Who can resist the juicy, carved-from-the-cart prime rib at HOPR? Accented with a mound of creamed spinach , plenty of au jus, and some Yorkshire pudding on the side, it's a ticket to meat heaven. Read more

There is no more accurate way to describe House of Prime Rib than by its apropos name — it serves one thing and one thing only on its menu, and it does that roast beef very, very well . Read more

This place is so kitchy it’s epic. Come for the dirty martinis in a pint glass , stay for the meat on meat on meat. When you’re done, they’ll ask if you want moar. You’ll have to get rolled home.

Classic old school SF staple where the only thing on the menu is prime rib . You pick the size and the temp. Get a martini , sit back and travel back in time.

Eater

This classic is a trip back in time to when plating with tweezers was not yet a thing. The name says it all — it serves one thing and one thing only, and it does that roast beef very, very well . Read more

What can be said about HOPR? Only that it's the best restaurant in all the lands. Dress fancy , order the house manhattan , whatever cut you're into, and a baked potato !

PureWow

Indulging in a big slab of prime rib might as well be a rite of passage for every local. And while the decor screams ’50s throwback, it perfectly suits the old-school tableside service. Read more

The prime rib just melts in your mouth. The salad is tossed right in front of you at your table. The staff is excellent. Mashed potatoes is perfect. Great for group outtings. Valet is pretty cheap

This was my first time celebrating a friend’s birthday. Cocktails were good I had a mule my meal was delicious the cream spinach very good excellent service. Highly recommend.

Delicious cornbread they throw on your plate. Get the english cut . Yorkshire pudding is amazing-use it to sop up the meat juices .

Nicholas Boos

You don't need a reservation at the bar and can order from the full menu, get things like salad and baked potatoes a la carte, or just enjoy a cocktail and people watch .

SFGate

There's no denying that House of Prime Rib is one of the best deals in the city . A hunk of well-aged beef is priced from $29.85 to $35.65, and that includes accompaniments and a salad to start. Read more

Denise F

I'm not big fan of meat, but this place is insanely delicious. Get a reservation in advance (really) or rush to the bar when is opening!cocktails also great. We were lucky and ate in the bar . Book it.

H K

Awesome dinner ! Started with some warm bread , and followed by tableside-mixed salad , tableside-cut Prime rib (medium rare), and pudding & mashed potato as sides. All paired with some Sonoma merlot .

Josh W

Get the House cut a la carte for everything but the salad . That way you can actually finish the second cut. Also, half & half creamed spinach and corn ftw

CJ

HOPR never disappoints! I’m a big fan of their English Cut , loaded mash , half corn and half spinach with a Hennessy Side Car. You won’t be disappointed!

O L

As an English person I can say - this is the best roast dinner in town . Service is fantastic. Vibe is perfect. Food is brilliant.

Martin D. Ciao

Prime ribs . Must get regular cuts. Do yourself a favor, Don't be cute and order three thin slices. That's not gonna be worthy of your hard earn money. Their cream spinach is superb!

SFist

Put away your cell phone, order one of several cuts of awesomely tender prime rib , talk about a Bogart flick , and pretend it's 1949. Because in this restaurant , it pretty much still is. Read more

Eater

There's not one but two fireplaces at the House of Prime Rib to pair with your medium rare steak and Yorkshire pudding . Read more

WhiskyAvenger

If you’re really hungry get the King Henry VIII Cut. If you finish it you get a smaller,secondary cut. It is a meat lover’s paradise.

Tom Coates

This place is a wonderful experience and the meat is absolutely delicious, but the sides and extras are really bad. I strongly recommend the English cut . They’ll bring a second helping if you want.

Gonzalo Solis

Get the English Cut , more flavorful and there's a chance you might be able to squeeze in seconds. Also, pass on the baked potato and just get creamed spinach + creamed corn . You won't regret it.

Peter

Get a King Henry VIIII cut. Rare. Ask them to sear it on both sides. You’ll get a delicious smoky medium-rare steak . It’s a game-changer

SFist

There's virtually nothing to order here besides prime rib , though consult the "secret" menu for a few little known options and it comes with Yorkshire pudding , potatoes , spinach , and creamed corn . Read more

Laurie Dalzell

A-Mazing! Get the smallest cut, so you can enjoy all the sides. The mashed potatoes and creamed spinach are so yummy, but you can always get a baked potato and sautéed spinach . But why would you?

Ronald DL

Best value for money is to go for the a la carte option. You won't get the salad but the steak is true American size with bone

Dale Edelmann

If you like prime rib , this is the place to go. Since 1949 they've been dishing up giant slabs of beef with excellent sides dishes and service. Danny was a great server, very personable and on it.

Keri Casler

Order the prime rib ! :p seriously go for the biggest cut- it's only a few bucks more, great to have leftover steak and eggs for breakfast ! Not the place to go if you are vegan or vegetarian at all!

Lien Phan

The English Cut was cooked to perfection! It was tender and juicy! I ate my leftovers the next day and it was just as good as the day before.

Krista Vogel

The prime rib really is amazing. I couldn't finish the house cut , but it was only $2 more than the city cut, so it was worth a shot!

Kelly ????

Seconds not available with city cut. However, seconds are only a small, thin slice :( Don't fill up on bread ! Enjoy the stuffed baked potatoes and try to ask for half and half creamed spinach and corn

Chris Koebel

Left full and happy. Not as pricey as you might think considering what you get. Excellent prime rib and mash . Freshly made salad dressing and the best cream corn I have ever had.

WhiskyAvenger

Not just great cuts of prime rib but great Manhattans and Old Fashioneds as well .

Brian L

Outstanding manhattans . When it's time to decide portion, always go King cut... leftovers make a great breakfast with eggs .

Jay S

Share the King Henry cut with a friend. It's a good size meal even for two guys. Splitting fee is $7.50.

Sherry Li

Not much else has to be said about HoPR. Get the house cut , mashed potatoes , and skip the Yorkshire pudding in favor of the cornbread and sourdough . Leave room for (free) seconds!

Priscila de Alcântara

Such a good restaurant . Always a pleasure going there. We usually ask for the king cut and share it, it's more than enough for 2.

Hannah Kirsebom

The meat!! <3 This place has been around forever and I suspect nothing has changed for several decades. Cosy and a bit chaotic. Great wine selection , friendly staff .

Debra Jones-Davis

The House of Prime Rib is the best Prime Rib in SF... the cream spinach is so good... the portions are perfect... and if you didn't get enough you can ask for seconds... coming here since 1981...

Jonathan Yee

Good meat. The various cuts largely relate to the size of portion rather than the cut of meat. If you are more used to European sized portions you might want to go for the meal without the salad

Ryan Hicks

Literally one of the best meals o have ever had, and probably the best prime rib I have ever had! Also, the apple crisp was amazing; ask to have caramel added

Analise Torrez

Arrive early for a cocktail in the lounge . It's a great part of the experience.

Tim Harrison

Awesome spot for a very traditional prime rib dinner . Comes with yorkshire pudding !

J John

Legacy restaurant ; meat & potatoes heaven. Get the chocolate cake ; it’s worth every calorie. Their carpets haven’t been washed since the 70’s

Thomas Pun

Salad is life changing. You can also get a second portion of your meat for free.

herm pugay

A kind of delicious prime rib which is different from what I tried before. They give u sides too like Yorkshire pudding and creamed spinach .

Jean-Baptiste Ponsot

Excellent King cut, place full of history

Alex Wood

Go for the King’s Cut! It’s delicious. They make a mean Manhattan as well .
