62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 1949, this legendary destination is the king of San Francisco steakhouses. From luxurious carved-to-order prime rib rolled out on carts to chefs spinning salads to extra-large martinis with sidecars, every meal in the restaurant’s old-school dining room decked with ruby-hued booths is rollicking and unforgettable.

    Always a fun time here! We haven’t been in probably 10 years and it was just as we remembered it. Great sides, my only thing is that I should have ordered the prime rib medium rare instead of medium. But still delicious and they also have great cocktails.

    House of Prime Rib still hits like a freight train of flavor! First time back since 2019, and everything was just as I remembered—engaging server, that beet-filled salad still confusing my taste buds, and prime rib so tender I considered napping mid-meal. The creamed spinach was so good I shamelessly asked for seconds, while my baked potato got packed up like it was catching a flight home. Some things change, but HOPR still delivers a food coma like no other!

    The restaurant was surprisingly very crowded for a weeknight, but we were seated in a short period of time. We asked to be moved to a quieter table and the host was very accommodating to do so. The food was delicious and abundant, and our server was humorous as well as attentive. Would recommend it for the best prime rib in the City!

    HOPR never disappoints. I always have the English cut and my friends had the House cut! They were delicious! From the salad to the dessert! Creme brûlée was yummy! Matt, our server was very attentive and a delight!

    This is the only place you should go to for prime rib in San Francisco. Just make sure to make your reservation far in advance as they are booked full every night

    Always a great experience! A SF classic! I think House of Prime Rib and Original Joes (SF & Westlake) have the formula down! Classic SF eateries that maintain consistency and high standards from the back to front of house!
