Description:
Anyone who loves a huge slab of meat and old-school-style dining will feel right at home at this shrine to prime (rib). It's a fun and ever-packed affair within the men's clublike dining rooms (fireplaces included), where drinks are stiff, waiters are loose, and all the beef is roasted in rock salt, sliced tableside, and served with salad dramatically tossed tableside. This is followed by creamed spinach and either mashed potatoes or a baked potato and Yorkshire pudding, which accompany the entree. To placate the occasional non-meat eater, they offer a fish-of-the-day special.

You better like meat

I had been trying to get in here for years and finally made it. I was astonished at the size of the crowd, which a waiter assured me was the case every night. The menu is prime rib...

Here's the beef

If you like prime rib it is the place for you. Excellent food as long as you avoid anything resembling a veggie. It's all about the beef

This is a SF staple. The waiters are wonderful, entertaining and attentive. The prime rib is good, but what you go here is for the experience and the atmosphere.

The prime rib is above average, but I've had better elsewhere. Still if you haven't been then I would recommend trying this restaurant. I enjoyed their house salad. Overall...

Message from House of Prime Rib
House of Prime Rib sprawls over five rooms with comfy banquets, spacious tables, and fireplaces. There are two fresh fish dishes on the menu but we have been known for fine prime rib since 1949. We serve only the best beef available, the top two percent of all beef marketed. Although this incurs additional expense, our USDA Eastern corn-fed beef, aged for 21 days, is the most tender, juicy and flavorful beef available. The House of Prime Rib has been many times imitated but never duplicated.
