Chuck’s Of Hawaii<\/h1>\n

Award Winning Steaks,Wines & Seafood Since 1967!<\/h2>\n

The Story of Chuck\u2019s Steakhouse of Hawaii \u2013 Santa Barbara<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1961, a fresh-out-of-college, Larry Stone set out to explore Hawaii, Australia, and Polynesia\u2014with the goal of surfing and skin-diving wherever, whenever possible. While waiting tables and bartending in Sydney, Australia, Larry began to develop an awareness of how to effectively run a business. With that hands-on knowledge, an entrepreneurial spirit, and financial endorsement from good friend, Chuck Rolles\u2014Founder of the original Chuck\u2019s in Hawaii, Larry was ready to open his own restaurant. The goal was simple: Quality food, in an informal setting. He thought Santa Barbara, CA would be the ideal place for such a restaurant, but his vision of quality food paired with a laid-back Hawaiian theme left many area landlords shaking their heads in disapproval. That is, all but one. Fortunately, Larry met the late Harold Sumida, whose (then) newly constructed two-story building on Santa Barbara\u2019s Upper State Street was in need of one additional tenant. In 1967, Larry opened the doors to Chuck\u2019s Steak house of Hawaii.<\/p>\n

For 56 years, the restaurant has stayed true to sole owner, Larry\u2019s vision. Its tiki torches burn bright; its interior has been a sea of Captain\u2019s chairs and hatch-cover tables\u2014a nod to sailing and traveling the South Pacific.<\/p>\n

Today, patrons are able to have an exceptional experience, create new memories, and yes\u2014for many, reminisce about the celebrations and times spent in one of their most beloved Santa Barbara destinations for dining and entertaining.<\/p>\n

We take great pride in our unwavering commitment to meeting each and every guest\u2019s individual taste and exceeding expectations. We accomplish this by:<\/strong><\/p>\n
