For all the carnivores out there, there might not be a good steakhouse that you wouldn’t drive miles for. In Florida, we have our own steakhouses that rival some of the best in the country. Not only does The DeLand Stockyard have a unique history in terms of its building, but it also offers cuts of meat, fresh seafood, and delicious sides that people will drive from all over the state to enjoy. Take a look at why this legendary Florida steakhouse is such a hidden gem.
The DeLand Stockyard in—you guessed it—DeLand, Florida, is the perfect place to feast on delicious cuts of steakhouse all week long.
The building itself dates back to the 1920s when it was built as a lodge for guests, with a formal dining room being added later.
Eventually, the lodge became a restaurant called Brooksies and the owner obtained the very first liquor license after prohibition, issued in Volusia County.
You can kick off the meal with one of the well-known starters like the Sweet Onion Ring Loaf - fried onions, thinly sliced and hand-battered, presented in loaf form. Served with ranch or remoulade, just slice it up and enjoy!
There are other dining options outside of steak if you are looking for something else. Try the specialty macaroni and cheese, twin lobster tails, fried mushrooms, or Maryland-style crab cakes!
