The new Philadelphia restaurant will join existing Prime Rib locations in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, including one at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.
The Prime Rib name was dropped from that location, and it has since been renamed the Rittenhouse Grille.
The Prime Rib's original Philadelphia restaurant was at the Warwick Hotel, 17th and Locust streets, but it closed in late 2019 after the death of the small steakhouse chain's founder resulted in a split between the owner of the Philadelphia location and the founder's family members, who had taken over the business.
Despite the fog of the coronavirus pandemic, plans continue to take shape for the upcoming Live! Casino & Hotel in South Philadelphia.Ĭasino developer The Cordish Companies announced Monday that The Prime Rib, a former Philadelphia steakhouse that operated in Center City, will join the list of restaurants at the project located near the Sports Complex at 10th Street and Packer Avenue.
