January 1, Feud Between Steakhouse Chains Escalates Over Guest Attire Policies
Wyatt’s Take
- Ruth’s Chris requires business casual dress in its main dining room.
- Chili’s replied that its only dress code is that guests must be dressed.
- The debate has sparked backlash from diners who dislike strict attire rules.
The controversy started when Ruth’s Chris doubled down on its policy that bans gym wear, tank tops, and hats in the dining room.
Customers who don’t follow the rules are told they have to eat at the bar or leave the restaurant entirely.
The following attire is not permitted in our dining rooms: gym wear, pool attire, tank tops, clothing with offensive graphics or language, revealing clothing or exposed undergarments.
The policy also explicitly tells men wearing baseball caps to remove them or stay out of the main room.
The only dress code at Chili’s is that you have to be dressed.
While some people argue that fine dining needs a certain look, many regular Americans are tired of the elitist attitude.
I’d rather go to Chili’s.
The steakhouse is owned by Darden Restaurants, the same corporate giant that runs Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse.
Wyatt Matters
Middle America values common sense and hard work over fancy titles and strict dress codes. Folks shouldn’t be treated like they don’t belong just because they want a decent meal without the attitude.

Ruth Chris’ policy sounds reasonable to me. Blue jeans and decent t-shirt would be fine and any man worth his salt knows he should take his hat off in a dining area.
Chili’s policy makes sense for them because the food they serve is not really worth getting dressed for.

I’m not leaving a thousand dollar hat with some nose picking monkey at a hat check.

Quite frankly I’m tired of people out in public in their pajamas or with their pants hanging low or women with their butts hanging out of their shorts. Nice to know that there are still places you can go that have standards. Also, not a single time in my life have I ever made a decision between Chili’s and Ruth Chris. If I’m considering RC, Chili’s ain’t in the picture

Strict policy? How is Ruth Chris’ policy strict?
If they asked for dresses, ties and jackets that could
be considered strict. Tank tops, gym shorts, sweats
are not appropriate for a fine dining establishment.
Go to Chili’s then, enjoy the spandex, hairy armpits,
and all the cellulite you can possibly want.

It should be a common decency thing to keep your personal body parts covered. Its really gross to try to enjoy a really nice dinner when the next table has armpit hair hanging out of the wife beater or someone’s plumber crack is visible. As well, I don’t enjoy seeing leggings so tight you can see the hair on the mole on the inside of a camel toe. The pub is a much better fit and one might even score a date…

Standard middle ground approach – -RC isn’t demanding jacket and tie… and as always the “slob factor” goes too far in tank tops and Pajamas. The policy is not strict
