- BBrianCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoMom and I really enjoyed our visit to Jocko’s. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with friendly faces. The front door host guided us to our table, mom uses a walker. Our server Jake was very affable and helpful as we ordered our food. The grilled artichoke, salad, filet mignon with all house made dressings and sauces were fantastic. We also appreciated the home style beans,bread and ice cream dessert with chocolate syrup. We really liked the service. Special thank you to Manager Andrew who took good care of us above and beyond like a God-Father. Thanks everybody for a wonderful dining experience. We highly recommend Jocko’s!More infoJocko's SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Nipomo•4.6

- LLisaCalifornia Central Coast •52 reviews5.0Dined on 13 Oct 2024The Caesar Salad was fresh and the dressing was a tasty surprise. The Veal Milanese breading was crispy and paired nicely with the buttery, cheesy fettuccine. My friends both enjoyed their Spinach Ravioli and Pappardelle Vodka. Topped it off with us all sharing the Warm Lava Cake...delish!More infoChase RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Barbara•3.4
