Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse is a steakhouse located in the unincorporated community of Trabuco Canyon, California. The semi-casual restaurant serves steak and potatoes and liquor at its bar. Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse is famous for its no-tie policy; if a patron is wearing a tie at the restaurant, it is cut off and hung from the ceiling alongside many other ties.[1]

History

Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse was founded by Eleanor, Duke, and Randy Sherod in 1968. It opened on June 28 of that year as a snack bar for campers staying at the nearby O'Neill Regional Park. Eventually, the decision was made to convert the snack bar into a dinner restaurant.[2] In 1982, the Southern California Restaurant Writers dubbed the steakhouse "A Legend In Its Own Time," a phrase that was adopted as the slogan of the restaurant.[3]

Former U.S. president and Orange County native Richard Nixon would frequent the restaurant.[4] Inside the restaurant is a photo of co-founder Eleanor Sherod cutting off Nixon's tie.

Restaurant

Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse charcoal grills its T-bone, sirloin, and filet steaks. The restaurant is situated in a wooden shack-like building that was constructed around a large tree — its trunk is situated in the dining area. There is no electricity or gas in the restaurant.[3]
