Fleming's vs. Ruth's Chris

[The Tradition]

Battle of the upscale steakhouse chains. Who ya' got when you're looking to spend too much money on an overpriced meal?

 

[Moral]

I don’t know any of these people.

 

[bhawk24bob]

Well you got the overpriced part of it correct

 

[Whatsgoingonwitgyouguys0190]

Nope

 

[timinatoria]

The Fleming’s in WDM is actually outstanding if you like ribeye.

 

[GlenHawk]

The Capital Grille

The Capital Grille

They're waiting in the wings for the semi-finals.

 

[Kozisek]

Only time I’ve ever been to either was Flemmings in WDM. Absolutely delicious. Overpriced, for sure. But absolutely delicious.

 

[Fan In Black]

yes

 

[BelemNole]

None of the above

 

[hawkeye54545]

Is this where I bitch about chains and refer some obscure steakhouse that is of equal quality to one of the chains?

 

[DFSNOLE]

Of the two, I prefer Flemings.

 

[NorHawk16]

Simons...best Filet in Des Moines

 

[dekhawk]

What about Morton’s?

 

[DFSNOLE]

What about Morton’s?

Morton's was a lot better before they were bought out in 1987 with only 9 restaurants nationally.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Like Capitol.

Don’t know if it’s large enough to be a chain, but 801 Steak at least in St. Louis is very good. Expensive. Real expensive.

 

[Twoooooooo]

Flemings happy hour is pretty solid. Years ago I installed the kitchen and freezer floors at the Ruth Chris in Biloxi on the Hard Rock’s Cadino boat, I know, CSB

 

[Hawgk]

Ruth’s Chris. I’ve had it roughly a half dozen times, usually paid for by vendor. Steak has always been excellent.

Had Flemming’s once. Also paid for by vendor. Very good steak, but not as good as Ruth’s.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

I only eat at Bern's or Peter Luger's. Why would anyone go to purveyors of dog shit like that?

Also...

Why would I go to those chain restaurant when I can make a steak at home a thousand times better than those places?

 

[beanerhawk]

Been to both a few times and really couldn't tell you much difference. Both have had really good steaks every time I've gone with good sides.

 

[Hawki97]

Close call. Ruth’s Chris wins my vote because of the au gratin potatoes.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

I've only been to Fleming's, and that was one time when we were treated by friends (we're poors). It was the best steak I ever had, though.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Flemings has a better overall seafood selection compared to Ruth’s and both are great but I prefer 801 Chophouse locally and Joe’s Stone Crab and seafood nationally in Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas if I had to pick. Capitol Grille and Morton’s are good but my preference is Joe’s due to their stone crab and key lime pie selection. Also, they have a peppermint ice cream with hot fudge for dessert during the holidays that is unbelievable.

 

[Flie]

Ruth's Chris. If you buy prime cut steaks and know how to cook them properly you can get similar quality at home.

A thousand times better, huh?

But it is in St Louis, so that takes it out of the running!



Hey Buddy!

 

[Hawk_4shur]

I've only been to each once - I liked Flemings much better.

 

[Jan Itor]

We ate at the Ruth's Chris in Lahaina on Maui. It was good, but not for the money. I remember the waitress bragging about the Midwest steaks they served. I said "Bitch, I'm from the Midwest". Okay, I didn't say that, but I was thinking it.

Hey Buddy!

You’ve got my vote locked up! Let this post serve as a proxy to allow you to use my vote for WPOTY!

Same it for me! lolz

 

[Nole-4-Life]

Is this the Ruth from Ozark?

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Maybe a million

Joe’s, Eddie V’s and Mastro’s are all better chains in my seldom wrong opinion.

I bet you love you some Subway.

 

[runkpanole]

Same it for me! lolz

You still running for WPOTY homie?

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

Fleming's Tomahawk Tuesday. Two salads, two sides, two desserts and a 35 oz. bone-in ribeye for $135. What's not to like about that? Food quality is pretty close IMO between the two choices.

 

[WorldSeriesChamps2015]

[runkpanole]

I’ve given up. Nobody can beat Colorado. I’m going for POTY in 2022.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Got friends who make better steaks, BBQ, smoked whatever. And it’s usually free or provide the meat and they’ll prepare it. They’ve ruined going to steakhouses now especially if they go, too.
