"My wife and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary on the 11th of June. We chose the three course dinner, and a great bottle of wine, recommended by our server. Everything met our expectations. We thought the service was prompt, but not intrusive We will be back."

"We dine at Ruth's Chris often. The steaks are "predictable" in the good sense of the word. The wine list is outstanding and the service is always good. The Knoxville location has a nice river view. My wife had a ribeye and I had a filet, plus sides. We started with cocktails and also had a very nice limited red wine. Service is always attentive and friendly. If you want a steak in downtown Knoxville, this is the place to get it."

"We are regulars at Ruth's and have been to 15 or 16 around the country and the family agrees this is Top 3 for sure. We never get a bad meal and you always know you are getting top notch at Ruth's bit this one was even a cut above. We live in Michigan and the one in (Troy) has disappointed slightly lately so we were thrilled to return to the high quality we love. The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. When traveling for Easter we were very very pleased with our experience at the Knoxville location.
Treat yourself and your family, you will be happy you did!"

"We visit this Ruth's Chris Steakhouse a couple times a year, usually for a special occasion. As in the past the service was outstanding and the food perfectly prepared. We also received special recognition of our Anniversary celebration with a wonderful table, terrific scenic view, table decorations, a succulent complimentary dessert, and staff that were very attentive but not intrusive. Ruth's Chris is obviously on the high side of price, but worth every penny for special experience they provide. We'll be back."

"We live nearby, so visit here regularly. Ruth's Chris does what they do very well: steaks and sides. The wine list is comprehensive as well. We both had steaks with potato sides and dessert, plus a bottle of red wine and cocktails. The service was very attentive and pleasant. Food quality is predictable in the good sense of the word: Steaks cooked perfectly and plated well, wine quality is good, sides are nicely done. It's hard to beat a Ruth's Chris steak for quality. Prices are what you would expect for this quality of steak. The Knoxville space is nice and open and has a view of the river area from most tables and booths."
