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.

    Food was mediocre the steaks were bland with little to no seasoning the beans were bland as well. We also got macaroni and cheese and it was terrible. Such a shame we drive a long way for dinner.

    Jocko’s is known for great steak. Had the Spencer 16 oz and it was delicious. Anything after that was meh. Dining area looks like a cafeteria, sides were lackluster and options were basic. Seems like there hasn’t been any improvements to the place ever-in restaurant and menu. Server was sweet. I’d go again for a good steak.

    Delicious as always but we had a waitress who was below our standards. It took at least 40 minutes to order our food and she was not friendly at all. The whole evening went this way, she was not pleasant at all. Food was great though and we still enjoyed ourselves!

    Just a so so experience. Bar service great but just ok for check in and dinner service. We are sad to see relish tray replaced by pickles. Pickles great but miss the relish tray. Lacking wait staff on a busy night but all in all food great.
