House of Prime Rib Menu and Prices: Dinner Cuts, Calorie Notes and Hours

House of Prime Rib’s menu centers on four cuts of beef carved at the table: the smaller City Cut, the House of Prime Rib Cut, the thinly sliced English Cut and the extra-large King Henry VIII Cut. Prime rib dinners include a tableside salad, a choice of potato, Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach and horseradish sauce. The San Francisco restaurant is open for dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Its published online menu does not give current prices for each cut or calorie counts.

What’s on the House of Prime Rib menu?

The main decision is how you want your prime rib served. The City Cut is the smallest listed portion. The House of Prime Rib Cut is a hearty serving, while the English Cut comes in thinner slices rather than one thick slice. The King Henry VIII Cut is the largest listed option, described by the restaurant as an extra-generous, thick cut.

The menu also lists a children’s prime rib dinner for children ages 8 and under, with milk and ice cream. For someone who does not want beef, it offers a fresh fish selection; diners must ask their server what is available and what it costs that day.

What comes with a prime rib dinner?

The listed accompaniments are a salad of seasonal greens tossed at the table in house dressing; either mashed potatoes with gravy or a baked potato with butter, sour cream and chives; Yorkshire pudding; creamed spinach; and cream of horseradish sauce. The restaurant’s description says its creamed spinach contains bacon as well as cream, an important detail for anyone avoiding pork or dairy.

There is a dessert cart, but dessert is not listed among the accompaniments included with a prime rib dinner. The restaurant also serves wine and cocktails, including classic martinis and Manhattans. Ask about the available desserts, drinks and their prices when ordering.

How much does House of Prime Rib cost?

There is no reliable, current per-cut price list on the restaurant’s online menu. Its OpenTable listing places it in a broad “$50 and over” price category, but that is not a quoted price for any particular dinner. Older menu-price websites show figures that differ from more recent diner reports, so they should not be treated as today’s prices.

For an accurate total, call the restaurant or ask to see the current menu before ordering. Confirm the price of your chosen cut or fish special, then allow for any drinks or dessert, tax and tip. Do not assume the children’s meal or any extra serving has the same price or availability shown on an older online listing.

Are calorie counts available?

The restaurant does not publish calorie totals for its cuts or complete dinners on the online menu. A dependable calorie figure cannot be calculated from the cut’s name alone: the amount of beef served, the fat on a particular slice and how much of each accompaniment a diner eats all matter. Cream, bacon, gravy, dressing, potato toppings, drinks and dessert can add substantially to a meal. If you need detailed nutrition or allergen information, contact the restaurant before your visit rather than relying on an unofficial estimate.
