lawry's the prime rib

yummm!. definitely not a place you frequent, but when visited, it's verry good. greatprimerib/steak dinners with all the trimmings. the meat is cooked to perfection, to your liking. i even got a slice of cake for my birthday! while you're waiting to be seating, grab a drink at the bar and get some h'dourves.

los angles glamour

i had the most fabulous time here. my jaw dropped when i walked in - i felt like i stepped back in time. it looks like a glamorous 1930's supper club.

we all had theprimerib. it was cooked to perfection and i cut mine with my fork. it was the bestprimerib i ever had. the horseradish was especially tasty and the cream corn was delicious.

known for theirprimerib that comes to the table by a server that hand carves it in front of you. they also cook it to perfection based on your preference. i went with the medium-rare and that was the juiciest piece of rib i've eaten. they also serve a side of traditional yorkshire pudding, creamed corn or spinach and a few other sides. the hero was the rib.

had a great time, this place was a lot of fun , went with 3 football buddies, i was the smallest guy 6.4 250 so you can imagine we could really put it away, which is what we did, theprimerib is fantastic, the service is very prompt and timely, the meat was cooked to perfection, my buddies ordered the lage cut while i opted for the lite cut, much to enjoyment of my friends who hassled me through the whole meal, as it was i barely finished and my hand was shaking when i brought the last bite to my mouth, however one of my table mates cleaned his plate so good the bone from the rib that was left over looked like it was beached in the sun, anyway this is a great place to visit its the name sake of lawrys seasoning and its a bit of history as well as a great meal, i go back everytime i am in la

lawry's is a place you go for a nice evening out.  we usually frequent the las vegas location, and it is a quiet restaurant, very romantic, and also not that cheap.

we went to the beverly hills location the day before valentine's day.  the place was...well, a zoo.  people were everywhere, and there was wall to wall people.  apparently lawry's hired a photographer to take "souvenir" photos and they had a table set up, literally blocking the front entrance.  i have no idea when these people took pictures, as i was there for 2 hours and never saw a photographer.

we arrived at 7:20 for our 7:30 reservations. while we waited, we found a room that had meatballs and potato chips to munch on as a snack, which was a nice touch.  for a place that will be charging $125 + per couple for dinner, there were a lot of kids on valentine's day weekend, as well as a lot of people dressed like they just rolled out of bed, with shorts, flip flops, t shirts, sweat pants... what the hell?! i thought there was a dress code? don't say "oh, that's la people" because i am a southern california native, born and raised.  its called manners and upbringing, and some of these people don't get that you dress up when going out to a nice place.

las vegas has a lot of booth for couples. beverly hills is a larger venue, catering to groups, offering a lot fewer intimate booths. the dining room is more open, but less walking space.  many people kept bumping into each other, or had trouble passing by as the waiter, the carving trolley or people in general kept congesting the walkway.  you also get to know your neighbor intimately, as my neighbor was literally an arms length away.

the valentine's dinner menu for 2 was not as attractive as i thought.  
for $125 per couple you get:
- the famous salad (a given)
- a california cutprimerib with a choice of creamed corn or spinach
- a small flute of champagne (sparkling wine)
- 4 chocolate covered strawberries to share
- jar of the cc brown chocolate sauce to take home.

after adding up the cost, you're paying $31 for the champagne, berries and jar of chocolate.  no coffee? so we went off the menu and got theprimerib, the corn and spinach (served on the side, not plated), a huge white chocolate banana bread pudding for dessert, 2 coffees and a cocktail for $119.  

there's more! i had 2, $25 bonus gift cards from christmas plus 2, $25 vip points to use.. so our valentine's dinner came to less than $19. i still love lawry's but this location is just too busy and too noisy.  i'd rather wait until i return to vegas for old school service, and enjoy my meal in a more romantic setting.

3-stars for this location, and not because it was the saturday before valentine's day, but because the place doesn't enforce a dress code.

if you're wanting a large piece ofprimerib with vegetables optional, this is your place. you can opt from normal size piece of meat to omg that's a half a cow. truly, everything else is crap but the meat is excellent.

everything about this restaurant was great. truly picking one food group and doing it right seems to work for this restaurant. theprimerib was outstanding as was the lobster. some of the best we ever had. the food was only surpassed by the service as our waitress isabella was phenomenal. my only negative comment might be the free appetizers. the meatballs were cold and the chips were empty and the area where you sit needed to be bussed as not enjoyable sitting with other people's half eaten food in front of you. other than that, a perfect 10.

so good!. came here for one thing only... theprimerib as per the namesake duh! so tender, so beefy but yes pricey cos u can't get this nowhere else!

one of the bestprimeribs you better bring an appetite because the portions are a little too big here. i like quality and not quantity but you get both here.

like most people who live here in los angeles, i do not go to universal studios or disneyland unless friends from out of town are visiting me. even when people from out of town come to visit, i will often chauffeur them to the tourist sites, but leave them there to enjoy the attraction without joining them. there are a few attractions which are favored by tourists and locals alike, and lawry's theprimerib is one of them. even though it is a favorite of several of my friends, i have never been there with any of them until this week. one of my friends goes to lawry's so often that she is a vip rewards member, so when she invited me to try it, i knew that it was time for me to try this landmark restaurant. being a fan of very rare beef, i was always skeptical of anyplace which caters to "medium rare" tastes, but my eating partner knows my preferences and has enough sense to know where i will be happy with my food. dinners all come with a salad, but you may chose to add or delete as many

old school...the best...love the theprimerib been coming for 25 years and always perfection served.

mzzmeka. i'm sorry people, but lawry's is over- rated. looking for a nice and tasty dining experience before the sade and john legend concert; my husband and i decided on lawrys. while the service was great, and the wine selection was great; theprimerib was tasteless, had no flavor, bland, and barely warm. i have had much better at a buffet or vegas casino. and what is it with the spinning salad bowl? it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out water and ice wilts lettuce. which is exactly how my salad ended up when it was served, "wilted." everything was just over played and dramatic. might i add, very pricey, not worth it. we will not return, instead, we will stick to our roots, mastro's or mortons.

bestprimerib in la. start with lawry's famous spinning salad, then add some delicious sides to your slice of the bestprimerib in la. you must go in december when they have the wonderful carolers singing.

bestprimerib and service!. i love how they bring the food over in their silver carts! they cut theprimerib right there in front of you and it's the bestprimerib ever! it is pricey, but soooo worth it!
