Our local guide to some of the best specialty foods in our area
Juicy steakhouses around town
Steakhouses have always been about more than just steak. They are where birthdays are celebrated, deals are made, families gather, and date nights feel a little more special. There are plenty of local places to enjoy a great cut of meat without turning to the typical chain restaurant. Some feel classic and old school, while others are lively, modern, or tucked right into the neighborhood. Whether you like a filet, ribeye, porterhouse, or prime rib, these local steakhouse favorites are worth a reservation.
NYY Steak – Coconut Creek
Located inside Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, NYY Steak brings a bold, upscale energy to north Broward. With its New York Yankees–inspired atmosphere, premium steaks, seafood, and lively casino setting, it’s ideal for a night out that feels a little more exciting than the usual dinner reservation. Whether you’re starting with cocktails, ordering a signature cut, or making it part of a bigger evening, NYY Steak offers a polished steakhouse experience while staying local.
Malbec Grill – Parkland
Right on the border of Parkland and Boca Raton, Malbec Grill brings a warm, flavorful twist to the local steakhouse scene.

It feels both special and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that locals can return to for date night, family dinners, or a relaxed evening with great food close to home.
New York Prime – Boca Raton
For those who like their steakhouse with energy, New York Prime is a Boca classic. The atmosphere is lively, the service is polished, and the menu focuses on USDA Prime steaks, seafood, cocktails, and steakhouse staples done with confidence. It’s the kind of restaurant that feels made for celebrations and special occasions, and very much a “night out” destination. If you’re looking for a steakhouse with personality, New York Prime delivers.
