About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

Jocko’s Steakhouse is family owned and a longtime Central Coast favorite. Our family’s
hospitality roots date back to 1925, or so the story goes. Jocko’s is legendary for hand cut aged
steaks grilled over an open fire of red oak coals. A style of cooking native to the area that dates
to the Spanish Rancheros. We offer an extensive dinner menu serving a variety of steak cuts,
ribs, pork chops, chicken, seafood, steak burgers, specialty sandwiches and more. Jocko’s offers an extensive wine list, a broad assortment of cocktails and both draft and bottled beers. The specific brands and serving costs are available at the restaurant.
To learn more about Jocko’s menus and history visit www.jockossteakhouse.com
or call (805) 929-3686 for reservations.

Fillet was exceptional. King crab legs not so much. I’ve enjoyed them on two separate occasions and there were delightful, but not last night.

Their steaks are excellent, and I would highly recommend the Spencer. They have the formula for the perfect steak down pat. The staff was attentive, especially considering how busy the restaurant was on Mother's Day. It's our favorite spot to visit when we're in town.

We were seated. No one came to our table for 10 minutes. Then we got our water brought in a bottle of wine and the waitress gave us a corkscrew to open it cause she was too busy. The food was not good. The steak was very fatty and gristly.

We have enjoyed the food over the years on other occasions, but this time it was sadly different . The food lacked quality snd proper preparation, the steak was tough and lacked flavor and the calamari steak was tough and lacked flavor. The coating did not stick properly. The salad and the baked potato were really good and both had a lot of flavor

We travel from Southern California each year for our anniversary. We always plan a night at Jockos. Service is always top notch. If you leave hungry that's your fault
