Growing up in the SF Bay Area, we came here for special occasions, and I always remembered the food and service being great. Original Joe's has that old-timey feeling and I'm glad this place has stayed around. We took my mom to lunch last S

4 stars. You can easily and happily piss away boo koo bucks at Joe's Westlake. The spot was a bit noisy but nobody was unruly. Thankfully no parents oblivious to their ruined offspring were there. We shared a 24 ounce Porterhouse steak and

I've been going to original joes westlake for years it's very good. Food is always consistently good and service is great. They have great booths in their main dining room that are beautiful and big. Added bonus they have a parking lot!!

We had lunch on Thursday, 9/11 and returned on Friday, 9/12 for dinner! The food was delicious at lunch and dinner. Prime rib French dip and rigatoni special were standouts at lunch. The chicken marsala and filet of sole were standouts at dinner.

My parents and I went last night and it was a wonderful experience. Our waiter keep checking in on our table and she was great. Food was fabulous. Thank you
Easy to make reservations.
Clean & sanitary bathrooms. Love the ambiance! Service was great! Drinks are yum! Food is delicious! Portions totally worth the price. And they have their own parking lot - two of them!!
Music was vibin'.
Food was good overall, some were good like the fettuccini Alfredo and braised ribs while others like the fish and clam chowder were blah. Service was on point, they brought utensils and filled beverages constantly. Big kudos! I wouldn't expect
Horrible.
Why accept reservations at 9:30 or 9:45pm if you're just going to rush all the food at once? We had 9:30pm reservations and checked in at 9:34pm was promptly offered a booth in a high traffic area where the service station meets the bar area. Wa
A neighborhood staple! Always very busy and full of locals.
Delicious food, especially the pastas. Service can take a bit, especially the drinks - ours arrived after our food did. The servings are large, always enough to take home.
You definitely are going to need a reservation because this
You definitely are going to need a reservation because this place was packed from the moment I arrived at 4:30 until I left at 7:15pm. That being said, the service was quick, and I never had an empty cup longer than 2 minutes (I cleared 4 glasses). T
Excellent service. Delicious food!
It was 2018. Had to put different date to leave review. Excellent service. Excellent, delicious food. Highly recommend you book in advance, but if you have to wait it's worth it. Fabulous food!!!
Classic outside of the core in Wesrlake
Classic outside the core. Wonderful, warm classic Italian in a neighbourhood setting. Great staff and if it’s full just sit in the bar and you will be treated just as well. Classics like ravioli, crab Louis, etc. are great so you cannot go wrong.
Good food and atmosphere
This was my first time at Original Joe's in Westlake. Everyone else had been there before. The decor is beautiful, but the dining room is very noisy when the restaurant is full, which it was. It was so noisy that our waiter didn't hear one
If visiting San Francisco, take the time to venture to Daly City!
We decided on a quick San Francisco getaway from Vancouver. With a recommendation from my brother, we ventured from Alameda to Daly City without a reservation. There was an hour wait for a table but were able to sit at the bar top facing the kitchen
Great foods and wonderful service!
The place was very busy! The food was great and the service was excellent! We really enjoyed our evening at Original Joe’s Westlake!
Good food, family friendly.
Party of 6. We had reservations. We arrived 5 minutes late. Hostess was a little snarkey. We had to wait about 20 min before being seated. No room for cocktails in the bar. Once seated, server (Giovanni) was delightful and attentive. Cocktails
Char Grill Salmon Perfection
Consistent great food and drinks. If you're thinking of just appetizers or a dinner platter and a side for a fulfilling meal, Original Joe' of Westlake fits the bill.
Food was good.
I ordered the Arancini to start off, and the entree Shrimp Louie Salad. It was just the perfect amount, esp since we had gotten 2 rounds of bread as well. Service was great!! Server was attentive & friendly. Ambiance was nice, very old school s
This place was very good, I Wish I lived closer.
Loved the retro vibe. I felt like a celebrity. Food was great, service was great. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
In the past, I have visited go to Westlake.
It's been a little while, but the last time I was there who is always good, and you've met a lot of famous interesting people there sometime I meant to go to the 49ers, and it would be a while back in the 80s. My name is Mark Bulnes
Food tremendous and lots of variety.
We sat at the bar and watched as so many dishes were prepared. Had pesto linguini and so tasty. Lots of complex flavors. Make a reservation. Even on a Tuesday wait for 5 people was about 1.5 hours.

Original Joes was a pleasant surprise for me as it was my first time dining there. As you enter, you are immediately welcomed by the warm wood interior and hum of casual bar-goers on the left and formal dining straight ahead. We had a reservation a

Great ambiance and great food and service is great and good seating and lighting and it was epic
Solid American diner food with an international twist.
I like their pasta dishes and the steak was pretty solid. Unlimited coffee and mimosas in the weekend also add a nice twist. Will be going back with the entire fam.
Close your eyes and think of your ultimate comfort food.
Does it include many many carbs? Lots of cheese? Perhaps a big amount of garlic? Maybe it's not even food but a martini instead? If your comfort food hits all those categories then you can not find a more satisfying place to feast your tastebuds th

For their sky-high prices, even BEFORE the pandemic, their somewhat-greasy fare can't be justified. 15 minutes away in Pacifica, is Viva Italiano, for the best Italian food on the coast for many miles, for about a THIRD of "original Joe's"

Went to joes today to celebrate my husband and my son in laws birthdays ! I've been going to joes since I was a kid and I'm old ! Been going there's so long I remember the original menu ! Have always enjoyed joes especially the bar - tonite I have t
I grew up eating at Joes.
We always lived in a Doelger home therefore eating at Joes was of Doelger ethics! I have always been a fan of their food, service and ambiance. Their staff is upbeat, hospitable and friendly no less than 100% of the time. Why did it take me 34 year
Good place to have drinks with friends and calamari.
I haven't eaten anything on their menu that's $25+. Their ravioli is good. Between the brownie with ice cream vs the butter cake, I like the brownie more.
I've gone to Westlake Joes for probably 40 years.
I love the mid century feel, love the food. Kinda wish bar was kept old school, but still like it.
Very good food and waiters had great customer service.
Nice atmosphere. Would recommend making a reservation in advanced though. Normally, there's a long wait if not.
This restaurant is an institution in the San Francisco area.
After the remodel, they were able to rejuvenate an old-school vibe while still having a modern feel. The staff is great. The food is great. I love this place.
RIBEYE STEAK WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
For years WLJ's had the best grade of ribeye steaks. Yesterday the steak was so grizzly I couldn't cut it. After 15 minutes of trying, I gave up. The manager was apologetic but I won't order any meat dishes there again. Obviously they're serving a le
Long time "go to" restaurant
Westlake Joe's has been around since I was a kid. It is more crowded than ever these days so make a reservation. Excellent menu selections and an great bar. Portions are large and always tasty. Wait staff is gracious and helpful.
Good food. Great service
Excellent food and service. I had the fried calamari appetizer and the eggplant parmesan entree. Both tasted great and were cooked to perfection. Given that the restaurant was absolutely packed, service was still very fast and friendly. I walked in w
Meh -
Pretty disappointed in the food. Also pretty sure staff cloned my credit card as we saw a bunch of fraudulent changes immediately following our visit after using our card. Will never go back.
Beautiful restaurant with many plants
Love the new designs especially the plants around the restaurant, love tge color of the booth. Food is ok. Servise is ok.
Fantastic! 6 Stars
It was so wonderful we went twice! Ala Bruno was unbelievable. My wife had the fish and it was huge! Delicious. The presentation was beautiful and the staff was 110% and we only ate in the lounge!
Food and Service never disappoint
Once again, The Original Joes of Westlake did not disappoint. Everything about the experience was 5 Stars. Our server was FANTASTIC. Food Hot, plentiful and reasonably priced. I had the most gorgeous Cobb Salad, the presentation was truly a work of a
Not as good as old owners...
Not happy with new owners, Prices are much higher. Service is slow. Food (Veal parma) was burned & I gave back to waiter. Instead of a new piece he put in a to go box. Will be a while before I return..
So I was introduced to Joe's by my mom and her siblings.
This is now one of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing. I haven't had one bad meal yet and the customer service is always top notch. This restaurant is always packed which says a lot. People love Original Joe's!!!

This is an amazing restaurant,a staple of Daly City family dining always busy consider making a reservation
Service was great.
Food was great. I just wish that the portions were a little bigger only thing I was disappointed in. I had lasagna.
What is not to like about this old staple.
Great food and good service. Really enjoyed the cocktails they have and food is solid. The atmosphere is very family oriented as well. Enjoyed coming to this place when I am in the mood for a nice prime rib or some pasta.

YumA little birthday dinner between two and the staff was kind of enough to split everything in half for us. We were expecting two plates but instead we were surprised with it being split already for us! * We got: - Artichoke Spinach Dip: ugh so good

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Original Joe’s Westlake Daly City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Original Joe’s Westlake Daly City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Original Joe’s Westlake Daly City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Original Joe’s Westlake Daly City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
