"First of all, I LOVE House of Prime Rib. I have been going there for over 30 years. I was there on Dec 28, party of 3 and was seated in a half circle booth. My party, in a 1/4 circle table, a small aisle that separated the other table, and another party of 3 in a 1/4 circle table all in one booth. All was going well (as usual), except for t..." Read more

"THE BEST PRIME RIB! ... Had a spectacular evening dining here on my birthday! We arrived ten minutes early for the 5:30pm reservation, our car was valeted up front, and we were seated right away. The restaurant is spacious and decorated in a traditional English style interior design. Taking a step back in time as soon as you enter, the hardwood floors, firep..." Read more

"This place is a whole experience. We got here right at opening and put our name down for a table and at the bar. Ordered a drink while waiting for a seat which took around an hour. We got a lemon drop and a green apple martini. They were sweet and strong. We sat at the bar and it was great. The bartender was our server and he was attentive and helpful. The c..." Read more

"Must try place in SF. We walked in at 5:20pm and were seated about 1.5h later. There are plenty of seats around the bar where you can enjoy their generous pour of martini while you wait. If one slice of rib is not enough for you, they will give you a complimentary second slice to make sure you're full!"

"first time back in years!!!!! in general it's the same class as before but some things have changed. the Yorkshire pudding is no longer that puffy "muffin" shaped popever, crispy light on the outside and tender airy on the inside. It is now a flat moist a little doughy pancake triangle slice (see picture) the creamed spinach is not the fresh buttery co..." Read more

"Yum! Yes yes yes! We have been here 3 times with different groups and everyone has loved it. The ambience is cozy (but full), the food was tasty, and the waiter was kind. I definitely prefer the prime rib seared here, but wow everything is yum."

"***Late post**. We came here in November to celebrate mini me's birthday with her boyfriend, daughter, hubby and I. It has been a long time since I had been here last and it has not changed at all for the better. I decided to try the HOPR cut and while it was good I rather prefer a thinner cut. It was quite a busy night as usual and the service was great. O..." Read more

"FOODThe steak here was delicious! The prime rib was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It was cooked just how I wanted it. The sides were also very delicious, complementing the steak. But overall, the prime rib is the main course of my meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for others who want a high quality steak dinner. SERVICEThe service was..." Read more

"House of Prime Rib is a legendary establishment in the city. If you want to feel like you're eating a really good cut of meat, this is thee place to come to. This place requires a reservation months in advance, so you definitely need to get those reservations up and ready. The interior is just intimate and cozy, which makes it a perfect day for a date night..." Read more

"Many years since we have been here but we were happy to snag a Friday 7 pm reservation. Started at the bar and really appreciate the veteran bartender who helped us. Business like but very friendly. Once seated, we enjoyed the show. From the bread hitting the table early, to the spinning salad/high dressing pour, to the intro of the carving chef, to the t..." Read more

"Thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The prime rib was fantastic (King Henry Cut), creamed spinach was out of this world and salad different than you'd expect but very good. Cocktails were good and pricing reasonable for what all you get.
Get there early to find seating at the bar if you're not on the reservation list."

"Walked in at opening time without reservation for a party of 2 and waited an hour for a seat at the bar. Ordered house of prime rib cut with mash potatoes and creamy spinach dip as sides. While waiting for a table ordered drinks at the bar. Experience was good but seating area is very loud and service was a little chaotic. I imagine this is worse because of..." Read more

"If you like meat, then this is the place. While they do have a "Fish Option" they offer (which I'm told is good), if your not looking for the BEST Prime Rib in the Bay Area, this isn't your place.My Nephew's Birthday was tonight (between Christmas and New Year), and if you really want to eat here now, then you had best make reservations a..."

"I had this 7:30 reservation for 2 for almost 9 months! Of course you can snag a reservation for way less time, but more than likely it'll be an odd time like 9pm. I came here with my partner and I immediately informed our server I had a gluten allergy. The way he looked out for me the entire time was extraordinary. He knew exactly what I couldn't have and ap..." Read more

"When people raved about this place I had my doubts but I doubt no more. House of Prime Rib honors its namesake with some delicious prime rib! You've gotta love meat to truly appreciate this place because they do it so well. Very similar to the Lawry's family of restaurants this place is on par with the quality you would find there. Just delicious!FOO..." Read more
