For those looking to slip into one of the “best of the best” casual dining spots on their next Oregon coast outing, Tripadvisor named a local steakhouse among the top in the U.S.

“Szabo’s” may be a hard name to pronounce, but it’s not a hard place to fall in love with for their fresh seafood, perfectly-grilled steaks, and super friendly service. The owner, Mark Szabo, is originally from New Jersey but found himself on the Oregon coast in the early 2000s to be closer to his wife’s family. He’s owned and run the restaurant since 2002 after having spent years working in the industry. And, every day since then he’s made the people of Newport and tourists alike feel like family anytime they walk through the doors.
