Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Hunter Steakhouse - Oceanside offers a charming, old-school vibe with attentive service and delicious steaks that "rival upscale places." The table-side salad bar is a highlight, and prices are "very reasonable." While some mention dated decor, the friendly staff and satisfying meals make it a favorite local spot.

    We had three top sirloins requested at the same cooking preference yet each steak was cooked completely different. Server later confirmed that they had quality issues -all regarding cooking doneness. Maybe they were under staffed, however you would expect cooking preferences should be well executed at a steakhouse. This did not happen only at our table, but at the tables around ours as well. Service was also poor- had to request for refills on drinks multiple times.

    With restaurant prices at an all-time high today, we expected our meals to be much more expensive. Their prices are very fair and the food was wonderful. Haley gave us great service and the prime rib, baby back ribs, and au gratin potatoes were perfect. The vegetables were al dente; usually places are serving them too mushy. We will be back for happy hour and/or their four course dinners on Monday through Wednesday.

    My mom, aunt, grandma, and I dined for lunch today. We thought the serious was great. The food was good, but the steak could have been cut fat a little better, and the chicken was a little too spicy.
