Try Glenview on Monday nights for all you can eat steak and shrimp. Make reservations.

Is there a Villages carnivore group? Thinking of starting the diet after the first.

Just remember that you are not moving here for the restaurant offerings, in any way shape or form. Just to set your expectations to the correct level.

and if you are going to be here for three months, you will get through most if not all of the better locations in the first month.

good luck!

Almost every restaurant has some kind of meat, just like everywhere in the US

Vegetarian only restaurants would be tough to find, but meat - easy
Just tell the server to hold the sides.

Artman's Smokehouse just outside the Villages in the North end. Their meat platter has very generous portions of a variety of different meats of your choosing.

In the south end, Willie Jewels has great smokehouse meat options as well.

Try Oakwood Smokehouse and Grill----the one on South 441 Lady Lake, FL. It is real close to The Villages. Great BBQ, hamburgers, chicken, etc.

Trying to get a group started in The Villages. On the Nextdoor app we’ve started a group and hope to have more members and their input. When we see enough interest we can get together for MEAT UPS! In the meantime we can share our experiences! We’ve been carnivore for over 3 months and have seen many good changes in our health. Check out the group “The Villages Carnivore Meat Up”. We look forward to meeting you.

I have been low carb/high protein/saturated fat for 25 years and still at my college weight...Now I no longer eat any plants sans coffee and macadamia nuts. Plants will kill you, man.

Just avoid any unsaturated fat plant oils cuz they are worse for you than carbohydrates. Almost all restaurants use plant oil (canola/soy/vegetable/peanut) for cooking.

We eat carnivore as well. It’s difficult to find Restaurants that cater to carnivore. Yes they have steaks and meat but the question is “what are they cooked in”? Therefore most of the time we eat at home. Check out our group that is just starting on the Nextdoor app The Villages Carnivore Meat Up. Hopefully we can all get together and share the changes in our lives and health, or get together for cookouts to cook those rib eyes and socialize.

If you’re coming from a state that has corn fed cows and great beef, you’ll need to lower your expectations. Florida cows graze on sandy soil grass. They don’t have the heft of northern cows, they are scrawny.
And that’s everywhere you eat in Florida, not just The Villages.
You’ll note that a lot of the comment so far are recommending rib joints.
I’ve been here 14 years. I don’t bother ordering steaks, I just wait until I’m up north.
Here’s my Dads advice. When you go in a new restaurant, order the special. That’s what they do best. Or ask the waiter for a recommendation.
You will find some restaurants you like.

Is this only on NextDoor? I’m on Facebook, but not ND. Hoping for a FB group.

Orlando Dr Phillips area an hour away. Multiple premium steakhouses on Sand Lake road. Eddie V, capital grille, Ruth Chris, etc.

Berns is supreme in Tampa.
