding, I hate when I can't find out the nutritional info on things. I had a hard time finding it for those little International Delight creamers--the portion control size at the convenience stores. I think I finally settled on 2 fat grams for every one I put in my coffee in the mornings, but I could never get a clear answer from what I recall.

Good luck, Ruth's Chris does rock! The service we had was excellent, and the food was really good.

[IX_Equilibrium]

I have eaten at Ruth's Chris many times, and I think it is highly overrated. I'll take Saltgrass over RC any day.

[AFBlue]

Best steak I've ever had was at Morton's of Chicago Steakhouse, similar in price to Ruth's Chris. Try that joint if you can.

My favorite bang-for-the-buck steak is at Texas Roadhouse, which plays big into it being my favorite restaurant...

[Jimcs50]

OVERRRATED

No way is it the best steakhouse...most expensive maybe, but not the best....not even close.

[01Snake]

I'll go with overrated as well.

[leemajors]

I think the Steaks there are good. Mortons has been the best I've had out in public but I still haven't found anyone that can make a 2 inch thick 1.5lb steak like I can.

yup yup, i rarely pay for steaks in a restaurant. much rather spend for a nice one and cook it at home exactly how i like it.

[PakiDan]

I like the steak at Whataburger. I just hate that they wrap it in a bun and add lettuce and junk.

[tlongII]

When did San Antonians become interested in nutritional information??? Ruth Chris is very good, but my favorite steakhouse is Ringside here in Portland.

Can you bring them to me?

They have cow in Portland? That'd be a step above Georgia, where all the Barbeque is pork...

It's harder to find brisket in Georgia than it is to find a naked picture of bea arthur (Airheads reference)...

P.S. Ruth's Chris is the best steakhouse around, hands down.

I personally like Morton's a little better. Everything from the presentation of the food upon arrival, to the dessert. Their lobster bisque is the shit as well.

[Sportcamper]

Anyone ever been to PINNACLE PETE'S in Arizona?
32 ounce porterhouse grilled over mesquite....You can’t beat that...

Do they have a Fleming's Prime Steakhouse out in Texas? If so, I would highly recommend it. It pwns Ruth.

I live in SoCal, and just went to Flemings last week. The steak was ok, but the raddish and bagel chip w/weird cheese appetizer instead of bread? Wasn't a big fan. The mashed potatoes were interesting though, how they combined them with the cheese all in one. I guess when picking between RC and Flemings they rank pretty close to eachother.

Mortons...

well, it was good, BUT...when they wheel out the cart of food and pull out the live lobster that I was planning on ordering, I didn't enjoy watching it wiggle and plead for its life with its little beady eyes. That's just me though. I know its rather hypocritical, but still.

Yes. How foolish of me for posting something so absurd.

I don't live in S.A, but I figured someone might have a suggestion. In anycase, maybe you SHOULD start worrying about nutritional information, it wouldn't hurt, that's for sure.

[johngateswhiteley]

lol. Ruth's Chris is a good steakhouse, no doubt. but Morton's of Chicago is the best in San Antonio, imo. although, there aren't that many great steakhouses in San Antonio. Bohanan's Steakhouse is pretty good and if you haven't tried it you should give it a shot.

as for romantic places, though its usually not worth the money, Grey Moss Inn wins hands down, imo.

[MrChug]

Excellent $2 steak and fries at Sugars! :toast

:lmao

WORRY??????
we did not become the FATEST city in the country by counting calories...
WE EAT AND EAT AND EAT... :hungry: :hungry: :hungry:

Dinner meetings with my company.

Yeah, there is actually one here in San Antonio. It's pricey, but it is better than Ruth.

[efrem1]

Actually, Ruth Chris is middle of the road in terms of price. A good steak at RC runs about $30 here in Sacramento. Morton's I know is twice that.

you can get a very good steak at the Capitol City steakhouse here in Austin for under $20. it's in the lobby of the Embassy Suites downtown but the cuts are excellent, well marbled and aged. Very good.

I disagree. RC is definitely high-end. Their prices are very similar to Morton's when you take into account the size of the steaks at the restaurants.

No its not.

[ShoogarBear]

[cornbread]

I've always been partial to the Old San Francisco Steak House prime rib. Throw in a big ass block o' cheese and a lady on a swing and I'm in heaven.

[Shelly]

I like Flemings the best...and yes, we have one here at the Quarry.

SoCalSpursFan, I couldn't find any nutritonal data either on them. But the calories are the same for steak, so see if the other steak restaurants have their nutritional data online. At least you can get an idea.

[Mr. Black]

just buy the ruth chris's seasoning, and make your own steak.

i always heard they seared them in butter.

IHOP, the best T-bone? That's like saying you can find the hottest girls in crackhouses. Sheesh...they ARE pretty good but they aren't the premium.

[Guru of Nothing]

I'm pretty sure the best steak I ever ate was a rib-eye at Veladi Steak House on Loop 410.

If you are going to eat cow, eat it the same day it's killed.

[IceColdBrewski]

I'm a Texas Roadhouse man myself. Being a creature of habit, I stick with a place once I find a good one. Been there dozens of times, and I've never left dissappointed with my steak.

Saltgrass also cooks a mean slice-o-cow, but the atmosphere at the "Road Ho" (as I like to call it) is much better.

[NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER]

This Army doesn't eat at IHOP.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Ruth's Chris pricey? It's the same as Flemings and Mortons. Around $30-40 for a steak depending on size, unless you get the porterhouse for 2, which is 85, and is a zillion ounces.

For a good steak, that's what you are going to pay, at least in Southern California it is.

was much better back in the day...

[BIG IRISH]

If you like your steak served on a platter of grease.


Outback is the best in SA.
Morton's is good, but make sue you have your steak "Pan Fried"
like Flemmings steaks are seared at extremely high temperatures
= steak is burnt on the outside.

a good sear at rare or medium rare is the only way to eat a steak. outback has horrible cuts of meat, cylindrical and often with tendons still inside.

For the everyday steak, I totally agree with you. I mean, I wish I could blow $120 easy at Morton's every night, but it ain't happening.

I love the food, to include the salad (and I don't eat salad very often), the service, the atmosphere, the happy hour specials....Texas Roadhouse has it all. Too bad I've got to drive 2 hours just to get to one, god I miss Texas!

[Sportcamper]

The IHOP close to me has one of the tastiest T-Bones around....I prefer the flavor over Ruth Chris...Ruth Chris restaurants may be a nice (and expensive) evening out but their steaks are on the bland side...

IHOP ROCKS! (http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:9L2vLW6vGNMu7M:http://www.gointranet.com/ihop/pics/mainLogo.gif)

Garlic Butter.

i do like that garlic butter steak they have at benihana. bit expensive for my tastes, but i went for my brother's birthday and my dad paid for it. they cooked it perfectly medium rare right there at the table, barely had to chew it.

[lebomb]

Mortons >>>>>> Ruths Chris

You could have asked for bread, both the cheese plate and bread are complimentary.

Outback is owned by Paul Fleming, owner of Flemings. Flemings gets the top 2% of all steaks which means they are prime. Outback does not get prime steaks.

Wow. Ty. I was not aware of that.

I guess I should have figured this much, but w/e. I guess bread shouldn't make that much of a difference, but the raddishes just didn't do it for me.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Anyone ever tried the gorgonzola crusted steak at Flemings? Delicious.
