Restaurant is legit. We were able to go watch them make steaks and see the grill master at work! It’s a site to see. Came here with the family. There is a wait so we decided to have drinks at the bar. Drinks were spot on. We ordered multiple dishes and two kid plates. The ribeye steak is a MUST! The beef ribs are good. The fries are really good! Stole some from the kids plates! 😜 I definitely recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect for a family dinner.

Really! This place is so amazing. The service was so quick and our waitress was awesome. She took care of our every need. But the star of the show was the steak!!! Not the first to say it. Talk about cooked to perfection…. Bravo Mr. Steak man… Bravo!!!! Worth the time and money. Will be back again soon.
What can I say, other than Jocko's is a Central Coast icon for the very best open pit BBQ using only Coastal Red Oak wood. You will leave fully satisfied and carrying out plenty of leftover food for lunch the next day. Everyone has raised prices due to the terrible inflation. But, Jocko's has kept the increase prices to a minimum. I like my steaks extremely rare, so please don't worry, you can have your steak cooked however you want.
WOW just wow. The taste, quality, and portions at Jocko’s are all top tier. Bring your appetite. The steaks are fantastic and plentiful. A local staple that attracts patrons from all over. The use red oak coals which give the food a unique and delicious taste. Get the Spencer Cut!
Loved Jocko's! The steak and ribs were great! We went with a group and everyone was happy. My husband and I split the 10 oz. Filet mignon. It was tender and delicious, cooked perfectly. We had salad and a baked potato. Yum! You can get a $12 plate when you split, duplicating the sides. Our friends had the 20 oz. Ribeye and ate every bite, our other friends got the 1/2 pork and beef ribs and took some home. It even came with icecream dessert.
I FINALLY made it there. Been knowin' 'bout this spot for over 8yrs, at least! I rode my motorcycle there. Took one good rest break each way. WELL WORTH the trip(3hrs/188mi). The 16oz. Spencer steak(Medium) was "perfection". The baked potato was delish. The bread was good. I passed on the ice cream & the baked beans that come incl w/the dinner. Need to return someday, to try other tasty looking items on the menu.
We had a great experience the two nights we had dinner here. The 20 oz filet mignon and 20 oz ribeye steaks had wonderful taste and flavor from the open cook pit. We had no issue with service both nights, and they gladly opened wine we brought with us from a local winery. Everything from the tray of fresh pickles to our ice cream dessert was truly a delight!
I had an outstanding experience at the steakhouse. The food was perfectly cooked, showcasing their culinary expertise. The service was excellent, and Faith, our server, was attentive and friendly. The family setting created a warm and inviting environment, making it a memorable dining experience Highly recommend for a delicious meal and welcoming atmosphere.
Steak by excellence, great service they know their temperatures, service the best in California our waiter make us feel like home, we visit this location several times a year and we drive around 2 hours to enjoy meals at Jocko’s
Thank you Felicia we really enjoy your service today
God I love this place. It's a no frills bar/steak house with solid food, strong cocktails, and a good vibe.
Been coming here for years and it's just like I remember.
Don’t think about it… just get over to this amazing steakhouse! It’s highly rated for all the good reasons! It gets super busy for dinner, especially on the weekends so a reservation is a must! Arrive early to check in. Enjoy delicious food and good company 😊
I have been to a lot of steak house on the central coast. This one is one of the best you can find! The Gambler is so delicious and they always cook it to perfection! Love the atmosphere and the staff is always super friendly. Every time I go I have A great time. Great place to take someone on a date or the whole family!

This is a "no steak sauce required" kind of steak house with a down home feel. Our server, Lauren, was cordial and very welcoming, but what was most surprising, at least in my estimation, was that she was very much cognizant of the caliber of food the kitchen was pumping out. She put a gorgeous 20oz New York strip steak in front of me and casually remarked, “I know right?” when she saw my jaw hit the floor in amazement. I ordered my steak medium rare with grilled asparagus and grilled mushrooms on the side while my better half ordered the 10oz filet mignon medium with a baked potato and a Mai tai to drink. We both asked for ranch dressing on the side salad that comes with dinner which came out with a steaming basket of warm buttery garlic bread. As a person with an aversion to salad, I can honestly say I would come to Jocko’s for just the salad and bread if I lived nearby. Fortunately for my bank account, I’m from the Inland Empire where unfortunately great steak houses like Jocko’s are few and far between. I’ve been to Orange County Mining Company, Clearman's steakhouse in Montclair, and even Lawry’s prime rib in Beverly Hills, none of them came remotely close to the quality of steak Jocko’s delivers. My wife’s filet was “the most tender” she’d ever had and the New York strip I ordered was gorgeously charred by the red oak fire pits to a perfect medium rare. I told my wife I'd do the necessary four hour turn around trip just for Jocko’s because the steak is just that unforgettably good. Definitely would recommend. 10/10.
Food & service were good, except for my salad which was pretty basic (mostly lettuce) and tasted like onions but had none in it. Had the ribeye which was cooked how I ordered. Recommend reservations unless you like waiting
Had the beef ribs and baked potato. I love that these have a lot of meat and are NOT covered in BBQ sauce. They were juicy and seasoned perfectly for a dry rub. Friday night was CRAZY busy but food was worth it.
Parked my rig in the adjacent dirt parking lot, plenty of room there!
The Spencer Steaks are heavenly. The salad with their ranch dressing along with the fully loaded baked potato, garlic bread and baked beans combination was excellent. For dessert, my wife had the Spumone and I had the Black Cherry Ice Cream. Yum!!! Happy stomachs!!! 😋
It had been a minute since my last time here and the Food is still GREAT! Highly recommend the SPENCER 20oz. Prices increased since last time here but worth every penny. So worth the 2 hr ROAD TRIP. DANNY our waiter was AWESOME .
Easily the best steak I’ve ever had. I travel a lot, I’ve been to high end, but this was a truly amazing experience! 20 oz filet medium rare over open pit oak wood. Since 1886, experts at what they do.
