This is an Orlando Icon. Linda's has been serving amazing steaks for over 50 years! Great value and atmosphere. The mushrooms and sautéed onions are just as delicious. Yummy crisp house salad to start. This is a very popular restaurant, be sure and make a reservation. Usually books two weeks out. Linda's is a must if you are a steak lover.

Wow! This place is outstanding! My mother and I came here to celebrate my Dad's Heavenly birthday. This was one of my Dad's favorite places, but he hadn't been in a really long time. In honor of him, we had a ribeye, baked potato, fried mushrooms, and sweet potato fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! One of the best steaks I've ever had. Sequoia was fantastic! Thank you for making a special evening even more special by treating us like family. We will be back very soon!

It's all about the steak. They have an in-house butcher. So, the steaks are cut, seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Seriously, the best steak I've ever had. We had reservations the night we went - thank goodness because there were about 10 to 15 people waiting to be seated. This place is definitely casual. No fancy anything there. So, wear jeans, shorts, or whatever. No one will care. The service was excellent despite how busy they were. Again, very casual but very friendly as well. We had the bourbon shrimp that really tasted like bourbon. It was so delicious. As far as the salad and sides, they were OK. Like I said, it's all about the steak. We also took home some freshly ground beef that's left over from the butchering process. That was delicious as well. This place has a very loyal following and I now understand why.

Bucket list Steakhouse unlocked! 🤩👌 Officially tonight was an unforgettable experience: ambiance, history ('established in 1947'), service, and food quality. We’ve enjoyed every bite of perfectly cooked 16oz Rib Eye Steak and Chopped steak. We savoured each delicious mouthful. Everything was flawless leaving us completely satisfied and eagerly anticipating our next visit! 🙌🥩 ✨Last night’s visit… Drove almost 3 hours round trip to Orlando for the best Chopped Steak, and it is an absolute treat! 🤩 A perfect classic 20-ounce patty made from in-house cut steak. 🤤 A taste of everything all in one Steak Cake, courtesy of my husband, endorphin release, satisfied! 👌

My brother made the res for us while wife and I were in Orlando for a few days. He could not have made a better choice. The steaks, yellow fin tuna, chicken, service, beverages, atmosphere were all top notch. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food. To be fair (and picky), I would have preferred my baked potato served on the same plate as my NY strip instead of on a separate plate. Presentation, folks! Cheers!

Honestly, one of the best steak houses in central Florida. Affordable and delicious! You get Ruth Chris Steak (probably better) for an amazing price. All of the food was flavorful and the steak is perfectly seasoned. Their house made croutons are the perfect pair to their house made salad dressing. Service is always top-tier. I’ve been here for many times and I never had a bad experience. Worth the visit!

I’ve been wanting to check this place out for awhile now & finally decided to check it out for my birthday. I loved the ambiance of the place. Their bread is amazing & the salad was delicious. I ordered the Mini Surf & Turf - the filet mignon was wrapped in bacon (which I never had before) & WOW it so was juicy and tasty. The spicy shrimp was a little on the salty side but still good. As my side I order their spaghetti with the homemade sauce & that was phenomenal. This was all paired with a Pinot Grigio which was smooth. 5/5 and cannot wait to come back!

I have been looking at this place for 2 years and today we were surprised by our sis with a reservation! The only complaint was the food took alittle while to arrive but once it did... Booooy lemme tell you, the Ribeye is top tier, juicy, and will make you forget about that wait time... if that's what you're into. Will definitely be coming back.
