Another long time Santa Barbara favorite, Chuck’s offers traditional steakhouse fare with a Hawaiian flare. They have a selection of beef cuts to choose from (I prefer the New York strip, medium rare) and several non-steak options to accommodate most people’s tastes. Meals include a trip to the salad bar with amply sized plates and bowls to ensure you get enough. The food is good and I find the service equally good, even when it busy (which is often). There’s a full bar with separate seating if you’re so inclined or prefer an even more casual and social experience. That being said, the general vibe is very casual and it’s not unlikely to see people wearing anything from shorts and a t-shirt to slacks and a button up - not unlike many Hawaiian restaurants.

Chuck’s of Hawaii is an “Old School” but still cool fish and steak restaurant reminiscent of the Tiki Torch places of the 1970’s. It’s been open for over 50 years and still is very popular. The menu is written on empty brown Lancer Wine bottles and offers a selection of fish, steaks and chicken and scallops. There is a lively full service bar with a number of televisions for watching seasonal sports. They have a salad bar with a variety vegetables, salad greens and condiments plus several bins of warm fresh bread. I ordered the fresh Halibut which came perfectly cooked and seasoned. My dinner companion ordered the Ahi Tuna rare and again it was perfection. Well worth a visit when visiting Santa Barbara.

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.
