I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant due to its history. You did a great job capturing the dining experience, brava Jenny!👏🏼

[@Lilclay0047]

Keep up this style of videography. Lovely videos. Feels like i'm there in person and i can watch this stuff for hours on end

[@hellofish777]

Oh man that looks so super duper buttery, fatty, mouth watering beef! I cannot afford these type of splurges but watching some one else eating it is almost as satisfying. Thank you for the 5 minutes of drooling!

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Mickcotton]

Just make a Prime Rib at home for 1/2 the price It’s Easy 😊

[@JohnCortez-u1d]

i've eaten there a number of times and watching this video has given me a hankering to visit soon!

[@rickchilders4256]

Was there two weeks ago (3-2-24) and the food was awesome. Next time I’m in San Francisco to visit my daughter I plan to do it again. Just be aware of the spicy horseradish sauce, it will literally take your breath away for a long while and I love hot spicy stuff but this stuff is lethal. Just a side note; San Francisco is just as beautiful as ever so don’t pay attention to the stories of homeless everywhere and poop on the sidewalks, go see for yourself, San Francisco is no different from any other big city as far as homeless people go. All big cities have similar issues with traffic and homelessness.

[@LordGreystoke]

How long in advance did you book your reservation? It takes months to score one!

[@al821]

I’ve been living in the Bay Area for more than 20 years and have only ate there less than handful of times. It’s so hard to get a reservation. Place is constantly booked. But the food and service is amazing. Probably better than some of the high end steakhouses I’ve eaten at. It’s reasonably priced and consistent. If you haven’t eaten here, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

[@sinbatsiraseranant1241]

The price is amazing. The largest cut is just $62. In Washington, D.C., the Prime Rib Restaurant's regular cut of 14oz is over $70. Their full cut is well over $100 a la carte.

[@ArekSuroboyo1]

I live in SF now, But when I used to live in DC I went to Medium Rare in Cleveland Park for a prix fix of bread, salad and two servings of steak with fries for $20.00 bro! (now is $30.00) but worth every penny.

[@sinbatsiraseranant1241]

@babikecap That's for flank/hanger steak. It's a less expensive cut of beef. That's why Medium Rare can charge that price. It's not the rib part of the beef. The Prime Rib also serves prime beef. But not worth the price as it no longer tastes good. I've dined there since the 90s.

[@ArekSuroboyo1]

@@sinbatsiraseranant1241 I know, I've dined at both quite often. But taking everything into consideration, Medium Rare is a best bang for your buck restaurant.

[@HeronPoint2021]

I can't buy a thick cut porterhouse steak in Canada without paying that. And a prime rib roast (a REAL prime rib) probably 150 raw and you have to go to the German butcher and order it. And to think I'm surrounded by RANCHES with lots of European cattle!!!

[@hyochan]

I am watching this waiting for my home delivery to arrive. I've added this restaurant to my food bucket list now!

[@anthonythorp3307]

The best place to eat Prime Rib in town, I have been there twice this week and was Christmas eve when I went and now eating the salad (take home) watching this video ...lol I may go again tonite.

[@jeff-crankyxer1931]

Wow! If I ever visit San Francisco, House of Prime Rib would definitely be a place I want to eat! I just recently got back from Las Vegas and ate at Lawry's Prime Rib, They have a similar presentation and tableside service with the spinning bowl salad, and the prime rib setup. Prime rib is so good!

[@tonyrios5112]

No they don't. This place has a similar "setup" to Lawrys. The invented that cart and the spinning salad AND valet parking AND the doggie bag AND they've been doing it for about 20 years longer

Gawd I love those crusty sourdough boules with the butter...yum

[@TheRange7]

Holy Moly, everything looks so amazing. I love me some prime rib with the classic sides. That said, I could easily make a meal outta that salad and the bread. Cheers

Everything is delicious!

[@TexAgsArmyVet]

Looks delicious. Nice and red/pink. Yum

[@Kingfisher1215]

I just wish I liked prime rib more. I don’t dislike it, I just like other cuts more. It looks like a great dining experience and that salad looked amazing. I’m sur3 the prime rib was great.

[@Selna-v6n]

You can get an organic grass fed beef on sale for $4.99/lb. Just add salt and pepper and grill for 3 mins. each side.

[@NoBeardPapa]

Thats a very nice restsurant The food looks good

[@ChrisLimitless]

It's clear that the people commenting about the beef negatively don't know what the fuck they are talking about. pure luxury in that prime rib.

[@gregwilliams386]

Do they still serve Yorkshire pudding?

[@davidbrothers3788]

Bread and i mean any bread is always so much better with a big slab of butter

[@jee2001]

Looks dang good

[@rockslime]

I can taste everything just by watching and oh man it’s so delicious ❤❤❤❤

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@williamdonahue6617]

The best cut in my experience is the English Cut-- several thinly slices pieces swimming in au jus, not a single slab. The salad is worth a special trip on its own.

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Agree! Love the salad!

[@EphraimLife]

Very cool. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@clubmogambo3214]

Back in the day when I actually use to visit San Franshitsco (as in back in the 90's), my friends and I dined there. It was a good experience food wise, about on par with eating at Lawry's. But what stood out is I mentioned to our server that I had a dog and would like to bring home a couple of extra bones. Next thing I know is he brings out a friggin box full of them - no extra charge. Will always remember that nice gesture. Too bad the city itself sucks, that restaurant deserve better.

[@kmbarnett1200]

And the bones, have hella meat on them!

[@thebronzegeneral]

My favorite prime rib! 😊

[@cesarmoreno5996]

does any one know ? Is a 16 oz piece of MEDIUM WELL prime rib available ???? Even if it is 100 or 150 dollars..... is this kind of CUT available ????? Or is the 12 oz KING CUT the largest ???? THANK YOU

[@menochivo9507]

Ok, Iived in the south bay for a couple years now, and i want to take my dad there now, how far out are reservations? do i just call?

[@thiagofelipee]

Amazing place, but the meat seems be cold, isn't it?

[@jennyfoodtravels]

I like mine 'rare' so it's only slightly warm, but the prime rib always comes in the perfect temperature as requested

could it possibly be any louder? i mean its like a metallica concert in there.

you made my point. hard surfaces need things like tapestry to trap the noise. I advised a remodel of a coffee shop and they went anyway with all hard surfaces. my ears are bleeding in there.

Prime rib pairs well with wasabi

It's a ribeye. Way better than ny strip n filet(tbone)

[@Luckingsworth]

​@@SB-tl7zzIll be honest, I used to think that way too but over time Ribeye (prime rib) has just lost its appeal. Its too fatty to get properly rare. The fat is either not truly rendered, or the meat isnt properly cooked. I have had plenty of dissapointing ribeyes. Meanwhile Ney York Strip as humble as it is has neber dissapointed me.
