Located at Hughes Center since 1997 Lawry’s The Prime Rib can safely be described as a Las Vegas icon, and although both Dallas and Beverly Hills have outposts that does nothing to dampen an Art Deco dining room and service on par to what one will find at some of The Strip’s top Steakhouses.
Known for Meats carved tableside from gleaming carts, though Certified Angus Steaks and fresh Seafood are also available, Lawry’s experience begins with check-in at the hostess’ podium, a trip to the lounge favored by some while most won’t wish to delay the main event.
Lavish without being stuffy, curved banquettes and tables each available, guests dine in a lively environment fueled by Wine or Cocktails poured shortly after the arrival of warm Sourdough Bread.
Smart to order some starters, though those seeking lunch in under an hour could surely achieve such with Salad, a Sandwich or Prime Rib plus sides, Lawry’s Shrimp & Corn & Jalapeno Fritters outpace Crabcakes with Remoulade while the “Famous” Spinning Salad is a polarizing experience mostly thanks to the inclusion of Beets.
Offering Roast Beef as a full-Dinner or a la carte, the former inclusive of Salad, Mashed Potatoes and overcooked Yorkshire Pudding, the quality of Lawry’s Prime Rib is evident in terms of taste, texture and appearance while additional sides range from luxurious Creamed Corn and Spinach to fairly mundane Fries.
Not forgetting extra Au Jus, nor sizzling Mushrooms and Whipped Cream Horseradish for fans, Desserts come at the bargain price of $10 each for Coconut Banana Cream Pie that is heavy on the Cream plus seasonal English Trifle and Sticky Toffee Pudding better than one will get from Gordon Ramsay.
FOUR AND A HALF STARS: With locations in Beverly Hills, Dallas and Las Vegas Lawry’s The Prime Rib is less a chain than the likes of most “celebrity chef” Restaurants on The Strip. It is also a lot more honest. 25 years serving Prime Rib, Prime Angus Beef Steaks, Classic Sides and Cocktails in an Art Deco room with great service is about as simple as it gets these days and “what you see is what you get” pays dividends.
RECOMMENDED: Shrimp & Corn & Jalapeno Fritters, Iron Skillet Mushrooms, Diamond Jim Brady Cut Prime Rib, Creamed Corn, Creamed Spinach, Sticky Toffee Pudding, English Trifle.
AVOID: Yorkshire Pudding was nearly burned to a crisp.
TIP: Skip the Valet and walk twenty feet from complimentary Self-Parking.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.
