Prime Rib
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
In the last four decades Gulliver’s Restaurant has became one of the most popular Prime Rib Restaurant in Southern California.
Gulliver’s hand-selected beef (corn-belt) is slow roasted in a unique patented oven system to assure flavorful, tender and juicy Prime Rib dinners. Gulliver's Restaurant is well known also for its other specialties as in-house aged Prime Steaks, Chateaubriand, Salmon, Rack of Lamb, Baby Back Ribs and roasted Long Island Duck.
As you walk into a Gulliver's you will feel as though you have entered back in time to 18th century England. Guests at the Gulliver’s are surrounded by a veritable museum of leaded glass pieces, pewter and ceramic objects, and a collection of prints from Hogarth, Rowlandson and other Gulliver’s Travels illustrators.
The Portions are huge, the service is gracious and friendly, and most importantly, the beef is cooked to perfection.
Gulliver's is place where memories are created.

    If you are near John Wayne airport and considering prime rib Gulliver’s is a good option. Service was attentive. Food was fine.

    The prime rib was not very tender and lacked flavor. We spent over $200 on dinner and we were very DISAPPOINTED! I would not go back even if we’re free. Total waste of money.

    Gullivers is a wonderful restaurant for when we’re craving a traditional English Prime Rib dinner with creamed spinach, yorkshire pudding and creamed horseradish. The wine list is varied and reasonably priced. The service is even better than the food. The staff are all pleasant, patient and focused on ensuring an excellent dining experience.

    We celebrated a birthday this past Sunday and we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Amanda, greeted us right away and provided our drinks without delay. Two of us decided to split the prime rib dinner and it was plenty of food. The creamed spinach was very flavorful where others tend to be rather bland and the creamed corn was in its usual greatness The yorshire puds were perfectly baked and the aujus had a great flavor and consistency, where other establishments provide a watered down version of same. The prime rib competes with Lawrys, and Flemings and in my opinion surpasses them both. The best part is that all of the accompanying sides are include in the price. Other sides are available and also delicious. We highly recommend dining at Gullivers and one of the biggest perks is that you can actually hold a conversation with your table mates and not have to shout in order to be heard. Thanks

    Our visit was absolutely wonderful! First off our server Shane was even better than the food! And that’s saying a lot because the food was excellent. The prime rib was all that I heard and was hoping it would be, and we’d for sure recommend the brussels sprouts as an added side! Shane had a great personality, energy and helpfulness BEYOND anything I’ve encountered in a long time! He was so attentive and when he learned we were there for a bday (didn’t want to say we were bc my friend didn’t want a fuss!) he discreetly brought over a wonderful dessert w/a candle & THAT just topped off a fantastic evening. We’ll for sure make this a regular spot for special occasions or even just a Wednesday!

    We drove down to Orange County to have this special meal we have twice a year. The Gullivers experience is steeped in tradition one of which is it was a favorite haunt of John Wayne who lived nearby in Newport Beach. We ordered duck which is not often found on restaurant menus and of course the prime rib that comes with unlimited creamed corn and Yorkshire Pudding. We started the evening with two 007 martinis a nice cocktail very authentic since I went home to watch UNCLE currently showing on Netflix We probably will return in the Fall or Christmas time or both.

    Gulliver's Prime Ribs of Beef Restaurant is a cherished institution. Located across from the Orange County airport, this restaurant has satisfied our craving for prime rib for many years. the beef is perfectly cooked and the accompanying side dishes of creamed corn and spinach are always appreciated. The Yorkshire pudding is a must. Of course the necessary accompaniments of creamed horseradish and au jus are always served. The English trifle for dessert is traditional. There are many other selections for lunch and dinner as well. They are just as delicious. If you are looking for a delicious dinner in an Olde English atmosphere, this is the place!
