    Excellent service from Mark and Bill. Shrimp cocktail and crabcake appetizers perfect per usual. Prime rib delicious. Another memorable anniversary.

    I was really looking forward to dining at The Prime Rib in Baltimore, but my recent experience was unfortunately disappointing. When we were finally taken to our table after our wait, it felt like an afterthought—placed awkwardly in the middle of a walkway, making the space feel cramped and uncomfortable. The chairs didn’t match the rest of the dining room and looked like they had been pulled from storage last minute. The table itself was also quite small compared to others, and we were seated right next to a dusty picture frame, which definitely detracted from the atmosphere. Given the restaurant’s reputation, I expected much better attention to detail and hospitality. While I can’t speak to the food in this review, the overall seating and welcome experience left a poor impression. Hoping this was just an off night, but it didn’t meet the standard one would expect from a place like this.

    Has been my fav for years but really slipped in quality all around. Drinks were not well done, service was nice but not great, some of the food was cold! I want to love it as a long time customer - but there are so many other options now. Not sure I’ll ever go back.

    The Prime Rib has been our top choice for exceptional dining for 50 years. Bobby, our favorite waiter, was attentive and efficient and provides excellent service.

    I took my wife here for her birthday dinner. First thing first, they need to get the flying gnats under control. I felt like I was itching soon as I left there. My service was ok, and I believe the waiter was nice, but didn’t check on us to make sure we was good. The food was the only thing good, but definitely not for the price. Definitely my first and last time there. Some people might think it’s a fancy restaurant, but it’s just a high priced restaurant for no reason.
