Fresh Starters at This Brownwood Restaurant

We shared the Wedge Salad, and although I didn’t get a picture before we split it, the flavor made up for it. The wedge arrived chilled, and the combination of bleu cheese, crisp bacon, and fresh vegetables worked together really well. Moreover, it was larger than expected and easy to share.

Local tip: Ask for a side of Prima’s meat sauce. It’s not listed as a side, but they’ll bring it. It’s rich, hearty, and honestly feels like its own little appetizer. Consequently, it’s now something I’ll order every time.

Italian Dining at Prima in Brownwood

Chicken Oscar at Prima

The Chicken Oscar came topped with crab, asparagus, and hollandaise — a classic combination that worked surprisingly well with the grilled chicken. As expected, the portion was generous, and the flavors blended nicely without feeling too heavy.

Italian Pasta & Eggplant at Prima

This combo plate was one of the favorites of the night. The spaghetti with meat sauce was richer than expected, and the eggplant parmesan had a great texture — soft inside and lightly crisp around the edges. Furthermore, the portion size made it easy to share or take home leftovers.

Prime Rib Dip at This Brownwood Restaurant

The Prime Rib Dip was a standout. Packed with shaved prime rib and melted cheese on a toasted roll, this sandwich hit all the right notes. In addition, the seasoned fries were crisp and nicely spiced, making the whole plate feel satisfying and well-balanced.

Gorgonzola Mushroom Burger at Prima

This burger is big, juicy, and full of flavor. The gorgonzola adds richness, while the mushrooms bring depth, creating a great balance. Even though Prima is known for Italian dishes, this burger easily competes with anything from a dedicated steakhouse. Additionally, the fries held up well and added a perfect crunch.
