Hunter Steakhouse Review

Good steak place. The outside look of the place looks outdated for me but the interior looks nice. We were a group of 11. Having a big group, we were seated after approximately an hour and a half. We occupied a private space at the second level which was a treat because we have privacy. The steaks and starters are great but the kid's meal are not the best. The French Fries are saltier than it should. Aside from the steaks, I personally liked the stuffed mushrooms and the calamari with a hint of spice. Service is regal and above my expectations. It was an overall nice experience that added texture to our family vacation.

Good environment and good service , reminds me of going over to Grandma's for supper, but the quality of food isn't what's to be expected from a steakhouse. Butter and mashed potatoes a bit to sweet for my taste and the soda tasted almost sour? Definitely expected more from a steakhouse but not the worst experience I've had at an establishment.

Delicious and generous portions with flavor and class to match.

The service was excellent. I ordered my steak rare, and it was cooked wonderfully. We also shared multiple apitizers and they were all amazing. The service was unmatched. I don't think my drink was ever empty for more then a moment.

This is a cute little rustic steakhouse. We called to see if we needed reservations, but were told they weren't busy on Monday. We arrived and they were extremely busy, so we sat in the bar and watched one person running around doing everything. My husband had the large Prime rib and said it was fantastic. I had a top sirloin which was dry and overcooked. I had the au gratin potatoes, which were loaded with onions, undercooked and had no cheese, this may be the reason that everyone around us was ordering baked . They had a wonderful table side salad and we had the spicy shrimp, which were extremely good.

This place was great!! Good food, drinks and good service..Highly recommend everyone to eat there!!

We ordered 2 filet mignon, one well done and the other one a little pink. Both came out raw, blood in the plate. Mashed potatoes were cold. For the Amount of money we spent, terrible terrible meal.
Will never go back.

1st time here. I chose to sit downstairs in the bar area. The lighting was good, not bright. Blues playing in the background. Almost real cozy atmosphere except for those bright color televisions. None or maybe some black white tubes would have been better. -
It wasn't crowded and the staff was nice. Service was prompt. The bread and sweet butter was fresh and warm. The salad came out promptly and then the main course which was Peppercorn Top Sirloin.
Price wise it kept me within the budget since I didn't spend money for food at the airport. - The potato was good, not undercooked or over mushy. The sauce to the meat was interesting. The meat was very average. I've had better at some of the buffets I go to. That's why only 4. I think that a steakhouse should be able to do better. It tasted dry and was a bit stringy. Bad cut I think. I did eat it all.

We came during San Diego restaurant week. Food was exceptional. Service outstanding. Our server Lenin was fantastic. Highly recommend this steak house. 1 million times better than Black Angus or Outback. We will be back!

Great chicken dish. Great location to crown Royal mission

Restuarant week specials were great. Lots of good food and very friendly servers.

It was really a disappointment, always went to Oceanside so much better service. And didn't have to wait so long...better food and service.

We were in San Diego for vacation and visited Hunters Steakhouse and "Skully" was our server, he was awesome. Couldn't ask for any better of a server! Food was great too!

They have the best Prime Rib! I think it was the best we ever had. Vicki and I recommend this restaurant.

Very good steaks and the salad table is very cool. See now you have to visit to see what that is. LOL

Good food and great service, my server was great and wonderful sense of humor

Authentic American steak restaurant, popular with locals. Affordable and delicious, especially the salad is impressive

The service was good. I ordered the salmon and it was good. The rest of the group didnt really enjoy the food.

Food is good, some items are spicy but not advertised as such. Will visit again

Great food, quick and friendly service, I can well recommend this restaurant.

While visiting San diego, I ordered a top sirloin steak from Hunters. The pic showed a juicy steak but what i got was a dried out piece of meat cooked to death....and a boiled potato that I didn't order. . The steak had no flavor or seasonings, salt, or pepper. Medium well was tough to cut and chew. There was no medium in this steak. Potato was an insult to injury. Never again. Ill stay with Outback next time.

Food was delicious and wonderful atmosphere. Even with the restaurant week rush, it felt like the wait staff was handling it pretty well albiet a little slow. Only recommendation is if you want wine you have to ask for a menu and there is no beer list ( but there are some on tap).

Service top! Food was terrible. I chose the NY Strip and wanted this medium-rare. The steak was then well done, which is a no-go in a steakhouse! Potato stick was also inedible! Too bad, as the atmosphere of the local promises more.

Tasty food on the super end of what I am used to pay in for. I would go back.

Came first night for take out, steak & seafood, food was great, prime rib, cooked just right, seafood scampi, delicious.
Second night prime rib again, good & ribs falling off the bone good. I recommend if in San Diego Hunters works for the food.

Visited on a Wednesday I think. Nothing but enjoyable experiences here. The place has an awesome feel to it.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Great price. CHRISTINA was the absolute best. All servers should be like her. We had the prime rib. The chef prepared our meal with absolute perfection.

I really wanted to vote this higher because I loved the staff. They were very down to earth and the steakhouse itself is set up really nicely. The steaks were just a bit gamey for the price. Great mixed drinks and potato wedges though!

we had dinner here last week, the steak was a bit over cooked for my taste. the customer server was excellent and the cocktails were very well topped off. I would recommend

Great when they want you, but forget big tips quickly

I was disappointed. The rib eye was flavorful but mostly fat and gristle.

The staff are very friendly and engaging. The foods is top notch and delicious.

Mom liked it. Very good steak and was seated near the fire place. Very comfortable and good service

Exceeded my expectations. Only a small wait with no reservations, food was excellent. Dress was from coat and tie to shorts and flip flops.

The cajun lamb chop appetizers are melt in your mouth to die for. The NY strip steak was cooked to absolute perfection. Due to virus they had outdoor dining which was really wonderful. I didn't have reservations so we had to wait only 20 minutes so not bad at all. Location is so close to everything.

Great steak, and potatoes au gratin were excellent also!

Decor is dated. Good is okay, my ribeye was underseasoned and my gf's salmon was dry

Food is great, especially the bread, yummy! Very friendly staff, definitely gonna be back!

Best stake I ever had, and honestly that might be a little bias as it was also the first time I've ever been to a proper steak house. Over all great food and service

Friendly bartender, cute interior. We sat downstairs at the bar. Really good shrimp scampi and mojitos!!

Horrible my prime rib was cold I ordered it m.rare ... so they re-fired and brought me back a cold med cooked prime rib .. so they wanted to "fix" it for me again but I said no because I would have cried if they brought me back anything other than what I ordered meaning a m.rare prime rib that wasn't cold

The only thing nice was my waitress,overpriced dry steak and beware seafood for the love of god , just left this place withing 20 minutes dying of dysentery.

I really was impressed. Really loved the food. Service was slow. But other then that. It was amazing

Best open faced prime rib sandwhich in town...hands down!!!

Nice low key steakhouse. Had a four course special with prime rib which was both a deal and satisfying.

I have been attending hungry hunter for yrs. And when I lived in san Marco's I attended hunter house 40yrs. later it's the identical beautiful food and service its identical, I recommend it 100% and I am amazed how it has stayed until today.

Worst seafood linguine i have had in my life. Not sure if there was an inexperience cook back in the kitchen, but they didn't't reduce their wine sauce properly and ended up getting a bowl of pasta swimming on wine. I'm sure the steaks may taste better...but dont put pastas if you cant cook them well. I didn't even eat my plate

My brother had taken my mother along with my wife and I. Cant say enough good things about Hunters. The service all the way to the end of our meal was outstanding. Food quality was amazing. Perfectly cooked steaks and the sides did not disappoint.

Superior service from the bartender 'Sampson'! Had the exceptionally tasty standard cut prime rib....holy cow (no pun) that was an extremely delicious dinner!! Enormous portion of rib, side,
and extra side. Would definitely return here if my journies brought me to this area!

Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced. Service is good as well as the food.

Last dinner with my great American Lady, before flying back to Amsterdam, Steak was great, so was the service, for me it was toooo dark, sure like candle light but.....

Went for restaurant week, all the food was good but the potato skins were absolutely amazing! Never had any this good.

Lovely meal with other guests. Hunter Steakhouse always does a wonderful job.

You won't be disappointed in the menu and service. Looking forward to a return trip.

Oh my my
One of the Greatest Original
Steak Houses left in San Diego is
Hunter's Steakhouse. It's the same as it was 30 years ago and that's definitely a Really Good Thing.

My husband and i had the porterhouse Steaks and their Infamous Au Gratin potatoes loaded with flavors of onion and bacon. My Steak was perfect as asked as was Jose's. Fresh steamed broccoli and baked potato for him.
Fresh baked pumpernickel bread with real butter stared us in the face as soon as we sat down.
Up next was our house salad tossed at the table with carrots, sprouts &mushrooms for me and cucumbers, onions, cherry tomatoes, croutons and fresh cheese towered Jose's plate with a perfect vinaigrette.

The picture of just the steaks on the plate was our leftovers from a 18oz. Porterhouse we each had and we had steak and eggs for breakfast.
The other pictures show our to go orders we got the following week.

This is a treasure still found in its original spot nestled off the 8 west directly across from DMV Mission Valley.
One of the very few Great Steak Houses left in San Diego is Hunter's
Yumm

Excellent steak and sides. We got filets and t bones. All were very good.

Great lunch, reasonable prices and they can grill a fantastic burger

It was my first time there, the food was great. The chief did an amazing job on the food. It was 2 everyone's one likening thank u .

Prime rib was what we came for and it didn't disappoint. Well seasoned, and "real" meat unlike some restaurants which serve a processed tasting prime rib. Au gratin potatoes are amazing and I enjoyed the tableside salad bar with a yummy honey mustard which tasted homemade. I had originally done 4 stars mostly because our server was a bit sickeningly sweet and the decor is older and dark feeling, but that was probably too harsh (it's more like 4.5plus) and I'll change it to 5.

Excellent, traditional restaurant. I had the New York steak and it was excellent. However, my wife's lamb chops had little meat on them. Recommend.

Great food. Prime Rib was fantastic. Atmosphere was a little dark.
