We went to KC's on a Wednesday to celebrate a friends bday. The food at KC'S is really good. It's nice, homey casual eats. The happy hour is awesome. There are great drink specials. The service was pretty slow and the place feels a little bare, but for the great value and a friendly check in by the manager, I would recommend KC's. - Regina Baker

What is Worth Choosing at KC's RVC

For anyone in the New York area, particularly those on Long Island, KC's RVC is an essential destination for several reasons that go beyond the standard American restaurant offering. The primary attraction that sets it apart is the total experience encapsulated by the Rooftop Seating. Dining or having cocktails "on the roof" provides a truly unique, memorable, and highly social atmosphere that is hard to find locally, establishing the venue as a premier social hub.

The value proposition is also significantly boosted by their robust Happy Hour program. Locals often praise the awesome drink specials and friendly check-ins by the management, which create an appealing overall value, making it a great choice for a midweek wind-down. For those seeking classic American fare, the KC'S FAMOUS HANDHELDS and BURGERS are a clear highlight, offering hearty, satisfying portions of comfort food. From the TRADITIONAL STEAK TID BITS to the creative, over-the-top MAC BURGER, the food aligns perfectly with the relaxed, bar & grill vibe.

Furthermore, the venue's ability to host a full night out—starting with Dinner, moving to a Cocktail bar experience, and finishing with a Night club vibe—makes it a highly efficient choice for group outings. Customers have specifically noted the excellent service, with staff members receiving praise for being attentive and nice. While some patrons have had mixed experiences with specific experimental menu items and cocktails, the overall consensus points to a venue that excels in its primary function as a lively, American bar and grill with exceptional social amenities. The combination of its excellent location, accommodating staff, lively atmosphere, and signature rooftop feature makes KC's RVC a mandatory visit for anyone looking for the best of Rockville Centre's dining and nightlife scene.
