Hello friends,
When you think of Ruth’s Chris Restaurant you probably think that it is expensive and will cost about $100 for your meal. This can be true if you stick to the regular a la cart menu. Which is an amazing menu by the way.
Some people think that you need to wait until “restaurant week” comes around to even eat at a restaurant like this. What if I told you that you can eat at Ruth’s Chris on a regular within a reasonable budget. How would you feel about that?
Let me start off with the idea that I like food and at times don’t really care what it costs, however I have figured out that some restaurants such as Ruth’s Chris offer a “happy hour menu” or a “prix fixe menu” daily, if you didn’t know then I am telling you that you don’t have to spend too much to eat there.
First of all sometimes it is best to check out the bar of the restaurant, sometimes the bar will have a special menu that is not utilized in the rest of the establishment. This is easier for me as I am usually eating solo. So if you have a big group, it is possible to get bar area seating, but just be mindful that there may be a wait, especially during the “happy hour time”.
The average meal on the “happy hour” menu is about $12 and the drinks listed are about $8. So for $20 plus tax and tip you can eat a meal that is a great quality and still filling.
Or you can take a look at the prix fixe menu, which the lowest amount is $39.99, plus tax and tip (not including a drink). This may seem like too much for some, but think about it this way, you are getting a salad, main course with side, and dessert. Which I think is a great deal. There are many options for this menu, salmon and shrimp, stuffed chicken breast, and even a steak. Keep in mind that this menu may change it’s offerings throughout the year, but the stuffed chicken is pretty much a staple on this menu. All of those are great options for a meal at this establishment that prides itself in the quality of its food.
Well, I just decided to share a little bit, everyone always thinks people have to spend so much money at Ruth’s Chris and you can if you eat a la cart style, but I am letting you know that you don’t have to.
I would like to add that I frequent The Ruth’s Chris Restaurants in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area, and they have amazing service.
Yes, I gave them a mention…you have to acknowledge great service when you get it. Especially when they don’t know that you are writing a review.
Drop me a comment to let me know if this post was helpful….(images from a couple of my meals are included below)
