I was pleasantly shocked on the food quality. Very very good. Much better than the Santa Maria location. Why the 4 stars. One shot of tequila was 10 bucks. Crazy over priced. Still a good experience. Pricy. read more

We stopped to charge our car, and I feel this was a great spot! The staff was really friendly when we walked in and we got seated right away! The food was fresh and it was great. We even took some wine to go. I will most likely stop by here again when we take a trip down there! It was soo nice! read more

Stumbled across this place yrs ago. Met family for a mid-point between homes and once again didn't disappoint. Had ordered too much appetizers, well, didn't have to cook dinner. Simple decor theme of cowboy/cowgirl, perfect. Our server is a fun personable lady. read more

We loved this steakhouse ! My husband raved about the iced tea ( he's very picky) and the chicken pot pie soup. I had the tri tip which was delicious and cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were also tasty and I enjoyed the beans which were not spicy . The bbq sauce was just how I like it ( not too sweet) and the salad smelled very fresh . My husband had the grilled chicken sandwich and liked that as well. Definitely will want to stop by again if in the area. Nice patio for our pup who was also provided with a water bowl. Great service too ! Thank you for being so attentive . read more

We never tried Cool Hand Luke's so we thought we'd stop in for dinner. They have a very limited beer and wine selection, none of which appealed to me, so I drank water. The salads were fine and the ribs and prime rib were good. The overall feeling I got was that the restaurant needed a deep cleaning, nothing in particular was dirty, just the result of serving so much smoked/grilled meat over time. Service was cordial and efficient. Not sure if we'll be back. read more

Bought a $60, 20 oz T-bone steak to go and left a $10 tip. Got home and found half of the 20 oz T-bone steak was missing, like it had been pulled off of the bone. Aside from that, the food was good. Insure the full 20 oz. Steaks are in the to go bag. read more

Great time with wonderful friends! Fun bar - love the music. Shout out to Paul in the bar! We will be back:)

Fun saloon atmosphere with well made drinks and pretty good steak. Think of Outback Steakhouse on steroid. I'd come back with hesitation in the future. read more

My husband and I visit this place every time we come to Paso Robles. We prefer the bar area. Most of the patrons are from the area and it has a great vibe. The food is always good and the bartender is absolutely amazing. She takes care of the entire bar area with efficiency and a smile on her face the whole time. A great place to enjoy some good food, drinks and watch some sports. read more

Came here for a late night dessert run. The Mile High Chocolate Cake was so delicious, incredibly moist, decadently chocolate without being too dense in your mouth. Would get again. The whipped cream was nice and thick not the thin consistency spray from a bottle type. The strawberry pie was addicting to eat because of the fruity strawberry but this probably had the lowest execution as the body of the strawberry pie was not cream cheese or custard but a light texture mix of the two. The strawberry syrup was a tad bit thin and artificial in consistency. The cookie was yummy but not very well made. It was thick, hardened butter cookie. The blend of the ice cream saved it. I wouldn't get the cookie or strawberry pie next time and they're both equals in my eye so if you're deciding between the two just go for presence of the day. read more

Read the reviews had to check out the hype. You absolutely MUST go during happy hour and get the combo meal deals for like $20 bucks or less. It will save you so much from the standard dinner menu. Wish we snagged that deal but we came 30 minutes late after it ended. read more

Cool Hand Luke's Steakhouse - See any gravy? - American Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We sat in the bar area and were served by Tina. She did a great job making recommendations. We started with her HH bacon wrapped shrimp. The HH menu offers great food and drink specials all day. We shared a rib/steak combo that came with salad, bread, beans, and broccoli. The bread comes from a local bakery. The beans are made in house. I highly recommend this restaurant for good food at fair prices. read more

This is my first time dining in the Paso Robles area, I don't usually like to eat by myself when I go out to eat, but tonight I did. And I'm really glad I did! My server's name was April and she was absolutely amazing, the hostess was very kind and caring, and even the other people were very sweet. Despite me eating by myself, I didn't feel so lonely! The hospitality was on point and the service was impeccable! The food was absolutely delicious and the meat on those ribs pulled off the bone perfectly . You could come here with your family or even by yourself and still have a good time! I'm really glad that I chose to come and thank you April for giving me an amazing time! Hope to go again soon. read more

For the price of 15 Oz cooked medium rare was tougher then a well prime rib which can only mean one thing yesterdays and noy fresh. The mashed potatoes seemed off maybe microwaved in plastic sorry to say $80 bucks with a margarita that was something I could make better with a costco pre mixer you have to do better. Im on the hunt for prime rib and this ant it ruined my whole week thinking about it. read more

We had Tina as our server today! She was super quick on getting our drinks and food to our table. Her attitude was amazing!

We love this locals watering hole! One of the best spots for price point and quality of food in downtown Paso. Happy Hour selections are stellar; fun fact: the grilled shrimp tacos are fire. So much variety on the menu! -- and the steaks are supreme. Wait staff and bartenders make you feel like family. Go see Kaleb and crew at the bar! read more

So glad we took a chance on this place. Only a 5 minute wait. Food was hot and fresh. Price was amazing. Very roomy booths. Ambiance is cozy western vibe. Service was amazing. read more

One star and that's being kind....I wish I could give negative. After a long drive from Orange County to Paso Robles all we were looking for was a delicious meal to end our night and start our weekend getaway off to a great start. Unfortunately we picked the wrong spot. Cool Hand Lukes sounded like they would be a great place for a steak. The reviews weren't great, but we thought...let's give it a try maybe they were just having a bad day. We should have listened. One yelper had stated in a review the place looked like it needed a deep cleaning and boy does it. I saw dust and cobwebs everywhere. We sat in a booth that would accommodate maybe 4-6 people but I had to scooch all the way in because there was a giant tear in the seat and I didn't want to sit in the hole! I ordered the steak bites which came in a skillet with baby bella mushrooms. This was actually pretty good, the toast it was served with was a bit cold but the steak and mushrooms had great flavor although a lot of the steak pieces were kind of burnt so I didn't get much food for $38. My husband on the other hand ordered a filet mignon medium and when it arrived it was well done. We aren't ones to complain and send food back but he pointed it out to the waiter who asked well you can keep that steak and I'll give you a discount or I can bring you a new steak. We don't care much about the cost. We will pay for a great meal happily. My husband just wanted to enjoy his meal. He asked for a new steak. The "new" steak came out medium RARE, it was also stringy. I am not sure how a filet can even be stringy but this was. My husband also said the steak tasted "off" like it was old or maybe just at the point where the meat was about to turn. He was so grossed out that that officially ended our night there. We asked for the bill. Our waiter, Alex, who must have seen our faces and my husband's plate let us know he gave us a discount. 20%, which was nice of him but I wish he had paid more attention to the food he was bringing out to us from the kitchen. You would think a place charging $50 for a steak would ensure the meat is quality and its being cooked to your preference. My husband, who is a steak and potatoes man all the way, said this was by far the WORST steak he had ever had. He in fact, felt a bit ill all weekend and blamed the little bit of steak he had eaten for this. We would not ever come back to Cool Hand Lukes and honestly are a bit surprised a place with somewhat abysmal reviews in still in service. If you decide to eat here all I can say is...GOOD LUCK! read more

Worse prime rib I've ever been served. Sent the whole plate back. Got charged for it anyway. Never again. Wife's steak wasn't too stellar either. read more

Service has improved greatly! Appetizers were delicious and hot. Drinks were on point and strong. Bourbon salmon was a little to sweet and savory for myself but cooked well. read more

My tri tip was COLD and so was my Bake Potato, it was so cold the butter wouldn't even melt! I returned the whole meal and ate a roll and beans instead. As it turned out the other people in our group bake potatoes were also cold. The quality of food has gone downhill in the Paso Robles location. read more

In my opinion: Great greeting from staff on arrival. Second time here within a year. Prices high for what you get on their early bird specials. Tiny tiny piece of steak and potato. And steak was tough. Off night? I was not impressed last time I was here either when I ordered a full meal. Salad with Tri tip was ok size on early bird special. Tritip steak on salad was cold and tough. Left overs?? Why are the sides not listed on the special? Wait staff could not list them. Early bird menu has item that they no longer serve. Hey...take a black marker and cross it out. If you no longer serve it...why did the wait staff not know until 15 minutes (or more) after all our orders were placed? Hey... you all that comment on better steak houses in the area...where are they? Cuz I wanna know. Hoping if I go back...I can update review to something better. Not my choice of place to go, but it was only steakhouse friend knew in town and I was out voted. read more

The onion bloom was great! That was my favorite. My wife had the Whiskey Steak and it was tender and delicious. I had the rib eye and it was pretty good but not as tasty as my wife's steak. It was on the thin side and some parts were a little chewy. For the price it is not bad. The service was good and the waitress was very nice and provided good service. The environment is the same as what you would expect from other Luke's. It is a chain. Overall I was satified with our experience. read more

We were craving chicken fried steak and thought we would come here and try theirs. Service here has always been friendly! We loved having Sherri as our waitress. She was attentive, friendly, answered any question we had. She brought out the bread and beans right away, which comes with any entree you order. The we got our artichoke hearts as our appetizer. Hot, crispy and flavorful. She brought us a sample of their chicken pot pie soup and WOW! So delicious and creamy. Would get that next time as a meal. Then we shared a chicken fried steak plate with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Delicious !! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Definitely will be back when the craving strikes. read more

Great spot with an even better bartender! His Bartender's Special was fantastic.. easily one of the best drinks I've had in a while. Friendly, talented, and somehow manages to make great cocktails while looking great doing it. Will definitely be back! read more

Would not be my first choice for a restaurant around Paso Robles when there's a lot of cool local spots but came for a pre-arranged group dinner anyways. It's very close walking distance to the central park and the food was edible and although they have the space and parking for large parties the wait staff was friendly but seemed under equipped to take multiple large orders even off a prix-fixe menu for the dinner gathering. read more

Do not come here. There's so many amazing steakhouses in this area and this place is far below mediocre. The service is terrible. The waitress couldn't even even tell us about any of their wines. The steak was very undercooked and had to send it back and just no flavor and mediocre meat. How is this place still in business? read more

Steak & bake rare & lots of butter & chives& sour cream & alone margarita I want to order this NOW

Cocktails were a fail. We ordered 3 old fashioneds which should have bees easy, but they were actually different colors, not consistent. 3/4 of the meals were unacceptable, from overcooked shrimp to poor salads. My dinner was good, Salmon with broccoli and a darden salad. Server was good. Lastly, they had booked a seminar in the next room. The speaker was so loud, that we had to move to another table. They should not book events like that while other diners are there. Will not be returning. read more

I always have a good experience when dropping into the saloon. Paul, the bartender is warm and friendly. He even remembered my drink order the second time I came in, and every time since. I typically stop in for a snack and beer after work or when charging my car in the parking lot. The food is quick, tasty, and reasonably priced. read more

To the waitress training a new server: You lost your tip tonight because you refused me the nightly special because YOU showed up to the table 3 minutes after 6pm. Then tried to tell me I couldn't order it because the computer (POS) you use to put the order in won't let you Hello......Not all your customers are ignorant. You might not be working in a michelin restaurant, but you work for tips, DON'T ever call someone "Hon" or "Mame" Not only is it disrespectful, but sounds nasty and condescending. Since you're the trainer for your store it might be a good idea to U-tube how to be a server in a sit down restaurant. Bringing the bill before the table is done eating, is rude. Shouldn't you try to "Upsale" and offer us dessert? Sorry, but you need LOTS more training if you want to make the BIG tips! read more

I liked going here, but the price has gone up and the salad, bread and beans are now extra charge. The stakes are good but you only get stakes and potato for $18.00. I don't think that's a good deal anymore. I won't be going back. I talked to the very young manager and he didn't seem to know what to say. read more

My boy did us a solid on the last road trip for travel ball. I let him pick the place and what he wanted to eat because we got there and settled a little late for the team dinner. Apps, dinner and desert were all solid. So many things to choose from. My steak was on point and he completely cleaned his plate. We were so impressed that we grabbed the menu and decided what we were getting for dinner the next night with the rest of the fam as we decided there and then we were coming back. 2 for 2 guys. Thanks!! read more

Had an excellent meal here. Prices were reasonable considering the prices of eating out these days. Especially compared to downtown Paso. Green salad was generous and bleu cheese was crumbles and dressing excellent. Steak with mushrooms was good the way I ordered it. Waitress was fry and attentive. Overall very good experience. read more

I love coming here for Happy Hour Especially for the food. Today I had the fried mushrooms, fried artichokes and the Buffalo. Must sit in the saloon area. They have an early special for Dinners and reasonable prices. Next time. My bartender/server was exemplary. When I left around 4:30 pm started to fill up. I personally love this place and the Western look. read more

Food was bad at best mediocre. Beef and prime rib were horribly overcooked. Salmon very dry. On a positive note our waitstaff was wonderful. The issues are with the kitchen. This is a family restaurant not anywhere close to a steakhouse. read more
