The beef, with the mashed, corn, and spinach, was my idea of a perfect meal. Best $100 plus I could ever spend.

[@cuevas04]

My dad worked there from 1969 - 1976 and I have found memories of this place. Now Lawry's is located east side of La Cienega Blvd. Back then it was on the West side.

[@woodson21]

I will never be able to think of Lawry’s again ever without thinking of, “you want to get loud with me while wearing that?!” Still the greatest moment ever on the internet.

An amazing restaurant with an exquisite ambiance delicately serving the best melt in your mouth cuts of Prime rib to a dude wearing a $4 Wal-Mart t-shirt. The piece of meat almost fell out of his mouth.

[@retrocny5625]

My last meal would absolutely be prime rib, no question. I only get to have it a couple times a year, always on Christmas at least. I've only ever went out to eat prime rib a few times, but most times I end up preferring the way I cook it myself. Prime rib is one of those things that in reality is really easy to cook, but also really easy to mess up at the same time.

[@_EatShit_]

Exact same that's our Christmas meal. Of course it's not really prime we usually get a select rib roast because they are on sale Christmas week

[@rogeeeferrari]

Jim Brady for me thanks. My parents would treat us to dinner after every UCLA home football game, awesome...

[@truthfuljones4557]

It looks spectacular.

[@chipblock2854]

I worked at a prime rib restaurant in Salem, Oregon in 1976 and 1977. It was simply called the Prime Rib. There was a sister restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The one in Salem had a great view of the Willamette River and also used the stainless steel cart. The meat and Au Jus was kept warm by charcoal. All requested sides were served from the kitchen. When I started there, each rib roast was encased in rock salt and slow roasted all day at a low temperature. For whatever reason they changed the roasting method to no salt pack and higher temperatures. In my opinion the prime rib was never as good. We did make Yorkshire Pudding using rendered beef fat and the Au Jus was made from the pan drippings and juices. I ate a slice or two of prime rib every night and never got tired if it. On Sundays they offered a four course "Farmer's Breakfast". It was way too much for most people to eat. Back then there were a lot fewer big eaters. The courses were: 1. Fresh fruit with toast 2. Pancakes 3. Eggs, potatoes, along with bacon, ham, and sausage 4. Apple fritter Such a great memory.

[@bulldaggerwatkins190]

The Prime Rib was awesome... I still think that salad dressing was the best thing ever.

[@jacobbrock7192]

I live in lincoln city oregon about 50 miles west of salem but I'm sure you know that if you lived in salem

[@tomany65]

I ate there once . The food stinks.

[@patsonlim528]

where can i find prime rib like this here i can only have prime rib steak style i want buffet style with jus

[@DeanRendar]

That REDness achieved at Lawry's is never duplicated by my family, always turns out grey with no juices and the outside crispy. And when I told them its because Lawry's sets it at 200 for 24 hours, my mom who payed 45+ for the cut at costco just say, i have to sleep now, 500 for 10 mins na lang. I hate how she gives up after already investing too much and is ok with the normal people way, this red yet cooked technique is why they pay benjamins to eat just once at a carving buffet line essentially.

[@tomsmith8681]

No the slow roast method works. Most supermarket cuts are about 5-8lbs. Season the roast generously the night before. Bring out the roast in the morning. Start at 10am. Set the oven to broil and blast it for about 20 minutes until brown and then lower the oven temperature to 225 and let it sit for 45 min per pound....for example, a 6-pound roast will cook in 5 hours.

What is that sauce that they pour?

[@Ermac97]

You gotta be more specific because there are several sauces in the video. Do you mean the salad dressing? If so, that's probably a mixture of some kind of balsamic vinaigrette. The stuff on the mashed potatoes is gravy and the white stuf fon the meat is probably horseradish.

[@carlocarino9736]

@@Ermac97 thank you. I mean the black sauce that they pour over the meat.

Carlo Carino it’s called ajus

[@tomsmith8681]

Au Jus - roast beef drippings to make a sauce. Au jus means "with juice" in French. Roast beef Au jus means roast beef with juice....but the juice is the sauce that they make with the drippings.

SF's House of Prime Rib is better.

[@jasonhull2163]

Lawrys franchise steak house’s are a top tier chain and serve the finest USDA dry aged prime beef, with certified culinary trained chefs. Ruth Chris is an expensive horrible steak house that serves wet aged USDA prime beef and they train their cooks in house. They are the most horrible and expensive steak house chain out that sales prime beef at dry aged prices. You will easily spend 100 dollars a plate at Ruth Chris. I’d pay that at lawry’s because they actually give a damn and are on par with top local owned mom and pop fine steak houses. They train you to their methods but you come in a trained chef already, unlike Ruth Chris garbage.

[@johnfd0210]

Thanks for the information. I have always wanted to try Ruth Chris, but will pass (now). I have eaten at Lawrys (California and Chicago) so will stick with them. Consistently excellent food and service.
