A wonderful dining experience. The service staff was excellent and the food was very good. A great value when compared to other “high end” steakhouses, yet their food and service is on par. I will be back.

I’m originally from north Cambridge and I have never been here but for my first time last night this place really was great. Had a ny strip and for under 30$ it was the best steak I had at that price. Baked potato on the side with some broccoli as well but 10/10 all around. Also my little league baseball team was sponsored by you guys lol.

We came in for dinner Friday night, February 14th. It had been around 15 years since the last time I was at Frank's steakhouse and really loved the food. The service was excellent and the drinks were mixed well. Definitely plan on coming back more often now. Some people were very annoyed at the fact that they if they didn't have a reservation that they couldn't be seated right away, I am glad that the people who had reservations were seated first. People should understand on holidays like this. You must make a reservation whether or not you're coming in for the holiday. But the woman at the front front desk handled everything well and we were seated pretty promptly. Bill
