House of Prime Rib

THE place for meat-eaters

by crimsonka at Citysearch

Vegitarians beware: this is a place for meat lover. Choose the cut and portions you want for prime rib that melts in your mouth. All the additional courses are superb, crisp salad with the secret spices, baked or mashed potatoes with all the fixings, yorkshire pudding to soak up the juices, and great desserts. For those who like spicey, get the horseradish from the kitchen to flare up those nostrels. Nice wine selection as well. Go early to sip on great cocktails. Nothing fancy here, just old school charm that worked 50 years ago, and works still today.

• Pros: Valet parking
• Cons: can get noisy

Prime Rib or Prime Rib?

by scroddum at Citysearch

Every time it's the same. Bread, salad, prime rib, potato, creamed spinach, yorkshire pudding. 50-some years of perfecting makes for great food and service. Old school? Yes. Great food? Heck yes. And reasonably priced!

• Pros: food
• Cons: need advanced ressies

Don't eat anything before going there

Prepare your stomach for lots and lots of food. Only problem is that not all of it is that great. I liked the prime rib, but the salad drowns in the huge bath of dressing and the spinach and mashed potatoes are pretty bland, yet very salty.

Service was excellent. Baked potato was very good, and the spicy horseradish will keep your sinuses clear for the rest of the night.

I suggest getting the a la carte order of prime rib, which includes everything in the House Cut except the salad. Second helpings are free so take advantage of it.

• Pros: excellent service, tender prime rib, lots of food
• Cons: salad over dressed
