The Best Central Coast Barbecue Spots, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Arguably the most beloved steakhouse in the area, Jocko’s features an adjustable wood-fired grill where a blazing red oak charcoal fire sits under big, juicy chops of beef. Named after a town ancestor named Ralph “Jocko” Knotts from the late 1800s and early 1900s, Jocko’s took over its current space in the 1950s with Mexican dishes and grilled meats. Other than classic steaks like rib-eye, filet mignon, and New York strip, Jocko’s grills up lamb chops, linguica sausage, sweetbreads, spare ribs, chicken, and salmon, which means the menu will please virtually everyone. If looking for something more modest, the cheeseburgers, grilled over the same fire, are also fantastic." - Matthew Kang
