Editorial Review for House of Prime Rib – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
With its wingback chairs, thick carpets, brass-studded leather banquettes, wood paneling and fireplaces, the House of Prime Rib looks like a British country manor. Especially popular for special occasions, the restaurant has multiple dining rooms that are almost always crowded, usually with a family-oriented clientele that makes the trek from all over the city and greater Bay Area.
The Food
The name says it all. Although the menu offers a variety of traditional meat-and-potatoes dishes, the real focus is prime rib. The warm, juicy roasts are served tableside--showmanship is big here--from large aluminum carts that are wheeled continuously through the dining room. Entrees come with mashed or baked potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, horseradish and salad. Like the meat, salads are served tableside, with the greens and dressing tossed together in a spinning chilled bowl. A seafood entree is also available, varying each night according to season.

Went to SF for the weekend and tried House of Prime Rib based on all the good reviews.... SCORE!!! The prime rib at this place left me and my wife determined to find a comparable prime rib joint in our home town (San Diego). Prime Rib was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I'm a horse-raddish fan and they had 3 and I had each one (mild, medium, and hot)... beware, the hot one is no joke... my sinuses almost exploded. The meal comes with sourdough bread and a salad with house dressing that was tasty. HERE'S THE KICKER... if you are NOT full after your prime rib, they will serve you another cut (WHAT?!...perfect gimic since the average eater will get SUPER full beforehand). In addition, the service was great - friendly and warm. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. House of Prime Rib is a guaranteed fulfilling dining experience. Enjoy.
Pros: Very good prime rib, lots of food, if your not full...get another slice on the house!
Cons: Reservations fill up early... call in way in advanced.
