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.

    Delish and delightful. Food was great. Hubby’s usual 16-oz New York rare was perfect. My calamari steak was soooo good.

    Rustic setting that shows its age. Food was incredible and well portioned for the price. We went to celebrate our 31st anniversary and it wasn't even acknowledged. Nice to have a wonderful steak come WITH sides and accompaniments.

    Best beef I ever had and having the sides (and dessert) included made ordering super easy. Friendly staff and great waitress.

    We are local . Been going for over 50years. They have the best filet mignon I have ever had anywhere at any price. I waitress Darlene has worked there for 25 years. She is outstanding and a delight. It was our 54 wedding anniversary. Great meal. Thank you Jocko’s!

    We go to Jocko's when passing thru which is about two times a year!! We love it so much that we get our own entree each and then an order of full back ribs and an order of the pair or pork chops to bring home!! Prices have crept up over the years but then again, what hasn't?

    Awesome Spencer steak as always. Change in wait staff, as they had a much younger staff than in the past but Wow! Excellent customer service. Pricey but well worth the special treat

    we had a party of four on Saturday at 6:30 PM. Our server was Jake. He was very energetic, good sarcasm and helpful. The places dingy and needs an update. I ordered the 20 ounce ribeye and I ordered it medium rare and received a medium cooked steak initially I try to enjoy a few bites but then I just couldn’t do it because that is not how I like my steak Jake offered to have it re-cooked again to my liking. I appreciated that and it took an additional 15 to 20 minutes but already we have been waiting for over an hour for all of our meals. I asked if we can have the ““ garlic bread ahead of time and he said that everything comes out at once with the meal. What we did receive at the beginning was pickles and then afterwards we waited a little bit and received our salads. It was a very generic salad, but the sauce was decent. I ordered blue cheese dressing. The beans were tasty. The garlic bread did not look like a typical garlic bread. It looked like a regular wonderbread sandwich slice bread with no garlic. and you get a selection of ice cream which I selected the rainbow sherbet overall, I feel like it is a mediocre steakhouse. I understand that they are famous for their steak seasonings. so I wanted to purchase two and I was directed to go to the back near the kitchen. I thought that there may be a little storefront or something, but I was literally in their kitchen and a waitress just rang me up for two bottles of seasonings the back of the kitchen looked very messy and dirty. I don’t think I really wanted to see that. It was a one and done experience for me.
