Trabuco Oaks Steak House is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat after a long day in the canyon or if you just want to get away from the hustle of the city crowds. The rustic BBQ restaurant gently reminds everyone as they walk in that casual is the norm here by displaying cut ties from the ceiling. Enjoy a steak like the top sirloin, New York strip or porterhouse cooked to perfection. Trabuco Oaks understands that not everyone wants steak, so it offers entrŽes like the mesquite grilled chicken, Italian spaghetti or an order of fish and fries.

Finish off the meal at Trabuco Oaks with a delicious dessert such as a hot fudge sundae or the famous hot cherry Gizmo, which is a cherry filling wrapped in a flour tortilla that has been deep fried and topped with ice cream, hot cherry sauce and whipped cream.

    We had a wonderful time at Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse. Our server was excellent, as was our food. My steak was cooked perfectly, and my wife loved her big beef ribs. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

    Burgers and beef ribs were average and the price was premium. Service was terrible, server kept forgetting items such as beer, salads, water and tea refills.

    Steak was really badly cooked and all the rest of the items seemed like cheap pub food trying to be expensive. For the price, you can do way better or even at sizzler for way cheaper. The ambiance is cool, if you are in the tie room. Other than that… disappointing. Shocked how busy it was for how bad the food was.

    Don't let the checkered plastic tablecloths and dude ranch vibe fool you. This place has serious eats and topnotch service. Everything we had - from the grilled artichoke starter to the mud pie dessert and in between, including the pork chop entree (incredible), the steak offerings, and even the salads - was outstanding. The liquor pours were generous and the selection was good. Service was special - efficient, attentive, and friendly. If you're fed up with soulless Capital Grille-style chain dining, this is the place for you. Can't wait to go back!

    The steaks we ordered were *excellent*, but everything else we ate was mediocre. The garlic bread was weird and not flavorful, the Mac and cheese was grainy, the dessert was burnt. Just all very meh, except for the protein.
