About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
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.

    This place was a bucket list item for many years and surpassed my expectations. I chose Jocko’s for my birthday dinner and it was worth the two hour drive.

    Artichoke was undercooked and the restaurant was full of screaming kids but Jocko’s is ALWAYS worth it and ALWAYS amazing. It is our absolute favorite!

    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
