The Rib Trader brings rich and authentic barbeque flavors to their friendly and funky restaurant in Orange. The ambiance is cool and inviting but it is the food that draws people there to indulge in their passion for ribs. Succulent and tender, the meat is ready to fall off the bone, while the sauces and gravies add a certain flair to the food without making it overwhelming. On weekends and holidays, the Merlin's Magic Dinner Show adds a touch of exotica to drum up some excitement, with sleight of hand tricks and illusions that leave you asking for more.

Wild chicken wings served with pepper ranch dipping sauce make delicious appetizers, while entrees could bring the house specialty of baby back ribs glazed on the grill or a rib eye steak topped with onion rings. Chicken, pastas and seafood along with sandwiches and burgers completes the menu and there's a good selection of desserts prepared daily. Cocktails, beers, wines and non alcoholic beverages add luster to your meal.
