The steaks there are very well-prepared even though they are pricey- some of the best Ive tasted in a restaurant. They pride themselves on serving a super hot steak. Good deal OP, too bad not available here in Houston for that price.
Took me a second to realize "bullet" was an actual HTML bullet in the ad, and that there wasn't some kind of strange fresh fillet ny strip steakfish dish. Thanks OP, will pass along to father-in-law who loves ruth's chris. According to him, really good food but really expensive (ala carte).
I don't have time to go thru the whole alphabet though

I love Ruth's but in all honesty, I'd rather just pay for their regular steak meal.
Here's my reasoning, the $89 package deal gives you LOTS of food, but really, you're there for their steak and not really their extra's. So if you're gonna pay that much, might as well get their steak meal(way bigger piece than the package deal) cuz that's what they're famous for.
Anyways, I learned this when I went for the Morton's $99 dinner for two deal awhile back.
Oh yeah, Ruth's Ribe-eye is to die for.

well for $89 you get 2 salads, 2 steaks, 2 sides and a desert

Just heard that they're opening one of these in my area (Greenville, SC). I had always wanted to try one when I lived in Atlanta, but man...they are pricey. Hopefully, they'll at least run something like this "deal" when they open here.

Good price considering they normally charge extra for sides.
I went there for lunch one time with the department. I ordered the Kobe burger and asked for medium rare. the burger was so under cooked I was about to puke. I can eat black and blue but that is like it was just out of the grinder and seared for 30 seconds. The manager was prompt in removing that item from our bill w/o me asking about it. Service is good, food is not...
Was originally called Chris Steak House for a number of years in New Orleans "cannot remember the exact length of time" when it was purchased after a bad fire "as I recall" by Ruth Fertel/Furtel?.
When she decided to expand she wanted to change the name from Chris Steak House but due to legal restrictions that were part of the purchase agreement "Chris" had to remain part of the name so she re-named it Ruth's Chris Steak House.
I believe it's one of the largest if not the largest high dollar steak house chain in the country with several overseas locations to boot.
As I mentioned earlier, back in the good Ole days before I was self employed I frequented several of the locations quite often on a company expense account.

I love Ruth's Chris but every time I think about getting in on these meals, I end up not. Simply put, their calamari are the best and the kobe Ribeye is to DIE for! I wish they'd have a deal for those but then again, the Kobe Ribeye is already $70. I'd be happy with calamari and the regular ribeye too.
Nice deal though OP. I'm planning on making another trip to Ruth's Chris soon.

good steaks, good beer, good friends, beats overplumped dining out experience any day, that is unless you want to put on airs!

To OP: Thanks for posting, this is a good deal compared to A La Carte.
To person who asked what's up with the name. I have no idea but I have a theory. They thought if they gave their restaurant an incredibly obnoxious name, something which doesn't really resemble a name or anything grammatical at all, people would come in and give them huge amounts of money for a steak. It seems to work quite well. Kind of like the "Think Different" campaign by Apple. In this day and age, I guess it goes like this:
1) Create expensive product 2) Advertise, using mangled, obnoxious language 3) Profit!

I believe you...it's a chain restaurant, quality somewhat varies. The one in my place is pretty decent.... I had a crappy Ruth's before tho.
problem is you still pay that premium price

?? are fwers so poor that we can't justify a reason to pay for a good dinner? It's not even that expensive compare to French cuisine or fusion cuisine.

Beware that their well-done steak is more like half-carbonized steak, and medium-well is about very well-done steak.
The one in Ft. Lauderdale is EXCELLENT. The quality is high and the service is good. I am a Capital Grille fan myself, but would not turn down a night with Ruth ever.

I noticed too. Alt text is supposed to be for search engines, text browsers, and screen readers. They're getting nothing from this. I once ran across a page built in tables with spacer images that all had alt text "Spacer Image."
Sean Hannity recommends this place, so I might have to check it out - thanks OP

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I was down in Atlantic City last weekend and they had a "economy buster" deal going on. I believe it was a Salad, Single Fillet, and Side for 35 dollars per person. It was something to that effect, similar to the Morton's deal. Might be worth checking out, it was posted on a white flier on the menu outside the restaurant in a display case.
