Sometimes the best food isn’t found in a fancy restaurant.
The Faceless Foodies Scores

Overall: 8.5/10
The Palm Bar & Grill in Benton City isn’t fine dining. It doesn’t have an upscale atmosphere, white tablecloths, or a menu full of elaborate dishes.
And honestly? That’s not why you come here.
You come on Friday night for one thing:
Prime rib.
Starting at 5:30 PM every Friday, The Palm fires up what has become a small-town tradition. You can get a standard cut for just $32, or go for the “King Cut” at $42—a massive portion that weighs well over a pound.
And if you ask us, the prime rib is the reason to make the drive.
The first thing we noticed was just how many plates were coming out of the kitchen looking exactly the same: prime rib and a loaded baked potato. That tells you something. When nearly the entire dining room is ordering the same thing, there’s probably a reason.
The prime rib had that rich, beefy flavor you want, with a delicious smoky quality that makes every bite better. We got one end cut for that extra smoke flavor, and it did not disappoint.
Your dinner comes with two pieces of Texas toast, corn, and a loaded baked potato, making that $32 price tag especially hard to beat.
Now, the atmosphere?
This is definitely a bar, and it feels like one. 😂
Seating is tight, Friday nights fill up quickly, and the place has pool tables, dart boards, and a lively atmosphere. It’s kid-friendly until 9 PM, but don't expect a quiet, intimate dinner. You're here for a good meal in a casual, energetic small-town setting.
And that's exactly what makes The Palm worth checking out.
Is it fancy? No.
Is it fine dining? No.
Is the atmosphere upscale? Definitely not.
But is there a fantastic prime rib at a price that's getting harder and harder to find? Absolutely.
The Palm Bar & Grill is exactly the kind of small-town gem that's worth the drive. If you're anywhere near the Tri-Cities, put Friday night on your calendar and go find out what all those prime rib plates are about.
Because once you try it…
You might find yourself thinking about when you can come back for the next one.
If you love prime rib, Friday night at The Palm Bar & Grill needs to be on your list.
100% recommend.
