Bob’s Steak & Chop House Carlsbad

Texas steakhouse traditions at the historic Omni La Costa Resort

Meet the Founder and Chef

Bob Sambol founded the original Bob’s Steak & Chop House in Dallas in 1993. He built the restaurant’s reputation around prime steaks, generous portions, attentive service, and a welcoming approach to traditional steakhouse dining.

The Carlsbad restaurant is led by Executive Chef Justin Huntington. Huntington began cooking professionally at 14 and later worked in breweries, hotels, independent restaurants, and resort kitchens. His experience includes positions at Estancia La Jolla, Omni San Diego, and Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. Bob’s Carlsbad culinary team

Bringing the Tradition to La Costa

Located inside Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, Bob’s combines the identity of a classic American steakhouse with the history and atmosphere of one of Carlsbad’s best-known resorts.

The dining room includes design references to famous guests and personalities associated with La Costa’s past.

The Signature Experience

Prime steaks, chops, seafood, substantial side dishes, carefully selected wines, and Bob’s recognizable glazed carrot define the experience.

The restaurant’s service style is polished and traditional, making it especially well suited to celebrations, business dinners, anniversaries, and special occasions.

Why It Matters

Bob’s connects a nationally established steakhouse tradition with Carlsbad’s resort heritage. Chef Huntington’s local culinary experience helps the Carlsbad location retain its own identity within the larger Bob’s and Omni families.
