   The food wasn’t as good as my previous coming here a few times in the past. Still good overall

   After 15 years it is still the best pork chops I’ve ever had. I traveled 2 hours to get there 15 years ago. This time we stayed in Solvang from San Diego and had to go again. We made reservations since the place is always packed! It was a sheer delight to eat, perfect service and an amazing value.

   Jocko's is a lot of fun and the steaks are great! Prices are up some (as everywhere) Unfortunately, they cut back on their amazing appetizer tray some time back which was IMO a highlight of the place (along with great drinks) ... I get that it wasn't fun to have to throw out uneaten appetizers but it would have been better to sell these for, say, $5 or $8. I would say the food is not quite where it was pre-Covid, hence the **** and not *****

   Not sure if it was an off night… had a reservation for 6 pm. Showed up right before and wasn’t seated until almost 6:30. A medium rare was well done while the other was still raw inside. A steak ordered medium was rare. Very charcoal BBQ flavor that overpowered the steak. Server was kind and very apologetic, 3 out of the 4 steaks ordered were not cooked properly. It was packed crowded and noisy. For the price, I would recommend another steak house.

   We loved it even more than our last visit. It’s no wonder this place is a legend.

   I just wish there was a way to quiet some of the loud people in the restaurant. We had a gentleman that was very loud next to us and whom had been drinking clearly it was distracting unfortunately.

   It was a little cold inside and the food price doesn’t match the ambiance but man was that a delicious steak. I’m from northern CA and theirs was recommended by a friend from southern CA and if I lived close, I would go again for sure. Faith was an excellent waitress.

   …liked menu choices, dinners were all inclusive including dessert, steaks were outstanding—quality beef cooked to perfection over an open oak wood fire, serving staff was friendly & helpful—all this at very affordable prices. We were newbies and plan on being regulars!

    Made a reservation for Tuesday and they were packed when I got there. So packed that I saw the table they were probably going to give me just sit there waiting to be bused for 15mins or so. Saw the waitstaff look at the table but keep walking around it. Eventually, I just told them to seat me in the breezeway and the service there was pretty awful. I see why it takes so long to get things, it's extremely inefficiently run back there. Also, keep an eye on the cost of things on the menu. Some things don't make sense and I wasn't given a few items that were listed as part of my dinner but I was kind of over it and ready to just leave.
