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 thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience! Starting in the bar with great drinks and fantastic sunset viewing on the patio, to the quiet table for 7 to celebrate my husband's birthday! The drinks and food came in great timing, too! The steaks and seafood dishes were very delicious, as was the baby back ribs!

Every dish has incredible flavor and a little heat. The ceviche had the right amount of heat, the fish was delicious. We also had the mushrooms and Sweet potatoes. Still thinking how crisp and flavorful the potatoes were. The Lamb shank, Ribs and Branzino were so good. Can’t wait to go back.

Loved the food we had. Focaccia appetizer was yummy and flavorful. The gnocchi was rich and tasty and so was the cannelloni. We'd definitely return if we come to this area again.
