- DDavidDenver / Colorado •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoRuth's Chris is the best place for steak on the planet. The first bite of USDA prime beef from a sizzling 500 degree F (260 degree C) plate sends your mouth into ecstasy and makes you forget any problems you may be having, even if only for a few moments. I highly recommend the bone-in cuts. The bone-in filet is my personal favorite. The strip is my favorite cut since it has more beef than a traditional filet, but the bone-in filet at Ruth's Chris is so delicious that I cannot pass it up. Do not be concerned about the price. It is worth every penny and much more. The bone-in strip and T-bone are excellent choices for those who desire more beef and/or more value. Couples who like their steak cooked to the same temperature should consider the porterhouse. My dining guest likes the petite filet, an excellent choice for those with smaller appetites. I prefer my steak "naked", but if you're a little more adventurous, try one of the toppings. Shrimp always pairs well with steak. Unless you aren't into fried food, the shoestring fries are a must. A beautiful departure from the traditional fries you find at fast food and fast casual locations. The asparagus is my vegetable of choice. The hollandaise is on the side, which is a relief for me, since I like my spears just the way they are. I've also had the creamed spinach, and it too is outstanding. Ruth's Chris is dear to my heart since it started in New Orleans, my native city. It will become dear to your heart once you try it, if you haven't already.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - West Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• West Des Moines•4.5
