Also, they're > about 2 times more, not 4 times more,. The food, not to mention the total > dining experience, is certainly 2 times better. The meat alone is about 2x what Outback charges. However, all side dishes are a la carte at Ruth's, but included at Outback. As one Epinions review described: "Shane was pleased to see Mashed Potatoes ($4.75) on the menu. ... "Vegetables: Choices here included Sauteed Mushrooms, Broiled Tomatoes, Fresh Broccoli (both steamed and au gratin), Fresh Spinach (sauteed in butter, creamed, and au gratin, and Fresh Asparagus with Hollandaise. Prices range from $4.25 to $7." This quickly adds up. At the San Francisco Ruth's Chris I recall paying about $75 for what I ordered, taxes and tip included. At the Cupertino Outback, most of my tabs have been in the $20-25 range, ditto. --Tim May
