Chuck's Steakhouse Of Hawaii

Chuck's is a popular steakhouse in Santa Barbara. I had been once before for happy hour appetizers with friends but hadn't had a chance to stop for dinner until now. I ordered the steak and scallops, the steak was tender and delicious. The scallops dipped in garlic butter and wonderful! Her teriyaki chicken was tender and just as good as the steak. They have a small but decent salad bar, and their pumpernickel bread is some of the best I've had. They make their own croutons, and this night they were burnt. My rum and Coke was perfect, service was very good. Alert, friendly, and efficient. Pricey but in this case you do get what you pay for.

We haven't been out in a long time. We Went to Chuck's and had Great service, delicious food, and friendly staff. The lobster and steak plate and it was yummy, love the teriyaki rice. The salad bar is amazing too. Our server was great and kept checking on us even though she was very busy. I highly recommend going here for dinner or drinks and apps. Relaxing atmosphere, beachy feel and theme.

For over 30+ years of my dining experiences this has to be one of the top 10. Consistency great steaks and seafood. The service is wonderful, attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion as well as frequent dining. Thanks to Chucks Steakhouse for over 50 years of serving the community.

Wow. I was greeted by welcoming staff who were honest and lively and was seated promptly in a nicely dark but lit room and in all honesty it was very relaxing. I had a beer while I awaited for my order. It was great to hear people enjoying their meals with family, giggles, silverware clanking on plates and waiters and guests coming and going like an orchestra of order and chaos. I could hear a distinct hand held heavy brass bell ringing when an order was ready, although I couldn't see such bell I could feel and hear it from afar, judging by the tone of the bell I was able to perceive the weight from afar. I was hungry upon arrival and the beer and ambiance made me feel at ease and hungrier. I could have waited much longer for my order as time was not the main component at play here. I suddenly realized that I was in no hurry to get my food on my table, because I could perceive that if you want a great meal, you have to wait on the chef and I could tell the chef was not stressed out as he took his time to get my steak to perfection. And I am grateful he took his time because outside of my own mother's kitchen, that is thee best steak I've ever had. I had my meal around 7 pm and it's now 10:51 pm and my mouth is still savoring the flavor of this great steak and pardon the forwardness but my mouth is still salivating. Ladies and gentlemen, please don't show up expecting a quick dinner, slow down and enjoy your company, the ambiance, the orchestral manoeuvres going on around you and enjoy a good wine or beer like I did and I pro.ise you that you won't be disappointed. I have a theory that if you're in a rush you will somehow ruin the taste of your meal and miss out on the experience of this special meal you're going to have. I had to tip generously and have word sent to the Chef of my gratitude for gifting me such a remarkable and unforgettable meal. Thanks to the great staff, you are doing a good thing here and please keep up the good work. I'll be bringing my family here soon. Good tidings and gratitude on my behalf to Outback Steak House I tip my hat off to you 🤠

We were visiting Santa Barbara to see family and ate dinner here. We haven’t been here since the pandemic, and glad that they offered outdoor dining. Our server, Chad, was very friendly and excellent. They were very busy yet our server and other staff were attentive. We enjoyed our delicious salad, bread, and dinner. We’ve been over the years and highly recommend.

Our waiter was great. Downhill from there. A $40 medium steak should not come out well done. Waited about 40 minutes for another one. Marinating a ribeye in teriyaki is a crime. Sorry I tried it. I specifically asked for a birthday cake for my daughter when I made my reservation. They said they would bring out a cheesecake for her. I had to go ask the hostess for it after our meal and she was sort of dismissive about it but finally got someone to bring out a small SLICE of cheesecake for the four of us. Aside from our waiter, this place was a huge disappointment

We loved this place but may not be going back after they turned us away one night just because they had a party of 20. We called ahead and they told us we couldn’t make reservations but could walk in. The staff was so rude to us because we had a party of 6. We asked if we could break up our party to 4 and 2 people but they refused. The worst part is that right as we were walking away, another party of 6 walked up with reservations that was allowed in … As SB locals who had this place on our go-to list, we feel very let down.
