In the last four decades Gulliver’s Restaurant has became one of the most popular Prime Rib Restaurant in Southern California.
Gulliver’s hand-selected beef (corn-belt) is slow roasted in a unique patented oven system to assure flavorful, tender and juicy Prime Rib dinners. Gulliver's Restaurant is well known also for its other specialties as in-house aged Prime Steaks, Chateaubriand, Salmon, Rack of Lamb, Baby Back Ribs and roasted Long Island Duck.
As you walk into a Gulliver's you will feel as though you have entered back in time to 18th century England. Guests at the Gulliver’s are surrounded by a veritable museum of leaded glass pieces, pewter and ceramic objects, and a collection of prints from Hogarth, Rowlandson and other Gulliver’s Travels illustrators.
The Portions are huge, the service is gracious and friendly, and most importantly, the beef is cooked to perfection.
Gulliver's is place where memories are created.

The prime rib is served with creamed spinach a pop up and unlimited creamed corn. Most steak houses serve you the meat only and you pay for the sides, this a great value. It’s the holiday season and Gullivers did a fabulous job making the restaurant into a Christmas wonderland. If you want to celebrate the new year this is a great place to start! Thanks for a great night out!!

She brought home leftovers from her lunch, which were delicious, so I was excited to try it myself. Unfortunately, my dinner didn’t live up to expectations. I started with an appetizer that was absolutely awful, and when I mentioned it to the server, I had to order something else. The soup was fantastic, and the salmon was delicious, but both the ribeye and prime rib were disappointing. To make matters worse, I was still charged for the inedible appetizer. The server had five tables, and while she was amazing with two of them, she seemed to half-heartedly take care of the other three. It was a letdown, especially since I had high hopes. I might give this place another try for lunch, but for now, I’d recommend 555 Steakhouse in Long Beach as a better option.

Food was a bit slow. The portions are shareable. We both got prime rib and while delicious, it wasn’t melt in my mouth buttery like 5 Crowns. So go for the ambience and enjoy the restaurant. Dinner for 2 came to $225 with one cocktail and 2 starters

This time around, the quality of the meat was exceptional, but the bread basket, twice baked potatoes and the trifle was old and dry. The holiday decor was a pleasant surprise and well done. This restaurant is long over due for a major remodel, but it adds to the charm and nostalgia of dining at this establishment.

One of the hostesses was on her phone the entire time we were waiting watching TikTok‘s. The other one was the one who helped us the most, and she was sweet and nice. When they finally called our table we walked up and the manager said oh it’s two men take them to a different table . He then proceeded to say I thought you were a man and a woman and a very derogatory sounding way once we got to the table our server was fantastic and the food was spot on. Maybe they were just having a bad day upfront I would still recommend this place. We go there every year for Christmas tradition.
