NIPOMO.   Since back in the 1950s, this quintessential California roadhouse has been serving barbecued meat with that distinctive Santa Maria flavor. Jocko's is known far and wide for savory oak-pit pork chops, which, rumor has it, go surprisingly well with a number of Santa Barbara County wines. Accompanying the main dishes is a bevy of tasty sides, like home fries and pinquito beans. Speaking of flavor, the restaurant's interior boasts a little of its own, with knotty pine paneling, the occasional cinder block, and rustic tables thrown in for good measure.   (© 10Best)

One of the best steak houses on the Central Coast. Locally popular - I think dinner only. Long lines, very noisy - but worth the wait [not for a romantic dinner for two].. Wait staff has fun. I recommend the sweetbreads if you like that. If you are a steak fan this is the place.

Always excellent, sometimes long wait, if you are in a rush, call ahead for takeout. A full meal when you order takeout.

Big portions but not big prices. Totally recommend the pork chops, ribs and enough the crab legs.
