"I can't really add on anything that hasn't been said in the 1600+ other reviews. My group of friends normally do an annual Christmas but we delayed it all the way until February this year. We made a reservation way ahead of time and changed it when some people couldn't make it without any problems. Overall, dinner was goood. I think the girls ordered the Ci..." Read more

"I can't believe that I have not written a review on this place yet. I come here pretty often. If you want a big meaty dinner, this is the place to go. It has an old-time fancy feel and a easy to navigate menu. Great place for a date ! The salad is different, but it's neat that they make it at the table. The bread Pudding stuff that they serve leaves much t..." Read more

"The vodka martini is probably one of the best if not the best I've ever had. I rarely have a martini but this was smooth. The hot fresh bread ( two varieties ), yorkshire pudding and creamed spinach were delightful. The baked potato was fine but it's not that difficult to make. It was smothered with sour cream, bacon and probably some other toppings. A..." Read more

"I'm a carnivore from waaaaaaaaaaaaaay baaaack....and frankly after nearly 1600 reviews, what can I say about HOPR that hasn't already been written???? Even with no reservation (which I highly recommend) and people waiting literally spilling out onto Van Ness Ave, we still were seated in under an hour! Which was no problem because we wanted to visit the bar..." Read more

"First time here but have been to Lawry's a couple times in LA and heard they are kinda the same. The inside of the restaurant was a little chaotic being so packed and congested. With reservation, we still had to wait 1/2 hour at the bar before we were called. The whole sourdough bread was piping hot, has the most crunchy crust and had really sour and moist c..." Read more

"The search for a good steakhouse in SF continues. I'm a big fan of Lawry's in Chicago (which this place is an exact copy of). But the food really doesn't compare. Let's start with the good. The drinks are BIG and STRONG. I had a martini with a generous pour of gin served unpretentiously and at a good price. The Yorkshire pudding (one of the sides) is..." Read more

"I went to The House of Prime Rib with my wife. We are both well traveled and can afford and enjoy the finer things in life. I made a reservation several weeks in advance. As I entered The House of Prime Rib, I was told our table was not ready yet and to have a seat in the bar. The bar as the whole restaurant was crowded. I noticed there were two seats a..." Read more

"This placed seemed pretty busy for a Thursday night. I guess I underestimated their fame and popularity. But despite all the hype and TV exposure, House of Prime Rib did not let me down. Their service was excellent. Our server was very polite and answered all our questions before placing our order. The menu is simple as can be: Which cut of meat (fish is av..." Read more

"I was unimpressed with the HPR. I wouldn't go back here. I've been to several other steak houses, and I think this is the worst of the higher end places. I prefer Alfred's for the steak, Harris, even Ruth Cris above the HPR, I am just not a fan. Once was enough for me."

"If you're reading this, you already know what to expect. Prime rib. If you like prime rib, this is mecca. Make sure you have a reservation and an appetite. Don't overlook the salad. I don't know what the heck they put in there, but WOW. And wear something sexy. Nobody dresses up anymore :("

"House of Prime Rib got the seal of approval from Anthony Bourdain (see his San Francisco episode). I will stand by him with giving this place my recommendation. Years of fine dining around San Francisco can mislead you into thinking only the newest, most organicist, most veganist, most localist places are good. But not House of Prime Rib. Enough meat to..."

"I'm not a fan of prime rib.. I guess I like my filet mignon or any other cut better than prime rib. Who knows why! We came here on Friday and it was pretty packed. Had to wait for a 7:30 spot.. got in there around 7:15 for some wine pre-dinner and got seated right away. The booths are so cramped! We sat at the booth for four people but it was small even for..."

"The House of Prime Rib is one of my favorite places to eat in San Francisco and actually quite affordable. When you think about it, your getting a nice sized slice of steak with the option of a second free 6 oz. slice plus the Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes for about $36-$40, that is pretty damned good for a delicious steak dinner tha..."

"I went here for the first time last week with a group of 4...me and three boys! This was as old school san fran as it gets and I LOVED it. Normally when I hit up a steak house I will order the fillet so I've actually never had prime rib before and had no idea what I was missing. The only real decisions you have to make here are which cut you want, baked or m..." Read more

"I had only heard good things about this place, and it did live up to its name. We had reservations for Saturday the 27th at 730 (though we showed up 10 minutes late due to an impromptu parade in china town that I was not aware of) and weren't seated until 810 (boo!). But its cool because it was packed and what can you expect. The actual restaurant sign is..." Read more

"It doesn't beat Lawry's in LA. The Prime Rib is just as good but the sides (cream corn, spinach, etc.) definitely aren't as delicious."

"This place is my favorite restaurant. And that is saying a lot. City cut prime rib, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, yorkshire pudding, and some yummy little spicy corn bread they sometime walk around and hand out.... All of it THE BEST!! Make reservations early, dress up, enjoy an amazing green apple martini, and bask in the best steak you have ever eaten..." Read more

"This is a Cautionary tale- First, please remember this is a super fancy place that requires you were a dress shirt and dress pants, although some people wore jeans and a short sleeve. We ordered a Bloody Marry (vodka tomato juice) from the bar. I watched in horror and outrage as the bartender poured Gordon Vodka ($10 for 1.5 L Bottle) and the super cheeepe..." Read more

"LOVE IT! You can get seconds too if you've got the stomach for it!!! I really like the yorkshire pudding no prime rib meal is complete without it! You have to make sure you have reservations though because a lot of people like to come here, especially on weekends. YUM."

"First off, I am not a meat eater. If you gave me a bowl of noodles of a dish of tofu, I would be perfectly content. However, I love the prime rib and sides here! I had: -Salad with beets and their "special" dressing (tossed right next to your table) -English Cut which consisted of 3 thinly sliced pieces -Cream of spinach with pieces of bacon in it -Mash p..."

You're here for the MEAT!! So what changed? The Service!!! My friend fr..." Read more

It seemed like a fun spot to be honest. Good service, nice crowd, but. . .but!!!!!! I will always remember this moment and I don't think I can ever forget it. I hate to say this, but my f..."
