Edie SuttonJune 30, 2016I have traveled all over the world and this was the best steak that I have ever had! Even more tender than a Kobe.Upvoted Mar 4
Deby HillJuly 15, 2017Finally made it to Jocko's today and not disappointed. I had a chicken salad wonderful. Two men got the steak sandwich and it was an insanely large streak. My only complaint was the price of beer, $6.
Dr.OmarövJune 3, 2019Best steak I’ve ever had 👌 rib eye steak medium well is the deal 😍 pineapple juice is delicious 😋
- Chris WongAugust 6, 2015Established in 1956, Jocko’s is a true American roadhouse specializing in steak, ribs and oak pit pork chops, as well as traditional salsa and pinquito beans.
Scott LandersAugust 5, 2013Call early to get reservations, have your whole party show up on time and be prepared to wait anyway. The place is dingy and loud but the steak is great. Is it worth it?
Saleh HApril 26, 2017Was best steak ever ❤️ better to reserve a table before arrival; waiting may last 2 hours.
Mark HammondJuly 3, 2014Get the large steak sandwich. Not really a sandwich - more like a ribeye thrown on top of garlic bread and smothered with fries. To die for.- Charmaine HauberAugust 30, 2014Pork Chops here are sooo yummy. It's four meals for me, crazy huge chops and there's two of them.
Jeffy G.May 24, 201218 oz. filet mignon not big enough for you? Get the extra cut for an extra 10 oz. of steak. That's the biggest filet I've ever seen (& eaten)
Emily Van NordenDecember 29, 2012I love this place, amazing food but they suck about seating people. and I dont know why the HELL they take reservations as you wait 1.5 hours regardless.
GregSeptember 7, 2012The Small spencer is big, so I can't imagine what a large is like, but very good, and ice cream included awesome
Large Spencer. Mmm. Plus, this is the only place I get it med- well. Med is pink ALL over. Oh! And bring a nice bottle, corking fee is only 5
Large Spencer, salad, beans, bread, and some Turley Zin ----> BOMB.com
- For for a Queen, I mean King: large spencer. No joke. It's fun to come monkey around here
Christian WoodsAugust 30, 2014Followed some tips and ordered up the Spencer steak. Holy cow. Worth the wait and more.
alexis w.November 12, 2010You MUST get the Spencer cut...Also, they usually under cook the steaks. Even if you ask for medium, most likely, it'll come out medium-rare.
Kati DeckerJanuary 8, 2011try the filet migon. amazing. and HUGE. will drive the 3 hours to get here for this steak.
If you live 5 hours away, its worth the drive for this steak. Make a trip of it and come by
Queen 👑 JJanuary 19, 2013It was da bomb. Comfort food at its finest. Beans were smoked to a smoldering taste
If you are a local - there are local secrets to be had here :)
robert boydstonJune 2, 2010This is the only place to have a steak on the central coast....great food and ginormous portions....
J DNovember 1, 2012Prepare to wait even with a reservation. I wasn't too impressed with the food. Not to say it was bad or that I wouldn't go back. I'm just saying I've had better.

"Outstanding steak, both filet and top sirloin. Uniquely done with rate of Santa Maria barbecue. No frills, no nonsense, out in the middle of nowhere - perfect for the great steaks."
