Boycott Ruth’s Chris Steakhouses

Screw this chain. Their steaks suck anyway compared to Maestros, BLT, Fleming’s and Capital Grille.

Yeah, screw them and their ill-placed apostrophe, and their ubiquitous ads in seat-back airplane magazines! I've had enough of their PPP, LLC, and BLT anyway.

Finally a cause I can rally behind!

Those sweet potatoes though

Tell me who's responsible for those potatoes? Is it Ruth or Chris? I gotta know!!

I like their steaks, even better than Morton's or Capital grille. I'm glad they are staying in business.

How are other restaurant corporations navigating these waters? Eg., Applebees, Twin Peaks or Old Chicago, etc.

"I'm your waiter for the evening. Do you want some steak with your butter? First, let me tell you how we got our name. It's not actually..."

"Here's you bill for your party of three". Hands over bill for $275.00.

I don’t like eating at Exclusive name brand steakhouses but yeah 275 for 3 people is a pretty standard rate for a decent dinner in an expensive city.

I’ve paid that much for just myself at a handful of restaurants not including paying for my wife.

But that’s what we spend our disposable income on so it’s to each his own.

If they are franchises, that seems pretty reasonable.

I haven't been to the first two but Flemings is nothing special and Capital Grille is decent but a notch down on my list.

I hope RC sinks

Well, I am one of the small business owners that didnt get any payroll protection and it will hurt my business. My employees I laid off are getting $450/week +$600 =;$1050/week to do nothing. At least RC is going to pay people money to do something. In california, if you are an illegal immigrant or homeless they will pay you money to do nothing.

Everyone should cut and paste variations of this into the Google and Yelp reviews for their local Ruth Chris' location. Get this boycott noticed and send a message that this exploitation of small businesses and the American taxpayer cannot continue.

They will probably just get bought out and become somebody else’s Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. I vote for Papa John’s Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.

Good one. Don't get me wrong. I liked the one meal I had there. A bit too much butter on the steak, but it wasn't terrible.

Haven't eaten at these Steakhouses for 29 years.

I guess I was ahead of the times.

They have very nice cutlery and coffee cups / dishes . I stoled a set for 2 people from the empty table beside us .

The government changed the requirements for them to allow them to apply if they had less than 500 employees AT ANY ONE location - total corruption. Who has 500 empolyees at any one restaurant location. Politicians again robbing the country blind, another transfer of tax payer dollars while small businesses like mine will go out of business. I will NEVER eat at Ruth Chris steak house NOT EVER.

Potbelly did the same thing picking up 10 million.

What's wrong with their apostrophe placement? A woman named Ruth purchased a restaurant called "Chris Steakhouse". It stands to reason that it would then be called Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
