Visited March 11 2026. See my receipt as proof as always. I was in Yuba City and finally got to try this place ! I got there alittle after 4pm and enjoyed a relaxing atmosphere ! I ordered the steak bites which came with garlic bread . The meat was tasty and it came out sizzling! Meat was tender and so was the mushrooms. It has a full bar with happy hour and early dinner specials. It's casual inside. Crystal was wonderful! I am always looking for a dog friendly area which it has but it's extremely small with 2 tables on the side of the restaurant. They have happy hour and early bird dinners. Great for groups and plenty of tvs. Good experience and great service! read more

We made reservations for Easter Brunch. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived, the hostess/ waitress was very friendly and attentive from the start. This was our first time for the brunch experience and we enjoyed all the different options they offered. They have all the breakfast items such as egg, potatoes, sausage, bacon, French toast, waffles etc. a carving station that included ham and prime rib , plus an omelette station. Did I mention fruit and dessert! It's a fantastic place to come for your Sunday brunch. You will leave satisfied. read more

Kinda bummed. Came in on a Thursday around 5:30om for the happy hour special drinks (six dollar sippers and appetizers....but the drink specials are over : 0 ) Stayed anyway for the appetizers. Service today was unusually slow.... We ordered our food items (cheese burger sliders, taco truck tacos and loaded fries). Burgers are usually great but today they were kinda burnt. There looked like only one bartender and one expediter. I think the bartender (who was the server too) needed help. Three stars because there wasn't enough help to adequately serve. (Actually glad to see more servers show up to help the bartender : ) This is the bar area and it's a typical bar area - old school with the upholstered booths. Our server was doing her best in spite of the situation: ) read more

First off we had reservations only to be told when we arrived (on time) it would a 15-30 minute wait. After we finally got seated and placed our order it was at least 30 minutes before the food arrived. One of the steaks was so over cooked it looked like shoe leather. Sent it back and this time it came back so rare that it looked like it barely touched the grill. The inside of the steak was completely RAW. By this time the rest of the table had finished their meal so we ended up leaving without the main "guest", (the father of the group) having any dinner. Someone in management came to our table to apologize and gave us a $25 voucher for next time which was a nice gesture to make things better but bottom line, this was Father's Day and the Father ended up without eating. On a positive note, the server was OUTSTANDING and did everything she possibly could to make things better. It wasn't her fault and we did realize it was Father's Day (busy time at a steak house!) but the entire evening was so disappointing. If we were to ever go back it would be at a slower time so maybe the staff could get the order right. It was very commendable of management to come to our table to apologize but an apology doesn't make a horrible experience better on a special night for our Father. kind of put a damper on the rest of the evening. read more

​We visited for the Sunday Brunch Buffet as a family party of six (3 adults, a 16-year-old, and two younger kids). While the staff was friendly enough, the final bill was a massive shock: $264 total for a basic breakfast. ​When you break down the math, it averaged out to $44 per person. Because a 16-year-old counts as an adult on the pricing sheet, we were billed for 4 adults (approx. $35 each) and 2 kids (approx. $15 each), plus two mimosas. On top of that, because we were a headcount of six, the system automatically tacked on an 18% large-party gratuity. ​Paying premium, high-end resort prices would be fine if the food matched the ticket, but it absolutely didn't. The buffet options felt incredibly basic--more like a standard, subpar hotel continental breakfast than a steakhouse brunch. The quality just wasn't there to justify a quarter of a grand for a casual morning family meal. ​If you have a larger family, be aware of the headcount rule and the automatic gratuity before you sit down. For us, the math and the food quality just didn't align, and we won't be back anytime soon. read more

Wonderful food, great staff & service! Ways able to please. Catering & restaurant services are are the best too!

The happy hour menu and the bar is really good. The service is fast and very good. I highly recommend the tacos in the bar great value on the happy hour bar menu. I love the beans they're sort of like the cattlemen's beans I don't like this restaurant as good as cattlemen, but I do like it quite a bit. read more

We always enjoy eating here. The service and food are very good. The atmosphere is nice also. I'm looking forward to our next dinner.

Came for dinner and were seated right away. All the staff were very nice and welcoming. There was a bar area to the side and the hostess led us to the searing area. There was plenty of seating. The decor was a little on the older side. The bench we were seated on was old and dipped down. The food was good and the filet was cooked perfectly and a good size. It was a little disappointing that it only came with one side and no vegetables. I also asked for a side of shrimp and they brought us a whole appetizer which was a lot since I was the only one that eats shrimp. We got the mimosa flights which was a good size to share. read more

Came here with my daughter and her in-laws. I didn't know that this was a chain restaurant as it was my first time. This one is located in Yuba City. Not going to lie about it but the restaurant seemed old and somewhat run down. The server who explained that she was new was nice but when it came to actual service it was decent, I had to ask 4 times for water. The food was just blah for me, I don't know. It jest seemed bland and not worthy of the cost. I can't say that I'll be back. read more

Food was superb. But the speed of the food coming out was astonishing. Our server Summer was amazing! Go get you some Cool Hand Luke's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Very nice comfortable restaurant to have an enjoyable dinner at! 5 of us had dinner here last Wednesday night before a fishing trip. Our server was Miranda and she was super nice and cordial! Never too obtrusive and always there when we needed anything. The food was yummy and lots of it! I love this place! So comfortable and friendly! Plus the food and portions are huge! I'll be back soon!! read more

Wish I had taken more photos of the food but I was so taken aback by my $9 "ice cream sundae".. apparently this is an appropriate amount of ice cream for nearly $10. That's actually insane. What's worse is that we actually spent almost $100 on this order for two entrees and this "sundae". The steak entrees were heavy in oil/butter, as in wet. The mushrooms that came with it were saturated. The cherry on top is that they sell ice cream yet have no spoons to go. Overall I feel pretty ripped off. Maybe the experience would have been better had we eaten there but unfortunately it is the restaurant's responsibility to ensure a pleasant experience both there and for their to go orders. read more

As a always amazing service and food!! We had a lovely Valentine's Day, thank you guys!

Love the food. Super nice staff. Would recommend to any off my friends. Hosts are very inviting waitress super attentive. read more

This place used to be good but it has gone WAY downhill. I went last night and the service was terrible! She didn't bring or offer us waters and even after we asked it took a very long time. We had drinks, an onion petal, and entrees and our dinner took an hour and half because everything took SO long. Thank goodness the entrees we ordered came with salad because I would have been starving if we hadn't had that. When the food came out two of our plates were piping hot meaning they were under the heat lamp a long time. My mashed potatoes had a thick skin on them. My aunt got steak bites but it was at least 2/3 mushrooms 1/3 steak. The server also never apologizednfornanythingntaking a long time or for her forgetting to bring certain things. I would not recommend this place anymore. read more

Cool Hand Luke's - My food sat under a heat lamp for too long. Look at the skin on my mashed potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Yuba City, California

The food was really good, and the portions were nice. They need more wait staff and cleaning crew.

Quite disappointed. Took my family of 3 there this evening. It wasn't too busy, but service was quite slow. The alarming part was the cleanliness. Our booth had food smeared on the seat and lots of food underneath the table. Our beans provided were quite cold. My meal was quite dry. The pricing is far too expensive for what it is. read more

Best service and food was awesome.i will definitely come again. Our waitress was attentive and very polite. Thank you so much.

$27 per plate for brunch , didn't realize it was ONLY buffet style, no menus - gravy for biscuits was packet gravy . Eggs were powder or carton eggs. Nothing truly looked appealing. Should have honestly left but felt bad after getting seated - watched two other couples leave. Everything was very quickly made. Reminded me of a free hotel breakfast. Would not recommend coming for brunch. read more

If I could give them a ZERO I would! I ordered a prime rib and porterhouse steak from there website. I ordered the porterhouse, medium rare, with mushrooms and fried onions. It was THE WORST STEAK FOR $60! I ordered it medium rare and it was well done, tough, bone dry, stringy and full of fat. A porterhouse is supposed to be one the best cuts of steak, with half being a New York Strip and the other Filet Mignon. What a joke! I wouldn't give this steak to my dog. I ordered extra toppings, the onion rings and mushrooms. The onion rings were so greasy and there was 4 of them and the mushrooms were all burnt. All 5 of them. They also got my salad dressing wrong! .....THEN! I called to speak to the manager and was told they would have to call me back after talking with their kitchen manager. I finally got a call and they said that we took too long to come pick it up so the steak sat there and kept cooking, which is why the steak went from medium rare to well done. I was a chef, and NEVER in my life have I heard such a LAME excuse! If they had actual trained "cooks", (definitely no chefs are working there, and if someone claims that they are one, they should've asked for his credentials!) If someone orders a steak medium rare the target pull temp should be between 130 - 135F degree, so the steak needs to be pulled at 120-125F so after it rests it will be up to temp. Apparently, the "cook" doesn't know this, because if the "cook" allowed for resting time, the steak wouldn't have been well done. When we got the steak home after picking it up, it was way over cooked! Not only that, this was a $55 piece of meat! A porterhouse, which is the mother of all steaks was dry, greasy, fatty and had so much spices on it that it made me gag. When I called to tell them I got the run around and then was told since I ordered it online, I actually ordered it through DoorDash. What? Huh?... We came and picked it up. Last time I checked, DoorDash is for ordering something you want delivered?? They claimed that since we ordered our food online, even though we picked it up, that we need to take this matter up with DoorDash. WTH? I would've had them deliver it had I known I was somehow using DoorDash through their website. There is not any mention that if you order something for "pickup" it will then be going through DoorDash and that's who I need to address my complaint to. There is ZERO mention of this on un-Cool Hand Lukes website! After I got the call back and was told all these ridiculous excuses and then I got hung up on. My poor husbands Bday was ruined with all this BS! I've honestly never had a good meal there and don't how they stay in business with their poor quality of service and even worse quality of food. FOODIES BEWARE! DO NOT EAT THERE UNLESS YOU HAVE A BAD COLD AND CAN'T TASTE ANYTHING. WTH is up with this DoorDash BS? Minus ZERO stars on this one! The prices are those of a fine dining restaurant, which is absurd! They probably buy their meat at Walmart. No, actually, I just bought steaks from there and they were WAY BETTER.... DoorDash? Really? WTH? Unfortunately, I'm going to have to call my credit card and cancel the payment because they have no intention at all on making this good. It's sad to think that a restaurant like this one won't eat the $55, give a credit, offer to make another steak, or even apologize! I'm still going to contact DoorDash so I can find someone else that thinks this is the most ridiculous thing they've ever heard! read more

Have been coming here for 2, almost 3 years. Always greeted when we walk in. Good service, attentive. Busy for a reason. Consistent and dependable good food. read more

We love to have brunch here. Our server Lena is always a delight and the food is good.

We call this place Cool Hand Dookies. We made up the nickname years ago, but forgot why... then we had dinner there tonight and realized it pretty quickly. Family of 3, walk in on a Thursday evening at 5:30pm. Not busy, but informed there would be a 10 minute wait... the bar was open seating, but we decided to wait for a booth. Took 15 minutes to seat, walking through the restaurant, there were plenty of open spaces and it wasn't busy whatsoever. Waited at least another 10 for the waitress to finally come take our drink order. The room we sat in looked disgusting, the fabric on the booth was dirty, the pleather looks worn, wallpaper falling off the wall and the light sconce in our booth was loose as it was missing one of its screws that held it in place. Since we could tell they were going to take their sweet time, we put in our food order the same time as we got our drink order. Beans and bread came fast, thankfully because we waited nearly an hour for our entrees. Food was ok, but certainly not worth the wait or the price. Waitress never refilled our drinks, or offered until we were practically done. Most certainly won't be back. Whoever owns this place needs to really needs to invest some time and money into it. read more

Came to the RVHS fundraiser for the football team...and I must say...the food that was catered was bland and over cooked...not sure what they put on the chicken but it was too much...the tri-tip was extremely overcooked, tough, and no flavor what so ever...say your money and eat someplace else... read more

Last minute decision to have dinner at Cool Hand Luke's, went online and joined waitlist. Checked in with hostess and was seated 4 mins later.. Definitely a recommendation to join the waitlist, as we walked by all the peeps still waiting in Lobby , Had some laughs with our waitress, due to having some clam chowder with a fork . Nevertheless the chowder was good even with all the slurps. As always great food Thanx read more
