Sullivan’s Steakhouse: Deep Cuts

This exceptional steakhouse has been serving King of Prussia locals with high-end meals and perfectly-shaken martinis for years, and one meal here will make you a believer. Part of a national chain, Sullivan's Steakhouse is decorated in 1940s style, with dark wood, comfortable booths and jazz music piped through speakers. The waitstaff is dependable and consistent, never crowding the table but always being there when you need them. Once you’re seated, peruse the excellent cocktail menu to get started. Appetizers are unanimously high-quality, with some favorites including the oysters Rockefeller, perfectly prepared and seasoned, as well as the crispy Shanghai calamari and the shrimp cocktail. But the big draw here is the steak – available in a variety of cuts, the grill here prepares them to order and never gets one wrong. The 22 oz. bone-on ribeye is a staggering piece of meat that will daunt even the biggest eater. If you’re not feeling like indulging your inner carnivore, the seafood here is also nice, with the broiled lobster tail drawing special attention.

Blue Pacific: A Fusion of Tastes

Adventurous palates in the King of Prussia area agree that one of the best places in town to get Chinese or Japanese food is Blue Pacific. Located in the sprawling King of Prussia Mall, this classy casual restaurant has tons of seating and an extensive menu. The sushi is all exceptionally fresh and prepared with real skill and delicacy. Some favorites on the list of rolls include the Blue Pacific roll, made with scallop, crab stick, spicy mayonnaise and salmon roe, as well as the Dancing Dragon roll, a savory mashup of spicy tuna, crab, tempura flakes wrapped with eel and avocado.

Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery

If you’re getting a little exhausted while shopping at the King of Prussia Mall, take a quick detour into the Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, have the friendly bartender pour you a pint, and give yourself a break. This national chain has earned a reputation for high-quality microbrews and excellent pub food. Once you’re seated, try some of the appetizers – the beer-brushed giant pretzels sprinkled with kosher salt and served with spinach dip are a favorite, as are the buffalo wings and the Kobe beef sliders. The rest of the menu mines the same ground, with frequent diners opting for the excellent burgers – try the Bourbonzola, served with a Jim Beam bourbon glaze and Gorgonzola cheese. The fish tacos are also good, if a little small. The beer selection is solid, with a variety of dark and light brews for varying palates. Service is professional and the ambience is comfortable, with plenty of TVs to catch a game.
