Jocko's - Nipomo

Ordered 8 ounce spenser steaks medium rare. Steaks were full of grissel and fat. what meat was there was ****** raw and cold. shrimps were ok. Beans were cold. We were giving Jokos another chance since the last time we went it was the same thing. Won't be back.

We didn't expect this restaurant to be so casual, but once we were there, we really had not set our expectations much higher. Big takeaway was that the kitchen was very much underwater meaning that they were rushing food out too quickly and people all around our table were complaining. In fact, one table next to us got up and walked out because they seem to be so frustrated with the food. Despite this, we weren't very satisfied with our food. We ordered a hamburger, a 16 ounce steak, and a French dip with a grilled artichoke appetizer. The steak was undercooked, and the French dip was cooked well, however, very grizzly. The artichoke was very good. Our server was somewhat inexperienced and could have used more professional training. We still enjoyed ourselves and we're glad we came!

Disappointed. Both steaks were done to the next level of doneness. Salad was all iceberg with a slice of beet on top. Pickels were decent as were the beans. Texas toast was fair. All in all a disappointing meal.

I've been there before so returned because the food is absolutely wonderful. Filet mignon cooked absolutely perfect sat and watched all the steaks being cooked outside on the open flame during dinner. Unfortunately, our server wasn't the most friendly server however, overall I'd go back again and again and again. 

Hadn't been to Jocko's in over 20 years. We had three different types of steak. ALL of them were overcooked and over-salty. Also, the noise level was so intense my wife had to remove her hearing aids. Our server was the lone bright star of the evening, even replacing one of the steaks in a to-go box. Despite all of the reviews saying it was the best steak ever, we were all disappointed and do not intend to revisit the restaurant.
