The Back Room Steakhouse

My husband and I came to The Backroom to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! This spot holds a special place in our hearts since we also celebrated our first anniversary here — and once again, they exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel special. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, perfect for an intimate evening. The food was absolutely phenomenal — from the perfectly cooked steak topped with crab and asparagus to the creamy truffle mac & cheese and flavorful Brussels sprouts. Every bite was spot on. The cocktails were just as impressive — beautifully crafted and delicious! What made the night even more memorable was meeting another couple also celebrating their fourth anniversary — such a fun coincidence that added to the experience! It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers consistently amazing food, drinks, and service, but The Backroom does just that. Thank you for another wonderful anniversary — we’ll definitely be back for many more celebrations to come!

Today we celebrated my daughter's birthday! I have passed this restaurant for years and haven't stopped by until today. The service was excellent and our waitress Jennifer was there bomb! She explained the highlight of Magical Dining and drink specials. There was a gentlemen who ensured the table was cleared and tentative to the toddler who ate first and waited patiently for dessert. We ordered the egg rolls and artichoke dip. The egg rolls were meaty and the au jus was a pleasant addition for dipping. The dip was flavorful and I was definitely looking for the spinach, it was served with lightly toasted pita chips. For the entree's we chose the 12 oz NY strip cooked Medium and Med Well. Nice cut for what it was. Not your usual grilled steak but a nice butter finish to the oven sear flavors we picked up. Side options can be upgraded, so ask your server. We opted for Cesar salad for one side. Pomegranate Sangria was nice chase to the steak I had. Oh yeah they do offer fresh baked bread however you have to ask for it. It's served with garlic olive oil for dipping. Note: Gratuity of 20% is added to all magical Dining checks

Decided to try this place for magical dining. The short rib appetizer was good! However, the other items were disappointing. The lemon sauce with the salmon was delicious but the salmon and vegetables had no flavor. The chocolate cake was extra hard. We also ordered calamari, that had no flavor or taste as well. It was underwhelming for the drive we took to try the place but the service and staff were super friendly and awesome.

Very over priced. I got the scallops for $51. I only got 4!! Small ones. With 2 sides. It was just ok. Husband got the sea bass with 2 sides. It was $54. He liked it. Got a martini and asked for 3 olives but they only gave him 2. I got the pomegranate sangria. It was good. Now the appetizer ahi tuna? That was amazing!!! We had a reservation at 430 on Saturday and I highly recommend getting a reservation. But they don’t move you in and out very fast. We were there about an hour and 45 minutes. And it does get pretty hour in there. Oh and the bathroom was co-ed, single toilet and it was NASTY! Very dirty!!! The manager was very nice tho.

Birthday dinner for my husband, just us two. Escargot & fried green tomatoes as appetizers. Both were delicious. Pomegranate sangria was fantastic, and very large. I had sirloin and lobster tail with risotto. Sirloin was cooked fine, just a little chewy. Lobster tail was good- not great. Risotto was FABULOUS! Husband had ribeye, creamed spinach and potato. Again, cooked fine, and he enjoyed it. Creamed spinach was very liquidy and had little flavor. Overall, service was good. Server was nice, so I'll leave that there. I had to ask her about specials as I had overheard another service tell the table next to us. She fumbled and said not sure we still have, then found it and was less than enthusiastic telling us. Manager stopped by our table a number of times, he was attentive and present. We had no real complaints, it was good - not great. We took dessert home, key lime pie & carrot cake, both were delicious. A+ for the server who provided a candle in addition to our desserts. Bill was appropriate for what we ordered, not overpriced in today's market. My husband enjoyed it.

The Back Room Steakhouse is a hidden gem in Apopka, FL. It's outside is very unassuming. The service was great. Our server, Emma, was AMAZING! She patient and kind, and offered service with a smile. She checked to make sure everything was ok several times throughout our meal. She refilled water glasses without having to be asked. Her attentiveness was greatly appreciated. The food was delicious. My steak was cooked perfectly. You know it's good when there's no need to add steak sauce. Kudos to the chef! I would be remiss if I didn't share about drinks. Another homerun! The peach sangria was so good and refreshing. The espresso martini tasty as well. Even the water was good! I think it's fileted. I will most definitely be a repeat customer and I will most definitely recommend and tell my friends about my new favorite steak restaurant.

This was my favorite restaurant ever. They should be in Las Vegas. We were in town for a kayak and decided to have a steak. Very personal experience and amazing food. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ We travel and dine out a lot. This was amazing!

Mixed First Impression – Surprised by To-Go Experience at The Back Room Steakhouse I’ll start by saying I didn’t come in expecting a five-star meal—this was a last-minute pickup since my wife was under the weather and we just needed something quick. I noticed The Back Room Steakhouse while grabbing something nearby and remembered it had great reviews on Google, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I ordered a simple to-go soup and salad, thinking it’d be a safe, comforting option. What caught me off guard, though, was the presentation. The soup came in a basic plastic cup, and the salad was packaged without any utensils, napkins, or even a bag. For a place with such a strong reputation and high-end branding, this felt off, especially for someone relying on takeout during a tough moment. Maybe the dine-in experience is where The Back Room truly shines, and I get that takeout isn't always the priority for steakhouses—but first impressions matter, and small touches (like proper packaging or basic utensils) go a long way. I might give it another shot down the line for a sit-down meal, but for now, I’d say the to-go experience didn’t live up to the restaurant’s reputation.
