What the community has to say about Tommy's Joynt

Information about this business (6)

Founded in 1947 and located on busy Van Ness Ave, Tommy's Joynt is as much a landmark as it is a restaurant. The one of a kind Hofbrau is focused around freshly hand carved meats, generous portions, and over 100 different beers from all around the world. The menu highlights classic 1950's American cuisine at it's best. Famous for their Buffalo stew, large Turkey legs, braised lamb shanks and...

Tommy's Joynt is the original hof-brau of San Francisco, and has become one of San Francisco's longest living institutions. We sit here at Van Ness and Geary, on Route 101, at the crossroads of the City. "Welcome Stranger" decals itself above our front doors, front doors that beg you to come inside and eat"Where Turkey is King." While the City has been changing year after year, we remain...

Our founders established a reputation of delivering hot food and cold drink at a great price. Our atmosphere is like our foo...d, no frills. Want lettuce on your sandwich? Better go to some fast-food shop because we actually want you to taste the meat we carve in front of your eyes. Want a fork to eat those lamb shanks with? Better get up and go get one by the cashier. Want green beans instead...

With its colorful mural exterior, it's hard to miss Tommy's Joynt, an over-60 (years and clientele) haven for cholesterol-be-damned holdouts from America's halcyon days and a late-night favorite for those in search of a cheap and hearty meal. The restaurant's exterior is tame in comparison to the interior, which looks like a Buffalo Bill museum that imploded: a wild collage of stuffed birds, a...

So that’s where they keep all the fat people in California. The guys from Metallica used to hang at this neon-lit hofbrau before they were millionaires, and the look hasn’t changed since. Turkey and roast beef carved to order for sandwiches, buffalo stew for buffalo gals, turkey dinner with all the trimmings, platters of sausages for guys watching the big game. Beer selection from all over the...

A Tenderloin hofbrau that serves hearty portions of all-American fare at rock-bottom prices.

In Short
Every wood-paneled angle inside is covered with quirky memorabilia--from a mannequin on skis to cupcake tins hanging from the ceiling. Patrons order at the counter and sit down...

I first went to Tommy's 40 years ago. It's in the same location and the menu hasn't changed much. It's the best deli food in San Francisco. Always fresh meats, buffalo stew, bread, etc. This is the place to drink beer. Rotating tap selection and...

That meat is to die for. I can't put it in other words, it is quite possibly the best BBQ I've ever had.

The British will love this place....as there's NO TIPPING, as such

Been coming to SFO for over 25 years and this is greatest, and the cheapest, place to eat and drink in San Francisco. You queue up (wait in line) to order, collect and pay for your food-which is really amazing stuff; the huge sausage sandwich...

Tommy's Joynt is the original hof-brau of San Francisco and has become one of San Francisco's longest standing institutions.

Both inside and out, Tommy's Joynt is an eyeful! It is huge and historic, with murals, animal heads, and various odds and ends, all packed into a building that is over 100 years old. Lines can be long, but you will move down the cafeteria-style procession quickly. Choose your sandwich, grab a pickle from the barrel, and sit. A server will be by soon to take your beer order. The international...
