Pros: Any Prime Rib Cut, Service & Attention To Details. Sergio.
Cons: Frequent waits, even with reservations.
Summary: My mouth was watering in anticipation, after hearing about Lawry's Prime Rib, for the past 5 years. Visions of tall silver carts, spinning salads and slabs of rosy beef danced before my eyes, and our recent trip to Southern California would not be ... read more

Pros: The best prime rib ever, made even more heavenly by the whipped cream/horseradish sauce.
Cons: You'll probably have to pay for valet parking because onstreet spots are hard to find.
Summary: One of my favorite restaurants in Downtown Chicago is Lawry's Prime Rib, where the title meat is truly a carnivore's paradise. While there are a couple of fish dishes on the menu to saite those who want to take a pass on the cow flesh (and, as I'll ... read more

Pros: great prime rib, special occasion dining atmosphere, great service
Cons: creamed spinach is overrated, wait can be long w/o reservations
Summary: I went to Lawry's for the first time 2 weeks ago for an anniversary, and made reservations for 8pm on Saturday night. The Parking: Valet is pretty much your only option. It's $4.50 and most people give $6-10 I think, including tip. Being a ... read more

Pros: great creamed corn
Cons: tough, chewy prime rib not cooked as requested. too expensive for what you get.
Summary: I have dined at Lawry's 3 times and while the first 2 visits (about 5 years ago) were very good, my last visit (last month) was very disappointing. I invited a young couple to celebrate their engagement. Even with reservations (on a sunday evening) we ... read more

Pros: PRIME RIB! Great salads, wonderful service
Cons: Their decor reminds me of a Las Vegas buffet seating area from the 60s.
Summary: For a prime rib lover like me, Lawry's Prime Rib sounded like heaven. I had been hearing about this place for years, but my husband and I never got a chance to go. Finally, for my birthday last year, I told him that I wanted to have my birthday dinner at ... read more

Pros: A Must Eat on my Chicago To Do List
Cons: None
Summary: I first went to Lawry's in 2000 during the Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting. We picked the restaurant based on one of the ads in a tourist magazine in the hotel. I distinctly remember the delicious prime rib that I had that night. I also remember the ... read more

Pros: Great bread and salad. Atmosphere is nicely formal and casual at the same time
Cons: semi-cramped and stuffy, not worth the hefty pricetag, inconsistent
Summary: I was given a $100.00 gift certificate to Lawry’s nearly four months ago and finally decided to put it to use by taking my family out to dinner. I had never been before but according to several different sources it was supposedly THE place to go to in ... read more

Pros: Prime rib and sides are very tasty and well presented.
Cons: The prime rib portions are small--even the Jim Brady cut.
Summary: My wife and I have dined at the Lawry's Prime Rib in Chicago many times and have always been pleased--good food, good service, great ambiance. However, on our much-anticipated visit to Beverly Hills (9/2001) we couldn't have been more disappointed.

Pros: The best prime rib available anywhere
Cons: None
Summary: My husband jokingly (or maybe not) says he believes that if he's really good, there will be a place in heaven just like Lawry's.
I don't feel quite that strongly, but, I've found Lawry's has the best prime rib I've ever had- anywhere.

Pros: They usually provide generous servings and they are famous for their prime rib.
Cons: It was very expensive for what we got. The decor was average...
Summary: Lawrys in L.A. is good. Lawrys in Chicago is good. But Lawrys in Dallas needs some work.
We ate at the Dallas location after having eaten at Lawrys in L.A. and in Chicago and expected the same Lawrys. It wasn't. We ordered prime rib for ... read more

Pros: The best of the beef people!
Cons: This is not for those just our of cardiac care!
Summary: Lawry's restaurants is the same company that makes the seasoned salts and spices. They now have a few select restaurants around the country. And, they are wonderful. They are usually full and the food is excellent. They feature beef - since they are ... read more

Pros: Excellent service, outstanding food.
Cons: None.
Summary: My husband and I visited Lawry's in Las Vegas last year. I had read details about "the dining experience" and wanted a more 'upscale' dinner the mass of buffets found throughout Vegas.
We went later in the evening, about 8:00. I called before we ... read more

Pros: Good food, some interesting service.
Cons: Long wait, and VERY expensive.
Summary: We visited LA about two years ago, and our family took us to Lawry's. Even though I lived in Orange County for four years before I moved to Reno, I'd never been before. What an experience!
First of all, we're not used to waiting very long to ... read more

Pros: Excellent ambiance, great food
Cons: the only menu item is prime rib (not a negative in my book - that's what they are known for)
Summary: This restaurant is a must-see for those from out of town or those new to the local area. Believe me, when you've been once, you'll be sure to go back. Not for vegetarians! Reservations are highly recommended, as this is a popular LA haunt.

Pros: Elegant dining
Cons: Somewhat expensive, menu is small
Summary: I had the opportunity to visit Lawry's back in September when my husband and I visited LA. We were incredible lucky in that a friend was able to take us there and use his expense account, so money was not a real problem.
The decor of this ... read more

Pros: great prime rib
Cons: a bit noisy and a long wait
Summary: This restaurant is great! I have tried prime rib from alot of other "steak houses" and they just don't quite compare to this one. You place your order of prime rib depending on how hungry you are. If I can remember correctly, I always get ... read more

Pros: delicious prime rib

Pros: Accessible, both location and clientele wise, great food
Cons: hard to get a table sometimes, expensive
Summary: One of the most popular restaurants in L.A., easy to get to but hard to get a table in, and where the valet works hard to keep traffic moving. I've never heard a bad word about it, and the food will put a smile on your face.
