Ruth's Chris Steak House - Parsippany

I had a delicious dinner with my mother and boyfriend at this restaurant. I am giving it four stars instead of five because, as a steakhouse, they should be better at getting the temperatures of the steaks correct. My mother and I ordered our steaks medium, but they came out rare. The food runner took them back to be cooked more, but they ended up overcooked. Despite this, the staff were all professional and kind. I had a great time chatting with the bartenders, as I am one myself, and reminiscing about my father's days working at Ruth's Chris. Overall, it was a sweet visit.

Last week, my friend Chas and I met up at the Ruth's Chris location in Parsippany, New Jersey. While Chas had been to a Ruth's Chris before, it was my first time. I was cautiously optimistic about our visit. I have tried many great steaks at various steakhouses across the country, but often find that I can make a similar steak at home. We started our meal with some cocktails. Chas ordered an Old Fashioned, so I decided to try a Manhattan for comparison. Typically a fan of Old Fashioneds, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Manhattan was better. A tip for Old Fashioned lovers - the bar inside the hotel next to the restaurant makes a good one. I didn't order an appetizer myself, but I sampled the Ruth's chopped salad and Lobster Bisque from my friends. The salad was creatively plated and had good flavors, while the Lobster Bisque was creamy with a strong lobster taste. Although I wouldn't personally pay for these appetizers, they were not bad at all. For our main course, Samantha and I shared the Porterhouse for Two, accompanied by fried potatoes and grilled asparagus for the table. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare and had a delicious buttery flavor. The grilled asparagus was decent, but nothing remarkable. For dessert, I tried the Ruth's Coffee, which was similar to the Cappuccino from Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. It was a delightful drink that I would definitely order again. Dining at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is on the pricier side, but if the food and drinks are as good as they were during our visit, it's worth it. Overall, our experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse was very enjoyable.

My husband, brother-in-law, his wife, and I came to this restaurant for Valentine's Day weekend. The food, especially the crab cakes, was delicious, and the drinks were also quite good. We each had two drinks, three entrees, and two appetizers, and the bill came out to just under $500, which we were fine with. Overall, we had a great dining experience and would definitely come back. The only downside was the parking situation - there was no available parking anywhere, possibly due to the holiday weekend. The parking lot was packed because it is shared with the hotel, but it could have been because of the festive weekend.

Great service but it's over priced with average food. Virgin blueberry mojito is flat and barely mint flavor and over sweetened from blueberry syrup. NY stip has a lot membrane and tendons. Mushroom with stuffed crabmeat and Brussel sprouts with bacon are good. Overall, I was disappointed.

Never been here before, the staff was very friendly and professional, service was spot on, restaurant was clean, easy on the eyes with the lighting, and classy. Pictured is the 11oz steaks which were delicious, the asparagus was perfect, the bread loaf crust had an excellent crackle and perfect soft interior, and the sweet potato casserole was very tasty, I would highly recommend.
