Prime rib weight on a restaurant menu - raw or cooked?

When a restaurant menu lists a weight for a steak, I know it's raw weight. But when it lists the weight for prime rib, is it raw weight or cooked weight?
Best Answer
I don't think there is consistent rule - I have seen restaurants sell meat in 100g portions, where they literally weigh it as they carve it off a large roast joint, and also restaurants where the raw weight is listed, then they roast a piece of meat of that weight (often for two or more to share).
The best policy is to ask each time!

Do restaurants weigh steak before or after cooking?
An incredibly helpful rule of thumb to remember is that cooked beef will weigh roughly 75% of its own raw weight. This holds true for almost all preparation methods unless you order it extremely rare or extremely well done however these situations are uncommon.Do you weigh meat raw or cooked?
Should You Track Your Macros Raw, Cooked or Frozen? Weighing your food raw is most accurate because when you cook any food it either absorbs water or water evaporates.

Chef Michael Lomonaco says the best way to order steak is rare to medium rare. Medium rare is the most ideal because it provides the best and truest flavor of the beef, and allows for a charred outside and cool interior. Anything above medium-rare starts to take away from the texture and flavor of the beef.Are serving sizes Raw or cooked?
Menus typically refer to a raw weight, not the weight of the food served to you. This is based on an industry standard, not a regulation. A hamburger described as a quarter of a pound (four ounces) will be about three ounces by the time you bite into it, and that eight-ounce filet will be about six ounces cooked.Perfect Prime Rib - Easiest Prime Rib Recipe Ever! - Formally Know as \
