We have never had an issue with our food until Wednesdays dinner order. We order 2 med rare par cuts. However once settled at home and eating my
Partner discovered mold spores on the bread after eating half way through at a weird taste. We were grossed out and it ruined our meal. After discussing with fellow coworkers they said we should have called to complain or take the food back but with the time it was closed. Please check your bread in the no light areas.

I haven’t been to the Tee Off for years. We were visiting for the holidays and trying to hit as many of our go-to’s as possible. I called to make a reservation and left a message- they promptly returned my call and were able to get our table reserved for 7. It was busy, being a holiday.
They seated us very quick, and we even ran into a few friends! It was just how I remembered it. Our server, Amelia was fantastic- she made great suggestions for our party and was very attentive. Thank you Amelia!
Now for the food… I had the Birdie Cut prime rib which was cooked to perfection. Other members had the Bacon Bleu Burger, Fried Chicken, Pork Chop, The Eagle Cut and the par cut. All amazing! Unfortunately, I had forgotten my phone at home and didn’t get the usual pictures. Oh, and they have great cocktails and wine list. What are you waiting for?

I have had a tradition of coming to the Tee Off for my Birthday celebration. It’s been a while so I checked reviews in Santa Barbara for best Prime Rib and found a few with good ratings. Since they were all similar I went with what I knew and made a reservation at the Tee Off. It couldn’t have been better. We had a two top reserved and had prompt drink service. Our waiter asked if we needed more time to look a the menu to which we replied we came for the Prime Rib and ordered right away. Drinks and salads came right away and the dinner followed right on time when we finished our first course.
The Prime Rib was perfect. Cooked perfectly, medium rare. tender, juicy, and flavorful. The creamed horseradish was perfect too. The waiter checked back with us several times and was friendly, efficient, and professional. It was so nice to see that some things never change.

What a great find and to our surprise it happened to be all you can eat prime bbq ribs night. The service was excellent from bartender, waitress & other staff. The crudite, hot bread, to start with was a nice add on. The portions were large and everything was delicious.

This little hole in the wall has one of the best prime ribs! I have eaten plenty over the years and this one was delicious. When you go in, it’s very dim. I would highly recommend to make a reservation. We sat at our table and everyone is so nice. This is a local hangout. They deliver bread to your table however I would recommend not to fill up on it. We ordered the 10oz prime rib but they give you a generous portion. You get a soup or salad and one side but you do get sauteed veggies.. Oh, I forgot to mention they do give you a bowl of veggies and ranch dip. We didn’t touch it and I knew if we filled up with the veggies and bread that we wouldn’t be able to finish. We both got the loaded bake potato with our prime rib. Everything was so good and the vibe there is very casual. The only thing, I didn’t like was the 3 gnats that wouldn’t go away but overall I highly recommend.

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.

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.

A locals favorite! If you’re after prime rib, you can’t go wrong. The atmosphere reminds me of a classic Chicago bar and restaurant. Generous drinks and food serving sizes.

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.

My husband and I came here for a double date some years back. Today we were visiting those same friends and my husband said, “remember that prime rib place?” And I said “yeah it was at a golf course?” My buddy said “no no it’s golf THEMED”. Anyways, he reminded us it’s called the Tee Off. My husband and I made it here just in time before the kitchen closed. We’re on a road trip, and have been driving all day. Like we remember, the prime rib was fantastic. I really want to bring my parents here someday. My Dad is a golfer who loves steak. Perfect!
