About this restaurant

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.

    Long time Jocko's diner coming for over 35 years. The service we received this time was as good as the ribs and steaks we had for dinner!! As it was Rodeo weekend and packed, I was amazed at how hostesses Lina and Janiyah treated us as if we were the only people they were checking in and seating! To have a fantastic attitude and energy amazed me with all of the commotion going on. Our server, Jake, also gave us all of the time we needed and was there for every question we had and left us wanting for nothing. I usually just review how good our food was, but at Jocko's I'm never disappointed. Too often I take the servers for granted, but when one like Jake comes along, it is servers like him that keep me wanting to return!!!

    Huge portions and great service. I don't really like the cold so you're like me, bring a heavy jacket. I was shivering the entire time.

    Waiting 45 minutes for a table with a reservation for 2 just doesn’t cut it. You’re slipping Jockos.

    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.
