Probably one of my worst experiences there as we are frequent flyers there. Beer was served warm I ordered a tri tip that was similar to eating a rubber ball and our waiter never came to see if we needed anything nor asked us if we wanted dessert. Won't be back after tonight :/ read more

First time eating here last night and it was great. We sat at the bartop and had dinner. The bartender, Matt, was very friendly. After checking our IDs he called us both by first name for the rest of the evening, which was very hospitable. Food came out fast and hot. No complaints here. We'll be back. read more

Just had the worst experience at Cool Hand Luke's. Arrived at the restaurant at 6:15pm and went to the Host/Hostess station and put our name on the list and was told it was a 30 minute wait. Ok fine, I told the hostess we will be waiting outside as there was no available room inside to sit. We sat outside and soon 40 minutes had past so I went inside and inquired as to our status and was told by a tall blonde girl that she was working as fast as she could to seat everyone and it would be another 15 minutes and we were 4th down on the list. Ok fine told her again we will be waiting outside. We saw groups outside as well as inside being seated so went and checked again because it seemed more than 4 parties had been seated. She now said we were next on the list. Again told her we were waiting outside. Once again saw 3-4 more parties seated so went in to check to be told that we were already seated...Ummmm no not if we are still standing in front of you we have not been seated. They did not offer to seat us next or anything just said I'm going to have to ask my co-workers what is going on. Well what's going on is either you didn't write down the names correctly or someone else took our seats and you should have at least offered to make it right by seating us immediately. After 1 1/2 hours wasted we walked out without eating and am sitting at another establishment enjoying our dinner! Thanks for nothing! read more

Unfortunately, Cool Hand Luke's has new ownership and management and that has created challenges for this location. The food portions are smaller, the prices increased, the food quality appears to have declined, the bottomless salads with the meals have stopped because of a shortage of lettuce and more. It seems that our family and friends are also having these experiences after we noticed them. read more

I'm always happy with the service I receive here, most recently from Whitney who was attentive and very friendly. The happy hour appetizers are delicious and the drinks and strong! Love coming here for a low key girl's night out. read more

Great steakhouse food. Great service and cozy atmosphere. Informal and fun. Great bar too!

We had our first visit, thanks to the new lunch hours! Our waitress Nikki was the best and very helpful. We will be back. For lunch of course. read more

Thought very high of this steakhouse, haven't been in a while. I ordered cool hand combo, BBQ ribs, med rare steak and baked potato. Got 2 ribs, a decent baked potato, and a steak. My steak was very undercooked, had to send it back after I had cut in half. It came out and was undercooked still, very dark when I cut it in all again. I was done eating at that point and just wanted to talk with my family I didn't even care about the little steak that I wasn't even sure what cut it was. The manager comped my entrée but my entire steak experience was ruined. They gave me the steak in a to go box (that had been thrown back on the grill 3 times and cut up) and it tastes decent today, but this restaurant used to be my favorite and now, after this, I'd rather go to Westwoods. read more

Service was great - a very well-run ship from the hostesses to the wait staff. Ordered the 10 oz. prime rib and it was a major disappointment. Went in on a Saturday at 7 p.m. so it's not like I was there on a Tuesday afternoon when you wouldn't expect them to bring their A-game. The prime rib did not have a good color to it and it was dry. Possibly the worst prime rib ever. It's the only time I've ever eaten there so I can't speak to the quality of any of their other food items. I would go back and give them another chance because the service level was so high. Very friendly, professional, and fast group of employees! read more

One of the best restaurants in Clovis! Staff is always great and helpful. Food is amazing and cooked just right. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a cool steakhouse! read more

Service is always great and quick. The food is always delicious. Usually sit in the bar, and the service there is always quick and efficient. The Burgers and steak bites are definitely a must while you are there! Don't forget dessert everything is always so good! read more

Great service, quick and friendly. Although the food is never cooked correctly, especially when ordered for pickup. I asked for medium rare on two entrees, one was extra rare and seemed like they stuck it in the microwave for 30 seconds, my wife's steak bites were well done and dry. I'm not giving up completely, but it may be a while until I go back. read more

I serve at to make ends meet, so as a server I go in with a certain expectation. I expect what i give to my guest. Cool hand lukes disappointed me. If team memebers are busy I dont mind waiting 15 minutes to put in an order/drink order. Watching the staff stand around. Hug eachother, laugh and goof off while i sat there hungry as heck was not cool. I had to ask for serv ice in order to get it. I never got silvrewear until i was almost done with my meal. And at the end of my meal the server gave me the wrong card that i kept open for mytab. What if i was a thief i could have walked away with someone elses identity. O nly one young man even spoke to us and helped us throughout the night, it was the busser. I want to be in a friendly atmosphere where i feel like i am not invisible or a nuisance. I will not return to this establishment. read more

Jamie is a super fantastic server! Great food! Great environment! More than enough food! Be careful about an appetizer, you get a basket full of incredible biscuits and chill ahead of time. read more

We loved everything about this place. Half off wine Wednesday was a treat. We came in around 7pm for dinner. The food was cooked to perfection and the service should get 6 stars. We just moved to the area from Long beach, Ca so we are looking for a restaurant we can frequent regularly. They got my vote. read more

I remember going here awhile back and so I tried it again today the service was OK but the steak was the real problem it tasted with no flavor and it was real small but everything else was good but jest the steak read more

This my first time eating at this place. One thing I was amazed by was that the restaurant was very western themed which had various props pictures etc. that symbolizes the western frontier. The place was also very clean and easy to walk around. Seating wasn't too bad and was surprisingly pretty quiet when I went there. The waiters seemed pretty nice and did their job well. Once I got my food (Tri-tip sandwich) I noticed that the meat wasn't nearly warm enough. The side came with okay french fries and ketchup. I think if they would have cooked my meat a bit warmer, I would have made it around a 4.5 stars. But I give this 4 stars mainly because the meal I got was $13.75 and I was kinda expecting it to have a unbelievable liking. In the end still a great place nonetheless. read more

Food is always great! Love eating in the bar area when it's just my husband and I sans kiddos. The only issue we've had is that if you go later on in the day they tend to run low on certain cuts of steaks. Which in one way is good because we know they don't buy in huge bulk and lends more to the meat being fresh, but it's a bummer when you're really crazing a certain thing and they're out. read more

Last time we ate there with several friends, and I was surprised to find a New York Strip steak on my plate when I had ordered Ribeye, my usual. I asked the waitress to explain, and she returned it to the kitchen. Within a couple minutes, she returned with the steak and said; "The chef says it's a Ribeye, because it comes with mushrooms, and there's mushrooms on it!" I can tell a Ribeye from a NY strip...I'll go back if we're invited by friends, but only if... read more

Came here for the first time tonight with my son who was requesting ribs for dinner. Was greeted right away by 2 staff and seated promptly. Had Robin as our serve and she did an amazing job. She managed her section well and appeared to have given great service to all her guest. Being personable and very patient and helpful with the menu. Everything came out in a timely manner and all tastes great. Had BBQ ribs, garlic mashed potatoes and the blooming onion. Everything was seasoned just right even the house bread and butter was great. Like that they serve their drinks in large kern jars so you're not needing a refill every 5 minutes. The food was great but Robin made the experience. We'll be back. read more

!!!Rude staff!!! My girlfriend and I were waiting on the benches in front of the restaurant for some friends to join us for lunch and a staff member rudely told us to leave and that we couldn't sit there. I believe it was because of our age and being a school next door but if not the case then I have no Idea why they would treat their NEW customers in such a rude way. Anyways, terrible place rude staff wouldn't recommend until they get some new staff... read more

Great steak house not only the service was on point but the steak was not only well seasoned but cook on point. The waiter Jasmine took care of my kids first felt like I was at home. I recommend this place.... read more

Was in early 4:00 pm service was great but there wasn't very many people in there i got the 18 oz. Rib eye steak was terrible very little flavor and alot of ligaments was so hard to cut and alot of fat the last three times i was in the steak was not good they used to have great steaks what happened buying cheap steaks. I won't be going back anymore. read more

The steak is not that good. For it to be a steak I expected more. The seasonings are just not there meat was very tough also

We used to come here all the time with family and it was so good. Came here tonight and it was awful. My steak was rare, service was awful, and I was so disappointed. What happen to this place??? read more

I've eaten at Cool Hand Lukes 3 times in the last 4 months. Each time the food has been excellent. The Filet Mignon is perfectly cooked. Tender and Juicy ! Service is great. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants a great meal. read more

Curt was a great waiter and I recomend the Sirloin steak. Had a great night with my wife here!

Had my 2nd dinner special in 2 weeks here (birthday) and this place deserves to be the top steakhouse in our county. It's run like a small family eatery except on a larger scale. The starters are great but the soups take top honors. My wife and I had one of the best chicken enchilada soups ever. We both had their small rib eye with toppings special and the steak was just perfectly cooked and seared. I had to have the pilaf so that I could slather the beans on top of my rice, hog heaven. This place was run like a well oiled machine. It's perfect for Clovis. read more

It pains me to write this review. I have been a faithful Luke's lover for several years, and my husband I have made it our regular haunt for steak in the Fresno area, but our last experience left a bitter taste in our mouths and we're not going back- which actually saddens me. First off, small changes have taken effect lately at Cool Hand Luke's, but I could have looked past that. They have traded out their classic butter pats for some whipped garlic spread, which is sub par. Portions have also changed slightly, but again I could live with that because we love their rolls, salads, and usually their meat. We dined with friends after church a few weeks ago. The service was absolutely lousy, and the restaurant was not crowded (to say the least), so it wasn't a case of being understaffed and overly crowded. Our friends ordered one of the meal platters that comes with 2 meats, etc., and the serving was TINY compared to the normal amount of food. We are all regulars, so we were well aware of how large the average portions are. Our waitress rarely stopped by, our drinks were hardly ever refilled, and even when our friends complained about the portion (since they had ordered the same thing a mere 2 weeks before), they did nothing to compensate or explain. Still, I would have gone back after all of this, except for the end of our experience at lunch. We got our bill, and I paid cash, including tip. I am always a 20%+ girl, and I will only leave less under truly terrible circumstances. My husband was NOT amused by the service, and insisted I leave less than normal. So, I still left a tip although it wasn't our normal fare. So, we left our cash, our friends paid their bill and left an equally small tip because of the same complaints, and we went on our way. We stopped at the restroom, were milling about in the lobby chatting, cooing over their baby, and were still hanging out in the lobby when our waitress came up to me. She insisted I had shorted her $5. The funny thing was, she didn't want to hand me the folder, and when she did, there were bills in there but it wasn't the same bill folder we had put our money in. She basically accused me of not paying the whole bill, which I found comical, since we were obviously in no rush to leave. I am meticulous with my money, and knew exactly how much cash we had when we sat down at Luke's for lunch, as I had JUST counted it before we sat so I knew exactly what we could afford in cash. She ran off and didn't even wait to talk to me or for me to give her the extra cash. I grudgingly put five more dollars in, against my husband's suggestion that we take it up with the manager, and we left. The best part was, when I sat down in the car and recounted our cash, I was exactly $5 short. Coincidence? I. Think. Not. Pretty sure our friend the lousy waitress wanted a bigger tip, and that was the way she decided to take matters into her own hands. So, while I love Luke's, I'm not exactly a fan of being over charged and taken advantage of. No worries though, because Outback, Cattlemen's and Tahoe Joe's have proven absolutely fabulous :) read more

Very good food. Not the best steak in town but still delicious. Reasonable price and you'll leave full.

i ate here twice already and its wonderful. great service and also great food. i have nothing bad to say about it.. will definitely eat here again and recommend it to everyone who lives or visits the Clovis area read more

We went to this place on a recommendation from someone in our group. First problem was that I put in an drink order and an appetizer, after 15 min I ask about my drink which was just a bottle of beer, the waiter said the bartender was working on it. He brought out all the drinks and brought me a wrong beer, he took it back and came back with the same drink and said they were out of what I ordered and ask if I wanted the wrong one. After that the appetizer's came out, but the one I ordered, I asked about it, the waiter said he'll check on it, he brought out our salads, still no appetizer, I ordered NY strip medium well, and asparagus. The steak was well done and dry, the asparagus was cold and burnt. Sent the asparagus back. Waiter told me that there was mistake with appetizer and ask if I still wanted them, at this point in the meal, no! I never received my asparagus. The service was horrible, from start to finish. The prices that they charge for there food are over priced for the quality of there service. I'll never be going back to this place again. read more

I am very surprised that Cool Hand Luke's has a decent rating because this restaurant is one of the worst restaurants I have ever eaten at! I came here for lunch on a weekend and was expecting a decent steakhouse meal. Well boy was I wrong... First off, when I arrived inside the waiting room there was no hostess! May I remind you that it was on a lunch hour (1:00). Since it was my first time, I thought that you could choose your seat or something. But another couple came in and they were looking for the hostess too. So finally after about 10 minutes the hostess came and seated us. Well I must say the decor is not too bad, but there's more. When we got our food it looked pretty decent... Until we ate it! The steak didn't even taste like steak! It was too chewy and reminded me of a slightly better tasting mcdonald's patty with some steak seasoning on it! The beans and salad was also disgusting with nasty toppings. Luckily the bread was decent, but come on! Lastly, the food wasn't even cheap! $20 for a crappy meal... No thank you. read more

I am a ardent restaurant patron. I eat out all the time and all over California. I happen to have tried to eat at Cool Hand Luke's 3 separate times. Each time upon arrival well after the opening time posted 4 pm the front door was locked. No one answers when we knock and the last time I called the restaurant from the parking lot at 4:35 pm and no one answered. That is scary to me. I actually fear going there if it is so ill managed and uninterested in serving food. Who owns this place? Who manages this place? What on earth is wrong there? read more

It was my better halfs Bday earlier in the week so wanted to take her to a place where it wouldn't be too loud and have a good meal. I heard from a friend that the BBQ chicken was good at cool hand Lukes so gave it a go. Just to be completely truthful before I go on with my review me personally have a pretty high standard of cleanliness and hygene standards when it comes to food and eating at food establishments. It may be because I have worked at so many fast food places in my teens and throughout my life and the fact that I ran a couple fast food joints for over 5-6 years in my early twenties and still up until 2016 have my serv safe food management certification. So this review may seem harsh but in my opinion may not be harsh enough. We arrive sit in lobby on a comfortable couch waiting to be seated for like 10 minutes pretty quick because they seemed pretty busy. Got seated ordered a side of potato skins they tasted pretty good, got the bourbon chicken deal like 12.50 for a plate my better half got the salmon deal same price, waited for the food to come out for like 20-30 minutes, then waited some more for the chicken and at that point across from us we had seen someone leave and another couple get seat get all their apps and their main course and we were still waiting for our main course, but I just wanted to give a chance and make the best of the night all is forgiven if the food is good right? well had to ask the bus boys for napkins none at the table finally got our main course but did not receive silverware? so had to ask a different busboy for silverware. I looked at this dish and was so disgusted I got a clump of rice pilaf and literaly 6-7 thin lightly BBQ strips of chicken on a bed of lettuce and that was their pathetic attempt at a meal, its chicken man, one of the least expensive food items and you want to serve what would be the equivalent of 4 chicken selects at mc donalds portion wise for twelve bucks! I was heated but keep it to myself, didn't want to spoil the night. Ate my food and did so quickly because I just wanted to head out of there. One good point was that my betterhalf liked the salmon dish she ordered and that to me was great. As long as she was happy. So on the last bite of rice pilaf I felt something like a string in my mouth, I immediately tasted hair, got a napkin spit out the contents into it and sure enough a long blonde hair was in my food, I immediately gave the hair in a napkin to my better half to give to the server or to whoever it belonged to, just to clarify my better half has dark brown hair. after that jumped up headed to the front desk asked for the managers name and got her card and sat in the lobby for and waited for my better half. I was not in a good mood felt sick to my stomach and I just chewed on someones hair. super grossed out I wanted to really give them a piece of my mind but let my better half handle it, didn't want to ruin the night. They comp our food which I don't see that they had a choice, they apologized. I know things happen but from the brief experience I got here I believe this establishment poorly managed and their food handling is not up to par. I could only imagine what goes on in the back of the house if the front is so poorly taken care of. So horrible experience will never go back to this place, unless the health inspector personally would vouch for this place on television with their hand on a holy bible is the only reason I would take another chance but knowing that will never happen I would recommend that my fellow yelpers never ever ever ever go here. Unless you like rice blondehair laced pilaf read more

We were part of a large party. The waiter provided excellent service and the food was great!! We'll be back..

The atmosphere is fun. The food is usually really good, and if it isn't they offer you something else because they really want you to leave happy. We have had Michelle serve us twice and Angela served us once.They were both awesome! Michelle had us try the artichoke hearts and we loved them. Then she vouched for their bread pudding, and if you haven't tried it, go in and get it! Angela had us in and out when we told her we were trying to catch a movie. Courtney was our bartender all three times and we liked her drinks. She got us hooked on The Duke and The Showgirl. We are not regulars anywhere, but when we do go out, we choose Lukes. read more

I used to enjoy coming here but, sadly, I won't be going back. Since the last time I went there the prices have gone up 5-8 bucks and they re-did their menu. The steak was ok but the crab stuffed prawns were nasty. It had to have been canned meat and I don't know what it was mixed with. The spicy beans are no longer spicy (I usually can't eat them). It was really sub-par and I'm diasspointed. The lighting has also gotten really dark and it almost wanted to pull out my phone and use it as a flashlight. read more

I went to Cool Hand Luke's last night and I absolutely hated the tri-tip sandwich. Like do they know how to cut the meat thinner? Who wants to bite into a thick chunk of meat?! Anyways, the jalapeños poppers were yummy. read more

I am amazed after reading some of the negative reviews on here. Maybe my family and I have just gotten lucky each time we've gone. I am by no means a steak virgin. I love me a good steak. CHL has never disappointed! I'd go as far as to say it's better than Tahoe Joe's. The food has always been flavorful, steaks cooked to perfection, and portions are huge. We always end up leaving with almost a complete meal for the next day because there is so much. They start out by serving sourdough rolls with butter and campfire beans, and if you add an appetizer (the fried green beans are the BEST! Flavorful, crispy, and spicy) you're almost full before your main entrée even gets to your table. They will gladly serve an additional basket of rolls upon request as well. We've never had an issue with unreliable service either. Service has always been consistent and timely, though sometimes the servers seem a little rushed and you get the feeling that they are understaffed. The strawberry pizza is a little pricey at $7 a slice in my opinion, but it is out of this world good. Give this place a try if you're in the area! read more
