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.

    The price they charged didn't match the menu. Also remember it cost $9 more for asparagus, they don't tell you that when you order. It's in very small print on the menu.

    Jocko’s is classic! A good old fashioned unstuffy steakhouse that captures the outdoor bbq magic that is this region of the central coast

    Waited a half hour to be seated even though we had a reservation. Took forever to get our food. My entree was served cold and was inedible. We will not go back.

    One of our favorite restaurants! We drive over 200 miles & get a room for the night just to come here for their pork ribs! They are simply the BEST! We have traveled extensively throughout the USA & found no place that can beat Jocko’s ribs. Seasoned, meaty & cooked to perfection. Excellent cocktails always. We have been coming here for over 30 years. Highly recommended!

    Jocko's is the place! I usually get a ribeye steak but this time I noticed on the menu the Wednesday special was turkey mashed potatoes, peas, gravy, cranberry sauce with Texas bread that was so delicious and the dinner salad was good and I had a nice Diet Coke zero soda

    It was a Tuesday evening, so it was not as busy as usual. The service is always great! The 20 ounce filet is, as usual, the best tasting steak ever.
