    Jocko's Steakhouse is absolutely incredible. To start, I am not a pickle eater but I tried the pickle and it was great. After that we had 2 grilled artichokes that were out of this world. Next we moved on to a great salad and now for the main course. My wife and I split an 8oz filet that was so tender a butter knife would have cut right through it. The smoked flavor of the steak was so good words cannot describe. Our sides were a baked potato and a great bowl of beans. The bread for the table has such a great flavor that could be a meal in it self. Thank you Jockos for providing some of the best food on the planet. I generally tell everyone they need to "Follow me to Jocko's".
