Original Joe's Westlake

Located in Daly City right off John Daly Blvd. I have not been here for several years, but this is still a great place to eat. Omar our server was very warm, welcoming and attentive. What we ordered: 1. Club sandwich. The sandwich was very made with very fresh lettuce and tomatoes, turkey and bacon. French fry’s were crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. 2. Meatball Sandwich was tasty 3. Ravioli and meatball. Just as I remembered it fresh and great tasting meat sauce pasta cooked perfect. I come here every time I am in town as I can always count on the food to be consistent.

Treated myself to a nice late lunch for one. Ordered the pork chop with caramelized onions and mushrooms and the silky mashed potatoes. Finished off with their butter cake. Sat in the lounge soaking in atmosphere enjoying my little lunch for one. Oh! My server was amazing! Missed her name but she was amazing.Food: 5/5

Place is buzzing & energetic. Great for a casual dinner with some friends or family to celebrate a birthday . The bar area is cozy & large. If no reservations, you can eat there. The service had some opportunity. Took at least 45 minutes to get our main entrees, and that was too long. Food was good. Had the ribeye w/side of spaghetti . Quality meat & was cooked well.

We made reservations on open table for my son’s 10th birthday. Joes has two parking lots, one in front of the restaurant and one above it. There’s a ramp that goes down to the restaurant level. We had reservations at 6 and it was very crowded in the lobby area. We were seated around 615 which isn’t bad based on how busy it was. The service was impeccable. We started off with fresh sourdough bread with butter along with water all around, Shirley temples for the kids and espresso martini for my brother. The kids ordered the slider trio and buttered pasta from the side menu. There isn’t really a kids menu but items from the side menu was enough for my 8 year old. We ordered calamari and jumbo prawn cocktail for appetizers which were yummy! The prawns were huge and the calamari was perfectly fried. For entrees we ordered the short rib, prime rib and calamari steak. Everything tastes great and they brought out a chocolate cake for my sons birthday.

Although I grew up in SF, and my Mother recommended that we go to Joe's for dinner, a place her and Dad used to frequent What a wonderful experience!! However, it was very crowded when we arrived and the Hostess was gracious and patient with all guests. So we used OpenTable and made reservations to come back in a couple of days. Upon our return, we were promptly seated in a quaint area by the fireplace. Our server, Alberto, was very attentive. The appetizers and food came out esthetically pleasing and tasted great! We ordered desserts as well. However, parking was a challenge, especially since my Mom and I were both disable. But other than that, I highly recommend making reservations. I will certainly return to the Original Joe's of Westlake.

Perfect Beef Rib was so so Tender Veal Parmesean was Delicious. Christian Staff took Great Care of Us. Be back soon.Food: 5/5

I've been coming to this place for decades. It's been remodeled and there have been some changes but it is all essentially the old school dining experience you expect or will discover if it's your first time. I don't eat veal often but I used to really love their veal parmigiana, it's still good but, it used to be much better. Since the ownership changed, the long simmered sauce, which was also served on the pasta is long gone as are the large ravioli topped with the great sauce. Now it's pre-mixed with sauce making them soggy, and a let down compared to what they served before. I really really miss the original preparation. Pictures are Veal Parmigiana with ravioli side, linguini with clams, and butterscotch pudding. Not pictured is the prime rib dinner. Other dishes don't seem to be impacted as much and it's still a good place to eat. Not a destination spot but great for a vintage dining experience with old school staples.

Attentive service & tasty food. The booths can be a tight squeeze, but otherwise comfortable. Having a reservation definitely helps, we only had to wait about 5-10 min. to be seated. Parking can be tough, but there's an extra lot and some street parking. I definitely recommend the steak ala bruno & chicken parmigiana, those are my go-to entrées.

Amazing Italian food! Well worth the wait, but its preferable to reserve a table to save time. Our server was friendly fast and attentive. We had caesar salad, the meat ravioli and lasagna alongside mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes are so incredibly soft snd airy; probably the best we’ve had in a while. Any entree with their tomato meat sauce is worth trying. Cant wait to come back and try non-Italian dishes that looked delicious like their sliders, calamari and meat balls.

Joe's House Special Ravioli and Meatballs is still the same as I remember it. It's been more than 20 years since the last time I ate there when my Dad was still alive. I liked the remodeled restaurant that still kept the Original Theme from the past built into the new modern Century. A co worker took me here today to treat me me for Lunch. We both went at 11am when the Restaurant opened as a walk in without a reservation.
