Our History
Orange County's English inn and prime rib house since 1970.
“May you live every day of your life.”— Jonathan Swift
Gulliver's evokes images of 18th-century England, Jonathan Swift, the adventures of Captain Lemuel Gulliver, and the gracious hospitality of an English roadside inn. Its warm, inviting interior is a place you'll want to return to with your friends and family again and again — whether to share a round of drinks in the lively pub or celebrate a social occasion with a sumptuous Prime Rib feast.
John Wayne's favorite table
It isn't hard to find a restaurant serving prime rib and steak in Orange County, but how many can seat you at John Wayne's favorite table? The charismatic screen legend was a frequent guest at Gulliver's and it's easy to see why. The portions are huge, the service is friendly, and most importantly, the beef is cooked to perfection.
Travel back to 18th-century England
Come to Gulliver's and escape from the stresses of the 21st century to enjoy a dining experience you'll long remember. Your English dining experience includes an experienced, gracious staff, a hearty meal and a comfortable environment.
Guests are surrounded by a veritable museum of leaded glass pieces, pewter and ceramic objects, and a collection of prints from Hogarth, Rowlandson and other illustrators of Gulliver's Travels.
The menu that built a legend
The menu offers something for every taste, and lovers of Prime Rib will savor the choice cuts. Hand-selected corn-belt beef is slow roasted in a unique patented oven system to assure flavorful, tender and juicy Prime Rib dinners. Three different cuts are offered: Brobdingnagian, the biggest, best and bone in; Gulliver's Prime Cut; and the thinly sliced Traditional English Cut.
Other specialties include in-house aged steaks, Châteaubriand, Atlantic salmon, rack of lamb, baby back ribs and roasted Long Island duck. Dinner accompaniments include hearty cream soups, freshly prepared salads, spinach soufflé, Yorkshire pudding and Gulliver's legendary creamed corn.
Lunchtime regulars enjoy favorites like the Shrimp and Crab Louie salad, grilled salmon salad and the warm New York steak salad, along with fish and chips, sandwiches, lunch cuts of Prime Rib and the catch of the day. Daily lunch specials range from roast loin of pork to lamb shank and old-fashioned pot roast.
Whether you dine at Gulliver's for lunch or dinner, leave room for one of the desserts, freshly prepared in-house. The authentic English trifle is almost too beautiful to eat — filled with Devonshire cream, raspberries, layers of sponge cake, a sprinkle of rum and topped with whipped cream, strawberries and sherry. Equally tempting, the bread pudding, raspberry crème brûlée and chocolate lava cake will linger in your memory long after the last bite.
A meeting place since 1970
Gulliver's Pub has long been a popular meeting place. Elbow up to the solid oak copper-top bar for an ale on tap, or gather with friends on the patio for appetizers and cocktails — from shrimp cocktail and crab cakes to our famous Filet Mignon Bruschetta and Prime Rib Quesadilla. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, planning a business dinner or simply craving Prime Rib or Steak, come in and see why Gulliver's has been a dining favorite in Orange County since 1970.
