There is this steakhouse called Jocko's in a town called Nipomo, Ca. It is the best steak I have ever had. And the ugliest resturant I have ever been to. Nipomo is about 30 minutes south of Pismo Beach on Hwy 101, and is only two exits (I think). You have to make reservations, because this place is always packed to the gills. Their filet mignon is huge, and so good. We make it to this steakhouse every time we are even close, and most of the time have to drive out of our way. Highly recommended!
