Prime Rib is our house specialty. Since 1963, we have served what is arguably the best Prime Rib in the South Bay. We have a loyal following of local regulars and for good reason. The delicious, homestyle, generously portioned food, stiff drinks, and mid-century ambiance make the San Franciscan a unique experience to behold.
Old-timey classic American dining spot starring prime rib with cocktails, live music & karaoke.

This is a great local restaurant for enjoying prime rib. Reservations are accepted by phone only, and walk-in guests should expect over a 30-minute wait. The steak has a deep, rich flavor reminiscent of a long-established steakhouse, and it melts in your mouth the moment you take a bite(medium). Among the steakhouses I’ve visited recently, this is one of the best. If you’re looking for a high-quality steak at a reasonable price, this place comes highly recommended.

There is a reason why The San Franciscan Steakhouse has been in business since 1963. It has survived the Vietnam War, disco,stock market crashes,recessions, weather disasters,the dark days of the Pandemic. My husband took me here for our first time to celebrate my 60 years circling the earth and WOW, it did not disappoint! CHRIS, our server, was Excellent, attentive, handling HOT potato foil without batting an eye, he could not have been nicer! Other staff members were friendly as well. The food speaks for itself, tender Prime Rib, sitting next to a loaded baked potato as big a man’s hand. Sourdough bread so good, it’ll make you want to weep for joy! 5 grilled shrimp big enough for 2 people. Perfectly grilled rib eye steak. Btw, the BATHROOM was Lovely,clean,pleasant scented! L VE the old school vibe.

I came here for the prime rib and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The prime rib at San Franciscan in Torrance was cooked perfectly — incredibly tender, juicy, and full of rich flavor. You can tell they really know what they’re doing with classic steakhouse-style cooking.
The portion was generous, and the meat was so soft it practically melted in my mouth. The seasoning and au jus were spot on, and every bite was satisfying. This is the kind of place you come to when you want a real, no-nonsense, old-school prime rib experience done right.
The atmosphere also adds to the experience — cozy, classic, and comfortable, like a true neighborhood steakhouse that’s been perfected over the years. Service was friendly and efficient, which made the whole meal even better.
If you’re in the South Bay and craving prime rib, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

To be honest, I haven’t had such a delicious steak in a long time. Even though I’m in America, it is hard to find something that is so good just anywhere. No sauce was added, just a sprinkle of salt, allowing the meat to bring out its perfect flavor. I was so lucky to find it here tonight!

Big portions, especially the ribs. Free bread fills you up quick. Food’s good but not crazy. Make a reservation or you’ll be waiting.

I think this place is overrated. Our food was delicious but our waiter was horribly unprofessional. First, she refused to repeat salad options to one of the members of the party because “she already said that” and later she forgot to bring one of the orders. Her behavior was rude and arrogant.
The light in the restaurant is extremely dim (which you can see on the pictures of food). It’s very uncomfortable to read the menu. I will not come back here again. I do not recommend this place.

Shortly before Christmas, had prime rib at San Franciscan. A little more than a week earlier, had prime rib at Lawry’s. The San Franciscan’s was better. More flavorful. The smallest cut bigger than the smallest cut at Lawry’s. And, of course, considerably less expensive. Was seated right away, not directed to the bar first even when tables are available to spend money, as is the custom at Lawry’s.

By far, the BEST prime rib I’ve ever had! Absolutely loved everything there. Especially the fresh, hot, sourdough bread they have.

The San Franciscan is renowned for its flavorful prime rib, a reputation that has developed over the years. Tonight, our social club had dinner here and found that despite reviews advising reservations, communicating with staff about our large party of 13 was quite difficult. However, the service provided was good and the wait staff attentive, the food was superb aligning with their overall reputation.

Stopped into The San Franciscan for a drink after not being there in a while and was honestly really pleasantly surprised. The vibe felt cooler and more alive than I remembered, almost like the place is having a little revival.
Normally the bartenders there tend to be older (which is totally fine), but it was kind of refreshing to see a a younger, blonde guy behind the bar with casual hipster scruff this time. He made me one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time, too.
I’ve always liked this place, but this visit made me excited about it again. Still classic, still cozy, just with a fresher cooler energy.
