BEST PRIME RIB AND EXCELLENT SERVICE

by Stella Werley at Citysearch

I am from Texas and I can tell you that I know my beef. The House of Prime Rib serves the most tender and succulent prime rib that I have ever tasted! There are some restaurants that give you a small serving and charge you a fortune, but .the cost of the meal is reasonable in comarison to the large portions of meat and side dishes that you are served. The service is extremely friendly and efficient. Too bad that this is the only one in existence. Would love to have one in Texas. I heartily recommend this restaurant to everyone!

• Pros: Best Prime Rib and excellent service

The Prim rib melted in my mouth. I heard about house of Prim rib from a friend so I decided to go with my family from out of town for a change. They had the best service and the food was mouth watering. My family said that they have never tasted prim rib like they did at the House Of Prim Rib... They told me every time they come back to see me they want to go to the HOUSE OF PRIM RIB....

A whole lot of meat

I have been hearing about this restaurant ever since I moved to Sf a few years ago, and I finally just went for dinner. The Prime Rib is delicious and you get a number of sides with your meal that are just as good. Go hungry!

• Pros: Great sides
• Cons: Too much food

Old-school deliciousness!

by unzipped at Citysearch

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the city. Old-school charm, lush red leather banquettes, professional well-dressed waiters, a sweetheart of a maitre'd, and a great bar. The prime rib is succulent and done to a turn, just how you like it (they even offer yorkshire pudding, something you just can't find anymore)! Portions are large and the service is impeccable. We have our holiday dinner here with friends every year, and invariably everyone loves this place. It's expensive, but for special occasions you can't beat it.

Highly recommended.

• Pros: Delicious food; sumptuous atmosphere
• Cons: None--really

Excellent prime rib!

by jen163 at Citysearch

I've been here countless times and I absolutely love it. If you like prime rib, you've come to the right place! The portions are big, the meat is juicy and delicious, the salad is good (and I don't normally like salad), the creamed spinach is SO good!

BUT you must be patient with this place. It is very crowded, especially on Fridays and weekends. Get a reservation if you have more than two people in your party, otherwise you can just walk in. I've gotten reservations a few times and I noticed that you end up waiting anyway, so you might as well walk in, put your name down, and have some drinks at the bar. Shaken drinks are especially good because they give you the shaker with practically another drink's worth in it.

Here are some warnings for people without common sense (everyone who gives this place a rating of 3 stars or less) as well as a few overall comments:

1) This is the House of PRIME RIB. If you intend to order fish or chicken, DON'T come here.

2) The meals are at least $35 a person (definitely worth it to me), not including drinks (which are pricey as well) so cheapskates should steer clear.

3) The portions are quite large, yet if you finish your meat (and I always do) you get a extra thin slice for free. (The people who said the portions are small are pigs because I am always stuffed walking out of this place. And I'm not a skinny person!)

4) This place is crowded and obviously for a reason, so use your best judgment. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly every time I go, however I can imagine it's quite easy to get irritated in such a busy environment. I know that waiters and waitresses are there to serve you, but that doesn't give you the right to treat them badly. Be kind and courteous and you shall receive the same treatment.

5) This place is loud, so if you're looking for a quiet dinner, go somewhere else.

ENJOY! :)

• Pros: prime rib, drinks, service
• Cons: be prepared to wait regardless of reservation

Best prime rib in the world

by jsavell at Citysearch

This is the best prime rib I've ever had, but I love the sides even more! I've gone too many times to be wowed by the ritual, but the salad is the greatest. I vow not to eat too much bread, but the steaming sourdough is so good. And the creamed spinach is wonderful. Skip the mild and "sharp" creamy dressings offered- there are three more if you ask- hot straight, raw grated (which is sweet) and red grated pickled. Spear a piece of meat covered with the grated, spear a piece of Yorkshire pudding, dip in the au jus mixed with hot horseradish swallow and finish with a gulp of Sinskey pinot noir and you have the finest taste experience of a lifetime.

Some like tasting menus with every dish 2 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall, where you can't remember what you ate ten minutes later. I prefer repetition, with each bite reinforcing the memory of the last, making House of Prime Rib my favorite restaurant of all.

So if you want the best food in a restaurant that makes you feel special, you have found the place.

• Pros: Great prime rib and sides, ambience
• Cons: Wait even with a reservation
