"Funny how people on Yelp mentioned that HOPR is racist...it is true!!! I went there not too long ago with my buddy and his girlfriend. My buddy made reservations for 8:20 PM. To get seated on time, we've checked in to HOPR @ 7:20 PM (a whole fucking hour early), so that we will get seated appropriately. As 8:20 PM came around, we asked the hostess when..." Read more

"im sure you hear it all the time.. but i cannot refrain... "meat is murder.. tasty tasty murder" *muwahahahah I must admit, i really love their salad.. almost as much as i love their prime rib.. It's a tad pricey and there's not much to choose from, so you better be here for the meat.. The side dishes are good; creamed spinach, potatoes, and whatnot, but i..." Read more

"Definetely a restaurant you have to go to at least once. If you are a meat lover, this is the place for you. They have pretty good prime rib for an alright price.. They are always really busy so try to make reservations.. the slabs are big and the food is tasty.. not too much of a selection but you go more for the atmosphere, environment and the piece of pri..."

"This would be the perfect place to dump that vegetarian girlfriend/boyfriend of yours. I grew up in central Wyoming and we raised cows. Now most of you probably think of cows as big hairy sacks of hamburger, but really they are like really stupid dogs (and for you ladies, they can lick their eyeballs while they are young!). They have distinct personalitie..." Read more

"It is absolutely and utterly amazing to me that this place is so busy (every night) and more so that everyone is hungry for MEAT! House of Prime Rib makes one thing and they know how to make it right. Upon entering, you are immediately absorbed with the waffing aroma of the prime rib. The guys go around pushing a big metal cart and in it is heaven. Huge sla..." Read more

"For all its legacy, I expected 5 stars. Ok first, a huge star gets knocked off for the sassy-yet-borderline-rude waiter. He was trying so hard to have an acerbic wit, yet came off like a total a-hole and kind of insulted one of my friends. Plus, he didn't really know about Yorkshire pudding. Said Pink Floyd referenced it, but I told him, NO, general refe..." Read more

"This place is a classic SF favorite for a couple reasons. First off, the food is hearty and good. The salad/soup/bread/baked potato/creamed spinach combos and prime rib (wheeled out in a giant silver trough, no less) is fantastic. Don't bring your vegetarian friends here or consider ordering anything beyond the amazing cuts of meat. Second, the atmosphe..." Read more

"Basic and cut to the chase. This is not an extensive menu. They'll probably even look at our weird if you order the fish (the one item on the menu that's not prime rib). But I like that they do one thing and keep focused. The sourdough bread was great, the house salad good but swimming in dressing, the cornbread a surprise (someone with a basket just sta..."

"Do you like big slabs of tasty ass meat. Well this is the place for you!! In all seriousness, it is a lovely restaurant, totally old school and one of my all time favorite places to go. The prime rib is to die for and once you have had theirs, no one else's even comes close!! You get the prime rib, creamed spinach, your choice of potato, and of course yorksh..." Read more

"This place may be one of the best place for Beef in the US. The name says it all - this is the epitome of doing one thing very very well. IF you want an authentic meal that is mastefully done - you have just lucked out and read about the most amazing restaurant West of the hudson"

"3 stars for the fact that it's called a "S.F. institution." yucks: - CRAZY wait and no space to comfortably stand - stanky joint! didn't see too many there that night, so there must have been someone bathed in "eau de old people" - felt like a meat market up in there, yo! we were being herded all over the place. - the famous corn bread and salad were..."

I also enjoy the atmosphere and the service always seems good. The waiters are polite and efficient.

"Old-school San Francisco "classy joint", which is to say not very sophisticated by modern standards... It's not a Lexus, its a 1972 DeVille. That said, the meat here is simply world-class. I wish I could say it's better than Lawry's in LA, but frankly, the two restaurants are virtually identical to me. If you're not into beef, and massive amounts of it, s..." Read more

"Excellent food and customer service. Prime rib is excellent and price isn't too bad. Considering the service and quality of food price isn't high at all."

"you want meat. you got it. my boyfriend made our reservations and asked to be in a special room with a fireplace. we got the room...but we were right next to the fireplace (ie we couldn't see it at all), bummer. It's more cheesy than classy, but it's damn delicious. Don't go here because you want to impress your date, go here because you guys want it red, ra..." Read more

"Ever watch the movie "Goodfellas"? You know, the only movie in existence where Joe Pesci actually comes off as a believable badass. I just love that scene where he's about to swing the ol' baseball bat at that poor bastard's skull and send some brain-matter flyin'. Aaaaah, good times, good times... but I digress. What is my point? Well House o' Prime Rib..." Read more

"Meat meat meat. I love meat - especially nice and bloody. Mmmm. Ok, so maybe not hit me over the head bloody, but I do like prime rib on the rare side. I think that's how it's supposed to be? Add a ton of horseradish to HOPR's chunk o' juicy, tender beef and you've got a happy girl. However, I do have to add that I'd like to minus 1/8 of a star for a major p..." Read more

"Great meat portions! Delicious yorkshire pudding with pan-drippings! Came to the restaurant with my family and some foreign guests (total 12 of us). The salad was decent but don't waste stomach space for that! Leave it for the prime rib! Had a fantastic time with great service! As usual the restaurant was crowded, as it should be! Reservations highly r..." Read more

"I can only go here about once a year. I went with my friend, his japanese fiance and her two friends in from japan. They wanted an authentic american meal and boy did they get the full on gluttunous version. The only thing offered is prime rib and how big you want it. They start off with a huge family style salad which is generously seasoned with their house..." Read more

"Meat lovers unite! I love this place. It's a San Francisco staple. The English cut prime rib is the way to go. The only thing is, I HATE the "Bennihana show" salad. It's a nice demo by the waiter, but it's nasty! Lame ass iceberg lettuce drowned in thousand island or whatever the hell it is dressing....yuck!"

"I came here for Valentine's Day and I'm still full. We started off at the bar and got martinis. Much like Blondie's they give you your filled martini glass plus another cup with the rest of the martini, so.....you get a lot. This place is perfect for a group (we had 10) because the menu is so simple. You're pretty much getting the prime rib dinner becaus..." Read more

"the prime rib were truly tender, juicy and flavorful!. the city cut which i ordered medium rare were just the perfect cut/size for me and i enjoyed the side dishes that went with it. they gave a generous plate of the tossed salad with the their house dressing, which they pour it like there was no tomorrow, i got their mashers with gravy and their yorkshire..."

"I love this place. English cut with creamed spinach is my deal. Hate the yorkshire pudding. It's way too heavy to be authentic."

"I recommend you go here if you are very hungry. This place will feed you. While you are waiting grab yourself a small jar of trail mix while you drink your cocktail. Once you are seated they serve you bread. The salad is huge and the dressing is pretty good. If you are into thin cut meat than I suggest you get the English Cut. They scoop the condiments on t..."
