We had a great experience at Original Joe's Westlake! I stopped by around 4:30pm hoping to make a reservation for later that evening, but they were already booked. The hostess was super nice and added me to the waitlist -- and when my wife and

My pasta spicy rigatoni was very flavorful and my husband's chicken was made perfectly

We came in with no reservations and waited about an hour for a table. They sat us in the bar area, but they had made a table out of one of those Costco plastic tables, which was a little weird. They just pretty much put us in a corner, put a table cl
Service and ambiance never disappoints .
Best Espresso Martini I've had. The wait staff are always attentive and accommodating. The arancini's are always a must to start with. The jelly donuts were also a hit. Thank you for the wonderful service today'.

This place has been around for a long time, and I finally got a chance to check it out. Most of the food here is pretty good. I loved the calamari. The NY steak that I got was tasty but it felt more rare to me than what I ordered which was medium rar
I've never had a negative experience at Original Joe's.
The line is always long even though the restaurant is big! But that's for good reason. It's one of the best places in town to grab a prime rib at an unbeatable price! For a little over $50, you get a large, nice cut of prime rib, mashed p

I've been to this location and the Walnut creek one and this one has more of an "old money" vibe to it. Super cute inside! I came to celebrate my engagement and they gave us a little butter cake and gelato, it was delicious! They'

Always come here for birthdays, anniversaries, or just for a nice dinner. Came recently for a birthday and everything was delicious as usual! Wanted to give a special shoutout to our waiter, I believe his name was Raul, he had a wonderful singing voi

I was surprised with the line before it's even opened on Monday lunch. This place filled up very quickly. Although it's busy, but our server took care of us pretty well. We always get our clean plates, warm bread with butter and our warm wa
Where to start.
.cool vibe the moment you walk in. Always pleasantly greeted as soon as you walk in. Fabulous bar if you have to wait for a table, but you can usually find a seat at the counter. If I could, I'd give the food 10 stars. By far, the best French D

We came to Original Joe's to celebrate my mom's 91st birthday, thinking it would be the perfect place since we used to come here often about 15 years ago. A few days before, I was able to get a 9:30pm reservation, and at 9pm I received a te

Forever a staple in this area! Service is always great and makes it easy for my family and I to come back! The chicken or veal parmigiana is my go to and the side raviolis are always on point. The calamari is a must as well! Well made drinks too if y
Another delicious meal at Westlake Joe's.
This time we got the tempora shrimp and the artichoke dip and that was really good. We had never got that before we got our usual Dungeness crab salad, sliders, mashed potatoes, french fries and it was all delicious.
I placed a phone order.
Went there to pay, told me they would bring the food out but it's like they forgot I was there. I checked in every few minutes and they said they'd call my name. I'm pretty sure it was just sitting there and I waited almost 50 minutes
Eat here during my 70 birthday with my family.
The food was excellent we had hamburger sandwiches, shrimp scampi, chicken parmesan, and meatballs as appetizer everything was excellent, service was excellent. Will go again to try other dishes. Make sure to make a reservation.
After seeing Jacqueline S.

Original Joes is a traditional classic Italian place.
Favorite recipes that have been celebrated for decades. Often, no reservations are available "day of", so plan ahead. Usually room in the bar before 6... so we ran in at 5:45, yes, two small tables available. We were greeted warmly, seat
This is one of my childhood favorites.
Whenever I go there to eat, I get great nostalgia. The service is great, and the food is delicious. They never miss at Joes.
Did not disappoint! Service was amazing.
The ambience was so beautiful. A perfect place for dinner. The food was delicious and did not take too long to be served!
We love it here.
A true staple at Westlake. And we discovered something else on their menu that we ended up seriously loving...their Rueben sandwich with fries! Like whaaaat?! How did we miss this before? The corned beef Reuben on rye bread was juicy, flavorful, and
Cold food
Ate at the bar. Had good bar service from the bartender. Food arrived cold. Replacement fries were just as cold as the first ones. Burgers were cold also. Food must have sat out without being served. Not cheap for cold food.

We were lucky to sneak in before the Friday dinner rush hit! We started with the calamari which was breaded just enough, nice and crispy and the tarter and cocktail sauce were definitely in house creations! The cocktail sauce was a tad spicy with a

Joes of Westlake always provided a memorable eating experience. I highly recommend getting the cheeseburger, it's the best one you'll ever have. Get the butter cake for dessert and trust me you won't be disappointed.

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

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 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

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.
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.

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
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 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 CoolestCough45 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, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45'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.
