The Steakout at High Springs to be featured on ‘America’s Best Restaurants’
Press release from America’s Best Restaurants
HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. – Local restaurant The Steakout At High Springs will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR) in mid-February 2025.
America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, will bring its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on February 14. Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owner Terri Gianos about the restaurant’s special place in the community. The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.
Gianos’ first job was at a pizza place in her hometown of Philadelphia, and although she later had a career as a hairstylist, she still knew what authentic Philly food should be. She decided to move to High Springs after her sister moved to the area, and she found she loved the slower pace of life, the sunshine, and the friendly people.
There was just one problem.
“I didn’t know you couldn’t get a cheesesteak down here,” Gianos says. “I didn’t know people didn’t know what a real cheesesteak was.”
Gianos’ sister, Mary Claire Connelly, brought Gianos’ attention to a little corner pizza shop that had been closed for a while. They took over the lease, did renovation for the better part of a year, and opened in January 2021, selling out of food the first day, and just a few days later Gianos recalls she sold sixty cheesesteaks in two hours.
Steakout’s menu features an array of authentic Philly cheesesteaks, pizza, hoagies and grinders, strombolis, and salads. Popular menu items that may be featured on the episode – besides the cheesesteaks – include the Meat Lovers’ pizza, topped with bacon, sausage, meatballs, pepperoni and ham, or the Greek pizza, topped with feta cheese, olives, spinach and tomatoes on an olive oil-garlic base.
Gianos is looking forward to showcasing her popular and highly-rated eatery on an episode of the Roadshow.
“I just like bringing good food to people,” Gianos says.
America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location on Friday, February 14, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/rests/florida/the-steakout.
America’s Best Restaurants was last in the High Springs area in November 2023, filming at Prohibition Pizza, located at 18559 NW 237th St.
Restaurants featured on the ABR Roadshow are selected based on their customer reviews, menu items, social media presence, and level of involvement with their community. They are found through customer nominations, internal vetting, or by a restaurant applying to be featured at www.americasbestrestaurants.com.
The Steakout At High Springs is open Tuesday through Saturday and is located at 18617 High Springs Main St, High Springs FL 32643.
