Editorial Review for Lawry's The Prime Rib – by Jane Tunks
The Scene
Back in its original location after a decades-long stint across the street, Lawry's look is still familiar--a vast dining room decked with aristocratic paintings and waitresses in prim brown dresses and starched white collars and caps. A perfect venue for tourists and Midwestern transplants to worship at the altar of American beef.
The Food
Huge slabs of prime rib take center stage at this old-school restaurant. High priests of beef from the Royal Order of Carvers, festooned with gold medallions, carve your cut to order from a futuristic stainless steel cart. The beef here is juicy and flavorful. Splash out on the Diamond Jim Brady cut, an extra-thick, 16-ounce hunk of meat, including a rib bone. Dinners come with fluffy mashed potatoes, baked-to-order Yorkshire pudding and whipped cream horseradish.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoIf you order the Diamond Jim Brady cut, the busboy will bag the rib bone so you can take it home to Fido.
When to GoOnly half the tables are reserved, so diners can come in on the spur of the moment.
The ExtrasCatch the spinning salad trick--the waitresses lift a silver sauce boat overhead and pour Lawry's famous orange dressing straight into a salad bowl spinning on a crock of ice.
User Reviews for Lawry's The Prime Rib

My husband and I pass by this place all the time. So many restaurants in that area to choose from. We finally tried Lawry's. Nice place with a friendly staff. We felt so young. Most folks who dine here are 50+. We were sat at a nice booth, and our server took good care of us. Most of their service staff are also older then the usual young attitudes that serve in the area. We think that's a good thing. The only complaint I have is the cooking temp on my husband's prime rib. He likes it rare. A carver comes to the table, and cuts right in front of you. His cut was not rare. Instead of complaining, he ate most of it. Nothing special about this place that has been around for something like 70 years. Their $99 dinner for two seemd like a good idea when you compare the regular menu prices to what you get for that fixed price.
Pros: Service, valet
Cons: cooking temps

I love dining here. The service and food are both excellent. I would recommend making reservations and arrive a little early so you can get seated at the time you requested. It is definitely worth the wait though. The cream corn is my absolute favorite. Don't fill up on the bread! You'll want an empty stomach so you can enjoy the juicy prime rib.
