Original Joe's keeps it classic, just like it was when I was a kid. Not much has changed, and that's exactly why I love it. I happily drive a 3-hour round trip just to enjoy their amazing burgers. It's always worth the journey. Highly recommend--enjoy!
OJ's is my home away from home when I'm in town. The service is career, professional and the chicken noodle soup is my comfort go-to. Family oriented surroundings make for a delicately lit and enjoyable setting if dining in. Otherwise, take out is just as well! I appreciate the hospitality and of course the soup. Makes me feel better when I'm home sick. It's a home away from home. Tip of the hat.
We went for a graduation dinner. Im recently diagnosed with Celiacs and was really worried about cross contamination. I called ahead and the receptionist was very helpful and checked with the kitchen- even gave me some possible menu items. When we arrived, I let our server, Jenny, know and she was such a reassuring help! She was completely familiar with the menu and what was safe for me. I had the grilled pork chop and baked potato - delicious! My husband enjoyed his veal cutlet with beef ravioli. I just wish we lived closer! We'll definitely be back. -Celiacs & gluten free options
This is definitely a traditional Bay Area spot, as I have many family members who grew up in the area and know and love this place. While it is a well-known establishment, it didn't blow me away. My husband and I went to this location right when they opened on a week day and we got seated right away. We did not opt to get any appetizers, and stuck with entrees only. I got the pesto pasta, and my husband got the chicken parmesan. The pesto was good and fresh. The sauce on the chicken parmesan definitely tasted homemade. The food was good but not outstanding. That was the extent of our visit. The waiter was friendly. The ambiance was nice - it was a quiet late afternoon. Parking was across the street - we ended up having to pay because we couldn't find close street parking.
Excellent good! Impeccable service! A classic Italian steakhouse. It is pricey but the portions are huge! You definitely get what you pay for!
Original Joe's has been around for a long time, and there's a lot of fanfare over this restaurant. I really enjoyed my dinner here - solid portions, classic options, friendly staff. I didn't think anything was out of this world spectacular, but as the name suggests, it's the perfect place for some comforting Italian food. I came here for a business dinner on a Friday, and although we could not make a reservation because we were a small group, we were seated quickly without more than a five minute wait. Service was also quick, and we were able to put in our drink orders within a few minutes of sitting down. I got the chicken Parmesan, which came with two big portions of chicken, both generously, breaded and abundant in sauce. It also came with a side. I got vegetables, which were well cooked and soft. I was happy with my meal and happy that I had leftovers for tomorrow.
