Welcome

The House of Prime Rib serves well-marbled Prime Rib in the English Tradition. Our Prime Rib is carved at your table, to your specifications, from our unique stainless steel carts. We serve only the best beef available, the top 2% of all beef marketed.

Dinner

House of Prime Rib is a San Francisco Landmark. Our juicy and delicious Prime Rib is made from the highest quality corn-fed beef available.

Wines / Cocktails

The Cocktail Lounge is a great place to start your meal at the House of Prime Rib, but it is also an excellent rendezvous when meeting friends.

Atmosphere

The decor at the House of Prime Rib is traditional, in the English Style. Our dining rooms have a warm and cozy atmosphere that is enhanced by the fireplaces in the restaurant.

The Rib

Our Chef constantly seeks out the finest beef ribs, and brands them for our own refrigerators. He judges for quality, for perfection in firmness, texture, color, and for the presence of marbling in the lean red meat.

The Aging

Our timimg is precise. The method is tested, and the result is the ultimate flavor and tenderness. Meticulously prepared meat is aged for 21 days, making it especially tender, juicy and flavorful.

The Carving

The carving must be deft, and "short the time from cart to plate". Our roasts are carved to your individual order and in your view. from our specially built carts, and served piping hot.

The Roast

Producing roast of beef to satisfy discriminating tastes is truly an art. We use an old English formula of blanketing the rib in coarse rock salt. This insures that the joint comes from our ovens with all of its fragrant natural essences sealed in.

Although Bay Area cuisine is all about the latest "foodie" craze, if you're not all that much into someone messing around with your steak, then tuck a white linen napkin into your collar at the House of Prime Rib. The iconic House of Prime Rib serves potentially the highest quality corn-fed beef in the Bay Area. Their meticulously prepared meat is aged for 21 days, making it especially tender, juicy and flavorful. Diners enjoy well-marbled prime rib, carved tableside to their exact specifications, along with sides like fluffy mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The dessert cart offers a decadent array of sinful sweets, and assorted wines promise the perfect pairing.

The original House of Prime Rib opened in 1949 and has since become a San Francisco institution known unsurprisingly for its 21-day aged prime rib. Every dinner order comes with a bevy of accompaniments: tossed salad, mashed potatoes or a baked potato, and Yorkshire pudding. The English-style dining rooms have fireplaces and cozy leather banquettes, making this space as intimate as it is iconic.

The meal here did not disappoint at all, and if Prime Rib is your thing, this place is heaven. The service is top notch! The portions are huge!

I booked a reservation two months in advance for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. we were seated within a few minutes. Make sure you come here on an EMPTY stomach and do NOT fill up on the bread, that was my mistake. :)
