"While I am not a big steak house fan this was my third steak house in one week. The others were disappointing. The prime rib was excellent. The service was fantastic. The prime rib was excellent. I had the bone in rib eye and was the best steak I have had in a very long time. Cook perfectly with great crust nicely seasoned and enough for two meals. Also our table had the lamb chops and filet Oscar. Both also excellent. Side dishes were grilled asparagus and artichoke hearts both perfectly grilled. French fries were good. The desserts were huge and very good. The room was very noisy a small price to pay for great steaks. A must try."

"Very expensive, but you get what you pay for. Went here with my girlfriend for her birthday, and the food was amazing and the atmosphere was very romantic with very good staff. I tried the roasted tomato soup and the filet, and both were amazing!"

"The Prime Rib never disappoints. There is not a better steak anywhere (not in NY, Chicago, Houston). I had the filet, which could not have been finer. My wife had a crab cake, which she proclaimed as superior. The Greenberg potato skins are always a great side dish treat. It was a birthday celebration, and the restaurant provided a slice of chocolate mousse cake (with candle). The service was fabulous; the dining room environment is swank, sophisticated and romantic."

"Consistency, great service, always dependable--that's the original Prime Rib. The wine list has great variety, both in price and in selection. Management obviously emphasizes customer care as a top priority, and it shows in the excellent service. Somehow, this place always seems to be able to be bustling and yet intimate at the same time."

"The Prime Rib is a wonderful throwback to the classic steakhouses of the 50's and 60's. Outstanding, well prepared steaks and chops and of course prime rib brought exactly as ordered. The cream spinach and onion rings are not to be missed! A few of the side dishes were a bit of a miss keeps this establishment from getting a full 5-stars. Would be great if they served old style biscuits instead of the loaf of bread that came to the table. Will definitely return here instead of any of the other steak places in Baltimore."

"We haven't been to The Prime Rib in over 20 years so we decided to give it a shot for our anniversary. From beginning to end it was terrific. Wait service was professional yet friendly. The food, prime rib, was cooked to perfection and the sides were very tasty as well. We splurged a bit on drinks which brought the tab up to the stratusphere but it was all worth it."

"We were a party of four packed into a small table in a crowded room. Negative ambiance. Hard to fit food on table.
Food was very good.
Side dishes small.
For these prices expected better atmosphere and service. Better steakhouses in Baltimore.

"This over-priced crowded spot has a reputation that is not just sitting on its laurels, but throwing them away. We both have had better prime rib at one-third the price. The creamed spinach was good, but everything else was just average, but priced as if it were exceptional. It may have been so in 1965, even in 1995, but in 2013 it's ludicrous. Forget this place. They have."

"Very pricey and worth it! My almost grown grandchildren always askme for dinner at the PrimeRib for their birthday gift. Have been bringing one for 11 years and he now comes home from college todo this..The meats are so excellent..hard to duplicate at home and a generous number of choices for those who want fish or seafood.Servers experienced andsmooth but not above being gracious tomy table which is obviously not going to be a big ticket group with no drinkers."

"So-so evening at the Prime Rib. Used to be the "go-to" special occasion restauranat in Baltimore. Over the past few years it has slipped as a number of truly fine and creative restaurants in Baltimore have opened. The menu or decor (pictures, leopard carpet) haven't changed in 20 years. Looking for a steak or seafood, plain and simple? This is the place. The lobster bisque - great and the cocktail selection - lovely. My swordfish was good but perhaps a smaller portion, more creatively prepared? My husband loved his rockfish. The restaurant was loud. The crowd older. Subpar table perhaps because there were only two of us? Not regulars? A serving tray stand was behind me and I got bumped by servers and trays. Our server Nathan was excellent."

"The hype of The Prime Rib sets a very high standard but the experience of it disappoints. The look and the feel of the restaurant is very dated. The black tile walls, the art work, the carpet, the lighting all scream 1999, Everyone had steak, which was well prepared but not particularly noteworthy. The asparagus was overcooked but the artichoke hearts were undercooked. The service was good. Overall, it was a good dining experience but considering the cost, it was a disappointment. The restaurant needs a makeover."

"Bring your wallet, cause it ain't cheap! Everyone was pleased with their food once again. I had the sea bass, was probably the least liked choice of the table, served with a tomato/capers.. which would have been better served over then on the side. 3 people had the Filet Oscar special, which was awesome. Our daughter had the crab cakes, which I really think are some of the best around. My husband had the pork chop, blackened...which was probably the best ever! Oysters rockefellar were as always, great! Creme brulee is some of the best ever.. cheese cake was very good and the bread pudding, WOW! Not an everyday meal and might be one of the most expensive meals you have...but if you can go there... enjoy! Service, is second to none!!!"

"I went to the Prime Rib many times during my 20s but have not been there in 30 years (I'm 57 now). It was my son's 25th birthday. He lives in Canton and I wanted him to experience the Prime Rib. He is a steak lover so we went there for a very special dinner. We both ordered the special Filet Mignon topped with crab with asparagus, fresh horseradish on the side with greens. Not only was it as great as I remember it, they treated us like royalty! He felt so special on his birthday and I was so happy to pass on a great Baltimore tradition of dining at the Prime Rib - dining at it's finest! The best thing was that it was as wonderful as I remember it many years ago.
Thanks for living up to and going beyond my expectations!"

"the prime rib is our favorite (special occasion) restaurant, and never fails in providing us with a wonderful dining experience. we start with their delicious cocktails, and proceed to their entrees. we always order our favorites, filet for him, and lobster tail for me. we would highly recommend this restaurant."

"The food was as good as expected. The prime rib steak is consistenly good,but the price has gone up over the years and most would consider it overpriced. One should check the on line menu price before taking a stroll over to the Horizon house. The service is as good as ever"

"I'm glad to have visited the Prime Rib. I've lived in Baltimore most of my life, and remember many of the top restaurants which are no longer here (Pimlico Hotel, Danny's, The Brass Elephant, The Chesapeake Restaurant, Maison Marconi). It's hard to find a restaurant which truly gives a fine dining experience. I worked in the food service industry for over 20 years, and in my opinion, the food, service, and atmosphere make visiting the Prime Rib a must. I think the cost is very practical for the experience. We will be back!"

"Superb service from the moment you enter. And, the best prime rib anywhere! Crab cakes are outstanding for those who don't go the beef route. Ambience makes you feel very special and the staff does as well. Such a fabulous watering hole in our city!"

"Other than the noise and crowded tables and a slightly irregular serving schedule due, probably to the sold-out room, our experience was fine. The steaks and crab cakes were first rate, the piano player excellent. Rearranging tables might allow for enough space so that servers can get by."

"The Prime Rib provided a perfect evening and dining experience for us. They serve delicious food in a beautiful place with great atmosphere. We were delighted with our waiter. Dan provided us with great service and personal attention. John introduced us to a new bottle of wine which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for making our 20th wedding anniversary so special."

"Prime rib was good, though I wouldn't say better than Morton's. "Grilled" asparagus was burnt and inedible. Escargot rather mediocre, just drowned in butter sauce lacked any character at all. Dessert was good, crème brulee and mousse."
