I'm looking for some different recipes and would like to buy some prime rib for dinner tonight. The last time that I bought Prime Rib, the butcher sold me "roast beef." Big difference.

Prime rib is the loin cut.
It is the same as a ribeye steak except a ribeye is grilled and prime rib is slow roasted at low temperatures for many hours. It is usually rubbed with special seasonings and salt before roasting.
Prime rib is roast beef. There is no difference. A proper cut always contains about 20% fat.

I agree that Sweet Nil seems to have found a restaurant for you. Sweet Nil's friend definitely had what is typically called "Prime Rib" in the United States. Sometimes it's also called "Standing Rib Roast" or "Rib-eye steak" (sometimes "bone-in" and sometimes not). As Jessica says, if you are in the United States, it is wildly popular in restaurants in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and southern part of New Jersey, just east of Philadelphia. I had a "King Sized" Prime Rib one time that was 20 ounces--it's amazing that such a big, thick piece of beef can be so tender every single time. You can literally cut it with a butter knife if prepared properly.

Ribeye Roll, 2" Lip-on Ribeye are what prime rib is made from.
