House of Prime Rib

We do one dish exceptionally well--Prime Rib.

  • Bar & cocktail lounge
  • Ribs & salad
  • Private dining

House of Prime Rib sprawls over five rooms with comfy banquets, spacious tables, and fireplaces. There are two fresh fish dishes on the menu but we have been known for fine prime rib since 1949.

We serve only USDA Prime beef, the top two percent of all beef marketed. Although this incurs additional expense, our USDA Eastern corn-fed beef, aged for 21 days, is the most tender, juicy and flavorful beef available.

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.

My friend told me that they remodeled and have a new wine room and new bathrooms. So I went with a group of 6 and wow were we impressed! The wine room is the most beautiful thing in the city. Right in the center of the restaurant with glass walls, so you can see all their great wines they have there. The new bathrooms are great too, much more spacious and clean! The Prime Rib is awsome as always and the salad is getting better every time we go. Their dressing is the best! I always get two bottles to take home since they won't tell me the recipe. Friendly staff too! Can't wait to go back!!!

Went there on a weekday and the place was packed. WOW! Went with my girl for her birthday and they brought out a scoop of ice cream with a candle, sang, and took a picture of us. How sweet! Memories forever. Oh, by the way, the food and service was amazing, love the mashers.

Massive slices of roast beef and an old-fashioned atmosphere have made this historic restaurant a meat-lover's mecca.  See the full editorial review.
