First off, ignore bad reviews on Lawry's. People who don't like stuffy dining or spending more than $20 on a meal shouldn't go to big event restaurants like this. This is the most popular "special occasion" spot in all of L.A. But Forget all that.
I first went to Lawry's at age 7. Since then, I've known what perfect Prime Rib should taste like. 30 years and hundreds of Prime Rib plates later, no one has ever approached Lawry's quality. Prime Rib anywhere else is always such a huge disappointment. If you don't like the Prime Rib here, you just don't get it.
Lawry's is phenomenally crowded on weekends and holidays. Get a reservation and you almost never wait more than 15 minutes. They have a fantastic bar and lounge to wait in anyway. Grab a cocktail and prepare for serious Prime Rib experience.
Pros: Best Prime Rib in USA, Hardcore Event Dining, Old School Kitsch
Cons: Always a Wait, Get a Reservation, Dummy
