Those lean towards old-timey steak house fare (some), and some high end steak houses still sell some of those items.
Luckily most can be easily made at home.
We can get a steak sandwich with jus, just about any place.

You just described that type of of chain restaurant perfectly. LOL.
The only place I see the older types of dinners you describe is at our ubiquitous diners in New Jersey. There are people, usually older people, who go to those places every night for dinner. Roast beef, ham, roast chicken, even leg of lamb with a potato, soup or salad, vegetables, and dessert are usually offered.
Look at the "Dinner Specials" menu to see what I mean. In addition, when you go to the diner, you will find a plastic insert with whatever the "daily specials" are for that day. There's a diner like this in just about every town.
I think for a lot of us around the country, the chains killed all the diners. That's kind of what I was thinking when I made the list -- used to be a lot of places made things like this, but so many of them are gone now. Haven't seen a diner like you describe in years. I miss them.

Go to NJ, NY. Diners are still doing well.
I miss those diners since I moved to FL. Sorry- those "family restaurants" are not the same.

I'm salivating over the diner menu that MQ posted. Spouse & I ended our first date at a diner in, of all places, San Diego, steak & eggs at 3:00 a.m. When we left San Diego forever, that was our last stop, 29 years later. It's still there. There are no diners anywhere around us like that.
I don’t see Prime Rib in restaurants much any more.
You almost have to find a place that specializes in that. I see it on menus during holidays sometimes.
