The Scene – A pair of brass lions guards the expansive main dining room, dominated by dark wood, tapestry-backed booths, chandeliers and oversize brass-studded leather chairs. Frequent camera flashes signal birthdays and anniversaries. – – The Food – Choose from six juicy aged and roasted prime-rib cuts, seasoned with Lawry's salt and sliced to order from roll-top stainless-steel carts. Bone-in options tend to add fat, so if you're looking for a plateful, try the "beef bowl" cut. The Lawry cut (with bone or without) is a happy medium. Whipped-cream horseradish…

Superb

Best prime rib in the city without a doubt, been going there off and on for years (due to the price). I have no idea how people could give this place a bad review, its simply fantastic.
Go there during Christmas time and you'll never forget it!
- Pros: Best prime rib in the city... World?
- Cons: Very old-timey feel... Little outdated maybe...

go somewhere else for steak

I saw lawry's on the food network and i've wanted to go there for the prime rib for the longest time. i open the menu and you pretty much have no choice but to order the prime rib. we get the California cut knowing it would be the smallest cut but i figured for $34 it can't be that bad (they don't show you or describe what you are getting btw). I get a prime rib as thin as my pinky and mashed potato's that taste like it came from a box. i didn't even get a choice on the salad dressing they just bring you the spinning salad which is just a bowl in a bowl of ice. we were all so upset and eating our dinner feeling ripped off because we know we could have gotten a better steak anywhere else in chicago. in short WASTE OF YOUR TIME AND MONEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A REAL STEAK
- Pros: Beautiful place and service is great
- Cons: the food was over priced for what they served
