Great steak at a reasonable price. We went for the early dinner special. Service was good.

This is my favorite place for a special meal. The food is wonderful and the staff,excellent. I hosted eight of my family there last night and we were all very satisfied. My fee from the family (78 y/o grandma), is a tasting bite of whatever I fancy and it did not disappoint Texas Roadhouse is OK I guess, but Cool Hand Luke's is definitely the winner read more

Not sure what happened to cool hand Luke's but the food is terrible and not to mention unsafe. I took my 33 week pregnant sister out on mother days and this is what we were served. Be safe !! read more

Assistance - Balance - Cleanliness + Deliciousness - Environment + Our server seemed put out and rushed us. The amount of food for the price was off balance, less food for the expense. Restaurant and restrooms were clean. Filet Mignon was freezer burned and cooked frozen, indicators were obvious, rare inside full of water, charred burned outside. The environment was wonderful, as most Cool Hand Luke's locations, very western. I cannot give this location more than 2 stars. Sorry. read more

Service was good but that could be because we were one of very few parties at 5 pm on a Saturday. We ordered two meals, one with an "upgrade" to the side salad to a Caesar. That was a $5 cost for their version of a side salad Caesar--a handful of romaine lettuce with bottled dressing and croutons so hard you couldn't eat them. My husband's streak had a strange,"processed"-like texture and taste. Lastly, we were celebrating a birthday so my husband quietly told the server. What they brought out was a smaller version of a pizzokie, no candle, no singing, then charged is $12 for it. I've never been a big fan of Cool Hand Luke's but this is where the birthday boy wanted to go. Never again! read more

so first of all we had a big party and the server was trying to trick us to leave by saying the ac wasn't working and that it was insanely hot which it wasn't that bad yes it was a tad hot but it was almost 100 degrees all day and as we sat down and stayed the server had a very bad attitude and the food took a lot longer than usual and two of the steaks ordered were over cooked asked for medium got well burnt and we sent it back and when we were getting them back we only got one back because surprise they messed up one of the steaks and by that point the whole table was done so we got that steak to go! great job cool hand luke's messed up a family dinner didn't even try to do anything to make it right read more

If you have taste buds you may not like this place. I've eaten here twice and that was two times too many. I can't say that I liked anything. I guess the water was good. While the server was nice, she wasn't around much. The food runner brought out the entrees before our salad plates and soup bowls were cleared. He stood there with the plates until we cleared off our plates. He seems baffled on what to do. read more

Walked in and got sat right in. Waiter was very nice and charismatic. She could have checked in a bit more , but besides that the food was great. Everything tasted fresh, my steak was cooked perfect. You never miss cool hand Luke's! read more

Went to early dining here on a weekday. Service was good; wasn't crowded. They have an early dining menu before 6pm Sunday thru Thursdays and a special for selected drinks. All meals come with campfire beans ( which were nice and spicy ) and some delicious rolls with garlic butter. Ambiance is laid back almost like your at a saloon. Ordered the bourbon shrimp ; loved the bourbon taste ; shrimps were good. The redskin mashed potatoes were nice and hot ; just the way I like my food. Creamy yet nice and thick. My husband ordered the country fried steak; he seemed to really enjoy it. The Mai tai on the $6 special menu was nice and strong. Great bang for your buck. A couple of those and you'd really be good to go. Have a buzz for sure. Would I come back and try some more food? Definitely for sure, read more

I am shocked this place doesn't have 5 stars! I was in town for work, and had a group of 10 come to dinner here. The steak was flavorful and juicy. I was not a big fan of the bread, however I LOVED the beans! Hands down the best beans I have ever had. We ordered the cowboy cookie and bread pudding were outstanding. I am not much if a dessert person, but these were certainly worth the calories. The restaurant is full of history of Tulare with pictures on the wall of the 1800's and 1900's of the city. Really nest to see that history. Our waitress was prompt and had great customer service. read more

Great steak! It's good to be able to bring the kids out here and feel like everyone is content.

I came to Cool Hand Luke's for dinner with a friend group. It was my first visit to CHL's. The restaurant is nice with large tables and a separate bar area. Our server was wonderful and the service was excellent. Our dinners were brought out sparingly based on the type of dinner which I had never experienced. I went with the Steakhouse Cobb Salad which was not the best choice. The steak was a bit chewy, the avocado and tomatoes were chopped much too small and the lettuce wasn't very fresh. read more

We love this restaurant. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. The onion bloom was sooo good and the waiter (Sandra) surprised my husband with a free dessert (bread pudding ) for his birthday and it was to die for. She was friendly and attentive. We were seated and served quickly. I hope our local residents continue supporting this restaurant read more

We wondered why this place was a ghost town on a Saturday evening. Found out why. We were literally the only family in the dining area. We never got waited on. Once we were sat, about 10 minutes passed and no one came to take a drink order or anything. I watched two waitresses walk by and look at us and keep going. We got up and went to Chilitos across the street and enjoyed great food and even better service. This place has been significantly worse Everytime we come and this was the nail in the coffin. We won't be back until they're gone and a new restaurant opens in its place. read more

Went last Tuesday for a Fundraiser and I got the Bbq ribs omg they were so good and a big amount every one at the table got the same thing I only have one complaint the beans are served family style but for 4 of us it's use a little bowl and it was barely enough for 2 people let a lone 4 read more

Service: fantastic Ambiance: good Shrimp scampi : spot on Filet mignon : tender and tasty, perfectly cooked Prime Rib: nope, won't be ordering that again. Tasted good but super chewy, tough for prime rib. Normally I'd give them 4+ stars, but the prime rib was just cr@p. Will definitely try the restaurant again though. read more

The food and service was ok. The carpet was NASTY the menu was sticky with old food on it. DO NOT wear slip on shoes they will stick to the floor. I will NEVER go there again. Imagine how the kitchen looks if the floor looks like its never been cleaned. read more

I've been here several times with my mother and my sister. The food is good, my favs are the happy hour bacon bourbon wrapped shrimp and the steak nachos!!!! You can't go wrong with any of the happy hour prices but it's only n the bar area. Went here on 02/16/2022- it's not that it was busy, but it was the fact that with this pandemic that they might be short staffed, but a lot of tables were dirty upon walking in the bar making that selection limited. It was pretty funny to watch the bartender instantly greet 2 young ladies who walked in and sat down at a table, but when we walked in we had to walk around looking for available seats and we were not greeted by anyone... that bartender must've been single trying to mingle because the grin on his face that was so obvious that he was ready to assist "certain" ladies of his likings. That still didn't take away from our experience as our waitress was great and she did the best that she could with the amount of people that she was serving by herself. She gave my sister huge cups of water as my sister is always asking for refills. All of our appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time. The only con is that the loaded fries and their french fries with their sliders needed a tad bit more salt. I guess with that one really shouldn't complain because if they're oversalted then that's another issue. read more

Overpriced Uninspired Lacking flavor Slow service What a disappointment. The service was slow because of the lack of proper staff, not the servers. The food was lacking proper seasoning and my steak was just disappointing. The food in general was completely bland and boring. We paid way too much for food that was several steps below the standard chain steakhouses. The concept and the decor were actually well executed but the rest of the experience was MEH. read more

Food was decent - service not great. After being seated we waited 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Not professional and very short handed. Our bill was over $400 and I felt ripped off. I had to bus my own table and ask for our birthday desserts twice after waiting 25 minutes. Very very disappointed would not go back. read more

So I was there on a business trip and cool hand. Luke's was right next door so I thought I'd give it a try. Service was very good and the steak was even better. Next chance I'll be back. read more

I come here every once in a while, they are good but need work on their food. They have good portions but I ordered my steak medium rare and it was a little over cooked not too bad but I wasn't going to complain. Service is always great and fast. The inside of the restaurant is ehh being that it's western it could have been cleaner. But I do enjoy coming here once in awhile. read more

I ordered a ribeye to be medium and I was served this. It'd be generous calling it blue rare. I powered through most of the steak before not being able to eat any more. Here it is 6 hours later and my stomach has been sick for the last 3 hours. Moral of the story, should of sent the steak back or offered to show the chef how it's done read more

We came in with a big group, around 30 of us celebrating a special occasion. It's always hit & miss if a restaurant can handle a large group. But they did it here. The food was great. We had appetizers, dinner, desserts and of course the bread and beans.we all left with full bellies and some togo boxes. Tiffany was our waitress and she made the night so easy and enjoyable. She kept everything flowing was and made sure we had everything we needed. We really appreciatehow she helped make the night special and stress free for us. Definitely recommend! read more

For $24 for the Tombstone chicken pasta, you would think they would give you chicken. The chicken was cut so paper-thin and hardly any on the plate. Also, the sauce had no flavor. The place wasn't busy, and we couldn't even get a refill. Had to ask for the check from another waiter because ours never came back until the check arrived. read more

Cool Hand Luke's - Hardly any chicken in the Tombstone Chicken pasta - Steakhouses Near Me - Tulare, California

My first time trying it and it was delicious! But very expensive. The service was normal and the restaurant itself is nice. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a steakhouse, but make sure you're willing to spend $30 plus on dinner plates. I got a chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob ($24.99) which was really good. Along with a side of Bacon, Mac & Cheese and honestly it was one of my favorite Mac and cheese ($5-$6) My friend got a steak, baked potato, and a house salad ($34.99) pink lemonade ($5) read more

Food is delicious with fair prices. Visit every time we're in the area, recommend if you're considering.

my wife and I's go to for date night. Always go when they first open to avoid the large crowd. Service is always great!

All I can say is wow. The food was delicious. My prime rib was perfectly prepared. Loved the service from our waitress Brandy. She provided top notch service evening managing multiples tables at dinner. The price for the prime rib dinner for two is an excellent value. The shrimp appetizer was so tasty. Food was so filling I ended taking a bunch home. The ambiance was so welcoming. Honestly can't say enough about my visit. If you are traveling through Tulare take some time to stop and check out Cool Hand Luke's. Five stars plus read more

Pretty good, wife liked the Filet, better than my thinly cut ribeye. Service was decent, as was the food, and price was reasonable. Steaks were presented as requested. Ambiance is mountain cabin rustic and food was too with beans for starter . read more

Went into the saloon so we could sit immediately since they said there would be a wait for the dining room (even though there seemed to be empty tables, they must have been understaffed). Seemed like they needed more people helping in there too, since it took a while to have our server come over or give us a menu. She was nice enough but did seem like she was busy doing other things. The only free table that didn't need to be bussed was a high top, so we took that. It definitely wouldn't be somewhere I would go to impress anyone, and I'm a little surprised they can charge as much as they do, since the atmosphere is mediocre at best. Maybe the dining room is nicer. The food was decent, but probably on the Chili's/Applebees level, not anything super special, but at least it was filling enough. Although I got the tri tip sandwich, and I feel like the sandwich is twice the size and half the price at Dog House Grill in Fresno. I feel like there are prob better options for BBQ for the price, I'm just not familiar enough with Visalia enough to know the other options here. All in all it was all okay, but not something special in any way, esp for the price. read more

I had a delicious steak baked potato and salad, cooked like I wanted it was there on going special for around $16. Everything else was double the price and more little rich for me So I may not be back but what I had was great read more

Decided to eat in the saloon. Great happy hour Sun-Thur. Cheap beer, and eats. Ordered a 22oz beer for $4.50 Steak and Bake medium rare with everything on the potato 10.99 Pale Ale battered artichoke hearts $4.99 Hope I can give a positive review! Steak was just a tad rare but that's fine. Potato was soft inside, with bacon and sour cream. Appetizer was tasty. Emily my server was almost non existent. Didn't bring any of my food, checked on me once, asked for pepper, never got it. Due to service I'll give 4 stars. Food was really good! read more

I love cool hand Luke's. Have been here about 3 times already. If you want good affordable steakhouse without breaking the bank. This is it. They have a great happy hour menu with cheap drinks and apps. I am a sucker for a happy hour menu. The bread here is sooo good! They keep them coming if you ask for it. Baked beans is pretty good too! And their baked potatoes all come with that special that comes with a small sirloin. Fills me up. Not to mention their kids menu! The ribs is soo good I thought about ordering a kids meal myself next time. The ambience is good not too loud and I always sat in the bar section too. The service has always been good all the waiters have been nice and on top of it. I will always come back. read more

Very disappointed with meal . We hadn't been here in a long time due to inferior food, thought we'd give it another try. Service was so-so. Every time waitress left us, we were wondering what country she had to go to to get tea, steak sauce, etc. We ordered combo of steak and fried shrimp.. Pinto beans ( rather flavorless), rolls which were ok, a small baked potato, a small piece of meat (again flavorless) and 4 fried shrimp. I don't know if Denny's has a steak meal, but if it does, this is what I imagine it looks like. Between our 2 meals, iced tea and tip, it came to nearly 100.00 dollars. Never again. Try Westwoods in Fresno, Cattlemen's in Selma, Tahoe Joes in Visalia. Better quality food for better prices. read more

Not impressed. I ordered the twin filet mignons with green beans, and they were okay. My side dish came with some cardboard which the only thing they did was tell the manager who apologized. This place makes me reminisce and yearn for the Strip steak in Las Vegas that served the best ever filet mignon! So buttery, so tender... I don't understand how places like this don't evolve with the times. Try other people's food so you can maybe improve on your own? read more
