Do you mean BBQ restaurant that serves them, or meat vendor that sells them to cook? -
Ok, I moved this from Introduce Yourself to the Restaurants, BBQ Joints, Steakhouses > Florida channel.
I can't help, but if you ever want to tackle making them yourself, that I can help with!Comment

Jesse82 Click the cartoon pig at the top-left of any page, where it says "Go to the channels page". That's like our table of contents, showing all the main channel categories. Scroll down to whatever fits your topic best, then click the red heading. That will take you to any sub-channels that might be in that main channel. Also, be sure to scan through our Help section, it's the first (far left) menu option in the main red menu bar. There's a lot of FAQs and tutorials in there.

I live in central FL and am not aware of any restaurant serving those although there are some meat shops selling one you can cook. Wild Fork in Orlando sells them as does Wassi's in Melbourne. You can also order them from Creekstone, I just received four.Comment

You'd be hard pressed to find any restaurant that can make them as well as you can at home with just a little practice. Beef ribs are pretty forgiving. As long as you get them rendered, there is little chance you will dry them out.Comment

Thanks everyone. I am on vacation in Florida and was just craving beef ribs to eat. When I get home I’ll make some.
thanks.Comment

The Villages? All I can say is be careful what color loofah you put on your rental golf cart! I have heard......"things"..
Anyhow I am in South Florida, you will be in Central Florida. A completely different part of the state. Sorry I can't help, but I really do not get up there too often, and when I do I just sort of wing it. Last time I was in the Lake Wales area, sort of nearby but not really. I was staying at a State Park campground so I was cooking over an open fire using the campsite grill as it was.Comment

Bkhuna Florida was overdeveloped years ago, so nothing new there. It is getting worse, at least in South Florida. But at this point all I can do is look forward to the day when the rich part of Miami is below low tide, and then the sliver of property I own will suddenly become much more valuable, being a few feet higher. Then I can sell and bail. Possibly to the Lake Wales area, if it is still reasonably affordable.

The Villages is pretty much out in the boondocks. I'm in Orlando - Santiago's Bodega and Texas de Brazil have beef short ribs. Bodega's are in some kind of Hoisin or similar sauce. I can't recommend them, and they're still 60 miles or so from the Villages. Like others, I far prefer home Q'd. You might check around Ocala or Leesburg for BBQ joints.Comment

Sorry, can't help. I haven't been to, or seen, any bbq restaurants...yet. Still getting settled in and discovering what's in my area. However I have found a butcher shop fairly close that I'll be checking out.Comment

If your willing to drive, Kings Taste BBQ in Eustice has great ribs, pork and chicken but no beef and limited hours. Pearl Country Store in Micanopy is a hidden gem.
Both of these places are within an hour drive from The Villages. Unless your on a golf cart.Last edited by Bkhuna; December 23, 2023, 12:12 PM.Comment

Jesse82 The only places I know that serve Dino beef ribs remotely close to that area are Atlantic Beach BBQ https://www.abbqmeatdrink.com and a Brazilian steakhouse in Jacksonville. With ABBQ it's best to call ahead because they don't serve them every day. Also, they are closed on Mondays.Comment

Quite a hike to this neck of the woods, but ABBQ is the best bbq restaurant I've ever dined in.
