Solidly delicious! The prime rib was great. The Yorkshire pudding and crème brûlée were also standout highlights. In my opinion, it’s not quite on the same level as House of Prime Rib, but it comes pretty close — and it’s way easier to snag a reservation.

Great place! Great prime rib! Very tender and juicy. The crème brulée was top notch! Service was friendly. The restaurant had a nice upscale feel and was well decorated.

When craving for Prime Rib, we would come here to satisfy our cravings. I normally order the San Mateo cut with linguini and cream of corn as my sides. I usually order mother the salmon with cream of spinach and cream of corn as her sides. Their Prime Rib and Salmon was not dry at all. Not as good as House of Prime but not bad. Would definitely come back.

I go to House of Prime Rib at least a few times a year, I found San Mateo Prime to be basically as good!! It’s hard to beat the HOPR ambiance but the food was fantastic and comparable IMO.

They even seared my cut perfectly!

Went here for Valentine’s Day. Had the prime rib dinner which came with three sides, dessert and a puff pastry. Everything was cooked to perfection! The service was exceptional! Can’t wait to go again.

I had an excellent rack of lamb. Before you say anything, I had too much prime rib this holiday season.

Let me start off by saying I will not be comparing them to a certain place in the city. This place has excellent service, a great prime rib, and a lovely atmosphere. Conveniently located in the heart of San Mateo with plenty of easy parking options. It's perfect for a date night, birthday celebration or any special event.

Very good place to go for a nice Prime Rib
Dinner that won’t break the bank. Drinks were excellent, good wine selection by the glass, and prime rib was perfect. Service was attentive & great.

Great food and great service anytime my family and I come to eat dinner here. The staff is always friendly and we never get overcharged any ridiculous gratuity fee like in other restaurants. Definitely coming back for future celebrations!

1st time here, food was delicious, staff was very friendly!!! Ordered our dishes, with a bottle of wine. The meat was on point. No idea why I've never been here before, but definitely coming back.
