Family-owned and operated steakhouse, Lawry’s Prime Rib, has been serving steak and seafood in Addison since 1983.

The brand debuted its first location in Beverly Hills in 1938 where only one entree was served — roasted prime rib with Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes. It expanded to a second outpost in Chicago (now closed), then Dallas and Las Vegas in the U.S. Several locations are still open in Asia.
