About this business
This is one of the finest steakhouses around Philadelphia. Barclay Prime's decor is more on the side of an uptown eatery with marble tables, comfortable plush sofas and walls lined with walnut bookcases. Order from the special menu, which consists of Kobe Sliders, Tuna and beef Tartar and the famous Philly Cheese steak. From the a la carte menu, take your pick from the Oysters Rockefeller, 12-ounce filet Porterhouses and the dangerously delicious sounding butter poached-lobster.

Good stuff. – My wife and I made this our 2nd stop on an ongoing steakhouse tour. We both loved it. She had the filet and I had the 20 oz ribeye. Both were absolutely delicious. The truffled potatoes were as advertised in many other reviews I have read. Excellent. We had the crab cake as an appetizer, the only thing I would say about it is that there is tons of crab, but it could have been maybe a little more moist. The banana cream desert was awesome as well. The service was great, we loved the decor. The only thing is mayb... read more
Fantastic food, ambience, and service – Shocked to actually see a negative review on here. With all of the amazing restaurants in Philly (and there are numerous), Barclay Prime stands out as one of the best. Not stuffy like your run of the mill Capital Grilles, RC's or any other overpriced steakhouse....great retro design and comfortable plush couches... I recently had a friend bring me back her leftover kobe steak, freeze it for me, then I heated it up a week later, and it was still one of the best steaks I've ever head. A ... read more
The Emperor's New Clothes – "Just because everyone else believes something is true, doesn't mean it is." I made the unfortunately decision to take a friend of mine to dinner at this Stephen Starr location. Being a resident of San Francisco, I consider my City the birth place of all of Stephen's restaurant ideas. Trust me when I say this man is not original but merely the Marco Polo of delivering hip cuisine & restaurant design to Philadelphia. There is nothing original about this restaurant except for the fact that it is uni... read more
Wonderful food ... fantastic service! – The best steakhouse in Philadelphia. Operates like a well-oiled machine, fantastic service, and the food is fantabulous! I can't say enough good things about it :)
Best restaurant in the City – Our meal was unbelievable! So much better then the other steakhouses. The butter poached lobster was the best I've ever had. The ribeye was perfect. Service best in the city. Amazing wine list. The best part...not stuffy at all! Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.
Best In Philly – This was the best dining experience I've had in Philly. Simply amazing food, professional service, wonderful. Say what you will about Steven Starr, but he has outdone himself this time. If you appreciate fine cuts of steak, do not pass this up. Make sure to bring your credit card though- it will cost you.
OH MY NY STRIP – My life partner and I were so impressed that we went back the next night. I had the shrimp cocktail and he had the chopped salad. The shrimp are enormous. The chopped salad was so refreshing. If you like aged beef you must have the NY strip steak. A piece of heaven, but don't forget to order the 20 ounce ribeye (it melts in your mouth).You have to order the sundae and sorbets. If you are into wine like we are, you must spend some time and go over the 20 page list of juice.
Hip & sexy – My wife and I dined at Barclay Prime last weekend. I still can't believe a steakhouse could be this good!!! From the moment we walked through the front door, we knew we were in for one of the best dining experiences we would ever have. Every detail was just right (service, food, atmosphere, etc.). Look out Capital and Morton's. This one beats you on all counts.
Best Dinner I've Had In A Long Time – My husband and I took my parents to Barclay Prime when we were in Philly visiting from NYC. We immediately loved the restaurant. We had a drink in the very sexy lounge before dinner. We had dinner in the dining room on one of those tables with the couches. The seating was so comfortable and the room was breathtaking, very different from the typical steakhouse. The server was friendly and impecable, didn't miss a beat. The steaks were the best we've had (better than any NY steakhouse). We... read more
