Richard and Robin do "Date Night." Where is the best Prime Rib? My top picks.

I asked Robin yesterday if our relationship was in need of a "Date Night" we have heard and witnessed couples doing. She said sure, so I said I wasn't sure yet who I was going to take out on my date. She had a good laugh. We went to Bear River for their Prime Rib night. $15.95! My top Prime Rib picks:

5. Sizzler. The salad bar is good at least.

4. Blue Lake Casino. What is with this change they have going. I don't like it!

3. Adels. Always consistent at least.

2. Bear River Casino. Lots of fixings, but the smoke in the Casino can gag you.

1. Sea Grill. I know their specialty is fish, but right now they are the tops in Humboldt County that I have tried.

Anyone knows of better places out there in the County? We could use another good steak house with Prime Rib at the top of the menu!

Gotta put both the AA and Shamus T-Bone's on the list here.

Shamus T-Bone's is worth the drive. Make a reservation.

AA doesn't serve Prime Rib. I have their rib-eye. Does Shamus have Prime Rib? I heard they were moving to Eureka. Any truth to that?

Shamus T is in fact building a new restaurant in Eureka, but it may take a while. They have a spot right on the waterfront just south of the Bayshore Mall, but as far as I know haven't even broken ground yet. The owner used to be a contractor so he plans on doing it himself as much as possible.

The title of this thread really should be:

"Richard and Prime Rib do "Date Night." Where is my wife?"

I don't know about prime rib, but there is a new best burger in town. Try the Surfside Burger Shack on 5th Street in Eureka.

I went to the Surfside Burger shack and was not overly impressed. I will have to try again. I need the GMO's in my beef. That grass fed beef don't do it for me.

Sunset Restaurant at the Casino

Red Lion also

...Top of my list would be Shamus T-Bones

Try the Ivanhoe in Ferndale for Prime Rib, consistent and very good.

Still missing OH's. Nothing compares to it. But for now I would have to chose the prime rib at Sunset (Cher-ae-heights)

Had dinner this evening at Shamus's and noticed that they serve prime rib,on the weekends only though.

Not sure about Prime Rib... but one of the best ribeyes I had was at the Steelhead Lodge in Klamath.

Not only was it tinged ever-so-slightly from the real wood smoke and watchful eye of the pit master, I was more impressed when it came to the table still sizzling, smoking, crackling, and bubbling hot on the plate. It must have been attentively plated and served within seconds of being done. Absolutely excellent in every way.

Go with the sage advice from Eel River Ernie, he won't steer you wrong with all things Eel Valley related.

Ferndale, Richard!
Women love Ferndale! This would be the perfect place for a local getaway for you guys.
