Frank’s Steakhouse

Frank’s Steakhouse has been a North Cambridge fixture since 1938, and the menu still gives steak the main billing. The Sizzler is a New York strip served on a cast-iron skillet; prime rib comes in several cuts, and filet mignon arrives with tarragon butter. An onion loaf makes a fitting start if the table is ready to share.

There are seafood choices and burgers as well, plus a French dip with prime rib, Swiss cheese and horseradish mayo. Many entrees include two sides, so look at the full plate before ordering extras. The restaurant is on Massachusetts Avenue and opens in the late afternoon. Check with Frank’s about reservations and the day’s availability, particularly for prime rib.
