Yes, there really is a Chuck, and his name is Charles Chuck Rolles. Chuck graduated from the Cornell Hotel and Restaurant School in 1956, and then moved to Hawaii, and in 1959, opened the first of a number of restaurants that bear his name in Waikiki. After opening his second steak house in Waikiki, he was the first to bring the steak house and salad bar concept to the Continental United States. Ken Williams was the first of Chuck’s partners to bring the concept to the East Coast. Ken opened the first Chuck’s Steak House in the East with its salad bar operation over 35 years ago, in West Haven, Connecticut. It was then that Chuck and his partners opened the first of a number of Chuck’s Steak Houses that stretch from California to the E
Longtime outpost of a local chain for choice steaks & seafood dishes served in a relaxed locale.

Now for the food: the salad bar was much to be desired. Half of the options were almost empty and the selection was not great. The French onion soup was salty but descent flavor. My wife ordered the Tuna which was awful! It was chewy and tasted pre-frozen. She sent it back and got the Teriyaki Chicken. That was overcooked and dry.
First and last time here. There are so many better options.
My expectations were high, I ordered a house margarita as I perused the menu momentarily knowing exactly what I would order anyway. The margarita was absolutely fantastic. A good amount of tequila, maybe a bit much for my taste but I never complain about a splash more booze lol. The ambiance was very relaxed with low lighting & a lot of wood trim. It’s really a beautiful restaurant. My bartender happened to be getting ready to leave for the night so honestly, the service wasn’t exceptional. The other bartender didn’t seem very happy to take on my order either. They’re lucky I worked in food service so I still tipped well. My Irish nachos arrived pretty quickly though. What a sight! I noticed first the thick cut kettle cooked potato chips. Some the length of a dollar bill, smothered in all the right nacho fixings. Cherry peppers, bacon, red onions, tomato & served with a sour cream side. They don’t overpile the toppings which allows the chips to maintain a crunchy platform to retain the toppings as they’re meant to be piled. I was really impressed with this dish, I’m sure it shows in this post. I was dining alone & I noticed the other diners food looked excellent & they seemed to thoroughly enjoy their food as well. Next time I’ll get a table with a friend & I’m sure the service will be top notch. I don’t mean to trash talk the service I got, I think I just happened to sit at the wrong end of the bar at the wrong time
My first time dining at Chuck’s Steak House and I must say I’m very impressed.
The occasion was a belated Christmas family get together because I missed it due to a case of Covid in late December-early January.
Reservations were made about six weeks prior and a good thing at that! This place was MOBBED at 5:00 PM on this Early March Saturday.
Service was exemplary from start to finish despite being so crazy busy.
The steaks we ordered were all very tender, and cooked exactly as ordered.
My prime rib was extremely flavorful and tender though a bit fatty, even as prime rib usually is.
The all you could eat salad bar was an up-charge, but well worth it. Everything was fresh, and crisp, with macaroni salads available.
Cocktails were well poured, and desserts were fresh and portioned nicely.
Chuck’s will be our go to in town now that Dakota Steak House is no longer.
Value for the dollar? Pricey.
I guess I’m old school. I don’t want to be nickel-and-dimed for add-ons that used to be, and should be, included. I want the price to be set at the amount it should be for a steak that includes the salad bar.
The details:
There were a variety of steaks on the menu, from a small bistro-style steak for about $27 to top sirloins, NY strip, and a ribeye for about $50. They also had a few sizes of prime rib available for $40-$50. The steaks were fine.
They have a great salad bar that is unfortunately NOT included with your steak. The salad bar is available as an add-on for $8 with a steak/entrée, or available as a meal for $15-$20.
We had reservations on a Saturday evening, and we dined as a party of 6. 2 of us chose to pay the add-on salad bar fee, 4 did not pay the salad bar fee and did not have salad with their steaks. We did order 3 bowls of French Onion soup, as well.
Food for thought. Overall, Chuck’s Steakhouse, Rocky Hill, was fine, but the value for the dollar was too pricey for what it is. For that reason, I wouldn’t choose to go back for the steak.
On a side note, I had been reading the Chuck’s Steakhouse billboards, going to and from work on I-84 that say, “GOT SALAD BAR? WE DO!” I love a ribeye and I miss salad bars so I had been looking forward to dinner at Chuck’s for some time!
It’s sad, but my lasting impression and thoughts have been “I can’t believe the salad bar wasn’t included.”
