We had a dinner meeting there last night. Food was excellent. The wait staff was overall good but one particular waiter seemed short and abrupt with all of us. His attitude did not escape our attention. And to cap off our evening, he gave us our perfect cheesecakes to take home looking mangled. Great evening overall except for disgruntled waiter. Hence the 3 stars read more

KC Prime - Mangled Cheesecake- would you eat this? Our entire party got these for take home - Steakhouses Near Me - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

Excellent Sunday brunch! Our server, Kristen, was perfect. She was attentive and sweet. The food was all very good and there was so much to choose from. If you couldn't find something that tickled your fancy, then you're just too picky! And all at a reasonable price. :-) read more

Steaks cooked to perfection, huge baked potato, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I'm not a huge fan of spring mix in the house salad and the beer selection was a little limited. Our waiter Mike was attentive, but not overbearing and his suggestion of the bone in filet, which I'd never heard of, was a hit with my wife. My NY strip was heaven on a plate. Will definitely be back... hopefully soon!!! read more

Excellent food. My filet was melt in your mouth tender. Perfectly cooked to medium. Portion sizes are quite large but it's hard not to try everything. Great wine selection to accompany a great cut of meat Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The ambience is nice but a little dated and a bit dark. I came with a couple of friends just to try it... but I will definitely come back for a nice romantic dinner with someone special. read more

I went here for dinner on a Sunday evening. There were not a lot of patrons inside when we arrived at 6pm; however it did fill up quickly. The hostess looked annoyed when we walked in and we did not get a pleasant or friendly greeting. Our server, Crystal, on the other hand was extremely attentive and very pleasant. She made up for the sour-faced hostess. The salads which came with our entrees were disappointingly small. Only a few sparse greens and a couple of tiny pieces of tomato. The house dressing was very good. The entrees were served quickly and were hot. My dinner companion sent her steak back because it was quite rare and she had ordered it medium. It was fine when it came back. I ordered the Surf and Turf skewers and it was perfectly cooked and quite tasty. The entrees are pricey, but you get your money's worth because the portions are quite large. We were too full to order the desserts, but we did order coffee, which was quite disappointing. It was lukewarm and bitter. Overall, I'd have to say that I would probably give this place another try. It was decent; not excellent, just decent. read more

Let me start off by saying the food is excellent. Best filet mignon around and it beats Ruth's Chris by a mile. The ambiance is nice and the wine selection is excellent. The reason for my review though is because of the service we received. MOE, our waiter was wonderful. He made us feel like we were the only two people in the whole place!! He seemed young, so we were a little apprehensive at first, but by his second sentence, I was wowed. So respectful, not overbearing and thoroughly explained and answered our questions. We will be back not only for the food but for the excellent service!!! read more

Our favorite steakhouse. The menu doesn't vary much, but we've never ever had a bad meal. Can't believe another review that said the service was "amateurish." While they seem to have a lot of staff turnover, every server we've ever had has been nothing but friendly and knowledgeable. I love their salmon crabcakes, but this is where I go when I want good steak. Decent wine list too. read more

Came here on a Saturday about 2 weeks ago. Were seated in the bar area. It's a little drafty in there, they should think about heating the front vestibule to make it more comfortable... I think our server's name was Oscar, and the lady bartender served us as well. This is our go-to steakhouse in the area. Consistently good food and service with reasonable prices. I also like to go here b/c they have brussels sprouts. I had the filet mignon sandwich and french onion soup. Both tasty. My companion had the NY Strip I think and sauteed spinach instead of potato, which was not a problem to substitute. We shared sauteed mushrooms and brussels sprouts. Both tasty. The Malbec wine was good. Overall another nice time out. read more

I have been to KC Prime for both the Sunday brunch and regular dinner service. Hands down, the brunch receives five stars. The all-you-can-eat buffet has everything you could ever dream of and more. On top of that, there are omelette, carving, and Belgian waffle stations. Enough said, this is a must-do if you are interested in a fun, indulgent breakfast/lunch, aka brunch. At $19, this is also an absolute steal. Dinner was also excellent. I particularly liked the fact that the entrees included a side and salad. Steaks were cooked perfectly to order and the burger is to die for. Overall, this is a great place for a nicer dinner, but I wouldn't place it in the same class as most fine dining steakhouses. This is not to say that it isn't a great place - I will certainly return. One more tip - I signed up for their email list and they send me a $20 off coupon for every Sunday evening. read more

Update***I'm not sure what happened to this place, sadly we stopped going because the food hasn't been very good. Update**** This is our weekly go to restaurant when we are in the need for fabulous food and cozy ambiance and I don't feel like cooking lol. I met Philip last week and he was gracious and made us feel at home ;) Thank you for the consistent delicious food! read more

Shhhhh..... rumor has it that even managers of famous vegetarian restaurants get their protein fix here! So you know it's gotta be good. The KC stands for Kansas City, and the Prime stands for, you got it, Prime beef. Despite the high-back booths and simple menu selection, this isn't your typical steakhouse. In fact, on buffet Sundays it seems more like a kid's playground. But do not fear, they do their steaks well. I've been privy to the porterhouse and NY steak, and they're both fantastic. Thick, juicy and firm. None of that raggedy stuff you get at Charlie Brown's. Their salads were good too. And definitely don't pass on the chocolate volcano, although It really needs to come with two scoops of ice cream, not just one. read more

Great food and good service. Starting to feel a little too much like a chain restaurant now though, but still a darn fine steakhouse. Think they will ever actually put that seafood for two special on the menu instead of it being a special every night? Lol read more

Really can't complain for the area. The steaks are no Keens or Peter Lugers, but for the area they're much better than anything else around. Service is always great and accommodating (even when we were there with 8 people last time). Appetizers and sides are just as good. Always enjoy coming here as it's a good local place with a nice atmosphere and good steaks. The drinks are always strong as well. read more

Great place for good steak. Went to dinner last night (6/14/17). Amazing service, cozy atmosphere and a great selection of wine. The thick cut bacon appetizer was amazing with the BBQ glace. I had the 8 oz filet Mignon- medium rear, perfect temperature. The peppercorn steak sauce was yum yum...actually got a second helping:). Didn't have the sweet potato mash, but took the creamed spinach instead. This creamed spinach is better than the creamed spinach at Ruth Chris's for sure. To finish it off with Lemon Creme Brulee was a perfect end to a work week dinner. read more

Been coming here since it opened. Sunday brunch is very good (quality and selection), and the price cant be beat. Dinner never disappoints. Always very good, occasionally excellent, rarely sub-par. Overall a 4 star place. read more

I've been to KC Prime several times for lunch, Sunday brunch and dinner. Every time I go I am always completely satisfied with my service and food! Their menu has many options to choose from as well as daily specials that the server informs you about. (I wish the daily specials were printed and handed to you so that you can see the prices... there is also a lot of information to listen to and you can't always remember what each special has to offer, and I wish they weren't always the same.) I went for dinner tonight and ordered the lamb chop special, it came with bourbon sweet potato mash and sauteed spinach. It was FABULOUS and perfectly cooked! My portion came with 6 or 7 lamb chops, I shared with my brother and I was still able to take home half. My brother got the full rack of ribs which were also very good! For the two of us our bill was $111 for one glass of wine, two sodas, one soup, two entrees, coffee, espresso and two desserts. The entrees included salads, so for the amount of food we got I thought the bill was spot on. You definitely can't get that much food for the same price at Ruth's Chris! I have dined several times at the following steak houses: Ruth's Chris, The Palm & Capital Grille and think their prices and quality are pretty darn close. I love KC Prime and will continue to be a guest of theirs! read more

Came here for the first time for happy hour and had a good time. Bar staff always checked up on us and made sure we were good with our drinks. Tried the tuna tacos, sirloin on crostini, ribs, and slider, and they were delicious, though I thought the crostini was the best. The truffle chips were good too but not too much truffle flavor. I will definitely come back to eat a sit down meal. read more

Amazing restaurant! My parents were visiting me at school and we decided to try out this restaurant. We found it searching for steak near Princeton, NJ. My meal was the Filet Mignon. I ordered medium, and the meat was cooked to perfection. It was juicy and very flavorful. The burbon sweet potato mash was fantastic. My parents had a different kind of steak, which I don't remember the name of, but was perfect. Their meal came with a double baked potato, which made my taste buds very happy. Now onto the desserts: if you're looking for the most amazing treats, come here! Their flourless chocolate cake is to die for. I will be dreaming about it for months! My parents got the fondue, which was presented beautifully and came with an assortment of fruits and goodies to dip in, my favorite being the coconut marshmallows. The service was spectacular. Our waitress (don't remember her name!) was very courteous and on top of things. I hate when a waiter ignores me, especially when I'm really thirsty. This was absolutely not the case. Although the prices are a little high for my friends and I to come here regularly, every time I get a bonus at work I will be spending it here. read more

I want to start off by saying I usually come here for Sunday Brunch which is wonderful, read my last review for the sunday brunch. This time we decided to try the happy hour. Ambiance was nice, it was dark with a small bar with minimal amount of tables around the outside of the room. They really should add a couple tables in the middle to accomodate more people. The place was full but it didn't take much to make it full as I said there were minimal tables and the bar was small. They have a short wine list for $5 a glass. Other happy hours in the area offer a more extensive happy hour wine list so this was a disappointment. I had the chicken, crab and sausage quesadilla which was made fresh and delicious... more than I expected for a appetizer at happy hour. Overall, its a nice quiet place to sit and have a drink and an app. If you're looking for a more happening place, this is not it... they would need to market it a little better, add some more tables and add more to their happy hour menu to attract more people. To the management: I do really like the restaurant though, so if you ever do that, please let me know! read more

Obvious No Management on site for large in-house party leaving lousy unprofessional, inexperienced young kids to service 75 guests, winging it on their own (examples: waited long time to get a drink, poor and un- knowledgeable practices: 2 pieces of butter for entire table, 1 mini-creamer for entire table despite guests having to ask for more and more quantity instead of servers bringing correct amount; when asked for pepper-grinder it was put on the table beside me for me to do it myself, THE WORST SOUP(?) we've ever tasted -- there was obviously NO CHEF in the kitchen - how dare they serve that garbage of bits & pieces of mini-chopped meat no mushrooms no barley broth water - reminiscent of dog food. CHEAPEST side veg ever seen -- unheard of 3 chunks of zucchini next to steak (39cents/lb.) and potato chips instead of potato. EVERY ITEM WAS COLD. Presentation or lack thereof: Dessert dumped sideways into soup cup. This place went as far down hill as possible. OWNER WAKE UP because you'll be CLOSED UP soon. With so many guests, this should have been your chance to "shine" so attendees would give you repeat business but you CHOSE to have the place operate on its own and it shows no one cares. P.S. I'm a chef. read more

As a single person in the area, I enjoy the bar area to an extent. Oscar is the best bartender by far. He is accommodating and makes a great drink, always gets your order correct, dinner or lunch. The Hallumi cheese appetizer is amazing as is the Nolet gin martini! read more

First and the last time in this KC Prime location! Staff were very friendly and worked very hard to please all 5 of us while we celebrated Father's Day. My husband Porterhouse steak looked grayish color, tasted rotten, grainy and old. When we told our server she was very nice and understanding. She right away notified the manager named Phil who stopped by at our table and acted very unfriendly and stated that he is always ordering fresh meat and acted like he don't believes my husband who by the time were very nauseous from the awful steak they served him. The manager Phil was unprofessional, and very mean. He told us while he walked away from our table that he will take the steak of from our bill. Wow -We were very upset about his behavior. We paid our $306.31 check and while we are getting ready to leave noticed rain drops from the high ceiling on our table and the table next to ours.This is my first review ever-I felt like Phil was very rude and unprofessional. The way he handled the issue is very upsetting. I hope he will never act like this around other costumers! We are still so upset specially because my husband got sick from the rotten steak and his Father's Day celebration got ruined by restaurant manager behavior! My kids were upset too witnessing all of this!! Horrible! Not away to handle issues Phil Sheila P. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Our first-ever trip there was Easter Sunday. The guys wanted a buffet; KC was booked solid for their brunch buffet, but i was able to get in at 4 p.m. when their buffet changed over to an evening spread. And unknowingly we made the best choice. Because $26 a head got us an amazing spread, top notch display, great preparation, enough "made to order" stations to make us feel special, fantastic, professional service. And oh, how i wish i could remember the name of our server! It may have been Melissa -- but she made the day. First of all, our reservation was honored on the nose. no waiting. the hostess ensured we got a booth just as we asked. And those booths are perfect -- you feel like you are encased in a bubble with those high-backed, private booths. The lights are kept low and you feel like you are alone. Our server (Melissa?) anticipated our every need. Used plates were swept away immediately. we never had to ask for refills on water or soda. She was great. For once didn't feel badly about tipping a full 20%. And the food -- a bountious salad/app station, breads of every kind, desserts you wouldn't believe, soups, quesadillas, freshly made pasta dishes and four meats at the carving station. For sides there were incredible roasted potato dishes, all sorts of veggies -- too much to go into. We will be back for their Sunday buffet. This place is great and made our Easter wonderful. Thanks very much. read more

Father/Son outing with 9 at a big table. Of course most of us got steaks. Appetizers started out pretty good with typical artichoke/spinach dip, calamari (a bit tough) and grilled shrimp (a bit overdone). My steak was tasty but cooked to the next higher doneness. My son's ribs were tasty, but not fall off the bone tender like you might find at a smokehouse. read more

The food looks okay. But the details of this "restaurant" are atrocious. I, my wife, and our baby son froze as there's a large draft from an air vent. As far as the buffet itself, it is your typical, average buffet. This is a carving-station and custom egg omelette. The environment is loud and dark. I'm not a fan of buffets, but if I were to go to one, I'd go somewhere more comfortable b read more

K.C. has the best brunch. This is my husband's favorite local brunch. My family doesn't eat the for the rest of the day after this brunch. Just short of amazing. This is a special occasion brunch stop. Waffles with chocolate covered strawberries how can you top that. I highly recommend. read more

KC Prime is consistently a good meal, having been here again and again. The prices are on the higher end of the spectrum, but the ingredients are always fresh and delightful. The steaks are always a hit, and I recently tried a seafood appetizer, which I LOVED. I wish there was more quantity wise, but could not ask for more in terms of quality. read more

Celebrated two birthdays here last night and so glad we did. Our second time at the restaurant was as good as the first. Great service by Nadia and staff . The filet mignon, prime ribs, lamb chops and red snapper were all delicious. Since I mentioned we were celebrating my mother's and my birthday they brought two brownies with ice cream on the house for dessert which I thought was such a thoughtful thing to do. This is exactly why this restaurant is so packed on a Sat night at 7 PM -- they aim to please and listen to their patrons. I'm a lamp chop fan and KC Prime is definitely on a par with the steakhouses I love in NY (Del Frisco, Sparks, Rothman's, Rare 650, Capital Grille). Will definitely try their Sunday brunch next! read more

Went there for the Thanksgiving Buffet with my young family. Great pork roast and vegetables. Meat was tough. Traditional Thanksgiving fixings were pretty good. The sweet potoatoes had an orange flavor that totally overpowered the great natural taste of sweet potatoes. Staff was very friendly and despite the crowds, they made us feel at home; booths provided a lot of privacy. Desserts and coffee were fantastic. Thanks. read more

I love KC Prime. Their lunch menu is very reasonablly priced for takeout. You can find some very nice wraps and burgers on there. I know this is a steakhouse, but my favorite for dinner is actually their burger. Cooked perfectly using a mix of fresh ingredients that combine so well together. The bacon and cheese on it are so tasty. Get one of their nice draft beers, a burger, and get out of there for under $20. Looking forward to trying their brunch. read more

Yum. I love the menu, the service and the fact that it's never packed. I don't know why it's never packed but I appreciate this hidden gem. Yum. read more

I went there for a business dinner and the food was massive but very good. There were some very nice tables but for a party of 10, we got an old table in the back. Decent wine selection and the sides were great. The steak was good, but not as good as the price point. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in the area and an unexpected pleasant surprise. Hear the Sunday brunch is great! Looking forward to trying it soon. read more

First let me tell you that I think local first. That means that 90% of the restaurants that I go to are going to be locally owned. KCPrime, locally owned for 12 years is exceptional. What's the first clue. The bar tenders and staff are long time employees and they feel like old friends. The food is great. My favorite bone in filet mignon. I also like the sea scallops. Love the decor and atmosphere. read more

Not an above average steak house. The service was lacking even though there were only 6 people in the restaurant. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Everything else was pretty awful from the cocktails to the appetizers to the side dishes. A couple of friends got the special, Bronzino with edamame succotash, and is was tasteless and barely edible. Wait staff never asked how our meal was nor noticed that my friend took only took one sip of her martini... And then seems liked we bothered them when we asked them to fix the drink. Decor was nice and it was clean... Not enough to ever take me back there read more

We received terrible service for a Sunday brunch for around 8 people. Our waitress told us the wrong price for brunch. Some of us opted not to get the buffet. The waitress got the order wrong for one person and never came to check back on us. I got a caprice salad - based on the cost I would've thought it'd be a full meal, but it was a teeny side salad. read more

One of my favorite place for steak . Definitely check it out ambiance and service is also excellent .

We had a a pretty large group (12-15) dinner here recently and it was surprisingly good. A few steak snobs were among the bunch, and everyone was happy with their meals. I had a bone-in filet that was perfectly cooked (medium rare). read more

I enjoy it here, the food is great, staff is cool, The Decor needs a bit of updating but other then that it's cool.

I thought that being advertised as a steakhouse,,,,,the filet Mignon would be outstanding,,,,instead it could be used as a deadly weapon,,,,,tough does not begin to describe it... My friend ordered a Pepsi,,,,we sent it back,,,don't know what it was... beet salad was ok,,,while the other salad which came with the dinner was excellent ....Prime Rib was excellent,,,as was the creamed spinach,...desserts were average to below average.....,,cheesecake was the pits,,,.., and so,,,its just another steakhouse with a fancy name.................. read more
