Prime Time

Call me a lightweight, but one serving of prime rib is usually about all I can handle on any particular day. Still, Ken Oringer’s KO Prime strives to give those with a more hearty appetite one of the best meat deals running.

The downtown steak house offers a $24.95 all-you-can-eat prime rib dinner Mondays through Wednesdays. It's the sort of deal you might expect at Ponderosa, not an establishment owned by a James Beard Foundation Award recipient. The price is solid enough for one serving, never mind as much as you can handle. So, maybe that fact can justify not pushing it to the brink to get your money’s worth?

This isn’t the only deal you’ll find at an Oringer restaurant. La Verdad, on Lansdowne St., offers $1 chicken tacos, $1 carnitas tacos, and $1 pork pastor tacos on Tuesdays when the Red Sox aren’t in town.

KO Prime is located at the Nine Zero Hotel, 90 Tremont St.
