Yummy food this is our second time going there when my hubby and I take a drive to pismo beach or Morro Bay. The only reason I'm giving a 3 star for Atmosphere because the restrooms are dated they need some TLC please fix them and bring them up to date.
A lot of food! Paul was extremely helpful and we had so much food for a great price. We will definately return in the future and tell our friends. Thanks Paul Mike and Bonnie from PA
I always get the baby back rooms full slab. Excellent, very meaty and tendermy.\n Father-in-law got the cheeseburger. One of the better ones he said he's had
Excellent food and service. Waiter was great and the food was excellent. Steaks wier tender and cooked correctly to order. Salmon was cooked to perfection and juicy with wonderful seasonings.
I haven't been here in over a year. My husband brought me here on the 18th of May, 2025 for my Birthday. I was amazed at how much the food has improved. They must have a new meat distributor or something because the ribs were absolutely to die for! The steak was flavorful and tender. Everything was just delicious!!! Give them another try....I think you will be pleased! Awesome food and service!
We had our work Christmas party there last night and they were super accommodating great to work with the manager Marie was awesome to help us secure the spot with a great choice of set menu to work with. She also pretty much let us have our space and do our games. The service was fabulous from Makayla she did a fantastic job. Thank you so much for making our evening that much more special. Happy Holiday's to you and your crew at Cool Hand Luke's. Thank you on behalf of Kuehl Nicolay Funeral Home, Chapel of the Roses, Los Osos Valley
The moment we walked in, we were greeted with the friendly, smiling, hostess, who sat us right away. Short time later, Server appeared obtained our drink order and returned fairly quickly. I specifically asked for my prime rib to be grilled and blackened. The chef was able to accommodate that request. He even went further and added roasted garlic, and mushrooms. My meat was cooked to perfection. By grilling at the fat had been rendered which melted into the meat and added that much more flavor. You’ve heard the phrase I could cut it with a fork and that would be fitting for this. Before you’re entrée comes they serve up a bowl of their house beans which are really pretty good. Little spicy side enough to hold you over till your food arrives. All in all I can say, Server was very professional and friendly. She checked on us several times to see if we dated anything. I don’t live in this area but the next time I pass through I will definitely visit this Cool Hand Luke’s
I chose the salmon which had a very good sauce with it. Added some fully loaded mash potatoes to it then they throw in a salad, bread and beans. Needless to say there was more food that I could eat. Great problem to have. Bartender was friendly and prompt. A few tvs behind the bar and they have a small patio in the back. Didn't see the restaurant but sounded busy. Overall a decent place for a good hearty meal
Saw online and try it out. Waiter was friendly and knew his products. Alcohol drinks that I tried need it more boost but it taste good. Little burn on medium steak but it was tender and tasty. Rib was tender and sauce is just right amount. Dessert was huge and good to share. I will be coming back
Food was pretty good, everyone liked their dish. It didn’t take too long to come out at all. The chef accidentally cooked one steak wrong and fixed it before it was even brought out, which is much appreciated. Only took a minute for the remake. Can’t complain, mistakes happen! Other that that very small thing Everyone’s steak was made perfectly, salmon was great, just really sweet. The alcoholic drinks were a little too strong for our liking. Made it kinda hard to enjoy. Our server Blake was very nice, we had to give him a $40 tip, it was well deserved. Patient, kind, cracked some jokes with us, checked up on us often. Answered any and all questions for us. Very friendly, a great server this place is lucky to have him.
I was between giving this restaurant 3 stars or 4 stars, but a few things pushed me to 4 stars. First of all, our waitress, Sharon who goes by Shary, was excellent. She had a great smile, was friendly, and attentive. When she brought out our food, she noticed that my friend's tri-tip was not medium rare as he had ordered it, so she got him a replacement which was cooked perfectly. Second plus, most of the food was delicious. We both loved the beans. My friend enjoyed the artichoke Alfredo. His tri-tip was amazing. My ribeye steak, however, was under-seasoned and was medium rather than medium-rare, but I did not complain. The garlic red mashed potatoes could have used more garlic and a little pepper, but they were enjoyable. The premium margarita and the stagecoach margarita were both wonderful. The blue sky breeze drink on their $5 drink menu was bland, but at least the other two were great. We ended up taking home a lot of food. All in all, we are likely to eat there again.
I don't eat here often anymore as most of the vegetarian options have disappeared. The foods that are able to be altered are good. My problem is something in my order is usually forgotten or the alteration to the food to make it more vegetarian friendly are usually ignored or forgotten. Thus I'm picking pork out of my macaroni and cheese or something of the kind. My safest bet is mashed potatoes and vegetables. I don't know if ownership changed or what. But I generally don't recommend eating here unless nothing else sounds good.
Asked for medium rare, got well done and with the wrong sauce. Asked for it to be recooked, came back adequate but not great. Drinks were weak and watered down. Sad to see this place go down hill so much over the years.
Waited 20 minutes to be given a menu after sitting down. Waited another 20 minutes without anyone coming to take my order before giving up and going elsewhere. I'd understand if the place was packed and busy, but it was half empty. Just really poor service overall.
placed an order at 12:17 p.m. Thanksgiving Day for a dinner, and it was confirmed with a scheduled pickup between 5:10-5:20 p.m. At 5:14 p.m., just minutes before pickup, my order was abruptly canceled no explanation other than that they were "unable to fulfill the order." This left my family, especially my kids who were looking forward to this Thanksgiving dinner from here, without a meal and no time to make other arrangements. If they were unable to fulfill the order, a timely notice hours earlier, not 10 minutes before pickup would have been more professional and considerate. I completely understand unexpected issues can happen, but communication is everything especially on a holiday when families are counting on plans they trusted and confirmed. Very disappointing experience
Tried coming back, I love the big portion of the strawberry pizza the food is better there the prices are high there was actually beans and meat in the pot. Although while relaxing after my meal I come to notice the fine art and the splattering of the food shame on you kids more shame for cool hand Luke’s not noticing and wiping down walls sorry you failed restaurant needs much love were locals and hate to here bad reviews in our town .😱☹️
