Chuck's Of Hawaii - Santa Barbara

After more than 30 years of dining experiences, I can confidently say that this restaurant ranks among the top 10 I've ever visited. The steaks and seafood are consistently outstanding. The service is wonderful—attentive and friendly without being intrusive. I highly recommend this place for special occasions as well as for regular meals. Thank you, Chuck's Steakhouse, for over 50 years of serving the community!

I could distinctly hear a heavy brass bell ringing whenever an order was ready. Although I couldn't see the bell, its tone conveyed a sense of weight and importance. Arriving with a healthy appetite, the combination of the beer and the pleasant ambiance only heightened my hunger. I realized I was in no rush for my meal; I had come to understand that a great dining experience requires patience. It was clear that the chef was taking his time to prepare my steak to perfection, and I was grateful for that. Outside of my mother’s cooking, this was truly the best steak I’ve ever had. I dined around 7 pm, and now, at 10:51 pm, I'm still savoring the flavors—it’s so good that I can’t help but salivate just thinking about it! Ladies and gentlemen, don’t expect a quick dinner here. Take your time, enjoy the company, savor the ambiance, and indulge in a good wine or beer like I did. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I believe that rushing can spoil the taste of your meal and distract you from the unique experience you’re about to have. I made sure to tip generously and sent my compliments to the chef for providing such an unforgettable meal. Thank you to the fantastic staff—you’re doing a wonderful job! I’ll definitely be bringing my family here soon. Best wishes and heartfelt gratitude to Outback Steak House; I’m tipping my hat 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.

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!

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
