Birthday dinner was so much fun! And the Tuesday night special was total perfection! Our server Torry was so sweet and so helpful. My daughter ordered the ribs and wow the bones fell right off and the sauce was sticky and delicious. We all were so jealous until we tried our steaks and all closed our eyes is yumminess! Of course the table side salad and house dressing and bread is to die for! Must I also mention the small signs of remodeling and updating- I'm cheering this steakhouse on! Please just keep getting better and I'm here to cheer you on! Missed the birthday email but still came to support read more

Food and service has always been good. Lately the breakfast muffins seem to be " downsized "... what is that about? Also fruit that usually comes with was omitted... a couple of times. Once the muffins also didn't come. Changes in decor, upstairs looks better, main level -- still can't stand the ultra high dividers. read more

The person that was serving our table was nice and professional but he had no control over what was happening behind the scenes. The food here is terrible. The steaks overdone, mealy and cold. Could not bring ourselves to eat them. we took them home for the dogs. Same with the prime rib. There is no way this was cooked that day. Cold And tough. Mashed potatoes were undercooked chopped up baked potatoes. 1-2 inch cubes. The vegetables so raw they couldn't be pierced with a fork. They seemed to come from a bag. Everything seems to come from a bag. The salad was good I just wish there had been decent bread available. The bread was day old hockey puck hard. I ordered the carrot cake hoping to end on a good note. The restaurant claims it is made daily, in house. It came to the table with runny icing because it had been microwaved. Server told us it comes from a bakery once a week at most. $300+ meal that teenage boys wouldn't touch. Keep in mind this is no exaggeration. Believe the other negative review. I don't know where the positive reviews are coming from. And don't believe the promises seen on the Hunter website. That award winning prime rib must have been awarded decades ago read more

Family Birthday Dinner for our Mother June 17. Family of 15. Some Food was over cooked, cold and unseasoned. Lily was pleasent , however she should have showed us the special menu instead of us ordering starters and then the specials. Steak was over priced to be tough and unseasoned. Mother didn't want to send it back because she didn't want any issues. Everyone took a Togo box home and it was not because they had enough. To be a steakhouse who use to be top notch as I was growing up here, time has took its toll. I would not recommend and will not visit again. Mother wanted a good steak. SMH.....terrible read more

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received at Hunter Steakhouse. What should have been a pleasant dining experience turned into frustration, poor service, and ultimately caused us to walk out. From the beginning, the experience was poorly handled. I asked for fresh coffee because the coffee I was originally served was cold. Not only was the issue never corrected promptly, but I was completely forgotten about again while waiting for a new cup. Our order had already been taken, yet after 35 minutes we still had not received a salad, fresh coffee, or even a simple update from our server. To make matters worse, I was moved downstairs again to another small table directly beside the service station, which made the experience feel even more uncomfortable and unwelcoming. After being moved, I was then asked if I had brought my silverware with me. At that point, after already being ignored and waiting excessively, that comment was the last straw. I spoke with the manager on duty and was told the server was new and management was "trying to push him." While I understand new employees need training, placing an inexperienced server on a busy Saturday night without proper support is poor management. Instead of helping the server succeed, it pushed customers away. What was most shocking was that after all of this, I was actually asked why I was leaving. Seriously? After cold coffee, forgotten service, a 35-minute wait with no food, being moved to an undesirable table by the service station, and being asked about my silverware, the reason should have been obvious. Customers should not be made to feel ignored, inconvenienced, or like an afterthought. This experience was unacceptable, and I hope management takes this complaint seriously and reevaluates both customer service standards and how staff are supported during busy hours. read more

We went here on a Tuesday evening for dinner and were surprised at how busy they were. While we had a reservation and didn't really need it the restaurant filled up nicely and the bar only had one or two seats available at 6:45 PM. We've been numerous times over the years too the Hunter's steakhouse, but it has been at least 10 years since the last visit. It basically looked the same as 10 years ago. We could see that they've updated some of the property, but not much. Pleasantly we found the service was attentive, quickly getting our drink orders and then our food order. The delivery of the drinks took a little time, but we were in no rush. The salad made at your table is still a pleasant treat as I am unaware of any other North County restaurant doing likewise. Additionally they don't skimp on all the add ons to the salad. We ordered their largest bone in prime rib. It came with the salad made at your table, choice of potato, a vegetable along with the bone in prime rib. We shared this dinner and ordered a second table side salad side. This was plenty of food for the two of us. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, delivered at good temperature and tasted excellent. While we certainly wouldn't go back for the ambience, we would go back to enjoy reasonable prices, along with the delicious food. read more

I drive by their big sign every time I get off the freeway, but normally I'm not hungry. Tonight, traffic was so bad coming down that I was very hungry. To celebrate finding a new place to live, decided to pop in seeing as I probably wouldn't be coming by any other time. It's old school steakhouse at its best. Lots of couples, families, friends celebrating birthdays or just enjoying a quality meal together. What I loved was the table side salad bar which had a lot of variety, and the man unique potato side offerings. My prime rib was juicy and yummy. I splurged and am driving the rest of my trip happy. Now, if only my bill was here...:) read more

Worst service, adding items to our bill that we didn't have, forgot a salad and soup. Very, very, very expensive and ran out of 3 sauces that could've been made by the salad person. Don't waste your money. read more

Stopped here randomly on a Tuesday night around 7:30 place was pretty empty. Sat downstairs at the bar and place has an old time steakhouse vibe from the 80s to it. Pretty standard wine selection. I went with the prime rib. Was unaware about the table side salad which is a nice touch. Prime rib is seasoned well and not too dry. Overall solid spot and I'll Come back here read more

My wife wanted to celebrate at the steak house near house and she likes to call it an old school steak house. We first arrived and checked in and was greeted by the hostess and she indicated someone is celebrating something special! We were taken to our seat and the decor reminded us of a steak house out of a movie. I had a the porter house dinner with a Cesar salad, and my wife And the petite prime rib. The meal was overall good, I asked for medium rare but it did come out a little medium. Overall the experience was good and the waitress was pretty attentive, I always have my water filed. They provided a free desert for my birthday as well. They showed they cared and the food overall was good I would recommend the prime rib as it tasted a little better. read more

I had dinner there last Saturday, FIRST, my first impression of the restaurant was that it was "DATED", if any place needed a renovation is this place!!! Second, the way they served the salad was really cool and give you an opportunity to build your salad as you like it. Third, when our main course came, Prime Rib and Ribeye Steak both where COLD, the prime rib look like it was from the day before, and the Rib Eye Steak was so thin it was over cooked when it was suppose to be Med Rare. They did being new steak and Prime rib, even though it wasn't cold this time it had NO FLAVOR AT ALL!! Like I said the Salad presentation was good and that's where it stops, I would never go back!!! TEXAS ROAD HOUSE has better Steaks and Prime Rib at half the price!!! read more

Great portion of food for the price, I enjoyed the Sampler, Caesar salad and Prime Rib. We had a very nice vibe with the servers, our server took great care of us. I will come back to drink up! read more

My coworkers and I joined together to eat at this well-known (at least to the locals) eatery. I kept hearing about the ghosts and other people's experiences so, I finally gave in and said ok (but just in case-had already planned on saging myself before stepping back into my house). We arrived at around 445 PM for dinner. We headed down to the basement, because my coworker said that it was a better vibe down there. I could "feel" the "oldness" of the building as soon as we walked in, but the vibe was overall cozy and nice. As we waited for our other co-worker to join us, I ordered an espresso martini (they use real expresso in it)-it was delicious! Once our other co-worker showed up, we ordered dinner-finally! I ordered the prime rib with baked potato and was recommended to try the whiskey peppercorn sauce. All in all, prime rib was fabulous, the whiskey peppercorn sauce was unique and so good!.....I could have gone without the overdone baked potato and underdone veggies, but that prime rib definitely made up for it! Overall, it really was a nice time and the ambiance was relaxing....a lot of locals do frequent there! I'll have to try the food again to make up my mind overall. Oh yeah, don't forget to ask for the binder! read more

They've been around a long time so they must be doing something right. Nothing fancy here, just some good appetizers, steaks and sides and that's all you really need. We will definitely come back. read more

Good food, good drinks, good service. Unpretentious and welcoming, charming on many levels, literally many levels...I think I counted four.

We have been going here for years for celebrating but this last time for a birthday this young waitress Tory brings us a chinchy piece of cake and we have always been given a real nice piece to feel real special so we will be think twice now or ask for our older waitresses with some since about them. Birthdays are to enjoy their Prime rib is delicious though read more

Food was a little oversalted. Service was not bad. They keep coming back to check if we were ok. Ambience reminded me of mid 80s family restaurant. It was a little dark in the restaurant for me For the food, we had crabstuffed mushrooms. The crab mixture in the mushrooms were a little salty. The salad was the best. Vegetables in the salad were fresh. They did table side service where they asked what you wanted and built your salad with what you liked. I ordered a medium fillet mignon with fromage mushrooms. The mushrooms were salty. I removed them and steak underneath was still salty. Vegetables were good in my opinion but bland in my husband's opinion. My steak was a little tough still. My eyes aren't great can't tell the colour if the steak due to simlighting. Overall, 3 stars for me. read more

The only good thing here is the ambiance, the clam chowder should be called clam soup, the salad was ok, but the worst it yet to come. My wife and I had never been here and we really wanted prime rib. It was tasteless, the mashed potatoes tasted like I was at the hospital and the blanched veggies, WTH WAS THAT! First and last and for the price I can make a way better meal at home!! Thanks again for the big, big disappointment. Our experience was the talk all the way home.. read more

I had a filet mignon which tasted amazing, the mash was okay I've definitely had better, ambiance was nice the lighting is dim, pretty chill if you ask me, I prefer it that way. Service was fast and waiter was attentive. read more

We had a party of 10 for a late Christmas celebration here, upstairs and we had the room to ourselves. It was very nice . We really enjoyed the experience. Our server was very sweet and attentive. We ordered just about every appetizer on the menu. They were all pretty good . The calamari was the only flawed dish . The chef accidentally over salted the appetizer. We each ordered either prime rib or a delicious steak. I had a perfectly cooked medium rare prime rib with vegetables and au gratin potatoes. It was delicious. For dessert we shared the mud pie and raspberry cheesecake. I highly recommend dining here. read more

Food: excellent. I was craving prime rib and this place did the job. I couldn't believe what I paid for prime rib here! Totally worth it. Service: I don't see this type of service anymore. I wish I got the young ladies' name. She was so patient, professional, and efficient. I watched as she went from table to table and repeated all the ingredients for the salad bar- she customized each customers table side salad . Ambiance: the place reminds me of an old forest cabin. It could definitely get a remodel and updates of some of the tables and chairs. Overall I am there for the prime rib and service so I would go there again. Oh and the kids prime rib meal was only slightly smaller than the adult meal for $12!??? Get out! read more

What an amazing experience, my family experienced Hunter steakhouse in Oceanside. We felt very special by the service and hospitality we received from all of your staff. From the reservations call, accommodations that were made possible from Laura to Zach- who made sure our large party could be seated in such a short time, to the attention our server Roxy gave throughout our visit. To top it off, the food was magnificent!!! We live in L.A. but will always come to visit when we're craving high quality steaks and service. I'd give you 10 stars if possible. Thank you, Hunter Steakhouse! You got yourselves repeat customers! read more
