Ruth's Chris Steak House in Walnut Creek, CA
Ruth's Chris Steak House is a sack of shit compared to El Gaucho. Theirs only 3 locations (Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland), but if you ever in one of those cities don't hesitate to stop. Yes it's expensive as fuck but if you value a great steak like I do you won't give a shit.
I went to Ruth's Chris Steak House right after I graduated from Basic Training so you'd think anything would taste amazing cause all I ate for 7 weeks was chow hall food. Well I left that place feeling totally jipped (sp?). I had heard it was kind of like El Gaucho. It was but only price wise. Theirs steaks were nothing like El Gaucho.
Every time I go I get the same thing:
Starter: Half Rack of Gaucho Baby Back Ribs - $11
No soup or salad but tons of bread. I hate getting full of bread but even their bread is amazing - Free
Entree: Baseball Cut Top Sirloin & Fresh Garlic and Herb Linguine - combined $41
Then they bring you a big basket of fruit which is the shit cause it's all fresh as fuck - Free
Dessert: Bananas Foster - Have to get two servings so $18. I don't get dessert anywhere else but here. It's to fucking die for literally. It's crazy cause you'll be soooooo stuffed by the time you get it, but once you take one bite you'd rather die then be done.
Total: $70 and that's only for me, and that's not including drinks/tax/tip (worth every penny though)
After I leave it's the same story everytime though. My bank is broke, and I have to take a shit so bad I nearly pass out. I've never not finished anything there though.
Anyone else been to an El Gaucho?
