I am having 6 guests over for prime rib. We are all big eaters. How many pounds should I cook? No guesses please. I would like the opinion of someone who really knows the answer to this question. Thanks.

With a bone attached prime rib I would go with a 10-12 pound rib. This is one cut of meat where generous cuts are a must. My husband always has the butcher trim the bone off the roast and tie it back on with butcher's twine. This way you get the favor benefit of the bones but not the pain of removing the bones from a hot roast.
Our last rib was 5 pounds and the 3 of us polished it off. We had minimal sides.

A 10lb boneless prime rib roast, of the highest quality you can buy, would be ideal.
Here is the best recipe on the planet for cooking it. It was given to me by a 5 star chef several years ago, and nothing compares to it. I've made it many, many times.
With a sharp knife point, make little holes all over the roast and put a half or quarter of a garlic clove (depending on the size of the clove) in each one.
Dampen the roast with a little water and then pack it in Kosher salt...as much as it will hold.
Dampen some cheese cloth and wrap the entire salt covered roast in it.
Place it on a roasting rack and put a small amount of water in the bottom of the pan.
Bake at 350 deg. until it's the desired doneness. It's always best to use a meat thermometer.
Bon Appetite!

I had made prime rib over the weekend.I would go with bone- 2lb per person.Without bone about 1.5 lbs
Go with a 15 lb rib if everyone is going to be wanting seconds

Big eaters is a relative term. I would suggest about 24 ounces per person (assuming you are serving a starch and veggie also).
Worst thing that can happen is you have some leftovers...open faced prime rib sandwiches, anyone? :)

to be on the safe side, i would go with at least 8-10 pounds of ribs, most of your guests may eat 2 pounds each

If the prime rib is bone-in, allow 2 pounds per person, if it is boneless, then 1.5 pounds per person.

If you are cooking with the bone in give 1 pound per person. Leftovers are always good. That is what we had.

8 ounces per person for normal meal with several other offerings (side dishes)....
12 ounces per person if they are BIG eaters.

If its bone-in, give each eater a bone, which should come out to around ten pounds.
If its boneless, buy a six pounder.
