What people say about Holdren's Steaks & Seafood
Customers often compliment the mesquite-grilled steak, bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp, large portions, and the dimly lit saloon dining area. The beet salad, seafood, filet mignon, rib eye, and surf and turf combos are popular items, as well as the attentiveness of the employees. This isn’t always the case, as a few customers have found that their service becomes somewhat distracted with the restaurant being busy, and one or two steaks are decent and not spectacular.
About Holdren's Steaks & Seafood
Holdren’s is a State Street steakhouse built around corn-fed Midwest beef, mesquite grilling, seafood, chops, and substantial appetizers. The brown leather booths, brick walls, dark wood, and outside patio contribute to creating a classic dinner house feel rather than a minimalist modern ambiance.
The menu goes beyond steak, which offers such options as sea bass, ahi, sand dabs, halibut, salmon, cioppino, ribs, chicken, prawns, salads, and appetizers. This way, it becomes easier for friends to enjoy meals together without necessarily ordering beef.
Currently, an online reservation system is available. In addition, reservation is beneficial in case one is interested in visiting the steakhouse during peak times. A Santa Barbara steakhouse featuring a traditional surf-and-turf option is highly compatible with this place.
