Chuck's Of Hawaii - Santa Barbara

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.

We have going to chucks for over 40 years! Our favorite place to eat in Santa Barbara. Brian and Brad are the best. Great steaks and seafood. The best margaritas!

The salad bar and bread is very good. My steak is always cooked just the way I like it and everything always tastes great. The cocktails are also good.

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.

Definitely not in my list of best steaks I’ve ever had (contrary to what many told me). However, the amazing salad bar and crusty bread saved this from being a 3-star review. My medium-rare steak was more medium(-well). I think the ambience is special and the wait-staff is nice and accommodating. I’d go back to try something else other than steak (there are betters steaks in SB)
