Best Steakhouses in Lafayette

We went to Ruth Chris on 11/22 for my Birthday, because Friends were in town from Dallas. I had already made Reservations for 11/23 to go with my Son and fiancé, I am going again. That should tell you something, the Food was Excellent.

Your prototypical neighborhood restaurant and bar that’s achieved something of a landmark status over the years (thus, attracting patrons and actual tourists from greater distances) for serving hearty meals, providing warm attentive service (by waitstaff, some of who have decades of tenure) and by offering a level of conviviality, bonhomie and ambience that makes you feel as if you’re dining with family and friends. Please forgive the evident bias in my review. I’ve been a proud “member” of The Casa (as it’s known by we locals) Family since 1971.

Love this place. Take my mom here every year for her bday. Always get the tomahawk

This was a birthday celebration and a prime rib surprise. Our server was excellent and very accomodating. The prime rib was "melt in your mouth" delicious like non other that we've had. We will be back soon!

Let’s start with the important part: the food is so good, you’ll wonder why you eat anything else. Seriously everything is amazing It was a hit noisier than I like in a steakhouse. Also, after a few glasses of wine, *I* was a little louder than I like in a steakhouse. We can call that one a wash because I was a big part of the problem. Let’s look at their tipping requirements. We had only a party of five and they included a mandatory gratuity. I don’t like this policy, and if it didn’t exist, I would tip higher than their policy. Unfortunately I’m a stubborn guy, and I don’t tip on top of a mandatory gratuity, so the servers and tipped-out staff lose. I can understand for a party of eight, but I think that a party of five should not be required to do anything.
