What are the five best things to order at Prime 44 West?
Prime 44 West Steakhouse is a premier steakhouse that offers more than what you may expect from a restaurant specializing in steak. We’ve come up with a list of the five best things to order at this restaurant. Of course, the beef is delicious and makes a couple of appearances on our list.
1. The first item on our list is certainly as rich as it sounds. The lobster mashed potatoes are served in a cauldron brimming with the decadent aroma of buttered lobster. Though you probably won’t be able to eat the entire cauldron, you will definitely want to. Trust us, this guilty pleasure dish is worth it.
2. Next on our list is one of the recipes from the wife of Prime 44 West’s namesake, Jerry West. Karen’s Caesar salad is conveniently prepared tableside so you can see each and every ingredient added and know that it’s as fresh as can be. The dressing is light and refreshing yet still has that Caesar bite.
3. Third on the list is another special treat from Karen West. The irresistible Italian cream cake with coconut icing is as big as your head. You may think you can’t finish the entire slice, but it’s so good you won’t be able to stop.
4. Now for the meat. The 35-day dry aged cuts are tender and smooth to the palate. Whether you want a 24-ounce T-bone or a bone in rib-eye, you can’t go wrong with the dry aged cuts.
5. Last, but certainly not least is the American Wagyu filet mignon. Though typically a smaller piece of meat in comparison to the larger offerings on a steak menu, here you can choose how large you want your filet since this gourmet beef is priced by the ounce. The steak is so tender that you can basically cut it with a butter knife. -

Does Prime 44 West Steakhouse have any special views?
Prime 44 West Steakhouse is located within The Greenbrier, which is situated upon 6,500 acres. This allows for a lot of spectacular vistas. The steakhouse, in particular, looks out onto the outdoor dining area and a fountain. The patio features six tables available for outdoor dining when the weather is appropriate, and while we wouldn’t exactly call Prime 44 West’s view breathtaking, it is special in its own way. As you enjoy your steak and look out the window, you can’t help but feel at ease with the serene fountain and natural beauty. If your table isn’t facing the window, there is still a view for you. The open-air kitchen allows you to see the chefs buzzing around as your food is prepared. -

What are the private dining rooms like at Prime 44 West Steakhouse?
If you’d like a more secluded dining experience, there is just one private dining room at Prime 44 West Steakhouse. With a door to shut your room off from the main dining room, your dinner can be as private as you would like. Usually, the private dining room seats 12, but can fit up to 14 people if need be. So while it’s not a huge group, you can invite a good amount of friends to enjoy a meal. If you are looking for a semi-private room, you should book the chef’s table. Situated inches from the open-air kitchen, you have courtside seats to the chef’s game. Though the entire dining room can still see you, the table is enough removed from the rest of the main dining area that you have a bit more privacy. -

Does Prime 44 West offer special bread and butter service?
Prime 44 West Steakhouse sticks to the steakhouse tradition of stellar bread and butter service. The butter accompanies three different breads, all of which are made in-house, even the butter. You can choose from traditional artisan bread, sourdough and a savory bacon roll. In addition to the delicious breadbox, your server will also bring you a gift from the chef. The owner of The Greenbrier, where Prime 44 West is located, is very involved in the restaurant, so much so that his wife’s award-winning cornbread is served to every diner. Along with this “Best in Show” cornbread is a blue ribbon complete with the recipe. We’re serious about the “Best in Show” title — Cathy Justice entered her recipe into the West Virginia State Fair competition and won. So we’re not kidding when we say that the bread and butter service at Prime 44 West is completely unique in its own West Virginia way. -

What is the menu like at Prime 44 West Steakhouse?
Prime 44 West Steakhouse at The Greenbrier prides itself on its steak, which isn’t so surprising considering it is a premier steakhouse. Although the emphasis is on beef, Prime 44 West offers plenty of other options. Whether you order steak, chicken, seafood or even lamb, you’ll certainly want to order a side to make your meal that much better. The sides, such as lobster mashed potatoes and grilled Greenbrier Farm veggies, are served family style.
There are both wet and dry aged steaks available on the menu. The 35-day dry aged steaks are offered in four different cuts including a 22-ounce bone in rib-eye. The 28-day wet aged cuts are not as tender as the dry aged cuts, but still delicious. If you really want to taste a great steak, try one of the three cuts of American Wagyu. There are enhancements for your steak, but that doesn’t mean it’s not plenty good without those.
There are vegetarian options if you aren’t feeling the steakhouse vibe, such as the housemade ricotta gnocchi. No proper steak dinner would be complete without dessert, so try one of the signature desserts such as the Italian cream cake or crème brûlée. Trust us, you don’t want to miss these sweet treats. -

What kind of coffees and teas are served at Prime 44 West?
Prime 44 West Steakhouse strongly values ingredients even down to the quality of coffee and tea. This premier steakhouse offers the Greenbrier Signature French Press coffee in both regular and decaf. If you are used to automatic drip coffee, you will certainly notice a difference in the taste of the coffee made with a French press. The intense flavor is evenly bold and very well balanced.

The steakhouse serves Novus teas, which utilizes the concept of the loose-leaf tea allowing for greater quality of taste. You have the option of earl grey, Darjeeling, jasmine, English breakfast, Pai Mu Tan and a decaffeinated citrus chamomile. If you’re not bursting at the seams after your steak dinner, a post-meal espresso or soothing tea is always a good idea. -

Does Prime 44 West offer a gluten-free or allergy sensitive menu?
Though there is not a set gluten-free or allergy sensitive menu at Prime 44 West Steakhouse, the premier steakhouse can accommodate almost any request. You should make sure to let the restaurant know you dietary restrictions when making your reservation, in order to ensure the best quality food within your limits. If you happen to forget to tell the reservationist about your allergy, the chef, Steven Halliday, can certainly accommodate you with notice upon ordering your meal. As you probably know, it is important to let the kitchen know about what you can and cannot eat before the meal is served. Even though you may not think that a dish contains the allergen, there is always a chance that it does, unless the kitchen knows of your sensitivity. -

What is the food presentation like at Prime 44 West Steakhouse?
As is typical with premier steakhouses, the food presentation at Prime 44 West Steakhouse is sleek and clean with a bit of a twist. We like that a few of the dishes are actually prepared tableside to create a worthwhile presentation, such as the Caesar salad, crème brûlée and bananas foster. Prime 44 West plays on its location in West Virginia and uses it to their advantage. Sides, such as the decadent lobster mashed potatoes and the cornbread, compliments of the chef, are served in warm cauldrons that bring you back to the Old South. The steak is served alone on your plate leaving plenty of room to pile on the yummy side dishes.
