7 Best Steakhouses near Orange

“A big thank you to the staff at Outback today! We had a mistake with our takeout order, and since we weren't able to come back to pick it up, the takeout employee handled the situation with professionalism and genuine care. She worked with the manager to make things right and made sure my wife got her meal quickly.
I've had the opportunity to work, train, and develop restaurants around the world, so I know great hospitality when I see it. The experience the Orange Outback team provided tonight was outstanding. Hats off to you all—you've definitely earned a few raving fans!
And to top it all off, the food was excellent too“

“Oh my gosh!! What a delicious meal we just had!! We found several gift cards in a drawer and visited Outback Steakhouse in Shelton. The outdoor seating area was perfect! The server, James, was very attentive and helpful. The food was delivered in a timely fashion and was wonderful! My scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the Cajun seasoning was spot on. Keith's steak was cooked just as he requested. The portions were terrific! My cheesecake was smooth and yummy and Keith's chocolate dessert was a real treat. I wish I knew who gave us the gift card as I'd love to thank them!! I hope you'll consider patronizing Outback Steakhouse in Shelton!! We'll definitely be back!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“We went here for a work outing and it worked out perfectly! We were a party of 10 and the service was great. The wait staff was attentive & accommodating to everyone's requests. We were never left waiting for a wait person to come around. The food was tasty on top of that. The food is standard steak house flair and everything was flavored nicely. To top it all off, they had a couple nice IPA choices. Just enough to compliment the good food. Stop in for a work gathering or family dinner!“

“My husband and I were there in July 2025. The waitress we had was so very pleasant,her name is Aly. She is absolutely a keeper. We loved her greetings and her attitude. She's a great people person. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. Thank you!!“

“It's Sunday and every once in a while... more often than not, we brunch! Lol. We heard about the bottomless mimosa brunch here at Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar so we pulled up to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the busy State Street is this gem. There's no private parking, but plenty of comfortable, spacious street parking right out front. Once inside you're immersed in a very fine-dining, elegant, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of woods, intimate-low lighting and upbeat music. I loved the vibes in here. The first room is your bar room where the rail is off to the left, but with plenty of seating to the right. If you continue through the room you enter the main dining room where it's all booths and other tables. Service: Stacey was our server. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start, but they smoothed out throughout the brunch. Food/Drinks: The mimosa was okay... It was REALLY strong because there's orange vodka and orange liqueur in it. It kinda killed the flavor for me because I'd prefer a traditional mimosa with minimal juice, but... no matter. They're bottomless... or supposed to be... Just be mindful of who your server is. Brunch can consist of a prix-fixed menu, which is what we did so we'll be going through that. First up were the Homemade Sausage Gravy and biscuits. These were super smothered and fantastic. Hot, savory, meaty, salty and even had a bit of a subtle sweetness. The biscuit was soft, butter and had crispy edges. Next up were the Cinnamon Rolls. These were HUGE. Lol. Like, how are we supposed to eat AND drink all of this stuff?! The exterior of the roll was crispy and the inside very soft. Not over-the-top sweetness or anything. These were very balanced. Next up were the Bananas Foster Pancakes. But this thing was enormous. It was so thick, like literally an inch thick. Lol. Fresh bananas sliced right on top, it cut like butter, was soft with the perfect crispy edges and these were AMAZING. Punch of sweetness up front, fluffy texture and just a great pancake. For dinner, this restaurant usually serves Cast Iron Popcorn instead of bread, so Stacey let us try it! It was smokey, a little-little sweet with a little bit of salt and maybe a hickory barbecue flavor. I liked it. Lastly, I chose the Steak & Eggs over Salmon & Eggs, but got to try both since my wife was with me. Each comes with gigantic fried potatoes, 3 eggs, a piece of toast, caramelized onions and your protein of choice. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium-rare). The flavors were excellent. It was a little fatty and just was done very well. Value: $64.96 for bottomless mimosas and the prix-fixe menu. Probably the best value brunch in the state. SO MUCH FOOD and strong drinks. I don't know what else you'd want! In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and have revisited since my first time! Everything was just as awesome as the first. Check this place out if you're in the area!“
