Prime Steakhouse 109 West Joliet Street, Crown Point, IN 46307

"Made reservations for 8pm showed up 15mins early and took an additional 25mins to get seated they were super busy due to dinner time rush and it was a Saturday. The food was amazing! I do wish the portions were a little bigger personally as in the sides. I had the Aged 20oz Bone in Ribeye medium rare and was cooked perfectly and you have to ask for the aged meat keep that in mind. With a side of garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and a big pretzel as an appetizer. All in all, a good experience considering this place came highly recommended and was an hour drive one way to try them out. The only complaint is that the building appears to be shared with the upstairs being another separate restaurant. And from what I experienced that this places popularity has outgrown the size of the building. This being said, I didn't care for the seating arrangement set up at all personally and you feel crammed in like a concert. For instance, we got stuck in the doorway due to people piling in and it made the wait that much more uncomfortable and even sitting at the bar didn't help to be honest. The table we were seated at honestly was a 2 person table on the isleway and coming from someone who did floor plans you should put your bigger tables for bigger parties near the isles and not couples tables in my opinion as it helps with the traffic flow and your severs. Felt more like more of an upscale restaurant than casual dining, but no big deal. I come for the food! Would have given them 5 stars if it wasn't for the wait with making reservations and the seating feeling so cramped to be honest. All this place is missing in my opinion is a bigger building honestly and I can't be mad about that but it does effect the service and experience in my opinion and that's all it is a opinion. If you want a good meal you will find one here!!!"

"First time ever trying this place, and let me tell you, I was highly impressed! It's definitely worth the hour drive. The one and only downfall was the wait of 30 minutes even though we had reservations. Other than that, the entire remainder of our time, there was a memorable one. Our server, Heather, was the best I have had in a long time. She was fantastic!! Our drinks never went low, we never needed a thing, we didn't feel rushed, she was always full of smiles, and she even joked a bit with my shenanigans. The food was mouthwatering! The house pretzel and cheese were amazing. Even the wedges were made to perfection. Had just enough crisp and fluff combination. The steaks were made perfectly as well. Nothing at all to say bad about the food, service, or atmosphere. We will definitely be back."

"Phenomenal food, beautiful restaurant, and top notch service! Our waitress, Tiffany, was the best! The steak is quality, cooked to perfection, and almost melts in your mouth. Do NOT skip appetizers, drinks, and desserts. There is nothing you could order here and not be 100% satisfied with. Come celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and have wonderful date nights here. Worth every penny."

"Came here to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday; this was my 3rd time here throughout the years In years past I've gotten the ribeye and can say it was the best I've ever had. Tonight however was hit and miss. I ordered the rack of lamb and would give it 8.5 out of 10 stars. 3 people including my wife had the perch and they all said it was overcooked. The kids burgers were huge, but also $12. The house salads were very underwhelming for this kind of restaurant, but the dressings were good. Be careful of what steak you order, it might say $50 on the menu, but if it's dry aged it will cost you $80. Overall, prime has a great atmosphere with prices a little on the high end. Also with a large # of people waiting to be seated, we got the stare down to leave, which was semi understandable, but we had reservations and it was a party."

"The food was phenomenal! From the drinks to the dessert. Filets were cooked to perfection. Gets pretty loud when it's a full house. Really enjoyed our meals though. Will definitely be back"
