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.

This is my third visit to Jockos and it was just as good as the first two. When I plan a trip up the coast from my home in the San Fernando Valley, I always include a visit to Jockos. The Spencer steaks are the best! They are flavorful, juicy and tender! By far the finest steak I have ever tasted ! The salad, loaded back potato and garlic toast are the perfect complement. 😋👌

Our table was ready when our reservation time came. The service was excellent and the food tasted as good as it always does. Jocko’s is our go to restaurant anytime we come to the Central Coast the past 30 years.

I have been coming to Jockos for almost 20 years. Every visit is special. The red oak smoke from the open grills gives the steaks best barbecue I have ever experienced. If you love a great steak dinner add this to your list.

This was our second time at Jocko’s and it was great. Hailey is a wonderful & thoughtful server & very friendly too. She was on point! Food was fabulous & ambiance was nostalgic. We were celebrating our anniversary & the second time around was better than the first experience. Thank you.
