4.5 stars. The Rib Room is in the back of Meat and Potatoes restaurant. Its menu focuses on prime rib that is aged in-house. Please see my attached photos for the other menu items in February 2026. My husband and I had a reservation for dinner. I was one of the first customers to give my name to the seating host. He, however, called the other customers before me, and my husband and I were left there standing. The seating host had to ask for my name again, so apparently he had forgotten about me. The seating hostess looked too casual in her jeans. The experience got better. The room contained only 16 seats so was quiet. Throughout our dinner, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. Our appetizer was Bone Marrow, which tasted very rich with toast. For the main course, my husband's 12-ounce Queen Cut Prime Rib was juicy and flavorful, especially with the accompanying horseradish, beef au jus, and Yorkshire pudding. He called the prime rib a "dinosaur of a steak," and he had leftovers to take home. My special of Lobster Thermidor was fewer ounces but was also very flavorful. We also enjoyed our sides of Truffle Fries and Creamed Spinach. For dessert the Baked Alaska was a show for both our eyeballs (tall flames of fire!) and tastebuds. We did not order any alcohol. The total price for our six foods, state tax, and credit-card fee was $237 plus a tip. read more

Rib Room is tucked away inside Meat & Potatoes and their focus is on prime rib! The space is small with 16 seats and the red leather and vintage wallpaper make it a whole upscale vibe. We got a prime rib along with their Delmonico special of the day and a bunch of sides to share. Everything was so flavorful, decadent, and delicious! We ended the meal with their baked Alaska which is a showstopper of a dessert. Our service was fantastic and everyone in our group kept raving about how great our meal was. Put this on your to go list if you haven't been yet! read more

I recently went to the Rib Room for my best friend's birthday and we had such a pleasant dining experience! The atmosphere is so nice, intimate, private, and lux. The party next to us finished their meal and left shortly after we got seated so we had the whole room to ourselves! It was so nice! Our server Rob was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. We had prime rib as well as a bunch of sides like Lobster mac & cheese and brussel sprouts. I loved the wine here, and it went nicely with my caesar salad as a starter. I will definitely be back! read more

It's a gorgeous room inside Meat and Potatoes dedicated to serve only prime ribs. Go there if you love prime rib because it's one of the best you can find anywhere. The service was amazing. Nice, friendly, attentive, and timely. The food was scrumptious. In addition to the prime rib, we ordered bone marrow and fries. I especially recommend not to forget the dessert. It's so tasty. Overall, we enjoyed dining in such a beautiful place with great service and amazing food. The price was very high but it was worth it. read more

Rib Room is a secret restaurant inside Meat and Potatoes in downtown Pittsburgh. It specializes only in prime rib. If you don't like prime rib you should not go to the Rib Room. With that being said, this might be the best prime rib I've ever had. My family and I started with a wedge salad and Caesar salad. They were fine, but generally a waste of time. We asked for the sourdough, which come to find out we didn't need because popovers were coming. However, the sourdough was excellent. Like I stated above, two of us had the prime rib and it was a 10/10. One of us isn't a prime rib fan and got the rigatoni alla vodka. They said it good, but do not get if you don't like a spicy/hot taste. We didn't get dessert, but the baked Alaska seemed to be a crowd pleasure. For the sides we had truffle fries and mashed potatoes, both of which we enjoyed but weren't mind blowing. The service was excellent and on point, but be warned this is an extremely expensive restaurant and should really be for a special occasion. read more

Literally the best prime rib I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I had the "queen" size shown here (husband got a king cut). The restaurant is located directly behind the bar at Meat & Potatoes, which is sooo cozy (it gives speakeasy vibes). There are only 16 chairs, so it fills up quickly. Drinks are pretty pricey, but it's a whole experience here and well worth it. Most of the apps were also meat, which we thought was a bit much given what our entrees were, so we opted in for the fries as an appetizer and I SWEAR they are the best fries in the city (salty crispy shoestring!). We didn't have room for dessert, but it looked fab (baked Alaska). Can't wait to go back! read more

This place was awesome! Brought my husband here for a date night / delayed birthday celebrating. The exclusivity of the Rib Room is awesome and feels like such an intimate experience.

I've been to rib room now 4 times, each one special and just as good, if not better than the last. The coolest little speakeasy vibe of a space with some amazing food. The service is impeccable and you better save room for that baked Alaska. It's SO good! The rigatoni - has my heart. I love everything about this space, especially for a special occasion with someone you love! read more

Finally!! In a city full of steak places, can't believe it took so long to create a prime rib restaurant. This small space is located in the back of meat and potatoes, and only has a few tables. Definitely worth checking out if you're a prime rib fan, perfectly cooked to medium rare with yummy horseradish, and au jus. Probably skip this if you're not a beef eater or prefer your beef well done, as this is a one entree menu. They do offer some of the best appetizers from the meat and potato menu, like the beef carpaccio, which has a nice Southeast Asian flair to it. If the lobster Thermidor is available definitely try it, recommend going on the earlier seating for your first experience to try this dish as they do sometimes sell out. read more

Rib Room - Lobster thermidor - Steakhouses Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Totally lives up to the hype! Took my best friend to Rib Room to celebrate her birthday on a Thursday evening (be sure to have a reservation). The space itself is quaint and intimate. We started with the bone marrow, crab Louie, and a bottle of Cabernet. Both apps were incredibly flavorful and the portions were good. We split the King's Cut and the lobster mac for our main course. The beef was perfectly cooked, and the lobster Mac was delicious. We ended our meal with the Baked Alaska which was a delight from start to finish. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu (and hoping they bring back the Lobster Thermidor)! read more

Sometimes the wait is worth it, other times not so much. We've anticipated our RR reservation for over 2 months. The space sits only 16 people, so reservations are few and far between (though half of the space was vacant at our 8:00pm reservation). When walking in through Meat and Potatoes, I immediately regretted our dinner decision. The RR is isolated in the back of the restaurant without the typical hustle and bustle of M&P. Something that may be great for a business dinner or when using the full space, but not what I am looking for on a date night. Ordering cocktails took a while, but we settled on the RR old fashioned for him and a dirty martini for me. We decided to split everything: Caesar salad, spicy rigatoni, queen cut, collard greens, and truffle fries. Both the Caesar salad and the spicy rigatoni came split, which was appreciated. With our main course, I opted for a Super Tuscan wine, which I typically love but this one fell short. The Caesar, rigatoni, and truffle fries were standouts, while the prime rib was a bit over-hyped (along with the whole experience). When it came time to order dessert, something I was originally very excited for, we were just ready to leave. The ambiance may be what some like, but I would much rather be in a M&P setting than the RR setting. read more

Returned to RR after several friends raved about it and I'm delighted to say that the prime rib was everything it wasn't when we first visited. And my husband was also able to get an end cut, which they didn't offer before. The beef was perfectly seasoned, served nice and warm, the au jus was a real jus, not a thickened gravy, and the horseradish sauce was perfect with none of the odd sweetness from before. Hooray! read more

I'm Torn... the prime rib was just bait... not all that good...seriously tho, I liked the experience, but I was resentful towards the prime rib... and then, after being placed into the back room of meat and potatoes for 2 hours, I learned things... which made this feel like more of a social experiment than a dining room. You're isolated and desensitized and hopefully you came there with some friends because you will be graced with personal insight... hopefully you do not judge yourself too harshly and embrace the time you have in that BOX::: Everyone will have a different experience and inconsistency needs to be embraced here read more

Rib Room - Where's the meat????? - Steakhouses Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Bottom line- you're paying a lot of money for very good food. To me, there are exceptional restaurants in the Pittsburgh area at a fraction of the price that dollar for dollar are much more worth it. We started with cocktails which again were very good but for $16 a piece, it seems overkill. Next was the foie gras and the wagyu carpaccio. Both were exceptional. Very well done! The foie gras was rich and delicate with a phenomenal taste. The carpaccio was sliced perfectly. Crunch and spice accompanied every bite as well. As a side, we had the Brussels which were decent. Nothing special at all about them in taste but I was surprised at the generous serving size. The feature item- prime rib. The queens cut. While the presentation totally lacked, literally the slab of meat on the plate, the taste was there. Seasoning was great on the outside and it's cooked perfectly. The jus had a smooth consistency yet rich in flavor. The highlight might have been was the horseradish sauce. I have never been a horseradish guy but I almost licked the serving clean. Yorkshire pudding was forgettable- no real comment. Not for me. Outside of the food, being in the back room there with 6 tables total was sort of weird. Oddly quiet and forcibly intimate, I prefer a more casual ambiance. I felt like I had to whisper. Man. All in all, I probably won't be back because it's not something I typically budget for. But it was a nice treat. It's a meal I'll remember but I can't rate it 5 stars because it cost so, so much. I have a hard time believing the market cost of the items is anywhere close to what they push on the customer. Margin must be out of this world. My concern was paying this much and leaving hungry but that wasn't the case. I don't know, as I'm typing this it's probably 4.5 stars if I could do that. Go try it for a special occasion. read more

Outstanding! The Rib Room is a small room in the back of Meat & Potatoes. There is very limited seating which enables the restaurant to provide special attention to every diner. One of the cocktails was so unusual that we asked about an ingredient. The manager came to our table and we had an informative conversation. The Prime Rib is delicious. We are very glad that our server suggested that we share a Prime Rib serving as that we could also order the Lobster Thermidor. The Baked Alaska was also very good. read more

What an absolutely delicious birthday dinner! To celebrate another trip around the sun, I wanted to keep the celebrations small this year. My husband took me out for a delicious prime rib dinner at the Rib Room and it impressed me. Since we wanted to try so many things, we opted to split our items. We started with a wedge salad which had Roquefort, bacon lardons, and a soft boiled egg. A perfect bite to start the meal! Next was the Lobster Thermidor. While a smaller sized lobster (about 1lbs) it was packed with flavor. It really reminded me of home on the east coast. For our main course, we shared the Queen Cut prime rib served with horseradish sauce, au jus, and Yorkshire pudding. Our sides were creamed spinach and baked potato. The prime rib was cooked to perfection. I'm not a big red meat eater, but this was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and juicy. Combined with the horseradish sauce, that was one of my favorite bites. Oh and the Yorkshire pudding to sop up the juices - yum! Instead of a birthday cake, we shared the Baked Alaska. Now that's a showstopper! The sour cherries and rum went perfectly with the dessert too. I'd never had a baked Alaska before, but I'd definitely have it again. We ended our meal with a cup of La Colombe coffee and a toast to a new birth year. Starting off the year this good... I hope the rest of the year lives up to this night out. We'll definitely be back, Rib Room. I'll wear my stretchy pants, too! read more

The Yorkshire pudding was wonderful. The service. Mediocre. The ambiance. Weird. 16 seats total in the restaurant. We had an 8:00 seating and we were the first to arrive with no one else in the restaurant when we arrived. It sits at the back of the restaurant meat and potatoes. The vibe in meat and potatoes is lively and energetic. In the rib room, the feeling is as though you're waiting in the lobby of a doctor's office. The dining room of the rib room was sterile and quiet. White walls and no music playing. There was no warmth. The waiting room of a doctor's office has more personality than this establishment. We had two choices of how our prime rib could be served as. Rare or well done. Why not medium? That's the only cut that you serve and it was clearly finished off on a pan. It made no sense. The prime rib was meh. Most of the foods were bland. The creamed spinach was bland and not warm. The wedge salad was served with fresh herbs which was nice.... Nearly everything about this place didn't make sense and we had one waiter in the whole back area but multiple servers came in to deliver us our food. Weird is the best word I can use to describe the whole experience and for the prices they charge, the experience did not match. I wouldn't recommend this place nor will I be back. Disappointing. read more

The rib room exceeded my expectations! If you can get a reservation here GRAB IT!!! The food, drinks, and service were exceptional. Hands down the best prime rib I've ever had!

We loved our night here. We booked a couple months ahead to get a day and time that worked well for us and it was a treat when the reminder popped up. We wanted to try a bunch of things and ordered a couple starters (bone marrow and carpaccio) and a bunch of sides. We overestimated our ability and the sizes of the sides. They were all phenomenal but I filled up too soon and saved some of my prime rib to take home. In retrospect eat all the prime rib while fresh and bring sides home! It was still tasty the next day but was perfect when fresh. Service was great and the little back room was a fun unique evening. read more

Our dinner tonight at Rib Room was the best meal we have had in years. The service was amazing, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. My husband and I split the Kings Cut Prime Rib and shared the fries, brussel sprouts and lobster Mac & cheese. We also had the shrimp cocktail as a starter. The Au Jus and House Horseradish was delicious. My husband hates horseradish and tried the sauce and is now a believer. The prime rib was cooked to perfection. The lobster Mac and cheese was so creamy and the lobster was cooked perfectly. Thank you Rib Room for such a wonderful meal for my birthday. Trying to plan when we can come back. read more

The room is nice and cozy. The server was attentive. Unfortunately the food was not good. The prime rib was cold and dry, did not taste high quality. Our prime rib was served and then about 10 minutes later our sides came out. The sides were truffle fries. I feel like the fries were frozen and the baked with truffle seasoning on it. The Brussels were almost burnt. It's too expensive to be sub par. Wish I would have gone to capital grill instead. read more

went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. This was our first time here and we thought it was fantastic. The dining room was small and dimly light and the service felt personal. We each ordered an entree but ended up sharing everything. The kings cut prime rib was 10/10 most tender delicious cut of meat, and the lobster thermidor, equally delicious. read more

Had a lovely evening at Rib Room last night. I have been dying to try this place ever since it opened, it was well worth the wait. Our server was great, the prime rib was incredible but the highlight for me was certainly the bone marrow starter. I've never seen such a large portion of it, we only ended up finishing 2 of the 3 bones. Can't wait to return. read more

Amazing food! With seating for sixteen, in a back room, speak easy, type of space, this is a very cool space for an elevated date night. Service is attentive and friendly, and think all of the fine dining perks (crumb sweeping, constant water filling, new silverware at every course). Element of the night to give your right arm for lobster thermidore (we got the last one and it was AMAZING, I'd suggest going at the 5 PM slot instead of the 8 just for this). The prime rib was also amazing, not, lick the shell clean amazing but very good! The sides (lobster macaroni and creamed spinach) were just okay, creamed spinach was arguably not good at all, but veggies are rarely my favorite. Another miss for me, only one dessert option and it is not an allergen friendly one, that was more of a bummer than anything. Overall, wonderful experience and the taste MOSTLY justifies the steep price tag. Either way, this one is a worth having on your list! read more

Definitely worth checking out- the atmosphere is very intimate and i find the really comforting and different from your everyday restaurant experience. I also really enjoyed to decor- there's a fridge i assume is suppose to be filled with cuts of meat to be looked at during your experience but unfortunately it was left empty. I didn't order the prime rib but the others at my table that did was not impressed at all which is the sole purpose of this restaurant but i did order the lobster that i would say was pretty solid in my opinion along with the truffle fries that were absolutely delicious. Never tried a baked alaska but make sure to save room for dessert and order one i was surprisingly pleased. As for the servers they were very pleasant and accommodating to our party. Overall i would recommend the rib room for the experience alone. read more

Terrible . So dissapointing . For 15 oz of prime rib $79 ++ . The plate was hot but the steak was cold . The lobster mac and cheese with no lobster was hot than the prime rib. Nothing compared to any good prime rib like Lawry's or other steak houses , ruth chris etc. Might as well eat in Capitol Girlle or Mortons and pay that price with satisfaction . read more

Vegetarians beware!! We went to Rib Room for our anniversary last night and had an excellent dinner! It's a 16 seat room in the back of Meat and Potatoes that only serves prime rib and apps/sides. They also have an excellent whiskey selection specific to this room that you can't get at meat and potatoes. The Baked Alaska for dessert is We had: -shrimp cocktail -rigatoni alla vodka -prime rib (includes Jus, Horseradish sauce, and Yorkshire pudding) -we added mushrooms and fried onions -truffle fries -spicy collard greens -baked alaska I highly recommend it, especially as a trendier and less stuffy alternative to a more traditional steakhouse. The server was incredibly knowledgeable about everything on the menu. There's only 16 seats, so you get a lot of attention. read more

Holllly cow! This place is amazing. I consider myself a person who will seek out any place that offers a fantastic meal whatever the price. My boyfriend and I are from out of state visiting friends who had the reservation, so there were four of us. Each night there is an 8pm reservation that has limited, yet intimate seating (16 I believe). You are lead into a room that is on the smaller side with low lighting. There specialty is prime rib but the other options were absolutely delicious. We order several side between the four of us so that we could try the majority of what they had to offer. I opted for the lobster instead of the prime rib because honestly, it's not one of my favorite cuts of meat. Although, I did try it and it was delicious as was the lobster. We also enjoyed the Rigatoni, Crab Louie salad, crab mac and cheese, snap peas, truffle fries and a bottle of wine. The service was of course excellent and everything came in waves. I wanted to try the dessert they offered but I was so full by the end there was no way. I definitely recommend this place. read more

So I was really looking forward to this place. But it was overall a disappointment. There was no ambiance - bright lights, no music.
