About this business
To enter this iconic San Francisco restaurant, you need a healthy appetite for meat! The interior boasts several dining rooms, a bar and cocktail lounge, and a fireplace, making it feel like an exclusive clubhouse. The owner, Joe Betz, is known for redecorating the establishment every so often. Chunks of aged and perfectly seasoned prime rib are sliced table-side and served with a variety of side dishes (the most popular being creamed spinach and potatoes). A daily fish special is also offered at House of Prime Rib for those... read more

WARNING: You Can't Take Home Your "Complimentary" Second Slice! – Overall my dining experience was a good one, but there was one major flaw: YOU CAN'T TAKE HOME YOUR (Complimentary) SECOND SLICE! They never mentioned that to us, until we asked to have it boxed up. Bad move on their part and a great example of miscommunication, which could cost them repeat diners. - - When you eat at HPR you don't have to think about much...just the cut of beef you want to eat. 3 cuts (House Cut, English Cut and the King Henry VIII Cut) earn ... read more
Best Prime Rib in the World, Maybe the Universe – I travel a great deal and everytime I go overseas there is never a good Prime Rib place. I have tried Lawry, Mortons, Smith and Wollensky, Ruths and none of them even comes close to HPR. Me and my buddy had to wait 2.5 hours last night because we didn't have reservation and it was still worth the wait. The meal comes with salad, sides(creme spinach, bread pudding, baked potatoes) which is unbelieveable good. The Prime Rib was mouth wateringly tender and so delicious that I fi... read more
tasty prime rib and good service – I went to this restaurant many times already. I think their service is great but they are always busy so everytime I went there I have to wait at least 10 minutes. The prime rib is delicious and I definity will go there again!
WOW! Great Prime Rib – Food is always great! We've been going to this San Francisco landmark for 30 years. We have yet to be disapointed! The staff is always friendly, old San Francisco...and the food is always good! All we can say, is that we have traveled around the world, and are always happy to come home to the House of Prime Rib!
The Best Prime Rib in the city! – I can't rave about this place enough. It's an old-school, classy steak house that serves great food at a reasonable price. Their menu says it all... Prime Rib. It's what they're good at and what they stick with, simplicity. Not a combination place that tries to cater to everyone (ie. seafood/steakhouse)... this place is just steak. You choose your portion and how you'd like it cooked and the rest just comes with the meal! Table-side salad prep, potatoes to order, creamed spinach, etc. Sure i... read more
Great Prime Rib!!! – If you are craving for red meat, then head towards House of Prime Rib!!! Great price for a huge chunk of meat and when you are done and still hungry, ask for seconds!!! We had to wait for our table but the bartender was really nice and attentive. This is a great place if you just want to chow down with friends, but make sure you make a reservation or else you could wait for more than 1 hour!!!
The clientele is extremely under dressed and loud for such a high-end restaurant... – When paying $32 per meal, I would expect people would consider dressing a little nicer. I was surprised the last 2 times I have been there to see shorts, tennis shoes, jeans, sweatshirts-almost a "Denny's" type atmosphere. And the noise level made it difficult to carry on a conversation. If the staff dresses appropriately, why can't the clientele follow? You could wear jeans and shorts everday?
Great food! – Absolutely loved this place. I wasn't to thrilled to go when it was first suggested (even though I love red meat!), but I am glad I ended up there for dinner! It definitely isn't a romantic or quiet type of place. It always seems to be crowded and everyone is loud. It's a fun atmosphere, and the food makes up for any shortcomings! Delicious...baked potato with all the bacon I want...need I say more! I even at the yummy creamed spinach!
Deserving of #1 – The right restaurant won again. This place just never stops. THE BEST PRIME RIB EVER! Another birthday celebration at the HoPR where we found that they have creamed corn now. Nice addition in case you're not a spinach fan. A few of us who were able to finish our huge portions got seconds. I read someone complaining about the free second slice. The way I understood it, if you can eat all of your dinner in the first place, bless you. You can have more just because they don't want anyone leaving hungry. It jus... read more
