About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 1949, this legendary destination is the king of San Francisco steakhouses. From luxurious carved-to-order prime rib rolled out on carts to chefs spinning salads to extra-large martinis with sidecars, every meal in the restaurant’s old-school dining room decked with ruby-hued booths is rollicking and unforgettable.

    The five of us really enjoyed House of Prime Rib on Thursday night. Starting off with the classic Martini in a "pitcher". Love everything about this place. They nail it perfectly EVERY TIME

    Service was great! We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation time despite a huge group of people waiting. Our server was very attentive and quick with our drinks and food order. Our prime rib was delicious; even though it was a bit more on done side than medium rare ordered. Our kids loved the experience.

    Relaxed cocktails in bar before dinner. Then seared in a great corner booth. Well paced timing and service. Food could be served hotter, esp meat. Excellent portion, very tasty sides, esp corn bread. Very noisy in back dining room. Excellent wrap up for taking food home. Enjoyable evening.

    We arrived right at 5:00pm, with valet parking and seated by 5:12. Service was outstanding as always. We had drinks and then continued with our dinner. Completed dinner with dessert. Our server was always on hand to make sure everything was going well. Another delightful evening for our family with a great dinner. Trisha was a 10.
