Aaron Motsinger: Anything with their rare roast beef is going to blow you away...provided that you like meat, of course.
Monica Lo: Best roast beef sandwich I've ever had - sliced thin, served bloody rare and covered in a horseradish cream cheese. Incredible.
Brian Strauss: Really hard to not get the roast beef. But the meatloaf sandwich that is occasionally on the menu is stellar.

Rudy C: Dying to try the roast beef. I'm planning on going next week. =D Read more.
John Mundy: Get the brisket or roast beef. Stay away from the meatball sandwich - 2 meatballs, sauce & bread. Decent pumpkin pie.
ScottySauce: Hot roast beef sandwiches, open faced turkey sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy and one of the best sloppy joe's I have ever had in my life.

Honza Ustohal: Definitely try Ron. The combination of roast beef, avocado, and jalapeños is amazing...

Valentin Saal: Really good prime rib! Though don't spect an steak, it's more like a roast beef.
Eater: There is no more accurate way to describe House of Prime Rib than by its apropos name — it serves one thing and one thing only on its menu, and it does that roast beef very, very well. Read more.
