text: Is this what it is like to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth I would hate for anyone to be born with a silver spoon in their mouths cuz that sucks Everything just is not as good or enjoyable once you have had the ultimate undeniable best While everyone here is giving Lawrys THE PRIME RIB n stars I am here baffled Perhaps HOPR House of Prime Rib in SF was my silver spoon this entire time Consistently serving juicy tender cuts of premium well aged prime rib with sides that make anything at Lawrys well unworthy of such an upper class palate that belongs to the family of HOPRnnTheir service feels old here as in outdated Whereas HOPR is classic and retains class At Lawrys the female servers look like they jumped right out of our old history textbooks dressed like women from days of the colonies looking like the pilgrim women or even nurses from the s Do you need a flu shot They probably have some in their apron as an add option to your meal Service was friendly but rather inefficient It is hard to explain You just have to try both Lawrys and HOPR to understandnnWhen I hear Lawrys THE PRIME RIB I am literally thinking OMG we need to bow down it is Lawrys THE PRIME RIB god Calling yourself THE Prime Rib kind of gives the sense that there was no one before you no one after you and no one will ever even come close to you But then again the loudest one is usually the weakest one and this was surely the case herennMy prime rib was ordered medium rare My cousin to my right and my best friend to my left also ordered the same It came out more like medium maybe medium well What did not help was that they gave us butter knives to cut into this steak Oh wait I think that was subliminally suppose to tell us that you can cut into this beef like butter Good one guys almost fell for it there but I am from the family tree of HOPR cannot fool me that easily There must be something wrong with the aging process of the prime rib here because it was tough and fibrous to the chew I thought maybe if I ate the outer parts of the rib cut where the fats and tendon are then it would be more tender but no it was rather dry My friend and I went straight to the bone and even that was on the medium side Medium would not be that bad if the beef was aged better for a tastier and softer bite but that not the case I took a couple of bites and left the rest of it there but I ate the mashed potatoes creamed spinach and creamed corn to help soak up the alcohol for the later part of the night With about of the steak still sitting on my plate the bussers and server never asked why I barely touched it as they took it away I did not want to say anything either to be respectful because Lawrys was the bachelors favorite prime rib spot to grub at One thing is for sure though my cousin my best friend and I are taking him to our silver spoon HOPR next week to show him what a great well aged prime rib is supposed to be like We will even throw in an actual steak knife and let him use the butter knife to spread his butter It would not even take the steak for the bachelor to change his allegiance to HOPR Just the warm soft fluffy bread to start would be enoughnnIf Harry Chapin got to eat at HOPR and Lawrys while he was editing his lyrics us s and s babies would probably know the song to go likennAnd the cats in the cradle and HOPR toonLittle boy blue and the man on the moonnWhen you coming home dad I do not know whennWell go to House of Prime Rib then sonnYou know we will have a good rib then
