Davidson County residents say these are the top five local restaurants for steak
It’s no surprise that the county’s only steakhouse was voted the best place to eat steak in Davidson County in a recent social media poll. However, who knew barbecue restaurants also cook steaks that locals love to eat?
Two longtime Davidson County barbecue restaurants were voted the second and third favorite places to eat steak by locals. Overall, the top five restaurants are located from Lexington to Denton.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be asking Dispatch readers to tell us about their favorite local businesses across various categories through social media posts. We hope to highlight some of our reader’s favorites such as the best place for lunch, the best pizza place, the best boutique for women’s clothing and more.
We’ll create a top five list (or more in case of a tie) based on our readers’ votes and tell you a bit more about each company. Check back each week to The Dispatch’s Facebook and Twitter page to see which category of reader’s choice we’ll highlight next. Look for social media posts this week asking readers what are the best places to eat a hot dog in Davidson County.
