While browsing Resy for a nearby spot to take my husband for his birthday, I came across KC Steakhouse. Based on the glowing reviews, I booked a reservation—and I’m so glad I did! From the moment we arrived, the experience was great. We were kindly asked where we preferred to sit, and the hostess suggested a lovely table by the windows. Our server, Evan, was extremely polite and attentive throughout the evening. As we were looking over the menu and enjoying our appetizer, the owner stopped by our table. I mentioned it was our first time there and how surprised I was that we had such an amazing steakhouse so close to home. When I told him we were celebrating my husband’s birthday, he generously sent over two complimentary desserts—such a thoughtful gesture! The ambiance was lovely, the service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely divine. We’ll definitely be coming back. So happy I discovered this gem of a steakhouse!
Food was good, lobster soup had good flavor but didn't see any lobster. Blacked pork chops were very good. Had great flavor and tender. NY strip was cooked perfectly needed a little salt to bring out the flavor. Service was great very pleasant and quick Service.
Our server was Michael, he helps us alot on our menu. I got the prefix menu for only $39 and it was worth every penny. PEI mussels/ 8oz water lobster tail w/ vegetables & mashed potatoes. Also a top notch of brownie sundae with ice cream. That was so rich and chocolate. Yummy. My man got grilled crusted shrimp w tangy sauce and KC burger with crispy potatoes fries/ chips. Also I wanted a fruity drink and he recommended the blackberry smash and it's was great. We had warm bread with buttery garlic spread for starters. The seats were comfortable. I recommend this place. Thank you for serving us Michael.
We have been dining at KC Prime Lawrenceville since it first opened, over 20 years ago, but didn't visit it for eight years. Now, we were back and left it as happy and very satisfied customers! First is the location. Subdued lighting, and a cozy yet upscale ambiance; the interior decor is dominated by high-quality wood. The booth section guarantees almost complete privacy. The prices - the steaks and prime cuts are as expensive as everywhere else now, all are in the $40s to $50s range. There are more affordable options, such as pasta dishes, sandwiches, and daily deals, such as half-price appetizers, $1 oysters on Fridays (great quality big-sized oysters, by the way), half-price pasta, etc. The quality of the food, its preparation, the presentation - all was very good. Every dish we have tried we rated very highly. Lots of parking is available. The reservations could be made via Resy on the restaurant's website. Highly recommended.
Had a great time at KC Prime. It was a random stop that didn't disappoint. Their happy hour was great and very reasonable ($1 fresh Oyster and half price appetizers). Oh and drinks were cheap too but I did ask for a shot in my drink bc it tasted like all mixers. But my follow up drink was made to perfection. I'll definitely be returning
