Prime Rib Recommendations Please
 

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

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.

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.

Heart attack on a plate - How can anyone eat that much !!

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

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

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

Make it at home
 

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:

Perfect Prime Rib - Easiest Prime Rib Recipe Ever! - Formally Know as "Method X" - YouTube

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Where do you recommend?

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 have better luck making my own

Perfect every single time!

Best Meats on 301...6.99 lb. this week...better hurry......best is always made at home..........

Great at Nancy Lopez!

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.

What time is dinner? See you then :)

Yeah and I have to replace my monitor because I ate it.

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

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.
