With that said, we’ve compiled a few tips that may make your visit more enjoyable.
Life’s too short to eat anywhere else.
Making Reservations
Reservations for the Ruth’s Chris Troy main dining room are highly recommended, if not required. You can make reservations directly from our website using the “Reserve” button at the top of the page. You can also call us directly at (248) 269-8424.
If you’re celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or any other occasion, let us know when you make your reservation so we can be sure to add some special touches to make your night a memorable one. It is not an imposition for us and frankly helps us serve you better.
Reservations are not required at our bar, where seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. The full Ruth’s Chris Troy menu is available in our bar, and the service is just as excellent.
Planning Your Time
A leisurely, multi-course dinner at Ruth’s Chris Troy lasts a little less than two hours. If you have plans and need to make it quicker, just let your server know and we’ll be happy to accommodate you. You are, of course, welcome to stay as long as you like.
What To Wear
Many of our guests enjoy dressing up for their meal, donning smart casual or even semi-formal attire, but this is entirely optional. You might see guests in everything from jeans and a nice top to a cocktail dress or suit and tie. We want everyone to feel comfortable, so whether you want to dress up or keep it casual, you’ll fit right in at Ruth’s Chris.
In an effort to maintain a family-friendly environment, we kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing clothing with offensive graphics or language. Additionally, exposed undergarments, cut-off shorts, and tank tops are not considered appropriate attire.
If you’re sporting a hat or a team support jersey, we welcome you to wear them in our bar and outdoor areas. However, we do request that guests remove their hats upon entering other dining areas.
Choosing a Wine
Don’t worry if you don’t know a Cabernet from a Chardonnay! You don’t need to be a wine expert to enjoy wine at Ruth’s Chris Troy. Our goal is to make your dining experience as enjoyable and simple as possible, so all you need to bring is your sense of taste and adventure.
Our servers are experts in our wine collection and are more than happy to guide you in finding the perfect pairing for your meal. They are well-versed in understanding the nuances of our wine list and can recommend a bottle or glass based on your preferences and your chosen meal. They’re here to help you navigate the world of wine, so feel free to ask them any questions you might have.
We offer our wines both by the bottle and by the glass, allowing you the flexibility to savor and explore different flavors throughout your meal. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion with a bottle, or simply enjoying a glass with your meal, we’ve got you covered.

Ruth’s Chris Troy is the perfect place to host large parties and celebrations. We have private event rooms which can be arranged in various configurations to support events ranging from large birthday parties to training sessions.

We believe a special night out isn’t reserved only for adults. Ruth’s Chris is the perfect place to celebrate occasions for your whole family. Whether it’s a 4 oz.

Each of our steaks is seared to perfection, finished with butter and freshly chopped parsley, and served sizzling on a 500-degree plate. From filet to ribeye to a Porthouse for two, your server is there to help you decide on the ideal cut. We’ll prepare it to perfection and show you: This is how it’s done. Visit here to peruse all our different cuts of steak before your visit.
