    We love sitting at the bar. You can choose from the main menu or the bar menu which includes a fabulous cheeseburger, steak sandwich, or the excellent prime rib dip. Don’t skip their onion rings. The drinks are made with precision by the talented staff. My husband loved the soft shell crabs. Buzz’s salad is a great starter. Their hot fudge sundae is a dream.

    I expect at a steakhouse for steak to be the star - my filet was overcooked and tough (I ordered medium) it was definitely more towards well done. The server was horrible - he said something vulgar to me and we were appalled. Definitely will not go back or recommend - unfortunate for such an old restaurant.

    Excellent meal for our 46th wedding anniversary. Jimbo was an awesome server. The roasted oysters were a great starter. Couldn’t have the toasted baguette slices because they weren’t gluten free. Would have loved dipping them in the butter garlic. Schar gluten free baguette would have been great with this. We both had prime rib with was perfect and the fresh corn. Crème Brûlée for dessert was done perfectly. 3rd time here.

    Always impeccable ambience with outstanding, first rate service (PR waitstaff are refreshingly professional), serving perfectly prepared classic foods. We always have a wonderful time, and enjoy leaving Timonium behind for a lovely night of grace, ambience and total satisfaction

    We came here for my husband's birthday--we're about to have our first kid, so we wanted to do something special as our last date night for the foreseeable future. The ambiance here was great--felt very reminiscent of an older time with jazzy live music playing. Not dated, just classic. Our server, Jimbo, was excellent and interactive. He was kind and funny with great suggestions. The food was really good and we ordered way too much, but don't hate leftovers. We split a wedge salad to start, and then had a "potato parade" (as Jimbo called it) with our steaks--potato skins and potatoes au gratin. The potato skins are a cannot miss. We ended with chocolate mousse cake and creme brulee- both excellent.

    I was really looking forward to dining at The Prime Rib in Baltimore, but my recent experience was unfortunately disappointing. When we were finally taken to our table after our wait, it felt like an afterthought—placed awkwardly in the middle of a walkway, making the space feel cramped and uncomfortable. The chairs didn’t match the rest of the dining room and looked like they had been pulled from storage last minute. The table itself was also quite small compared to others, and we were seated right next to a dusty picture frame, which definitely detracted from the atmosphere. Given the restaurant’s reputation, I expected much better attention to detail and hospitality. While I can’t speak to the food in this review, the overall seating and welcome experience left a poor impression. Hoping this was just an off night, but it didn’t meet the standard one would expect from a place like this.
