Prime Rib Recommendations Please

[Davonu]

And we’d like to stay in the vicinity of The Villages. Thanks in advance.

[JSR22]

Rose Plantation off 466A has excellent prime rib.

Meza Luna has an excellent prime rib...not what you would expect from an Italian joint, right? (It is not a listed menu item, so call first, but we have always found it available). Check them out in the Colony Plaza.

[LuvtheVillages]

A number of the country clubs have a prime rib night, where it is the featured entree. Don't be fooled. Its ok, but I don't believe they have the special ovens to roast it properly.

The best prime rib I have had recently has been at Oscar Penn in Inverness. Its only available Friday and Saturday. The owner smokes it himself on grills outside the restaurant. Reservations are essential.

Another good place is at the Fisherman's restaurant on hwy 44, going toward Inverness. Only available on Thursday nights. You have to call and reserve your meat (reg or large cut) in advance. He only prepares enough to satisfy the pre-orders.

Surprisingly, Mark's House of Prime in Ocala does not serve prime rib.

We like the prime rib at Codys Brownwood. The 16 ounce is the best. Codys Sumter Landing isnt seasoned like Brownwood, for some reason.

Oscar Penn in Inverness.
I would say their prime rib is without equal anywhere in the area.

I have no idea where to get great prime rib anywhere in this area. However, this thread reminded of great prime rib I’ve had in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Anyone remember Durgin Park in Boston, how about Captain PJ’s in Somerest Ma ? I can’t leave out Archie’s Tavern in Pawtucket, RI ( sadly all 3 are now closed)………but there’s still Twin Oaks in Cranston, Rhode Island that serves great prime rib on Sundays. Every time we are north for the summer Twin Oaks is on our list of places to get great food. This was the prime rib I ordered at Twin Oaks this past summer.

I had prime rib at Palmer's country club and it was very good.
:ho::ho:

[mabreyjk]

Palmer Legends Country Club has excellent prime rib on Tuesday nights and made from scratch desserts every day.

[Blackbird45]

The best prime rib I ever had was at a key club I belong to that no longer exist, the second best I made at home.

Went to Publix's got prime meat and went onto the following site:

It's so easy, impressive, delicious and you'll be proud you did it on your own.

I have eaten at most of the ones you mentioned. Archie’s Tavern was the best ever.

[JanetMM]

I know many gourmands will balk at my recommendation but I find that prime rib medium rare is a delight at TEXAS ROADHOUSE. Nice size with just a few bites left for my doggo. They do my beef right. Hubby likes their catfish. Not sure how they are lately but they are my favorite for steaks and prime rib. Never had a bad meal there yet.

[B-flat]

Mike, you don’t. You take home a doggy bag. Have a Happy Holiday season!

That’s the answer.

When I was in my 20s very overweight I used to dine at Captain PJs in Somerest, Ma. They had 3 cuts of prime rib. The large cut was called the Captains cut it was a double rib. The caption under the Capt’s cut read “ you will be embarrassed.” I ordered it one time and and YUP I was embarrassed everyone in the restaurant looked to see who was ordering such a large cut of meat. That cut could have served 4 adults, I never did order it again.

[Joe C.]

Twin Oaks in Rhode Island....... always had an excellent meal whenever I went there. Archie's in Pawtucket??? I heard that they were good, but all I remember is when they found rats in the kitchen. (Were they really serving "prime rib"?)

I like the one at Longhorn Steak House, and it is available all day every day.

[hav7979]

We have been most of the CC and it is all the same and not high end. Best we have found is fisherman's. It is a hole in the wall but great prime rib. They only serve it by calling ahead and making a reservation.

Texas Roadhouse (in front of Home Depot on 441), the Chop House at Lake Sumter … totally different ambience but both are yummy!

[nick demis]

We like the prime rib at Codys Brownwood. The 16 ounce is the best. Codys Sumter Landing isnt seasoned like Brownwood, for some reason.

Two out of five times it was good. twice barely edible, once returned it. Not good odds.

[MOMOH]

City Fire Special on Thursday nights. Don't miss it.

Where do you recommend?

[Petersweeney]

Hope your not still cooking with “vegetable” oil, fatty meat was given a bad rap years ago by the processed food industry….only to be vindicated recently by the Keto clan….before our ancestors became farmers that’s all we ate…..

I was a regular at Archie's never heard the story of the rats.......good thing I didn't. LOL
Yes Twin Oaks was always good!

I had many a good meal there. I had 2 friends who worked there, one was a waiter and the other a chef. Seems like 100 years ago but it was only about 40 years ago.

I enjoy Codys in Brownwood and always wanted to try the Prime Rib. Went a few weeks ago and did just that. Ordered it medium rare, it came to the table and it was ICE cold. Sent it back and it returned gray and luke warm. Couldn't even eat it. Hopefully it was an off night.

I have ordered prime rib at Cody's 3 times and it was never very good. Will not order it again.

We dined a couple of times at Cody's in the now-closed Mulberry restaurant. The last time we went my wife ordered ribs and they were cold it's like they took them out of the cooler and threw them on the plate.

The Oaks on 44

[mike1946]

Why would you order so much at premium restaurant prices - only to take it home and try to warm it over when it is never going to be as good as fresh !! The lack of logic is beyond me !!

This is the closest to correctly done prime rib I have seen since last Christmas when I make mine.

This can not be found anywhere in T.V. or surrounding area unless you do it yourself. I will admit I am spoiled. My favorite prime rib is outside of Appleton WI. It goes from slaughter to plate and is so tender that you can taste the freshness of the meat. However, knowing I will never get anything that good outside of WI, I find myself asking the doneness of the rarest piece by temp. It's just easier to know if it's going to be any good, because no matter how bad or good the meat selection is on their part if that temp is wrong you'll know if the final product is any good.

Still looking with hope but for now there is nothing that ranks 5 star everything I've had is 2-3 star prime.

That's my taste and wants, yours will be different. Good luck, I think that's the best I can say with choices around the area.

The fact that it was served to you ICE cold suggests to me that Cody's buys it from their supplier already roasted, sliced, shrink wrapped and frozen. All they do is warm it up.

I suspect a number of restaurants in The Villages do this.

Since it is not fresh, it will never be great.

Captain PJ's had, IMO, both the best fish and chips and prime rib in southern New England. Unfortunately the owners gambling problems forced them to close.

[OBRight]

I agree with a previous poster, the Rose Plantation's was the best I've had in this area bar none, it was fantastic!

[doctorknow]

Not only is the quality of the cut and the meat important to enjoy a good rime rib, but the cooking must be done correctly. I like Texas Roadhouse for their prime rib because....
I ordered a Medium rare prime rib and received a well done one. I asked the waitress and she said oh yes that is not correct I'll order you another. I said although done too much for my taste I thought it tasty and I had begun to eat it. The manager came right over to the table and said he would let me keep that one if I wanted and that he would have a 16 oz (I only had the 12 oz) prepared for me to go that was Medium Rare. So service is important when dealing with a fine cut of meat. We all know even the best cooks can make mistakes, get orders confused, or just plain get busy and overcook your meal.

I loved Durgin Park! Especially the wait staff :a040::a040::a040:

I believe it's closed now.

Unfortunately we have not found any food in Florida that is as good as food in New England. Lots of good Prime Rib there. Cody’s is not close to what it was 5-6 years ago, I find the food not that good and find the restaurants dirty for the most part. Much prefer Texas Roadhouse for Prime Rib over most everyplace else. As for finishing a prime rib meal, no problem and add in a baked potato with extra butter, nothing like it.

[Davonu]

By the way, we ended up having prime rib at Palmer Legends. It was very good and we were very pleased with the overall experience.

Probably not as good as anyplace in New England (give me a break), but very good nonetheless.

I have visited all of those places in Ma and RI, and you are correct...they were some of the best!!!

Give you a break about what…. The food I have eaten in Florida, mostly in The Villages, is not as good. We have not found seafood, Chinese, pizza, steak (including steak tips as no one even knows what they are) and prime rib to name a few. The first time I ordered chicken park it came with Alfredo sauce instead of red pasta sauce which was horrible. Definitely need to look for things that are good.

[Bill32]

Took a chance and tried the Prime Rib at Outback in Leesburg...........OMG...awful! The manager said she gets many complaints and sends feedback to corp. but still the same meat is sent to the store..
