    Prime rib
    Lloyd M.

    Prime rib is my comfort food, something I've enjoyed from my earliest memories. These days it is increasingly difficult to find good prime rib in a restaurant. I was excited when I discovered Primarily Prime Rib and it lived up to my expectations. The prime rib was as hearty a portion as promised but more importantly it was good. Perfectly cooked medium rare (sometimes an issue), not at all tough (another frequent complaint) with excellent flavor. I also enjoyed the brussel sprouts. I didn't find the fried pickles as tasty as the rest of the meal and the vegetables were quite unspectacular. Go for the prime rib, don't worry about anything else.

    Banana bread pudding!
    Michelle L.

    From the moment we sat down, Steven and Cristal delivered some of the best service I've experienced in Las Vegas. They're an incredible team and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal. Their recommendation of the banana bread pudding was spot on. It was the perfect way to end dinner. I also have to give a shoutout to the French fries, which were unexpectedly outstanding. Crispy, golden, and clearly cooked in fresh oil. My favorite entrées were the South Point House Prime Rib and the Ocassion, both of which absolutely lived up to the hype. What really stood out was the hospitality. Steven and Cristal were attentive without hovering, checked in at all the right moments, and made every interaction feel sincere. Their warmth and professionalism elevated an already great meal into an exceptional dining experience. If Yelp allowed it, they'd be getting 6 out of 5 stars from me.

    Chef's Favorite Cheesecake of the Day

    14 of us arrived for a birthday celebration dinner. The accommodations were exquisite, and the food was phenomenal. Our two servers worked together quickly and efficiently, and we received our food in a timely manner. I had the barbecue macaroni and cheese,. It is a creamy macaroni and cheese on top, and a shredded barbecue beef on the bottom. I shared it with my sister-in-law and she said it was 12 out of 12 taste After the macaroni and cheese, I was served a delicious cream of broccoli soup. It was so velvety and fresh and creamy. I wanted to take a whole quart of it home. I brought my baked potato home because I knew I did not have room for it in my stomach. The orange roughy fillet appeared to be a dryer fillet of fish, but the taste was delicious and I didn't pick up much of the crab in the crab sauce, but the sauce was delicious also. The cheesecake was not a baked cheesecake. It was more of a fluffy creamy mousse cheesecake. Very light and fluffy and I absolutely love the crust. The cake was surrounded by fresh plump berries sitting on a cloud of whipped cream. This was my first time here and I can't wait to come back.

    Restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Wait staff is quick and customer oriented and checks back often (almost too often). Food was good but not great. I can make better steaks on my backyard grill and cook them correctly. One steak was under cooked and another was overcooked. Scotch eggs were very bland (do those myself much better). The topping for the Oscar style steak contained crab in the sauce which also contained pieces of crab shell! Not a great meal at all will never return!

    We'd heard great things about this steakhouse, so a group of friends and I decided to check it out after a bingo night. The staff is amazing; they hustle, they're attentive, and they genuinely make sure you have a great time. The food was solid, good across the board, though not quite jaw-dropping. The standout for me was the BBQ mac & cheese, which alone would bring me back. Pricing is also refreshingly reasonable for a steakhouse which we all know it's a rare find these days. The atmosphere really seals the deal: dimmed lighting, cozy and romantic without being stuffy, and a noise level that actually lets you hold a conversation. Overall, a really enjoyable night out.

    Primarily Prime Rib is a solid choice if you're looking for prime rib. It's located inside the South Point Hotel on the second floor. It's a busy restaurant so you should make reservations. We were seated at a nice booth with a view of the entire restaurant. Our server greeted us right away and informed us of an off menu special and the soup of the night. I like how the prime rib dinner included a side choice and a soup or salad to start. We ordered the crab cakes appetizer, the blackened Cajun style prime rib, a cowboy cut, soup, salad, a baked potato, and mashed potatoes. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée. Everything was delicious. The service is excellent. The price point is exceptional for what you receive.

    I feel like a broken record... but hey 5 stars is what they get because that's what they do! Best service in town, Steven A. We request him every time, yup he is that good! Wine of the Month never disappoints! Nor does the food that's why we come here so often! So when it is her Birthday I go with a winner! Her favorite! Classy upscale dining at a locals price point! The best Crabcakes in Vegas and the Garlic Mushrooms are just as decadent.

    This place is inside the south point hotel and Casino closes by the Coronado cafe. We celebrated my work promotion. The staff was attentive and they asking if we have allergies to seafood or nuts. I like all food that we ordered because of that we didnt have a chance to try there dessert. Definitely will back here. I believe you can use complimentary food credit from South Point hotel a s Casino

    Service and food still very good especially for the price. Cocktails are $9. $29-$32 for the prime ribs we got. Restaurant was still quiet, dark, and perfect. Our servers were fab. We felt a little rushed, but otherwise it's still one of the best bangs for your buck.

    We came for Mother's Day this year after we hadn't been in a while and I'm so glad we did! Everything was amazing! The prime rib was so tender and I loved the giant shrimp on the shrimp cocktail. The servers were attentive and speedy but never overbearing. We had a very nice dinner and the price was fantastic at $45 per person for the holiday menu. I'd definitely recommend!

    Pink Lemonade ($4.45)

    I ordered the "Rodeo" Prime Rib Cut ($42.95 - 16oz - Medium Rare). It's perhaps one of the best Prime Ribs that I'd ever eaten. With each bite, happiness pummeled hard into me. Its tender meat is thick; its fat drips easily apart; and its aftertaste is simply clean, savory beef. I bit into juicy perfection. Primarily Prime Rib (located in the South Point Casino) offers absurdly delicious Prime Rib with very competitive prices. In addition, it's very easy to book reservations; there were many open time slots when booking for the following day. I visited Primarily Prime Rib (Las Vegas) on a Saturday (around 6:20PM). Staff is very professional, efficient, and hardworking. Although they lack that well-rehearsed & graceful charm, staff shows an appealing scrappiness and eagerness to serve & perform well. Our Server's Assistant (Yaima) is attentive, diligent, and helpful. Yaima quickly filled our drinks & assisted whenever possible. Our primary Server (Charles) is also focused, diligent, and quick. Charles gave wonderful recommendations; Charles moved quickly; and Charles was curt and professional. I especially loved how Charles left a complimentary chocolate mint when our dinner had concluded. I ordered the "Rodeo Cut" ($42.95) and Pink Lemonade ($4.45). With the "Rodeo Cut," I selected the Cup of Soup (Chicken Cacciatore Soup) and Mashed Potatoes. My beverage arrived quickly. The complimentary bread and butter also arrived quickly. The soup arrived in six minutes and seven seconds. The Prime Rib (16oz - Medium Rare) & Mashed Potatoes arrived within 22 minutes and 50 seconds. Our server (Charles) also provided fresh & creamy horseradish. Quick service! As mentioned prior, the food is phenomenal. Honestly, I'd been skeptical since the prices were competitive, yet I'm utterly amazed how it did not negatively impact the food's upscale quality. The weakest part of the meal was the dry complimentary bread, but that's easily avoided with slathering butter. The Cup of Soup (Chicken Cacciatore Soup) arrived hot with diced vegetables and chicken. It's very flavorful and cooked very well. Its vegetables had a lovely soft texture; the chicken is tender and tasty; and its sliced mushrooms are plump. I especially appreciated how this soup tasted freshly prepared; it deftly avoids that canned saltiness. The Mashed Potatoes also arrived hot, thick, and delicious; it tasted like freshly mashed tender potatoes. Most importantly, the "Rodeo Cut" Prime Rib is generously sliced and humongous. Every bite felt satisfying. The Prime Rib is juicy, and it breaks firmly apart as your teeth effortlessly slice through it. It's quality meat that's cooked thoughtfully and passionately. Bravo to the chefs! Bravo!!! Concerning ambiance, Primarily Prime Rib feels dated. The floors, walls, and decor are very busy; its colors remind me of a salesman that's wearing a bright red suit and khaki pants. Despite that, Primarily Prime Rib is very clean, well-ventilated, and comfortable. The interior felt very fresh and well-maintained. Primarily Prime Rib appears clunky as staff uses wheeled-carts to move around food, materials, or dirty dishes; however, Primarily Prime Rib functions efficiently and smoothly. Regarding volume level, the main sounds were the many customers' chatter. There's some very faint instrumental/jazz music, but it's almost inaudible. Thankfully, the location is not echoey, so the chatter doesn't detract from the dining experience. In addition, the dress code ranges from casual (ex: people wearing baseball caps, t-shirt, and Hawaiian shirts) to business casual. Mostly, I saw happy customers (from all parts of life) feasting on large plates of Prime Rib. Overall, Primarily Prime Rib (located in the South Point Casino) has quickly become my must-visit location whenever traveling to Las Vegas. The prices are very affordable; the staff is very hardworking; and the food is memorable & satisfying. I absolutely adore Prime Rib, and I will happily admit that this location offers one of the best. 5 out of 5. GO!!!

    Salmon topped with crab.

    We were staying at South Point and wanted a nice meal for Easter. The prie fixe menu for Easter. The service was amazing and the food was excellent. Hubby got the prime rib and I got the salmon. We cleaned our plates. The ambiance and decor or beautiful. It's like dining in n old Las Vegas where service is key. We will definitely return.

    Another wonderful meal at Primarily Prime Rib. After a rather taxing search for a parking spot in the structure, we arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation. Fortunately, they open at 4 and weren't very busy so we were seated early. This worked out great since my son had tickets to see Penn & Teller at the Rio and this allowed for a more relaxed meal before he had to return to his hotel to meet his friends. This was my 3rd visit to PPR but the first time we were able to bring the kids. My son had flown in for a video game competition at the convention center so we planned my birthday dinner a few weeks early when everyone could be there. Our server Stephanie was extremely helpful and very funny as well. Good food and friendly service makes for a great experience. My son and I were rather hungry so we ordered the Rodeo cut prime rib which is a generous 16 ounces. My wife and daughter ordered the smaller South Point cut. We did consider going to Lawry's instead but for the difference in price and the quality of the meat, I figured I'd save my kids some money for a perfectly good prime rib dinner. We did give in to temptation and ordered some dessert to share. Tonight's cheesecake was a German Chocolate Cheesecake which was quite good but I could live without the shredded coconut, the crème brûlée with berries, and my selection, the hot apple Brown Bettie which is sliced pieces of baked cinnamon apple covered with sugar crumble and peanut butter crunch topped with vanilla bean ice cream. That's what I'm talking about. So 4 prime rib dinners, a side of creamed corn, 3 desserts, and 2 cocktails for $188 was quite reasonable. It may not be the most glamorous steak house in Vegas but it's homey and the staff do their best to cater to your needs with a positive attitude. The type of establishment I like to frequent.

He spent a lot of time explaining the menu and answering questions. He never seemed to be in a rush and was on top of it. There were others constantly filling water, removing plates, etc. The service alone was impeccable. We loved the mushroom fries. The basil aioli it came with was fantastic. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were more like a salad, fresh with lemon and pistachio. The creamy garlic mashed potatoes were also fantastic. My wife and I both tried the Spencer cut steak. It was grilled to perfection. Great char and came out the way I ordered it. Juicy and not fatty, an excellent cut. I really enjoyed the sorbet as well. I was so full, but it was a welcomed, refreshing conclusion to our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was classy. The food and service amazing. Can't wait to return here when in town next.

The first floor of the restaurant was very cool! You could see the cuts of meat in the refrigerators and there is also a bar on the left of the entrance. There was a beautiful chandelier by the staircase as well. The upstairs dining area was very plain however. Bare walls, industrial type of standard light fixtures. The server recommended the skirt steak which we ordered MR. Also ordered the ribeye, portobello mushrooms fries and the steak tartare to start. I've never seen a steak tartare come out brown as it shows in the photo. I was so hungry, so I tried some, assuming the kitchen wouldn't send out bad raw meat. It tasted ok but the more I kept eating the weirder I felt about the color. We asked the manager if this was a common occurrence as my experience with steak tartare had never been this way. She said that it shouldn't come out brown and said she'd take it off the menu. She then later came back to explain that the lime juice that's in the marinade oxidizes the raw beef so that's why it's brown... which is an acceptable answer I suppose? It just felt weird bc I couldn't find any photos of browned steak tartare on google when looking up the restaurant menu. The steaks we ordered MR came out. The ribeye was cooked decently but the skirt steak was more on the rare side so we had to send it back for an oven heat up for 1 more minute. I enjoyed the skirt steak but it was too sweet to enjoy the whole thing. Cooking it in the oven for another minute made it even sweeter. It tasted like over sweetened Korean galbi in steak form. I'd say the portobello fries was my favorite dish and decided to take the rest to go to pick at in the hotel. After dinner we were given the dessert menu which didn't really call out to me, but since we told the server it was our anniversary, they gave us complimentary sorbet which was very nice. I liked the sorbet quite a lot but I was pretty full so didn't get to enjoy much of it. The gesture was kind though. At the end, the steak tartare was not taken off our receipt so we had to ask for that to be taken off since the manager told us she'd do that. The server gladly obliged. I want to say, that there was a female employee - maybe a busser, who worked really hard to be attentive with our waters and clearing our plates. I wish I got her name! I believe she was Latina with a ponytail if that helps at all working Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend at 6PM. All in all, the experience was not as great as my husband's first time at the Henderson location - he said the cuts were so much bigger before and the ambience of the Henderson location was more fine dining-esque. But the economy is tough lately so I figured the quality could've easily gone down. Because the price points were very reasonable, I thought it was up to par with what we paid. Probably won't go back unfortunately but it was great to try it out. The plaza it is in is called Trivoli(?) and I thought it was a cute spot with a lot of shops. Although everything was closed by 8, we walked around to digest a little and enjoyed the evening.

Quite literally acted like it was his last day, working the worst job of his life and that he could not wait to get out of there. As far as the food is concerned, it's all standard steakhouse items so nothing jumped out as being exceedingly good or noticeably unique, but with that being said the temperature on my steak would not what I requested and when I asked for it to be sent back, they refused. So, just summarize, the service was worse than anything I'd encountered anywhere. I've had better service at a diner at two in the morning then I did at this restaurant and the food was un impressive and improperly prepared. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else because I guarantee eating here will only be a black mark on your trip.
