    This was our 3rd time dining here. The first 2 times were amazing and we raved to friends and family about their food. This last time has us questioning whether we will return again as it may not be worth the monetary risk. When you charge those prices, the food should be perfect every single time. For us, the steaks were not melt in your mouth amazing as they had been in the past and our cooks were M and MR. Our sides were unseasoned and super bland. Usually the mashed potatoes are swimming in butter and their au gratin tasted like potato water. The creme brulee was not bruleed at all. Literally, visible sugar granules on top and no crunchy bruleed top. While management rectified the situation monetarily (they inquired during the dining experience how everything was), that's not what we came for. We dine here for the amazing food and ambiance. The service has always been wonderful, but this time, our food was not. I hope they do better in the future, meanwhile, we may just stick to other steak restaurants that have better quality food and lower prices.

    My filet mignon was cooked to perfection but was over salted. My asparagus was very good. I have ate in several Ruth Chris restaurants and this was the first time in several years that the garlic mashed potatoes were sub par and did not have the traditional Ruth Chris garlic taste and were dry. I dined at Ruth Chris about 2 months ago and everything was superb. The service was slow which I blame on the Chef, not my waiter.

    Thanks for the feedback, James. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your filet mignon and asparagus, but we're sorry to hear that the garlic mashed potatoes didn't meet your expectations this time around. We have passed your comments to our culinary team. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon. Ruth's Chris Steak House - West Des Moines Management Team

    This was our first visit to Ruth’s Chris and we most certainly will return! Depending on your budget, this may not be an every night outing, but it’s definitely worth every penny! My husband had the Ribeye and I had the crusted Sea Bass. I have never tasted anything so delicious EVER!

    Went here for my 17th birthday, service is amazing and is a beautiful place. Steak was delicious, sides are a huge serving so i recommend deciding on a table shared side. My party of 3 could’ve easily shared one of any side. appetizer lobster voodoo was extremely different than your usual lobster, large serving. Best strawberry lemonade ever let me tell you! My chocolate cake came with a lit candle and was wished a happy birthday many times throughout the restaurant. Crème brûlée was the best me and my mom have ever had! overall, great place for a special occasion but probably just for an occasion.

    Excellent food. I had the bone in New York strip and my wife had the pork chop. She said it was the best she has ever had. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was great for a quiet evening together. It might be at the higher price level but you get your money worth.

    I have eaten here multiple times and each time the food, service, environment and cocktails are excellent. This is a top notch steak dining experience. You should dress up to eat here. The only drawback is that the prices are very high even for a high end steakhouse in the area, thus why I only eat here for special occasions. $70 to $80 for a steak not including your sides or a drink just feels a bit excessive and wasteful when you can go to another good restaurant in the area and pay half that and get twice as much. This is intended to be honest feedback for those who haven't dined here. Just depends on what you're looking for.
