"There is no denying that Lawry’s Prime Rib is a chain. But this 70-year-old steak house is a Beverly Hills original and eating a dinner here is a major rite-of-passage in this town. Though the menu has expanded over the years, you should still focus on the prime rib and that famous spinning salad (yes, they actually spin it while they make it). If your parents are in town and you want to show them how far you’ve come in life, Lawry’s is your move." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"In reality, Lawry’s is the steakhousiest steakhouse of all steakhouses. But we’re putting it on here because once you sit down, it doesn’t feel anything like one. The gigantic space on La Cienega is like eating dinner inside of a cruise ship - complete with giant booths, oil paintings of nondescript monarchs, and a gleaming prime rib cart that roams around the dining room. Yes, it’s gimmicky and dated, but it’s also completely self-aware and fun as hell. Also, that prime rib is famous for a reason." - brant cox
"Lawry’s is available for carryout and delivery. They’re also selling cocktail kits (like martinis) to go." - adrian kane
"It’s common knowledge that the spirit world feels extremely comfortable on a cruise ship, so don’t be surprised if you see a few specters floating around Lawry’s. This Beverly Hills original has been open for more than 80 years, but today looks more like a 1980s cruise liner sailing into the Gulf of Mexico. There are giant ballrooms filled with ornate chandeliers, massive round tables, and golden carts of prime rib zipping past your table. It’s a classic LA dining experience and one that will only be heightened by a high-heeled shadow in the corner." - brant cox
"A classic Restaurant Row destination, Lawry’s is still going strong after more than 80 years. With spinning salads to start and juicy prime rib carved tableside, this is an excellent place for large parties and celebrations. The old-school dining room, accommodating service, and outsized portions make it one of the best crowd-pleasers in town. No prime rib dinner is complete without its Yorkshire pudding and a strong, icy cold martini." - Matthew Kang
