Lawry's The Prime Rib - Dallas

It's bittersweet to see you go. We truly enjoyed the food and the service; Travis made us feel right at home. It was wonderful to see you all, and we look forward to visiting you at your next place. It's incredible how many lives you’ve impacted—so many people hugged you and came out to show their appreciation on your last day.

I had a wonderful evening at Lawry's on what will be their second-to-last night of serving delicious dinners. The prime rib was, as always, absolutely perfect. I’m really sorry to see Lawry's Dallas closing after tomorrow night.

Lawry's has been one of my favorite places to eat for many years, but last night I had the worst dining experience I've ever encountered at a restaurant. The quality of the food has noticeably declined; the prime rib was so fatty that I couldn't even cut through it with a knife. When we asked the manager for a different cut of meat, they were quite rude. Even if they weren't closing, I don't think I would ever go back due to the way management treated a loyal customer.

Usually eat at dinner time and service, food and atmosphere are excellent! Since the closing announcement, we were only able to get lunch reservations, and that is a way different setup. We did not enjoy this lunch setup. We had to wait in a line to get served. Not the experience we were expecting. Don't recommend it. The service was bad today. Our waiter was young and must not be too experienced and we could tell by how bad he was at serving us. The busboy did better at helping us than he did. The other tables around us were served much better by a different waiter. We went to say goodbye to a wonderful place, but our last meal there was not a joyful final experience.

Lawry's has been a staple restaurant for me and my family since I was very young. I visited the one in Los Angeles on a regular basis. It had not visited any other of their locations since I left California 15 years ago. I was saddened to find out that they were going out of business so I visited the one here in Dallas. I can see now why they're going out of business. The service was terrible. The staff was different. The food was mediocre at best and of course it came with the high price. It said to see that such a hallmark restaurant chain is going out this way. I do not recommend that you go.
