Upon first walking into this place, it is a bit...off-putting. The brands on the walls and the general cowboy atmosphere tends to be a bit over the top, however the wonderful smells overpower these minor... (more)

Jocko's atmosphere is not what you'd expect from the best steakhouse ever. Go casual. Not to pricey for the amount of food you'll get. You'l... (more)

I live in San Luis Obispo and many of my friends recommended Jocko's for an awesome steak. I work during the evening so the only time I had to try Jocko's was during lunch. That was a big mistake. I ordered the steak... (more)

We read all the reviews about this restaurant at this site and others. Most raved about the food but decried the service. We went to Jocko's after making reservations for 6pm mid-week. We waited for only 15 minutes and... (more)

My husband and I were referred to Jocko's back in 2000 by a local. You have to trust the locals! We go up to Pismo about every other month to play on the dunes and we "plan" an EARLY dinner on Saturday every time. When I say... (more)

Found this place back in the 80's when I came to Nipomo to play golf at Black Lake. I have made every effort to stop there anytime I have been close every since. The steaks are the best and (if they still serve it) the... (more)

We went to Jocko's on the advice of several people. We had a 5:00pm reservation, and waited until 5:45 to be seated. I have never had a waitress that was worse, she was rude, surly & completely useless. On a positive... (more)

Jocko's is GREAT!! I was on the West coast to ink an important radio deal with my good friend Grant Napier, and BOY oh BOY did we have a great steak. We got there with no reservations--and the wait was long. But who cares?... (more)

I honestly cannot say that Jocko's "has the best steak I've ever had in my life!" Sorry, but that just isn't true. Ruth's Chris yes, Jocko's no. And they don't "get it right every time". I went as one of a party of 4. Here's... (more)

I have been to Jocko's at least 5 times now. I live in Southern California, but heard about this place thru locals in Pismo. I have never seen bigger portions of meat served ANYWHERE! The pork chops are to die for, the... (more)

I agree with most of the other reviews with a few exceptions. The steaks are exceptional, and huge. We tried the sirloin and the filet and both were fantastic!! Someone else wrote that the ribs were great, so we tried... (more)
