I've only had the prime rib at The Keg about 50 times and it has been great. There is a secret size larger than Keg size which is really hard to finish.
My foreman at work claims that a golf course in Richmond has really good prime rib, but I don't remember the name of the location and have yet to try it.

the kegs prime rib is pretty solid, the size larger than the keg size is called the "keg sized omega". If you don't want to spend so much, miles stones is alright. Gothams has a pretty good au jus sauce to go with their prime rib. but for the price you might as well go to the keg. Try making prime rib yourself, its ridiculously easy, just have a meat thermometer and get a good cut of prime rib, a few hours later you'll have more than enough to feed yourself and a few others.

I've also went to Outback Steak house and Black Angus in the states, both of which I personally found not to be as good as our Keg back home. (Although much cheaper for the portion you get) Just in case you ever wondered about those two.

Nothing quite like it at home. Like other poster said, it is so easy ... with what you pay at The Keg, you can have all you can eat prime rib for 2 days.

I tried the prime rib at the Keg on a couple occasions. I think its decent. Its too bad they didn't have yorkshire pudding as well. I was a bit disappointed. I think a prime rib isn't complete without that.

i agree that you should make it at home.
keg prime rib is average, and you can easily replicate it at home.
the sides they give at the keg are terrible so you're not missing out on that

I don't know where the best Prime Rib is locally, but best in the world IMO is House of Prime Rib in San Francisco.
pretty much a mandatory food stop when you visit. http://houseofprimerib.net/home.html Our Roast Beef:
Carved at your table, to your specifications, from our unique stainless steel serving carts. We serve only the best beef available, the top 2% of all beef marketed. Although this incurs additional expense, out Mid-Western corn-fed beef aged for 21 days, is the most tender, juicy and flavorful beef available.

I get my meats for prime rib usually from ferry market on hastings because the owner is a family friend and barely charges anything for it, but the meat at safeway/costco has been good in my experience

Man, that house of prime rib looks amazing. I have to go some time.
Last year, my dad and kid brother had a joint bday party and invited over the extended family. I made a roast (it's not prime rib if it's not on the bone right?). I was most impressed with how it turned out. Better than most restaurants I've had it at. For any of you guys that have made prime rib at home, what spices do you use?
I made a simple paste with thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper and butter. But I think maybe I should have put in some onion powder as well. Do you guys sear it off first before roasting or just pop it in at room temp?

Gotta sear it off first for sure 
When I make roast I go S&P only, but I go really heavy on the fresh cracked pepper (I mean really heavy).. If its a regular roast (not prime rib) I ussually slit/stab it with a knife and insert garlic coves into it, if its a prime rib I leave it be..
I like to go 450 high for 10minutes then drop it to 280 finishing it off with a 10-15min resting.

i just pop it in at room temp
for the best center, rest it between roasting and "searing"
roast part way at 200, rest then crank it as high as it'll go
same with a nice steak but other way around.

Go to Nikuya, buy some Wagyu prime rib then make it at home. It'll probably cost close to or surpass $100 per pound, but it'll be worth it!

loss of juices are negligible, because no matter how good a sear you get on meat, it will leak like a period anyway
