These steakhouses pair tender, slow-roasted prime rib with crispy fried onions.
If you love prime rib and onion rings, you probably already know that it isn’t easy to find them both on the menu at your favorite. Prime rib, a specialty cut, isn’t a common offering because it requires complex preparation and cooking. And onion rings aren’t quite as popular as other sides like French fries or mashed potatoes. Still, a handful of places let you order delicious slow-roasted meat and fried onions. Here are 5 steakhouse chains with the best prime rib and onion rings, according to diners.
Lawry’s The Prime Rib

Lawry’s The Prime Rib has delicious prime rib. “I used to work at a Lawry’s location and we were allowed a free meal at the time and man… getting prime rib or the roast beef with some mac and cheese and broccoli was so good. Even their salads. Nothing could go wrong there! They literally made the prime ribs over night, slow cooking,” says a Redditor. “Best prime rib I have ever had. The meat was succulent and soft with limited fat/tendons. I order a medium rare, and it was just that. Flavoring was delicious, just enough seasoning,” a TripAdvisor reviewer said. While onion rings aren’t a standard item, diners order their famous “Crispy Onions” seasoned with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt as a side.

The “hidden gem of Texas Roadhouse” is the prime rib, writes one fan. “Great flavor, and it’s way more consistent than the steaks in terms of quality and doneness. I’ve been eating it for several years and it’s great. One of my favorite meals out from a chain.” Another recommends a side of creamy horseradish, “and save one of those rolls for dessert and dip in that horseradish au jus. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten. Perfect blend of savory and sweet.” While there are no onion rings, The Cactus Blossom is fried onion deliciousness. “A thing of beauty,” a Redditor says. “One of the greatest apps of all time,” another exclaims.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
