Tee-Off Restaurant and Lounge 3627 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105

"This is a iconic little steakhouse tucked in the corner of a strip mall. They have a full bar and offer steak and seafood. When we first walked in, it was quite loud and the bar was packed. They bring a crudite' dish to your table. The ranch dressing they served with it was bland. The service was mediocre, the waitress walking by our table several times not even acknowledging us. I had the king crab legs and they were quite good. The restaurant quickly filled up and the noise level became quite high. The bathroom situation could be a lot better as there is only one small bathroom for the men and one for the women. The wine selection is decent with a good price point. I believe they're well known for their prime rib."

"Great local establishment since the 1950's. Had an amazing prime rib dinner that was to perfection."

"This place has a neighborhood hole in the wall feel with a great atmosphere. The service was great and inviting. The prime rib melts in your mouth and the shrimp scampi was excellent. We also tried a few of their martinis. There were are well made and went down easy. We are visiting from out of town but we will return when we come back to Santa Barbara."

"This is a small steak house/ bar. They serve excellent steaks and prime rib, come hungry. They open at 5:00 pm for dinner. Bar is open earlier if you want to have a drink before dinning. I ordered their Par cut of prime rib, it is their smallest cut and it’s still way big. It was excellent, sides of potatoes and vegetables were average. Dinner salad was great. The Warden ordered fried chicken, it was juicy and succulent, didn’t care for batter/seasoning on skin. For dessert we split a mud pie, it was huge and delicious. We couldn’t finish it."

"I am stuck between 3 and 4 stars. The food was good, but the experience was almost a disaster. We were happy with 75% of our plates. BUT one of the steaks was so fatty we couldn't even stomach it, "big bertha". It was hard to chew without gagging. There was so much fat in every single bite, it was hard to swallow. We mentioned it to the waitress, and she basically said that sometimes it happens. For the price of that steak we would hope for a better one or a discount, or something. Lastly, we also saw a tiny cockroach crawling on the table. But, we all know cockroaches are even in the fanciest places. So we didn't want to make a big deal of that. Like some mentioned in another post, watch out for the tall waitress."
