Best place for steak

Can anyone recommend a good place to have steak preferably here in TV?

IMO can't find better than Harris Ranch steaks at Lopez CC!

We like Longhorn Steak House.

Can't beat Lopez's Thursday night steak nitevwith a banana's foster made tableside afterwards. Also, I've had nothing but good steaks at Outback in the past.

If you want to cook good steaks on the BBQ
Sams club steaks are the best!!!!!

Jeffrey Paul's Chop House in Leesburg is the closest you'll find to a serious steak house. It's on 441 just past the split from 27.

Another vote for Nancy Lopez Legacy Thursday night steaks, my favorite is the filet marchant de vin. My BF prefers the filet blanco y negro. Both are excellent, and the bananas foster is delish. Nice ambience and right here in TV.

I've been satisfied with the rib eye at Cody's

We like the steaks at The Cattle Baron Club upstairs in Katie Belles.

You're playing with us, right?

If you want to stay in TV go to Bonefish - great steak.

For Ruth Chris style go to Ocala at MARK'S PRIME on the square.
$$$$$ but worth it.

Lopez is good

Wouldn't waste time at Cattle Baron or Cody for great steak.

Sorry, haven't been to Jeffrey's

Usually we go to Bonefish strictly for seafood, but may I'll try a steak next time.

Totally agree, can't beat their ribeyes.

Every time I eat @ Katie Belles or Cattle Baron, I suffer with serious heart burn. No longer go !

I agree, Sams is the best place around here, to buy steaks.

I like the Renegade steak at Longhorns.

The rest of the story:

Florida is a large producer of GRASS FED BEEF, i.e. pasture feeders and this produces a leaner, tougher, stringier cut of beef. The grass fed beef is better for you, better for the environment and more humane to the animal, but unfortunately does not come to the table as tender and juicy as we are used to. The beef that bring the most complements is beef that is raised and fed a combination of grains in feed lots where the cattle have little room to move around; hence, higher and faster weight gain with more fat marbling in the meat that provides the lip smacking flavor that we enjoy. So when looking for a great steak, find out where the beef comes from and how it was developed as that has by far more to do with taste than the cook or the restaurant.

We were extremely impressed with Vics Embers on the 441 Leesburg. The BEST!!! And closer by, Longhorns

I can "echo" what above poster says as the best chicken I ever had was grass fed organic poultry from a ranch in Colorado and the steak eaters, ditto, raved over their beef.........as mentioned above, grass fed, not crowded together in the slaughter houses.....

Above meals were enjoyed at a resort ranch high in the Rockies above Winter Park.........in Tabernash.....at 9,000 ft. / 8,000 ft.

I've tried to purchase organic /grass fed poultry but it gets pretty steep in price. Is it available in The Villages at one of the supermarkets???

Thanks in advance.

Totally agree! If you want to travel a bit further, Mark's Prime Steakhouse in Ocala is even better but a bit more pricey. Both beat anything in TV by an order of magnitude.
