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.

The food was good, the service was great… but… it was SO cold. Uncomfortably cold. I don’t know why they didn’t have their heater going but it detracted from the experience.

Delightful find in walking distance from the Ayres Hotels. Very gracious host and our wonderful waiter Paolo. My paper thin filet mignon carpaccio topped with a generous serving of arugula and shaved parmesan, drizzled with olive oil and capers. Best Ive ever had! My pasta was a rich saffron cream sauce with shrimp and scallops...rich and delicious. Husband enjoyed white sea bass with roasted potatoes a perfectly prepared vegetables. You wont be disappointed!

This was my second time here. The experience was incredible and the staff was amazing. I wish I had the opportunity to take some food home and not waste but that’s what happens with all you can eat. I didn’t have enough room for dessert but it was my man’s bday, so we had to. The crème brûlée cheesecake was out of this world amazing! We definitely over indulged but it was worth every penny !
