As always, delicious steak & well-prepared seafood. Still love the salad bar. Sides tasty, service very good. Chuck's vibe hasn't changed & that's a plus as well. Gets bustling as the evening goes on. Perfect special dinner for two, group celebration or anything in between. You can dine for a bit le...

If you love seafood....and I mean really love seafood, then there's no reason you shouldn't like this place...unless you're a priss. Order the King Crab Legs, order the sashimi with the hottest wasabi I've ever had in my life, and order some oysters. Period. Now go enjoy yourself....

I had an excellent experience at Chuck's! I don't get to visit Santa Barbara very often but Chuck's will now be a mandatory stop when I do! The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10, I can't wait to go back!

The menu is written on empty brown Lancer Wine bottles and offers a selection of fish, steaks and chicken and ...

I thought the steak was really tough (medium rare sirloin), and quite pricey for coming with only rice. The salad buffet is very basic with lettuce and a few basic toppings. I was very annoyed that the waiter put in my order for a soda with the cocktail waitress who then brought over a tiny glass wi...

Chuck's is always a special treat! Very laid back, dark and oldschool. A top choice for steak and salad bar. They also have a full bar with some interesting specialty drinks, like a "Spicy Ghost Pepper Margarita" Definitely a great place for happy hour, with some yummy food choices like "Steak Bite...

Awesome, and it remains consistent and a quality experience.
I worked in Chuck's San Mateo (Borel Estates) from 1966-1971 and went to this one in SB, 2015, and was thrown back to those days, 48 years ago.
Thanks Brian, asst Mgr., quality guy.
I'll be back.

Was coming to Santa Barbara for a comedy show at the Arlington. Only had 40 minutes to order and eat. NEEDED a steak. Called ahead and they assured me it wouldn't be a problem. They brought the food out within 10-15 minutes, leaving me plenty of time to enjoy their juicy sirloin and crab legs!!!...

Chucks has the best Ahi I ever. No joke try it out with both of their sauces and that rice is second to none. Bartenders are awesome. This is my place. I like to go where everybody knows your name, and their always glad you came. (Cheers) Sometimes I will go in the back and tell Jose ( the master ch...

Giving only 3 stars. Food not so great and tasty. During our stay here in Santa Barbara for 10 days visit we are surely impressed to all restaurants food tastes that weve been and tried. But not this one unfortunately.
I tried their hawaiin teriyaki chicken, it wasnt great at all. Not flavorful, me...

Chuck's is a very long-standing Santa Barbara institution, quite popular with the "happy hour, booze and steaks in a dark place" crowd. So if you don't care about the quality of any of those items, go ahead and enjoy. I have been there many times because friends have insisted, over my objections, so...

My boyfriend and I met a friend here on while on a trip. He arrived late and ordered about 10 minutes after us. He was served first, ate slowly and finished before our food was served. Since we were on a schedule we had to ask for our food to go. Unfortunately, by the time we were able to eat, the f...

Description for the halibut is "comes out very moist and flaky". It was served dry and tough. Excuse given was fresh halibut is out of season so the te...

I drove about 130+ miles looking for some place to actually sit down and have a nice dinner. Chuck's was my first ray of hope. Too much money, but I received great service and I didn't have to eat in my car. Well that's progress.

My family was driving from the LA area to surprise our daughter that lives in Santa Barbara for her birthday. I was tempted to choose another steak place in Ventura to not have to drive much further. I am so thankful we chose Chuck's of Hawai'i! Food was great! Service was fast and friendly. Wa...
