I like Franks Steakhouse on Lincoln Ave in Rockville Center. If you need Kosher - Doma Land and Sea in Cedarhurst.
Your mention of Frank's reminded me of an experience I had there last year. Not at the RVC one though. At Jericho.
My family has always enjoyed dinner there. (The kids especially love drawing on their placemats. ) Only worry is that I keep expecting one of my ATF providers who works out of the motel next door to come strutting in when we're there. (Just kidding. She's actually cool. Doubt she would ever out me.)
This time, I went there for a long lunch with a group of friends from work. Everyone but the lone female that joined us agreed it was subpar. All the guys to a man did not enjoy it in the least. Two of us had the meatloaf and it was just so disappointing. I mean, how do you screw up meatloaf? Meatloaf from Boston Market is better. The two other guys had steaks which were overcooked. Always ruins a good cut. Even the sides disappointed. Was not fitting fare for a steakhouse. Drinks and the service were fine though. Maybe it was an off day. Was at the height of the pandemic after the restaurants were just beginning to open up, so maybe they were having staffing issues with cooks.
One other caveat about another "steakhouse." While the family also loves J&R's (multiple locations), NEVER EVER EVER dine there with grownups other than the wife. The adults will never forgive you for dragging them there for what is basically glorified Arby's. For the family, though, you can't beat the selection and the cost. Especially when you want a break from the high prices at a place like Frank's.
