Review from Stephen H.
Mississauga, ON
3/15/2012
To start, we had a caesar salad and onion soup. Both were delicious. Ruth's Caesar salad is the best I've tasted; even better than those made tableside. The broth of the onion soup was quite flavourful.
We ordered two small filets, cooked medium, and they arrived with melting pats of butter on top. The steaks were truly delicious. Sides were cooked perfectly: onion rings (huge), asparagus, and potatoes au gratin.
For dessert, we had creme brûlée, which was quite overpriced at $12.
Overall, the bill approached $220 with tip included. For a perfect dinner, it is hard to beat this place.
One complaint I have is that I saw a guy walk in wearing a t-shirt and jeans. The manager should have told him the rules about casual attire. -

We had a bad experience here this past weekend. We had to wait 45 minutes for someone to take our order, and then when the food was finally served, 3 out of 4 steaks were cooked incorrectly. We had to send them all back, and then one was again not cooked correctly. Not sure how a place that calls itself a high end steak house can do that.
Our waiter did his best to make things right, but the runners, assistants, or whatever you call them were rude and incompetent, not to mention they had questionable personal hygiene.
The manager did give us a discount and apologized, but there is no excuse. We won't be back. -

I have to admit that I had the best steak of my life, but it costed me 50$ with no sides... I had a creme brulee, which was delicious too. On the down side, their sides were only so-so and we were expecting more for the price we paid. The decor was also very sterile and blend. Maybe good for business, but not so much for dates I thought. The service was excellent, but that is what you expect from a $$$$ place. Total bill was 175$ with tips and tax for 2 steaks, 2 sides, and one desert.

It isn't surprising that this was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. I still felt it in my belley at 4am when I woke up stuffed!
Service is great, they treat you like kings there. It is very pricey of course. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because of the lack of character in the place. I realize if you are going to Ruth's Chris, you're probably not going for character, but in my opinion you can do better than this...hey, why not use yelp to find a spot...;)
None-the-less, a fantastic meal! -

My best bud and I had both earned our professional engineering status. We needed a decent place to celebrate.
We chose well!
Though the lighting could have been slightly dimmed, the restaurant was nice and we were sat near a fire place. The service was perfect throughout.
And the food... ohh the food. We ordered wine and apps... but this is what mattered:
We shared the $99 Porterhouse steak for two!
It was served sizzling and pre-cut into pieces. Our plates were served hot and garnished with melted butter. The steak was easily the best I'd ever tasted. Hot, tender, flavourful. Oh, no ! Where'd it go?
The meal created the perfect lasting memory of our achievement.
I would definitely return need I a guaranteed good experience. -

Nothing Special
Went here for a dinner date, and was not impressed. First of all the decor is really boaring, for such a fancy/expensive place. The steak it self was good, but I've had better at lower end restaurants. Will not be returning... -

I was in Toronto back in October and took my clients there two nights in a row. That should pretty much say it all. The only problem is that I just don't get why everything costs so much. I know Ontario province has some strange law about steaks must be fully cooked, but it does not apply to imported beef. So I was able to order my ribeye in that beautifully pink medium rare. But holy "cow", my two dinner tabs came to $1,100 for 3 people the first night and 4 the next!! No wonder these Ruth's Chris are everywhere.

Best steak I ever had, period. It is worth every penny they charge. After all, this is a steakhouse. The rest of the menu is just ok though for the price. The service was just so-so for an upscale place such as this.
It's pretty noisy as the table next to us was very load. -

I've been to Ruth's downtown before but this was my first visit to Ruth's in Mississauga. We went because it was my GFs birthday and that's where she wanted to go. I have to say I don't get Ruth's value equation. I consider the Keg a benchmark in the industry. Compared to the Keg the steaks are not as well prepared (little to no seasoning), not as well cooked (pan fried in butter Vs grilled) and do not include side dishes, they are extra. And to top it off Ruth's is more money? Service was good, ambiance was a little on the cheap side, steak was tender and juicy. The mushroom had a canned taste to them. They have a decent wine list including a number by the glass and some half bottles.

If you decide to dine at this steak house, take their advice and come hungry. Not only are the steak portions massive, but it's true - they sizzle right in front of you! My steak was cooked to perfection. I haven't had a bigger or better steak since.
Sides are ordered à la carte, which also means the meals can be pricey. The waiter was nice enough to warn us that the sides come in large portions and can easily be shared. We didn't take his advice and ordered separate sides so that we could try a few of them. I highly recommend the "au gratin", but also recommend sharing.
After failing to finish my meal (only because the portions were too big for me), I politely declined dessert. The manager(?) kept asking us what we were celebrating that evening. Apparently nobody goes to Ruth's Chris just because they're hungry. She got half an answer out of me and shortly thereafter she presented us with a huge slice of cake The plate was beautifully decorated with fancy writing in chocolate. That level of service impressed me the most.
The food was excellent, service was excellent, decor was beautiful but kinda stuffy. Ruth's Chris is very pricey, but worth it if you have a reason to celebrate or have a craving for a good steak. -

This review is a little different. I went with my parents who have a strict requirement that any items we eat must be halal for religious reasons. We recently found out that Ruth's Chris will actually let you special request halal steaks for your party. The process requires you to call at least two days in advance. They will fax you an order form and charge your card $50 per steak (Their standard rate for the New York Strip). Unfortunately, there are no other cuts of beef available for this special order. It's the New York Strip or nothing at all.
Their service is excellent. Right as we walked in, they confirmed our reservation and let us know that the chef was aware of our Halal meat request. Once we were seated at our table, our waiter was extremely helpful and helped guide my parents through the menu to make sure they ordered according to their requirements (no alcohol in the food, no non-halal meat items, etc.). Throughout our dinner, he came by to make sure we were all taken care of.
The waiter reminded us that all the appetizers/sides are served in very generous portions and can easily be shared between a few people. We started with the Escargot and Calamari. The Escargot was more of an experiment on my part and my sister's since we have never tried it. It was great, but I'm not sure if I'd go for it again. I normally loathe seafood, but I must say - the calamari was the first time I had eaten any seafood item and liked it. Let me rephrase that. I loved the calamari. Battered and fried to golden perfection and coated with this sweet red pepper sauce, served with lemon on the side. Kudos to the chef for making a seafood dish that I was actually able to enjoy.
For sides, we had the sweet potato casserole and steak fries. The Sweet Potato dish was excellent, but better suited as a dessert. The Steak Fries were great, but a bit pricey considering the quantity served. Next time, we will probably go for veggies and mashed potatoes.
Only one word for the steak. Glorious. I've been to The Keg, Outback, and a few similar places in the States. I can also make a pretty decent steak at home. All of them pale in comparison to what they served to us. Braised with butter and what I think was a rosemary rub. The beef was a bit over an inch thick and probably weighed about 14 oz cooked. The quantity was way more than any of us could eat and all I can think of now is when I can go back for more.
As I mentioned already, the servings are huge and there were a lot of leftovers. My suggestion for the leftover beef - slice it up into thin strips, carmelize some onions and heat the meat up on the pan. Melt up some provolone and treat yourself to one of the best Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches you will ever eat.
Will I go back again? I've already started saving for the next special occasion. -

I have to say. Service is impeccable here!! The service staff is knowledgeable and so friendly. It costs an arm and a leg to eat here but it's worth it for a perfectly done meal. This is one of the few places that serve escargot and i love escargot!!! They do not disappoint. The escargot with artichokes is really good!!! I could eat a whole dish to myself!!! Lamb chops are of the highest quality. I had sea bass the last time and it was soooooo good!!! Their mashed potatoes are very creamy. Great wine selection. I ordered creme brûlée last time and it was okay. The berries were very fresh. The whipped butter that comes with the bread is addicting. Lol!!! I was full but wanted bread just to have the butter. I don't know why we don't just indulge more often. Hubby loves the lamb chops here because they're always done perfect and so moist and sweet. Worth the $215 bill each time!!!! YUM!!!

I've been to this location 4 times now, and it has not disappointed.
Service was impeccable, and the food phenomenal.
To really enjoy yourself here, you must not think of the bill. I'm serious. If you plan to come here, know that you will be spending some dough.
USDA prime beef lives up to its golden standards. It was like melting butter in your mouth.
The side dishes were enormous and were served al la carte. You don't see that enough in restaurants anymore. The desserts were suppose to be made in house and they must have been because the creme brule was the best I've tasted....ever!
The service was fast and elegant with just the right touch of personality. The waiter had a knowledge in wine that really made for a great experience. He was on the ball all night and did not miss a beat.
It was really nice to have that type of service. You don't get that as much now.
One of the management stopped by to see how we were doing. I found this very above and beyond because we didn't complain about anything and that is usually when a manager comes by to see you. They were all class.
I recommend to anyone who is looking for a wonderful dining experience to try out Ruth's Chris Mississauga. If you have never heard of Ruth's Chris Steak House before you are missing out and you must make your next evening out with them.
It was a real pleasure from beginning to end. -

This restaurant has truly outstanding steak. It is by far my favorite steak establishment in Ontario. The atmosphere is formal but not stuffy. The service is always impeccable, and the stakes are fabulous. The sides - dishes, although pretty basic andunimagenative (eg fries...) are also very good. Be forewarned though, the meals are truly huge. I believe that their standard is a 16oz steak for dinner meals. I would recommend getting one of their smaller steaks or splitting a larger one for a more regular sized meal. Their sides are also pretty large. With an appetizer, a steak, and a side, you'll definitely have either a second meal to take home, or dinner for two.

I love steak and this is probably in the top 3 steaks that I have ever had. It was super expensive but I was using a gift card that I had received from my sister, so did not feel too bad. The steak was cooked to perfection and was exquisite. Would not go here on a regular basis because of the $ but a great place if you are trying to impress clients or a date and you don't mind spending.

i would not give this place a 5 star just because the service was good, but not up to 5 star status, more keg like service, its ok but....the food was great the filet was cooked to order, the steakfries and the salads were good, the best part was chocolate sweet bread.....try it but its kinda pricey $100 per person if you want a full meal......
