Diner Reviews
  • "We didn't want to go to far for a good steak (Fleming's, Ruth Chris, etc). it was small and quaint. Service was no better then what you would get at an Applebee's on a good day. I was expecting more of a tour of the menu and personality vs." what can I get you to drink? and did you find anything on the menu you want to order?" the prime rib which is their "Special" on Sunday was very fatty, close to 25% fat. My 10yr old loved his NY strip (No kids menu) and my 12yr old liked his scallop & shrimp Pasta. My wife thought the Famous 14oz pork chop was bland. Would I go back? Probably because it is close and all Apopka seems to have is QSR & FC restaurants. Would they survive with real completion in service, quality and ambiance any where else?"

  • "My husband and I have been to this restaurant at least six times and have always been very satisfied. We have taken friends and also gone by ourselves, and it's a great private setting as well as for small groups. We usually go on birthdays, anniversary, or valentines. The steak is always seasoned perfectly, and the Chilean sea bass was the best we have ever had. The owner has come to the table and personally made sure we were happy every time we have visited. If you're looking for a small, personal setting, great food, and exceptional service; this is a fantastic spot."

  • "Apopka has a dearth of good, non-chain restaurants since the closing of Captain and the Cowboy. We like that there is now a restaurant nearby where we can have a nice steak dinner and not overpay or have to drive downtown. The main drawback is the place is so small that the bar patrons take over the dining area, making it impossible to have a nice meal when they get boisterous, as was the case this past Friday evening - and we went very early, at 5 PM! I wouldn't really call the noise level "energetic", but there wasn't a choice for "intrusive". Maybe now that there's a space available next door they will expand the size of the restaurant so that the dining experience can be separated from the bar experience, both of which have their place."

  • "I loved the relaxed feel of this place, and the beer selection was great and affordable! Service was prompt, polite, and personal. My salmon was fantastic and the accompanying vegetables were delicious and perfectly done. I didn't love the short rib egg roll appetizer, but the big carnivore in the group thought they were amazing. Overall The Back Room Steakhouse was a great, comfortable and tasty experience, I can't wait to go back for happy hour sometime!"

  • "I booked this restaurant because it was close to home, had a great menu on the website and my boyfriend had an upcoming birthday. I wanted to do something special for him and have our families share in it. I booked and got a confirmation call hours before and was allowed to bring in a cake from an outside company, which was great for the lactose intolerant folks who couldn't eat the cheesecake I'm dying to go back and try. The wait staff was AMAZING. Our server, Jenny, was all smiles and the host was very accommodating. 2 of our guests were singers; one sang grace and the other the birthday song. Earl had already said it was okay but to our surprise the other diners enjoyed it as well. The food, awesome; ambiance, perfect. Going back soon."

  • "Love the food. Ribeye is delicious. Service is much better than when they first opened! One of very few places in Apopka to dine that aren't chains or fast food, which is a welcome change."
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "This Apopka gem is long over due. The steak is as good as Del Friscos and Mortons. The only negative thing I can say is it's a little small, hoping they expand based on the amount of business we've seen in there. Excellent dining experience overall!"

  • "Our experience was very good. Unfortunately several in our party are "hard of hearing" these days. We were lucky to get a very quiet table near the rear (which we had requested and which the did reserve for us) and so our experience was wonderful. However, if we had not had that table, the noise level would have made it almost impossible for our group to have had a shared experience as we would not have been able to hear all in our party talk with each other. We would strongly recommend those with hearing difficulties to make arrangements for the location of the table be adequate for members of your party to hear. The groups are lively and having a great time, but for those with hearing issues, this does become a problem."

  • "The food was very well presented and the taste superb. Beer was not chilled, ouch! Appetizer prices too high, but main course was worth every dollar. Service was attentive. It's a very small dining room, so keep your conversation light, it would be difficult not to be overheard. I will certainly go again. The bar is in the middle so it's a busy ambience. I'm glad I found this place!"

  • "We chose to wait and celebrate Valentines Day on Saturday to avoid the crowds. We have eaten at the Back Room many times in the past and always enjoyed our meal. This time was no exception. It's a great place to enjoy a fine dining experience without the stuffy atmosphere. Chef cooked my risotto perfectly as was my filet. We will be back again and again!"

  • "There is so much to enjoy about this place. The food was amazing. The scallops were prepared perfectly and so tasty! Love the size of the restaurant; warm and intimate. I have tremendous respect for the owner Ed who vigorously participated in the operation of of the staff, and expressed genuine concern for our dining experience. I told everyone at work to check this place out. We will add this to the restaurant rotation."

  • "Reservations were easy with Open Table and the restaurant seated us immediately upon our arrival. The ambience is warm., low lighting and dark rich wood room interior make for a pleasant experience. The steaks and salmon along with the side dishes were delicious. The bar menu is a broad varied selection domestic and Belgian wheats through hearty stouts and porters. Our server was very attentive and explained both the food and wine/cocktail/ beer menu. The restaurant has a full service bar. I recommend this location for special event dining and romantic conversation. The food is excellent."

  • "Service was excellent. Manager stopped to talk at length with us. Hostess greeted us at the door with a smile and escorted us to our table. Our waitress made sure our drinks never ran dry. Food was served hot and just the way we like it cooked. No long waits between our salad's and our main course. Would recommend the Ribeye. So tender you could cut it with a fork. Extensive list of Beer on Tap as well as mixed drinks. Steaks are wet aged 28 days instead of Dry aged. All Steaks are Black Angus! Delicious!!"

  • "The steak was wonderful cook perfectly to my delight! I love the calamari and the key lime pie. The place is very small but making the reservations ahead was very helpful because there is no waiting area. Our party just felt rushed out by 10:15pm even though the place was supposed to close at 11 and we were still eating. I recommend the place and will be back."

  • "This was our second visit to the Backroom. I made a second reservation for Valentines Day immediately after eating there the first time. Then we had company visit and took them. We all enjoyed our food and the service was excellent by a young man named Alex. Cannot wait for our next visit. We drive quite a distance and pay $7.00 in tolls ( one way ) but that steak was so worth it !! The only down side is that it was cold outside and there is no protection from when the door opens. No matter, that steak was so worth it !! Patrick and Margie"

  • "What a great find! Only minutes from our home, best prepared steak we've had in quite awhile.The appetizer of short rib egg rolls was wonderful as was the salad and bread dipping sauce. You get 2 sides with every entree (I think) and they are very substantial . Very attentive wait staff. Definitely going back to sample more of the menu!"

Its a 40 min drive for me one way but I'd def surprise the husband with another steak dinner there. We really appreciated the meat quality."

  • "There were three in our group and we each ordered a different steak and then tasted all three. All the rib eye was the winner, the NY strip was a close second. The bread and salad were very tasty and plentiful. Overall we were very happy and will retun!"

  • "I passed their location dozens of times, and I never knew this place existed until a friend recommended it. What the Back Room lacks in high visibility frontage, it more than makes up for through a great dining experience. The service is friendly and attentive, and most importantly, the food is outstanding. I was with a group of friends, and we all shared each others' meals. Every item ordered was excellent! This included filet mignon, steak tips, pork belly, lobster and Chilean sea bass for entrees as well as scallops & fried green tomatoes as appetizers (lobster and steak tips were specials and not on the regular menu). I will be back often, and I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the area."

  • "Three of us dined at the Backroom Steakhouse on a Friday night. We got there at 5:30 and the place was empty but by 6 it really picked up. I am the only one that ordered something other than the steak. While my pasta was good I really regret that I didn't get a steak. My husband probably regrets this as well since I couldn't resist eating from his plate. The steak was fantastic. I will go there again for sure and equally for sure will get the steak."

  • "Did not realize this great steak house was even in the area. Found it on a Google search when looking for a steak house to celebrate my birthday dinner with family. What a great find! Food, service and atmosphere was top notch! Will definitely be visiting here again and have already told many of my friends about it."

  • "We have been to the Back Room Steakhouse twice in the last month and the food was wonderful. The beef tips, which were made from New York Strip and Rib Eye, were a special both evenings and were excellent on both visits. On both visits another member of our party had the Sea Bass and indicated that it was better than they had at a restaurant that specializes in seafood. Two members of our party ordered the Pork Chops and indicated they were excellent as well. All items are prepared when ordered and the chef will adjust preparations for food allergies. You have a choice of 2 sides with your entree', at no extra charge. The creamed spinach, mushrooms & Caesar salad were all very good. Great place for a nice dinner and reasonably priced."

  • "This was our 3rd or 4th time. A hidden gem in a 1/2 vacant shopping center. Kind of out of the way of you are not near Apopka but worth the trip. Be sure to make a reservation as this is a very small place compared to Outback or Longhorn but it is SOOO much better!! Try the rib-eye. Fabulous flavor probably the best value on the menu! Wife thought the Thousand Island dressing tasted funny but I think it was the Feta Cheese. Not sure why they added that to the house salad. The Blue Cheese was good. Service has been great on each visit and the owner or manager (not sure which), always has stopped by our table and asked if we where enjoying our meal or needed anything."
