Best prime rib in the world!! – This is my favorite place for prime rib. It is absolutely delicious!!! They come around and cut the prime rib in front of you. Their salad is very unique and tasty. Great bread/butter too! I love their creamed spinach and mashed potatoes... the best part...it's all you can eat!!!

Classic Rib House – If you're looking for great Prime Rib, this is the place to go. I wouldn't recommend eating anything else but the prime rib because it's their specialty. This is a San Francisco classic and feels a bit like a trip back in time.

Timeless simplicity – This place is awesome. They do one thing and do it very well. The cocktails are huge and I always find the sevice to be very hospitable.

HOPR Rules – remember to ask for seconds if, surprisingly, you didn't have enough in round 1. english cut, city cut, house cut & king henry VIII cut for the serious beef eater...name your prime rib and HOPR delivers, along w/ a mouth watering salad w/ their secret dressing tossed tableside. granted, ridiculous waits (even w/ res. at times) BUT you eat almost immediately after ordering and it's well worth it.

Damn Good!! – Simply amazing! From the salad and potatoes, to the yorkshire pudding and, obviously, the prime rib, everything about The House of Prime Rib is fabulous.

Uncle Meat – Pardon the Frank Zappa reference, but this restaurant almost feels like family - some great and occasionally not-so-great things about it. This most recent visit was vintage; outstanding, tender prime rib cooked and seasoned perfectly. Creamed spinach very tasty but don't fool yourself into thinking it's good for you. Great martinis too! After dining there 17 years, you're bound to hit a weak night, so if you're disappointed don't be afraid to tell your waiter or better yet, Gus the maitre-d.

Just make the reservation... – ...you can thank me later. Not only is the PR at HPR outstanding, but the sides and the amazing salad and dressing just make it that much better. Great to go with a group. Good, friendly service. One of the more enjoyable dining experiences I've had in SF...

Prime time at Prime Rib! – What can I say?? I have been to House of Prime Rib with my boyfriend more times than I can count! Well-worth the money for the tender, juicy, and flavorful medium-rare prime rib!! Pre-dinner cocktails are always perfect, desserts like the Tiramisu warmed and melted in our mouths. Have always left feeling jusssssst right! Waiters/waitresses are laid back and very friendly, not so sure about the hostesses though. But hey, you're just coming for the food, right?
