"get the english cut!! was definitely too much meat to have at 9:30 pm. each order comes with two sides, salad, and bread
the atmosphere is great, the waiters toss the salad right next to you
the creamed corn side + creamy spinach were amazing"

"First time at House of Prime Rib and I can't wait to come back. I've heard of this spot for a while now and it took us 4 months to get a reservation for a Sunday night. There's street parking around the restaurant and I'd recommend arriving 10-15 min early to check in. FOOD: You can pick which cut of prime rib you like. Our table mostly got the..." Read more

"Prime Perfection at House of Prime RibHouse of Prime Rib is a carnivore's paradise. The ambiance exudes classic elegance, setting the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The prime rib is a showstopper - perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and bursting with flavor. From the moment you step in, the attention to detail and impeccable servi..." Read more

"My friends and I, a group of 10, ended up getting lucky with a last minute reservation on a Sunday night at 5 pm! We went in December so the entire restaurant had holiday decorations which was perfect for the time of year. As a first timer at this restaurant, I wasn't sure how it all worked, but the waiter was extremely helpful. He explained the menu and rec..." Read more

"We had a large party, so it was pretty hard to get reservations, but my sister-in-law was able to get a big reservation for a surprise birthday party. Their family likes to eat at the house of prime rib often so they've been coming here for decades.I am someone who cannot eat large amounts of meat in one sitting, and I like my salads, plain and my ve..."

"A classic of SF -- you have to come to House of Prime Rib at least once to experience the food and coziness of the restaurant. As others have highlighted, reservations are highly recommended for your visit. Reservations always go quickly, either late dinner times being what's leftover. I've also noticed it's easier to get reservations for larger part..." Read more

"Classic place. Tough to get a reservation in less than 6mos. So -1/2 star. We waited two hours as walk in on a Friday night. Excellent servíce. Staff was very friendly. Bar service during wait was not so attentive, so -1/2 star. We ordered House of Prime Rib cut and King Arthur cut(comes with the bone). Horseradish super hot. It will c..." Read more

"It might not be meat on a silver platter, but it is prime rib carved to order from a silver meat cart. Yes you read that right, a meat cart, a beautiful sight for a foodie and carnivores alike. As a San Francisco icon that's been around much longer than I've been alive, I've heard many great things about HOPR. Notably that the meat is amazing and tha..." Read more

"Surprisingly got a reservation for 7:30pm same day (on Saturday) for 7 people!
When you're done you can ask for more prime rib, they'll give you an additional thin sliver of meat. I believe you can ask for additional sides as well!"

"The House of Prime Rib is always a hit. Reservations for smaller parties are pretty hard to get so you definitely have to set an alert on your Open Table app. I always get the King Henry (medium) with mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and creamed corn. On my recent visit I asked for my prime rib to be seared and it came out pretty good. It visually lo..." Read more

"Came back again for my birthday dinner since I'd been craving HOPR for a while. However, this time, I didn't have a reservation. (It seems impossible to get for 2 people these days!) Arrived on a Wednesday night at 6PM, and added myself to both the table and bar waitlists, and got seated around 7:30PM at a table. The bar seating cleared around the same time,..." Read more

I walked inside and man was it packed and bustling for a Wednesday at 8pm. I checked in with the host who offered us to wait and have a cocktail at the bar. We stood around the bar area waiting for someone to leave. Once..." Read more

"Make sure you get a reservation online, plan months ahead even. My friends and I were able to get reservations months ahead, our favorite is the English cut since they are thin slices of prime rib and they offer different kinds of sides from cream corn to cream spinach and then mashed potato or baked potato! Ambiance is loud, definitely a good time here!..." Read more

"You'll definitely need to make a reservation. Otherwise, you can try to get the bar seating if it's a group of 2-3 people. My friends and I had a reservation on a weekday, and the restaurant was packed.Their menu is very simple. You pick your choice of the cut of the meat. Regardless of the cut of the meat, you'll get a bunch of accompaniments - yorkshir..." Read more

"We made reservations a year in advance for an anniversary dinner and it made the 1+ hour trek to try the famous HOPR. Overall, I thought the food was hit or miss, and it was extremely difficult to hear our server because the restaurant was so loud. My favorite of the night was the baked potato. It came piping hot loaded with bacon, sour cream..." Read more

"Not having been back since 2011, it brought back fond memories of having eaten here. After months of waiting, we were finally able to eat at HPR. Having arrived early, we still had to wait a good 10 min. for our 8pm reservation. There is no waiting area unless you buy a drink & get to sit at the bar/side tables. Despite the wait, it was well worth it..." Read more

"Nothing that hasn't been said before, but it's hard to mark it perfect which is typical for an SF institution. Extremely hard to get a dinner time reservation, you either have to eat in the afternoon or at 9 PM, which is wild. People on here don't seem to mention that the highly coveted secret of "a second piece" is a much smaller slice. It does m..." Read more

"*Parking: it's the city, parking is a pain in the ass. You can circle around the vicinity for street parking but we didn't want to bother with it, so we just valet and paid $17 (tip is additional) for valet to go find parking around the vicinity on our behalf. It's steep and you're definitely paying a premium for them to park your car on the streets. However..." Read more
