Read on to compare three local favorites, each located here in Celebration Pointe, where you can happily indulge in a dish that has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of everyday meat eaters and steak aficionados alike!
When it comes to the art of steak preparation, Prime & Pearl in Celebration Pointe is truly a cut above the rest. This acclaimed steakhouse offers a menu that showcases an array of mouthwatering steaks (including 45-day dry-aged cuts), each prepared with the utmost care and precision to deliver an unforgettable steakhouse experience. But before the chefs even begin grilling, the foundation of their craft is found in the quality of their meat:
At Prime & Pearl, it is paramount that we work with professionals whose top priorities are ensuring the well-being and quality of the cattle, encouraging biodiversity in the landscape and safeguarding natural habitats. In other words, we’re more than a little choosey when it comes to our beef. Our journey to find the ideal herd led us to the open plains of western Nebraska, where the ranchers raise cattle with limited human interaction and all-natural feed. When the health of the animal is of the utmost importance, you get the highest-quality, best-tasting beef. And that pairs perfectly with our aim to serve you the finest cuts you’ve ever enjoyed. – About Prime & Pearl
The culinary masterpiece of meat is paired with accompaniments that elevate the experience. Go for surf and turf with seafood enhancements like butter-poached lobster claw or oak grilled shrimp, or enjoy succulent shareable sides such as crispy truffled Brussels, lobster mac and cheese, and silky potatoes. Whatever you choose, each of these carefully selected side dishes are designed to complement and enhance the flavors of the steaks, creating a harmonious symphony of tastes on your palate.

Stepping into Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille is like stepping into the heart of Gator Nation, but don’t worry — you don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy a mouthwatering steak here. This elevated dining establishment offers a menu that will leave your taste buds cheering!

The menu pays homage to Coach Spurrier’s favorite meals, combining his love for great food with his passion for the game. Each steak on the menu has been carefully curated to reflect his discerning taste and commitment to excellence. In his words: “Anyone who’s watched me coach or play knows I’m a go-all-out type of guy. The food, service and experience here reflect that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t put my name on it.”
From filets to ribeyes, lamb chops, and the “Work ‘em Silly Tomahawk Pork Chop”, the unique menu has something to satisfy everyone. To enhance your dining experience, the Spurrier’s menu offers a selection of other delectable additions that are fit for a champion. Similar to Prime & Pearl, you can upgrade to surf and turf with shrimp or crab meat, and the sides feature crowd favorites like street corn, mascarpone & white cheddar grits, and grilled asparagus.
