Best hamburger for an independent restaurant, Citysearch 2004 View Website Huge portions Affordable prices Italian/American cuisine Original Joe's is one of the last old San Francisco restaurants where waiters still wear traditional tuxedos. This restaurant serves hamburgers, steaks and pastas at reasonable prices. Offering counter seating, large booths and a swanky cocktail lounge, Original Joe's combines Italian and American cuisine in an "old school" atmosphere.

The steakhouse genre's classic components -- open kitchen, red meat, yeasty sourdough, and a hint of Italy -- are alive and thriving at this darkly handsome six-decades-old-and-counting landmark. Sit at the counter and watch the flames leap as the unflappable range chefs grill house-butchered steaks, burgers, and chops and cook up an exemplary Joe's Special. The pastas and vegetables are on the... more

The menu is mostly Italian with dishes such as veal scaloppini or ravioli. American offerings consist of open-faced roast beef sandwiches or broiled chicken, though the best bet is to go... more

Step past two guys sharing a crack pipe on the corner of Taylor and
Turk, push open the doors to Original Joe 's and take a seat at the long
counter.

Here, where a mist of grease from frying calamari hangs in the air and
massive hamburgers broil over mesquite charcoal, it becomes clear that

Original Joe's has been around forever. They have great comfort food. Great Pasta and Italian dishes. This is a OLD Time Favorite. I would recommend for a family dinner with Kids.

Trudged through the tenderloin war zone today to go to this five star restaurant because of the reviews I read on Citysearch. What I encountered was a burned out, boarded up storefront with CLOSED BECAUSE OF FIRE sign posted on it. Doesnt look like its coming back any time soon.

Pros

+ Had five star reviews

Cons

- CLOSED

This is a fun to hang out and get a great burger and a drink. My girlfriends tend to want a more "refined" enviroment but this place ROCKS! Nice to get out of Cow Hollow for a change.

Great customer service too.

Pros

+ Great Burgers

Cons
