Original Joe's San Francisco Reviews
I've long considered OJ's in San Jose my favorite
I've long considered OJ's in San Jose my favorite restaurant. This was my first time at the one in SF. It's the same food as the one in SJ - pasta, other Italian food, and steaks. Very good food. The bread and butter is amazing. Pri

The ambiance was like a classy Italian old school restaurant. The service was phenomenal. We went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and it was perfect. The food was delicious, fresh, and authentic.

Went here for dinner on a busy weekend, and we waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated. We sat outside and it was pretty chilly, but the outdoor area has amazing heaters. I ordered the linguine and clams, and I really enjoyed it! However, I felt like

The sauce was very good but my noodles didn't taste very ready to me. However the flavor was delicious, I just wish they would've done the noodles a bit better. The service was amazing, we had two servers who were very kind and attentive co

Original Joe's is always a great staple and one of my favorite go to spots. Out of all my visits this was probably my least favorite, but that had more to do with the dishes I ordered than the restaurant itself. The Cobb salad was fresh, the spi

I came here because my Taxi Driver said it was the one place I should eat at while I'm here. Jimmy, I'm not sure if you were a secret ambassador for the restaurant, but if you're reading this: I get it. Thank you. I had a 9PM reserva

I've been wanting to check this place out for a few years, and finally had the chance. We stopped in for lunch on a weekday, and were some of the first people in the restaurant. They don't offer kids options but were willing to split any fu

It's like stepping back in time with this world, famous restaurant... And it certainly didn't disappoint! The appetizers your order were outstanding, and we literally had a pile of calamari between the four of us... Tender and delicious. Po

North Beach institution Original Joe's ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Great classic restaurant in San Francisco's historic North Beach district. Great cocktails to accompany a fun Italian inspired brunch menu of tasty dishes. Our server Amy was absolutely wonderful and made our meal that much more enjoyable. Res
Unmatched service!
The food and atmosphere at Original Joe's are unmatched in the city. The flavors are exquisite, and they serve very generous martinis, too. However, what makes this restaurant truly special is the service, and especially the care and considerati
Don't visit San Fran and not eat here
Absolutely a dinner to remember. We were fortunate enough to make reservations because this place was hopping. In spite of that our food came out very quickly. I had the half order of spaghetti and meatballs and it was still huge. Over a quart of
Still great after all these years.
There is a reason that Original Joe's is still so popular after all of these years. The food and the service are outstanding. The three of us had quite a variety of dishes, including the Veal Milanese, Linguine & Clams and the Fried Prawns.
Great service and food!
We had such a great time here when visiting San Francisco. We were there on a Saturday night and it seemed like there were a lot of local friends and family there celebrating birthdays. Their desserts looked amazing but we were so stuffed after our d
Best in Class
I’m firmly in the “this was the best meal we had in S.F.” camp. We go to a LOT of Italian restaurants, and everything at OJ’s was outstanding. Even the fried calamari, which is tasteless in virtually every restaurant we go to (and we order it

Our recent culinary journey took us to San Francisco. It was the Fourth of July and we were meeting with family from Australia. I booked a 5 top on one of the busiest nights on short notice to eat at Original Joe’s. This eatery is iconic and has b
Enjoyable and yummy
We simply turned up without a reservation but we were warmly and happily seated outside. The service was quick polite and friendly. We shared a lasagne between us and thoroughly enjoyed people watching on the busy street
Best lamb chops
Visited fifteen years ago, had the best lamb chops ever, back on holiday from the UK, had the lamb chops again, superb as good as I remembered, faultless service, not cheap but real quality.
Good to very good food. But they charge you a higher price than the price listed on the menu.
I had a late lunch at Original Joe's on Union St. by Washington Square in Little Italy. While the food was good to very good, the service was poor and, worst of all, they engage in deceptive prices. I ordered a salmon main course. The menu sai
If you show up without someone in your reservation for two,
If you show up without someone in your reservation for two, you will not be seated. Horrible!!!--why should anyone wait unseated, when the other guest hasn't arrived yet? Am I incapable of ordering drinks and appetizers in anticipation of my guest?
San francisco North beach original joes is not good at all.
We tried it twice since as a family , we had been fans of the other SanFrancisco location for over 50 years. we gave North beach two tries and both failed. San Jose is awesome as well as the Marin location. The food is Always spectacular. We are b
First off, I was visiting my bestie in North Beach.
We love to come to the bar at Original Joe's and grab wine and snacks. This time we came, it was a Sunday and the Google listing said they closed at 10 PM but when we walked in at 9:20 the bar said they were closed. No prob and we asked to just get a
Some of the best spinach dip you could ever have no
Some of the best spinach dip you could ever have no exaggeration. It's a small but telling reason why this place is held in such high prestige in the city for decades.
Food: Complimentary bread was cold, and gummy.
easily fixed by getting it warmed up. Portions are huuge, flavours are incredible. No complaints tbh. Im pescatarian and my friend is a vegetarian, we have more than enough options to choose from. I had the dungeness crab cake, which blew my mind i
The food is quality and the portions are VERY large.
The spicy rigatoni is one of my favorites & something I consistently order. They also make a combination of excellent classic cocktails and fun new originals. I will never get over how great their service is. They split plates for you & make

Perfect Italian food
We had not made a reservation, but were quickly given a nice table. The service was great! Smooth, friendly and fast. The food was good. The atmosphere is great, a bit loud and hectic, but really typically American. Still one of the better Italian re

With so many places to choose from in North Beach, it surprised me how busy Original Joe's was. The food is decent quality and they have a little something for everyone's diet. I enjoyed the Fritto Misto which is basically calamari with some other se

Went here for dinner last night and was beyond disappointed in the service. We walked up to check in for our reservation and there were 4 people behind the podium laughing and talking amongst themselves. They saw us walking up and standing there but
Very old school Italian.
Big servings of rich pastas along with classic veals and chicken items. Never leave hungry
The food is amazing.
Service was amazing. I came here for my one year olds birthday and they were so kind. And so welcoming. Highly recommend.
Amazing food, great venue, and amazing staff.
It's great for a lunch, dinner, or wedding after party.

Great food, friendly & responsive service, nice "rat pack" ambiance. Made my short list of North Beach restaurants.
Very cool looking establishment.
Top notch speedy service. I had the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp and found it delicious not overly creamy which is commonly done and the shrimp was tasty . I especially enjoyed their spinach artichoke dip as it seemed like very fresh ingredients an

Impromptu visit to this restaurant after our intended restaurant changed their menu to Persian food instead of italian. We wanted Italian. We stopped at Tony's, but the wait time was one hour and a half. This restaurant was able to sit us outside imm
DO NOT ORDER RAVIOLI Went tonight for a dinner.
Got the Cobb salad and the ravioli. Cobb was decent/good, ravioli was spot on chef boyardee. To the T. It was really gross. Couldn't even come close to finishing it. I've been here other times and had a good experience so you guys get 3 stars. Would
This place has amazing service.
But. At medium rare, the filet mignon was tougher than a Denny's NY strip steak. Pasta wasn't sauced enough (shrimp scampi). The good news is that the service and atmosphere of the restaurant itself is amazing and more than worth it!
Too loud.
Food below average, tried the chicken parm and was disappointed, chicken was rubbery. Service was excellent though.

Was brought here for a work dinner.
We were actually supposed to go somewhere else, but they weren't open until 5, so the consensus was to come here. They were able to accommodate my large group last second, and were fairly nice about it. We were put in a room, which was probably bes
Couples night out
Superb restaurant with a great menu and value for money, great staff and I highly recommend the 25oz steak with some local IPA
Italian restaurant
We were well received at this restaurant, which is located in a typical Italian neighborhood. The restaurant's decor is reminiscent of the 60s with tables for 4 people with leather bench seats and cushions. The staff are very friendly and helpful wit

Well worth the visit
Great experience, food & company. The service was efficient and the restaurant very busy. We had wonderful wine and enjoyed our evening
Great food and atmosphere!
Sat at the counter overlooking the kitchen - wow, they work hard. The food was delicious and the service was solid. One of the best burgers I ever had. French dip sandwich amazing. Caesar and roasted beet salad were phenomenal. Butterscotch pud

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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
* FamousStation67, 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.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Original Joe's San Francisco 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 FamousStation67 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, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67'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 San Francisco!
* 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.
