Coming to Shaw's is always such a special treat and the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, or to come just to enjoy the excellent food. The food is consistently good and the service always top notch. If I don't get the 8 ounce Filet Mignon, I get the Tri-tip and Linguica Special. Both are spectacular. They are served with a choice of soup or salad, garlic bread, and a choice of a baked potato, fries, or white rice. Additionally, each table is served crackers, a relish tray, beans, and salsa to share. The Tri-tip and Linguica Special also comes with the most amazing sauce, that pairs beautifully with both the Tri-tip and the linguica. Since being renovated after the fire burned the building, they truly did a fabulous job returning the restaurant to its former glory. It almost looks exactly like the restaurant did before the fire. I was especially happy they brought back the old school belt turning ceiling fans as I had fond memories of them coming to Shaw's as a child. I always thought they were the coolest thing ever. The seats are also much more comfortable than before the fire so that's a nice bonus. Shaw's also has a super cute bar area that is separated from the restaurant if you want to come in just to have a drink. Parking is usually decent between being able to use the Shaw's parking lot and the neighboring lot from The Pantry. Fair warning, you will be leaving here stuffed to the brim and very satisfied!

Our server was Angel, Right away great start off, very energetic, clear understanding and checked on us constantly! Didn't seem bothered when we kept asking for extra stuff ! The food was amazing, the ribs and steak have to be some of the best I have ever tried, it's a lot of food and will definitely take some time to finish, 5 star for sure ! We'll be back !

After hearing some locals talk about this place I knew I had to come check them out. They are cooking up their meats Santa Maria Style here and have an open concept kitchen which was awesome to see walking to our table. This place is the real deal. Such good food! A must if you have not had this place before. Quality food, good prices, can't complain. Stopped by for the tri trip and linguica special and it was so good! Huge portion of food and the sauce that comes with the meat is fantastic! Meats are cooked Santa Maria style so nice smoky taste. I would have to rate my dish a solid 8.5 out of 10. Make sure to call ahead and make reservations to avoid waiting. They have a super cute bar area as well so check that out if your in the mood for cocktails or some beers. Overall super reccomend them, worth every penny. Thanks Shaw for the hospitality and great food, till next time.

Haven't been to Shaw's for a few years but found myself in Santa Maria so decided to stop in for date night. Always a great meal and nice atmosphere. Snacked on the relish tray while waiting for our salads, very fresh and an old school steakhouse staple. My go to is the filet mignon which had a great crust and flavor from the grill. The beans are also fantastic! I could eat 3 tubs of them lol. Always worth a meal here if you are in town! Parking is kind of a nightmare, the lot has a funky design with limited spaces, so do plan ahead for that.

In the area and hubs wanted a steak. Arrived at around 6pm on Saturday, and it was busy. Bunch of kids out for dinner before homecoming. Fortunately, only had to wait for about 20 mins for a table. Waiter was friendly and checked on us often. Hubs ordered the ribeye and was very happy. Meat cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I ordered the pork chops - juicy, tender, and also seasoned well. Hubs noted these were probably the best pork chops he's had.

Food is always great here, everything I have tried has been delicious. Servers were very nice and attentive to us, refilling our drinks and asking if we need anything. There were a lot of people there for a Tuesday so definitely recommend doing reservations to be seated and your whole party does need to be there to be seated.

What a great find! Was spending the night in Santa Maria on the journey from Los Olivos up to Paso. We were in the mood for Santa Maria Tri-tip / steak and tried out Shaw's. It was exactly what I was hoping for and expecting! Delicious steaks, and old school steak house ambiance, and good service. Prices were all reasonable, an this was great. I had the rib eye that was cooked perfect, and my wife had the tri tip that was also delicious. Kids both had a kids meal, that was priced great for the portion that they gave. One had the fish and chips and other one had the ribs. The ribs were a bit hard to eat for an 8 year old, but the flavors were excellent. We paired this with a bottle of Justin Cab that was $38. The starters of the relish plate, crackers, salsa and butter were a bit weird in todays dining, as we were unsure what to do with that stuff. Would have just preferred some fresh baked bread with butter. Anyway, glad to try this place, and hope to return if we are in the area again!

We heard that the Santa Maria tri tip was special so we could not leave town without trying some. My 7 golf buddies and i had just played Avila beach golf course which was absolutely beautiful with a foggy marine layer coming in and out over the golf course all day keeping it a perfect 65 degrees all day. We were staying at the Historic Santa Maria Inn and the Shaw Steakhouse was right across the street so we walked across the street for dinner. We were so happy we chose Shaw's steakhouse. The tri tip was excellent and large portions. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The baked potato was excellent as well. Everything was very flavorful. Make sure you ask for the barbecue sauce as it is very good and compliments the tri tips excellent flavor. I will be back !

This is a great place to have dinner! I Yelped this place and the Yelpers didn't disappoint. This place has great western, historic old charm ambiance with fantastic friendly service and great food with fabulous flavors! I had the ribeye and it was delicious! Perfectly cooked and they use a real wood fire to cook which adds that true Smokey charred flavor! I paired with a baked potato that I even at the skin of because it was so delicious. The baked potato appears to be cooked over the fire as well as it had that flavor profile along with great seasoning! Add bacon to it for additional flavor. This is a must try in Santa Maria! You won't go wrong here and take it from me a steak lover and have eaten some of the best steaks all over Texas, Florida and now California. This is one of the best if not the best I've had in California.
