Ruths Chris Steakhouse

Its been open for a little while now, has anyone tried it yet? I love premium US steaks...yummm.

[bradwatson]

Yeah it's a good spot. My buddy is a bartender/server there. It's not bad for a mid-high price meal. Like you said, I like premium US steaks.

I have eaten at quite a few in the states with work and I love them. Having one in Calgary is great, all of our clients like the idea of having a familiar place they can go too.

I would recommend trying it. It is no Vintage though.

Does the beef actually come from the US or is it locally sourced?

[benyl]

Two co-workers have gone on different occasions. Neither was impressed. The food was bad for both of them.

I work right beside there and the word in the office is that the beef comes from the US, I could be wrong though.

Went to try it out this past weekend and it's OK. Found it to be expensive considering you're paying $50 for a steak by itself (no side dishes). The steak itself was good, just not great. Definitely had better.

Vintage is where you want to go for steaks. Hands down the best steak joint in Calgary IMO.

They have one in Calgary now? I went to the one in Toronto when I was there for work last week. That place does have amazing steaks that's for DAMN sure.

I don't understand why people go out for steak. Steak is one of the easiest meats to prepare and cook. You can go out and buy an entire AAA striploin for anywhere between 80-100$ cut your own steaks as thick or as thin as you like. Then cook it exactly how you like it.

Am I reading this right? People are happy they use U.S. beef? Since when does the US have better quality beef than Canada? I must have missed a memo.

I am still amazed by the people who don't know how to properly BBQ a steak.

Most people don't realize that you have to have your BBQ as hot as you can get (over 500F) and the steak at room temperature before starting. Steaks are best cooked fast.

Chris's Ruth menu claims the steaks are cooked at 1800F. I was in the Edmonton location last night, great food.

One of the better places for lobster and steak in my opinion. Very pricey though, as with wine it's not hard to hit $500 + tip

US Premium beef is way better than Canadian beef. The only beef I know of which is better is from Argentina. The best steak I've ever ate was at Mortons steakhouse in the US, and Ive had steaks at places such as Vintage, Caesars and all the other top steakhouses here in town.

Food is good, but i wouldn't say great considering the price. There are better options IMO.

Well, I'm willing to give it a shot next time I'm in town. Thanks for the tip!

Any why would that be.. Anywheres else's beef is always better then local. ha.. everywheres else they sell Alberta beef as the best and in alberta it has to be from somewheres else..

[JRSC00LUDE]

Likely because most of the "high-end" steakhouses that proclaim Alberta Beef actually serve cheap-ass new zealand beef etc. that was just cut here so it could be labelled as "Alberta Beef".

Happens at way more places than you think, friend from Canmore used to be in the beef selling business and was in most of the good restaurants coolers. In fact, I hear he's back in it (meat sales, not the cooler haha) now but we've lost touch over the last few years.

With how many people? When I was in TO the meal was paid for by the company and there were about 20 of us. Didn't get to see the bill.
