on Citysearch Apr 08, 2010Upon 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)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2009Jocko'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)

on Citysearch May 07, 2009I 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)

on Judys Book May 01, 2009We 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)

on Citysearch Dec 29, 2008My 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)

on Citysearch Dec 20, 2008Found 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)

on Judys Book Dec 08, 2008We 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)

on Citysearch Mar 03, 2008Well if you like Cafeteria food u should go here. Cheap meat cooked over oak. They bring you Crackers and salsa to start i guess the salsa is for the steak. Where i come from we like our meat to be as close to prime as... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 28, 2008I 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)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2008I 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)

on Citysearch Nov 25, 2007I 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)

on Citysearch Sep 24, 2007I even went to french culinary school and the steak cooked over the oak fire was the best I ever had. The sides could use some work, but I would drive 2 hours to eat here. You spend 20-30 buck for a pound to a pound and a half of... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2007I've been eating at Jockos every so often for years, and it's like nowhere else. Sure, the wait can be long, even with a reservation, the decor seems to be something Goodwill diddn't take, but it's all part of the charm.... (more)

on Citysearch May 25, 2007This is the best place my husband and I have found for Beef Ribs!!! No place else can compare. Sorry to say that once we tried the Ribs we have not tried anything else at Jocko's. We are so hooked on them that we want them... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2007Do you like a good steak but don't necessarily want to pay over $50 for it? Try Jocko's if you're in the Nipomo area. My wife and I had the ... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006This place is kinda obscure and is located in Nipomo which is kinda in the middle of nowhere...but let me tell you if you want a good steak then make the trip to Jacko's. This place is home of the steak!! The portions are... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 11, 2006OK, this is a fantastic place to get a great steak dinner. This is also a great place to get a great drink in a casual atmosphere. So in such a place, we expect to be the only people there? Yes, there is a wait. Popularity... (more)
