San Mateo Prime

First time here. We came here with some friends to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary ????????, we were not disappointed. Food was delicious be service ???? was great & attentive. We all had something different & tasted each others. I recommend this place highly!!!

It was alright. Went for my 29th and got the prime rib. Definitely not better than HPR but that’s a tough comparison. I’d also choose broadway prime over them due to service. The ambiance is usually quiet and dim. Reasonably priced for the usual meat and sides.

This place is alright. I came here with my family for the holidays. I wish the staff was a little more attentive. I think my food was just okay. Garlic mashed potato could of used a little more garlic flavor. My meat was good but I’ve had better. Parking was a breeze with street parking and a garage located near by.

Came here to celebrate the holidays with my cousin. Easy place to find, but parking could be challenging. We both ordered their signature prime, medium rare, with cream corn and garlic mash. The meat was good and portions were good but it was not as rare as we expected. The cream corn was alright, nothing to brag home about. There's definitely something missing. The mash was good but could use more garlic and portion was also insufficient. I did enjoy the sauce, wish their service was more attentive about additional sauce.

We decided on this place based on a yelp review that said you only come here if you can't get a reservation at house of prime rib (HPR). I do agree, but perhaps a couple more backups (whichever they may be, I'm curious to know) after HPR before coming here.

It's hard to visit this spot without comparing it to House of Prime Rib so let's get that out of the way - HOPR is way better.

That said, San Mateo Prime is way more reasonably priced and more low key. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, really tasty, and the popovers were HUGE. I missed some of the pomp around the table-mixed salad and meat carved right from the cart that you get at HOPR, but at $75 each (with tip and a drink or two) it's hard to complain!
