Chop House menu is on their FB page. Entree's under 30 with the exception of a few prime choices that will be MP. The menu selection looks good to me. Looking forward to going there. Peter Luger's prices would not work here and especially because you need to pay cash.

Rooting for their success and hoping they add rib eye to the menu. As for Pete Lugers, buy a bottle of their signature steak sauce at Publix and get a prime steak at Fresh Market or Costco and enjoy! A heck of a lot cheaper than going to NYC.

no one who really knows uses any steak sauce on a truly good steak--the absolute best steaks for sale in this area are @ Sam's prime counter 2" thick ribeyes or humongous tomahawks--making a good or super steak isn't rocket science
1)prime meat @ room temp
2) sear each side @ 1000 degrees one minute
3 )remove set aside
4) place back in heat @ 450 smothered in butter till internal temp hits 110
5) tent 10 minutes

as good as Peter Luger

I like Costco prime better than Sam's prime. Costco's rib caps are wonderful.

I am happy to drive to Orlando for Costco, because of Millenia Mall and Capital Grille. I like nice department stores and boutiques.

Now some of the clubs here charge $38.00+ for a steak--here's the ?--how many people do you think would pay that kind of $$$ for a good steak in TV

Without support, the hope for a good steak house here will be nothing but a pipe dream

Hope it works

We’ve been to Capital Grille here in the northeast. It’s pricey and we’ve only been a couple of times in 5 years for special occasions. Great steaks at about $60 per steak. A 22 oz Rib eye will set you back $59. Then there’s the 2 pound dry aged porter house for $78. I’m getting hungry writing about it.

The topic is the new "Chop House" restaurant in The Villages. It would be more useful if the posts were limited to those persons who have actually experienced the new restaurant.

If you want to have a general discussion about where to get good steaks, feel free to start another thread.


Anybody eaten at the Chop House yet???

Unless there was a private soft opening, website say Chop House opens July 22,

As long as its not a chain, it might have a chance, hope they sell steaks by the pound, 12 oz--24 oz, keep it a steak house--no prime rib

I know what you mean..........it's funny & sad at the same time.


Unfortunately, I don't think a higher-end priced house can survive here with retired budgets. There will probably be a weekly prime rib special for The Villagers.


Time will tell.

[JSR22]

Their menu is on their FB page. There are steaks, no prime rib, duck, veal, lamb shank, short rib, salmon, chicken and more Several prime cuts at MP.

[ColdNoMore]

I give it 18 months.

I don't believe there are enough non-tightwads in TV...to sustain a place like this.

Until such time however...it will be nice to have the choice.

Kinda of reminds me of when I was in business, I said I would do a job for nothing--some people would say "too much"

Its not IMHO, the idea of being on a fixed income is an excuse--some how when a person hits 70+, the cheap side of the brain takes over
