This is one of my favorite places . Usually the foods are pretty delicious. Ambience also pretty good. Service sometimes disappoints me. But it's ok. . We usually sit at the bar but inside tables, is much more fancy. . If you are thinking anniversary, birthday, proposal...it's pretty good place! read more

I attended a small celebration with 3 people at Prime Rib. The ambiance, live music and wall decor was great and set the ton for a relaxed and vibing time. However for this to be an upscaled pricey restaurant I expect seating to be presentable. The vinyl seating was heavily cracked up and unsightly. Our waiter other waiter this night were all in their upper senior of age and unfortunately our waiter was reaching over food and touch, however he was very attentive. The menu is nothing to boast about nor the drinks. Over priced and not good. I had ordered Oyster casino, 2 drinks and potato skins. I enjoyed the music and the table bread. Not the food and drinks that I ordered. I will not be visiting read more

This place is a class act from start to finish! From the outside the restaurant doesn't look like much, but as soon as you step through the front doors you are transported in time with staff in tuxedoes waiting to take your coat. The dining room is beautiful, cozy, and makes you feel like you are on the set of an old Hollywood movie. The Christmas decorations and jazz band just solidified the atmosphere and made the evening extra special! Our server Aaron was amazing. Perfectly executed drinks, apps, and dinner. You can tell the waitstaff have worked there for a long time which speaks volumes to the establishment. The food was 5/5 excellent. We got the famous potato skins and shrimp cocktail to start. Both were delicious, especially the skins with the horseradish sauce! I ordered the filet and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. This place is pricy but a fun splurge for a special occasion! Go and experience for yourself, you won't be disappointed. read more

Another amazing meal at The Prime Rib! We went all out for half price wine night. As always, the service and the meal were fantastic. I started with a Manhattan which was made perfectly. We moved onto a wedge salad with huge pieces of blue cheese and paired with a Sancerre. Filet mignon with the Gorgonzola picante, brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes were the main meal with a nice red. We couldn't resist the bread pudding for dessert. 5 star experience! read more

Went to Prime Rib on a Friday night and had so much fun! The music, good food, and friendly staff really created a wonderful dinner out. There's something about a steakhouse where most of the servers have been there for several years that adds to the experience, I think our server said he's been working there for over 20 years! We ate way too much and enjoyed every bite. The prime rib was tender and flavorful. We also enjoyed the crispy onion rings and the crab cake. Mashed potatoes were delicious, creamy and buttery. I very much enjoyed the supper club steakhouse vibe here. read more

I probably come to the Prime Rib a little too much. Anytime someone is visiting from out of town and wants a fancy dinner, this is where I take them. Anytime I have a special occasion to celebrate, I'm usually coming to Prime Rib. Even if I'm in the area and feeling a bit peckish, I find myself cozying up to the familiar bar. I love the staff here. Service is friendly and old school but not stuffy - especially if you sit at the bar. Austin, Mark, John, are all topnotch people and topnotch servers. My usual go-tos are the dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, the potato skins, and the house salad (hard-boiled eggs on the side). I recently celebrated my anniversary here and ordered the lobster tail for my entree. For $50ish it was a good size with great flavor and perfectly prepared. Not something I'd get for a normal dinner but it was lovely. I've also enjoyed some specials in the past like the crab legs or the ribs. If you're concerned about the high prices here, they offer a bar menu that is surprisingly affordable. Entrees like chicken, pork chop, burger, and even crab imperial for $30ish each. Not bad considering the ambiance and quality. They recently got rid of the cheesecake which we were very sad about but their sundae is also really good. The regular one is huge but they also offer a half size. I will continue to return here again and again. There's a reason they've been open for decades and I hope they remain open for many more years to come. read more

At The Prime Rib, this is not a restaurant. It's commiserating with the Rat Pack over martinis. The lighting is dim and everyone at the bar looks like they either run the city or used to. This place has been doing its thing since the 1960s, with tuxedoed waiters, live piano, and the locals are cultish about it. When the off-duty staff are sitting at the bar eating...yeah, that's your Michelin star right there. I leaned fully into my crab era, crab cocktail, crab imperial, just absolutely spiraling into Old Bay bliss. At some point I became the crab. No more notes. read more

The Prime Rib is a great spot with an ambiance that really makes you feel like you're in a movie. It's classically styled and very cozy inside. They offer a lot of specials, and my partner and I tried the wagyu and wine menu. We especially loved the steaks and red wine pairings. We also ordered the potato skins, Brussels sprouts, and mac and cheese. Loved the mac but cared less for the other sides. Our server was highly attentive and provided a nice presentation that elevated the overall experience. Overall, this is a great spot for an elevated meal or special occasion. read more

Way over rated, over priced! The tiniest shrimp ever. Drink was so weak. Can't justify paying for valet parking to get substandard food.

Been in this area for 25 years and this was my first time at the Prime Rib!!! Wow best Steak House in Baltimore!!! Old-school supper club vibe, jazz quartet playing, waiters who have been there FOREVER. Amazing steaks, apps and crabcakes! It's not just about the food; it's the experience!!! read more

What sets The Prime Rib apart isn't just the amazing food, it's the atmosphere and service. The prime rib was one of the best I've had: flavorful, perfectly cooked, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The bar team deserves a shoutout too! the drinks were spot-on, from the bourbon selections to their signature cocktails. Service throughout the night was attentive and personable, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The space has a sophisticated charm with live piano music in the background, which elevated the entire evening. This is easily one of the best dining spots in Baltimore when you want a memorable meal. read more

I am completely enamored with everything about The Prime Rib. One walk up the steps into the dining room that is adorned with leopard print carpet and a live piano player, I knew that I was in a place I would enjoy. We opted to sit at the bar, and Dan and Austin took care of us. At around 6:30 on a Sunday this bar was absolutely popping. Thankfully, a large party at the bar had a table resi so we snagged seats in the corner of the bar and began a lovely journey of martinis, carbs and of course prime rib. We started with the house salad which was great. We also split what I heard was one of their most popular dishes - a potato skin basket. I am unsure how I lived 36 years of life without ever experiencing such a thing. Who doesn't want perfectly crispy potatoes to be topped with horseradish and sour cream? It was DIVINE. On to the main - we opted to split the prime rib. It's a hefty 14 oz portion so you definitely want to share. There are a variety of sauces you can have with your entrees here, and we opted for bernaise. It also comes with horseradish. For sides, we got the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Life hack, save a potato skin and top it with creamed spinach. The great Anna S showed me this hack, and I am here to say this woman knows what's up. In terms of drinks, I of course had to order a dirty martini. This is a classic steakhouse dirty. It is filled to the brim, so much so they don't even add the olives into the drink until you take a few sips. The olives are hand stuffed with blue cheese and a wonderful salty addition to the briny martini of your dreams. This place is a total vibe. The bar has its own menu as well featuring sandwiches and a burger so I feel there is something to enjoy for every price point and craving here. Loved my experience, and especially loved knowing this has been family-owned and operated restaurant in Baltimore since 1965! A great steakhouse, good hospitality, and martinis truly never go out of style. read more

Reservation was made on OpenTable, we arrived in an Uber to a dark nondescript building, except for a mid 90's entryway of black polished marble and bright gold signage. Once inside it was very tight and busy. Very intimate yet stacked side by side, it had the feel of an old fashioned club that you needed to know someone to get into. We had an appetizer that was suggested, then we went onto wedge salads. Diner was Prime Rib for me and New York Strip for Mrs. Our shared sides were mac N cheese and onion rings. The beef was #Outstanding! The sides matched, the macNcheese was so far above what is offered now a days and the onion rings were out of this world. They were battered, crispy and sweet but not too much batter or sweet, just great though! Desserts were good but did not eclipse the main course. read more

I just want to be clear: this was a really excellent experience. I don't usually write reviews, but the ones I've seen here for The Prime Rib were confusing and really had me on the fence about whether or not to bring my husband here for his birthday. Like any restaurant, there are imperfections, but 4 stars overall definitely isn't fair. The food was delicious. My husband ordered the 14 oz prime rib (which was definitely more than 14oz!) and I ordered the pork chop. Both were superb, and we don't feel like we missed out on anything by not adding toppings to our meat. We shared the lobster Mac & cheese--which is definitely more Mac & cheese than lobster, but still really really good--and the potato skins, which were really good (especially if you go for the bacon & cheese addition). We got the crab imperial as an app and enjoyed that as well. The portions are appropriately large. Sometimes with fancy restaurants, I expect small/chef's table type portions (which I'm also into), but that isn't the case here. Our waiter Nathan was great! Honest, attentive, and funny without being overbearing. The ambiance was nice. Is it the most modern place? No (and the cheetah print carpet didn't help). But the quality of service and of food, plus the live piano really made up for that. I will also warn that getting into the restaurant from the valet garage ($10 btw) is strange. But once you get up the stairs and through the hallways, it's an inviting environment. Now yes, this place is expensive. But we know this already. So if you don't want to spend $250 for two people, then this isn't the best spot for you. But if you want to splurge and have an old school dining experience that will leave your tummy and pallet satisfied, then I would recommend this place! (Sorry we didn't get any pics. It was a phones off kind of dinner!) TLDR; too few stars, worth the price, nobody's perfect read more

This was an excellent experience. An old school steakhouse with comfortable seating and outstanding service. My steak was perfect. I highly recommend The Prime Rib. read more

The Prime Rib in Baltimore exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with polished yet genuinely warm service. The prime rib itself was cooked to perfection--juicy, tender, and seasoned beautifully. Portions are generous, and the presentation feels timeless. The cocktails were crafted with care (highly recommend the martini), and the wine list offered plenty of excellent pairings. The whole evening had a classic, almost old-school elegance that made it feel special without being stuffy. An outstanding dining experience all around. read more

Old-school steakhouse vibes -- dark wood, tuxedoed waiters, and a live jazz trio. The ribeye is everything you want it to be: tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned simply to let the meat shine. Portions are generous, and the martinis are stiff. It's pricey, and the style is very classic (read: not trendy), but that's the charm. read more

Very expensive, very old school - basically to the point that the vast majority of the clientele is carrying AARP cards. I tried the prime rib - medium rare - as they're named after it. As is often the case with steak houses, they went light on seasoning. Unlike other steak houses (like Bones in Atlanta), I didn't find the sides to be particularly well cooked. Au Gratin potatoes, asparagus. I also had a bite of the "chopped steak" - which is basically just a high end hamburger with no bun. Pretty unimpressed, overall, and I have no intent to go back as there wasn't a single standout dish that made me think they had a higher ceiling. Rounding down a star because of *just* expensive this place is. It was $250 or so for two people. I will say I wish I'd ordered the NY strip - maybe given them a slightly better shot at delivering something that actually qualifies as steak. The service was predictably attentive. They don't get a bonus for that, though, because if you're paying even half these prices that should be a given. Interior: wood, live piano, white tablecloths. I doubt the place has changed since the late 1970s, or whenever it was they opened. read more

Wonderful experience to celebrate a birthday. The cocktails are strong and delicious. My gin martini was shaken well and came with 3 delicious blue cheese stuffed olives as requested. We ordered two large steaks to share for 5 people. 1 appetizer, 3 side dishes, including lobster mac and cheese. Ended the evening with 3 desserts including a giant icecream sundae. The service was smooth. There's mostly business diners here. We brought out two children (10 year old or so) and they were the only children we saw this Friday evening. Love the piano playing in the background. Paid Valet parking offered - bring cash for valet and tip. Had to go up a narrow flight of stairs from the valet garage. read more

We finally had an opportunity to have dinner at the Prime Rib after living in Baltimore for more than two years. We had tickets to a performance at the symphony and decided to have dinner the Prime Rib before walking over to the Meyerhoff (the Prime Rib is conveniently located to a few theaters and halls, so it's a great pre-performance option). We started with the "Our Famous Greenberg Potato Skin Basket" - 4 perfect fried potato skins with horseradish sauce, which was a great starter. For my entree, I had the rack of lamb with mint jelly and amarena cherry mustard, which I really loved (perfectly cooked and well accompanied). My husband had the roast prime rib, and we shared the creamed spinach. Everything was good - but come hungry - these portions are serious! All our drinks were good as well - wine and cocktails! The service was great, and the restaurant does have ambiance (old school, and very traditional, but great ambiance)! Definitely a great spot for a fancy night out before a show! Keep it on your list and check it out! read more

I've been to Michelin star restaurants across the US and internationally, and not a single one was as arrogant and rude as the service we had here. Our waiter, Jimbo, was so condescending and inappropriate that we had to ask for another server. We had to send our steak back because we ordered medium and it was served well done. Overall, very disappointing experience- fell short on both service and food quality. read more

Service and ambiance were awesome. However the prime rib wasn't. We really should have sent it back. It was not seasoned well and was very tough.

My husband and I are huge fans of prime rib and were super hype to eat here. I made reservations about 2 weeks in advance for a Saturday at 5 pm (we love eating super early) for our anniversary. It definitely has that old school fancy steakhouse vibe where people bring their business partners and wine&dine. All the waiters are dressed up in suits. We were seated in a cozy corner in the piano/music room side. It was much appreciated as we enjoyed the privacy and social distancing. Our waiter was nice and brought us over their cocktail menu. My husband got an old fashion while I stuck with water. He told us their specials for the day, and we decided on getting the oysters Rockefeller for an appetizer, 4 sides: lobster Mac&cheese, corn off the cob, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. I got the house prime rib 14 oz (medium) while my husband went with the 30 oz bone in (medium rare(. If you think that this is way too much food for 2 people, you would be correct. The oysters were really good, but what isn't with all the cheese and butter? Highly recommended. Our food came out, and we were in awe. Our prime ribs were huge. My husband's was THICK. Our waiter offered us fresh ground pepper as well. The prime ribs were delicious and very tasty. I do wish we could get more of the au jus. The sides were delicious. The mashed potatoes was surprisingly My favorite. It did look a little plain at first, but man was it flavorful. I could not stop taking swipes of it. The creamed spinach was fine, the corn was REALLY good. Very sweet and just perfect. The lobster Mac and cheese was delicious, wish there was a bit more lobster as it was a little hard to find. By the end of dinner, we still had a lot left. We barely made a dent. Our waiter graciously packed up everything very neatly for us. They also surprised us with a slice of their chocolate mousse dessert for our anniversary. Even brought it out with a candle which was super sweet. It was SO good too. That white chocolate sauce was amazing and a really good complement to the rich dark chocolate. We also got the bread pudding (we went all out for this dinner), and it was fine. I would definitely skip the bread pudding next time and eat more of that delicious chocolate dessert. Overall, the Prime Rib was fantastic. It's a good place for a date night or birthday celebrations (there were a couple of birthdays that night!). I can't wait to take my parents and my inlaws here at some point. read more

We trusted Prime Rib with our 10 year anniversary dinner. That trust was well placed. Service was impeccable the whole night through. We started with drinks at the bar; my wife got an excellent aviation. I got a rye old fashioned. Both were excellent. We settled into our table with live jazz and the seafood sampler. Amazing prawns and oysters and crab. Excellent all around. We then transitioned to streaks (filet and ny strip) with brussels and lobster Mac as our sides. Everything was superb. It was excellent in the way that you almost don't understand what you need or want but the service provides exactly what was right. The seafood and meat was perfection, accompanied by excellent parings of white and red wines. To top it off, a chocolate dessert and appreciation from the staff and manager. We could not have asked for a better ten year wedding anniversary. I will cherish the memory of this meal for years to come. Thank you, for making us special. Shout out to Sam, our excellent guide though the menu, and Mark, the manager who made sure that everything was exemplary. Prime Rib is an institution. Deservedly so. I'm so thankful for the experience and care on such a special occasion. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore! I typically go here for special occasions, so I was excited to spend my birthday there last night. Parking was definitely a challenge upon arrival, so after circling the block a few times, I gave up and valeted my car. Valet costs $10, so I recommend bringing cash for that. Upon entering the restaurant, no one was at the host stand to greet or seat me. I stood for a few moments before opting to sit at the bar. The bartender was friendly, quick, and attentive. I ordered a standard cocktail, the chopped steak, and a side of mashed potatoes. My food came out very quickly and was pretty tasty. The steak was a touch drier than I would've liked but ultimately, it was still a great meal. The mashed potatoes were like a boat so know that if you order them, you will likely need a box like I did. I ordered a piece of key lime pie to wrap up the evening, and the bartender was nice enough to put a candle on it and comp it for me as a gift. It was extremely tasty and fresh and the perfect way to end my night. I loved the live music that they had and had a wonderful time overall. I can't wait to go back! read more

Everything was exceptional. Totally old school vibe and definitely an extravagant meal but worth it for the experience. The service was Michelin level and the food was impeccable. The prime rib steak with the fresh shaved horseradish is the thing to have and if they happen to have profiteroles on the menu it's worth starting with desert(they normally only have them for special holidays). The ice cream sundae however ridiculous to order at the end of a indulgent steak dinner is worth every calorie. read more

1'29'23- Nice upscale restaurant. The Prime Rib is a nice upscale restaurant. Our waiter was very nice... older black gentleman... and the bar tender even came to our table to take out cocktail order. I had the a French 75- not the best I've had but the liquor was there. My friend had a sidecar which she really enjoyed. We both ordered the caesar salad- crisp, fresh, tons of fresh parm. My friend had the filet mignon- tender and cooked to perfection. I had the lobster tails topped with the LUMP crab- FRESH SEAFOOD We also shared the garlic mashed potatoes. Overall the food was definitely fresh (I keep saying fresh ) and cooked very well but I thought everything needed a tad more seasoning. The ambiance is a little stuffy for my liking but a nice place to have a quite expensive meal. read more

I go old school tonight dining at a Baltimore classic: The Prime Rib. It opened in 1965. Gotta have a piano player in the dining room. Chris, my server, was super talented and is someone I highly recommend? I start with a perfect Belvedere Martini with Blue Cheese Olives. Chris didn't spill a drop in its delivery. I must try the signature Greenberg Potato Skins. They were put on the menu when the restaurant first opened. Perfectly deep fried. Served with horseradish sauce. Yum! The signature cut of Roast Prime Rib is exquisite. This slab is 14 ounces of perfection. I can't imagine someone eating the 30 ounce full cut. Served with raw horseradish. Sautéed White Button Mushrooms are a delicious side! Everything about this evening was perfect! read more
