Original Joe's San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
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? Am I a child undeserving of a seat when unsupervised? (The least they could do is state their policy when booking a reservation--to give a customer notice). My first and last visit to this establishment.
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 big fans of the Veal scallopine with ravioli and salad with thousand island dressing and sourdough bread. We also enjoy the spumoni for dessert . Give San Jose and Marin locations a try . You won't be dissapointed!
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 glass of vino. All of the bartenders ignored us except for Eddie. He apologized for the early closing and was able to get us garlic bread and a salad. This is true hospitality! He is holding the company to its standards. We are obviously in the biz and wanted to give a shout-out to Eddie for keeping the art of hospitality alive!!!!!
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 was not expecting legit flavours in an American restaurant, but then this is legit italian. I also ordered the clam chowder which i had to go because i got full from one piece of arancini and half of my crab cake. I had my eye on the Branzino, i had the best Branzino at Elena's a few weeks ago and im curious if its as good or even better. Tho the castelvetrano olives made me choose clam chowder instead. For desserts we had 17 layer chocolate cake and tiramisu to go (we ate it so fast a few hours after our meal at home, incredible desserts best served chilled) They sent bombolini with a side of raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce. Italian desserts should be more flavours than sweet, and this hits the park. (Pun intended) Experience resembled Elena's brunch churros, can never go wrong with it. A must order. Service: It's my first time coming here. I met a friend that day that told me "im taking you to the first restaurant i went to when i moved to SF". Surprised to be in OJ north beach. Lindsay is our server, she's pretty knowledgeable of the menu. Didn't hover and waited in a timely manner. Incredible service. Bar manager said hello, tho me and my friend are both sober we declined the cocktails. They do have a great selection. Ambiance: There's a reason why its always packed. It's Original Joe's, you just have to experience it yourself. Overall itself a solid restaurant. You'll get more for what you pay. Definitely no comparison in the city, this restaurant has the charm and identity enough to withstand through time. Cheers!
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 the dining experience so pleasant. They are great for large parties but make sure to get a reservation! For smaller groups you can check in and plan to wait an hour or two nearby & grab a drink across the street or in vibrant north beach.
Original Joe's is always serving up great drinks and
Original Joe's is always serving up great drinks and service. The ambience is lively. You have the bar area and the dining area. We usually hang out at the bar and share a couple of drinks while waiting for our table to be ready. They make a solid old fashioned and espresso martini. This place is always crowded. There are TV's in the bar area for all you sports enthusiasts.
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 restaurants in the Italian neighborhood.
With so many places to choose from in North Beach, it
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 seafood thrown in with a delicious spicy sauce. The portions are big too so one appetizer was able to satisfy 4 people while we waited for the entree. The Veal Parmigiana was good, but the Monterey Jack cheese was a bit thick for my liking. It made the entree feel heavier than I wanted. Also, shouldn't it be made with parmasan cheese instead? My wife enjoyed the Clam Linguini with white wine sauce and also mentioned it was oilier than she's used to and sat heavily. Overall, good food, drinks, and service with large portions, but very heavy. Make sure you don't eat all day to be able to finish your food.
Went here for dinner last night and was beyond disappointed
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 didn't stop to help. They kept showing each other something on their phone before finally paying us attention and checking us in. Then a hostess (older blonde woman) grabbed two menus and gestured us to go towards the left of the podium. There were people blocking the way so we waited and then didn't know where to walk since the hostess was behind us. When we turned around to find her she then gestured us to go to the right of the podium and made a face and rolled her eyes at us that we apparently went the wrong way when we initially went to the left where she gestured. We were shocked. Our actual waitress was nice and the food was good but not enough to ever go back. We told her about the hostess and she said she would tell her manager but it was honestly just so rude that we almost didn't stay.
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"
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 and not your typical generic fare and it came with delicious crisp large Melba toast like crackers which complimented it well . The calamari was very tender with a light and tasty batter . Really liked the accompanying sauces . The desserts were phenomenal but I especially recommend the butter cake . An excellent experience.
Impromptu visit to this restaurant after our intended
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 immediately. We'll take it. We sat overlooking the park. There was never-ending traffic of people being dropped off. Service was wonderful. Water topped off. Numerous check-ins. Got extra bread. My one disappointment was the salty chicken marsala sauce. Otherwise, it was delicious. I chose the side of ravioli (a meal in itself). I love the sauce, the soft raviolis). If you dont have teeth, this would be ideal. I got three pieces of breaded thin chicken with lots of mushrooms. Classic dish. My friend had shrimp scampi with noodles. Hugh plate. My other friend had salmon and a side of ravioli. We finished our meal with butter cake. Hugh to share with ice cream and sprinkled blueberries and strawberries. Very sweet, but it's another of their signature dessert. Actually, all their desserts sound good. They have the famous Zanze's cheesecake.
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 be 1-2 if I had no loyalty.
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!
Highly disappointed with the service I received for my
Highly disappointed with the service I received for my birthday. I arrived on time for my 9pm reservation. The hostess told me to take a seat. Me and my party waited. As other patrons came in, they were seated fairly quickly. My friend went to inquire how much longer our party of 3 had to wait. They, and when I say they, I mean five people at the desk! They said they were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive?! Truly left a bad taste in my mouth. As we finally were seated, the host did not apologize as I shared this was unacceptable. At this point, my dinner was not going to be as exciting as expected for a birthday. It gets worse as Guillermo, our waiter, comes to the table. He was offended as I shared my experience and ordered a drink. He made sure to let the table know that it was not his fault. Thereafter, the service went downhill. In the middle of dinner, we had a new server. Just as dry, didn't introduce himself. Food is always good. Service sadly makes me not want to go back to this location. My friends noticed all this and felt the same if not more.
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 best for them, as my group is not quiet. We ordered a few appetizers. Garlic bread, cheesy garlic bread and the spinach artichoke dip. All were delicious. The dozen of us ordered many things. Vegetarian options, pasta, steak and lamb. Not one of us had a single complaint. The servers were all kind. Kept our drinks full the entire time. We ordered desserts, even though none of us really had room. There were a couple birthdays coming up so we wanted to celebrate. One of the birthday people was in the restroom when the desserts arrived and the server turned right back around. It was so nice of them. A+ service. A+ food.
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 with advice. We ordered a Caesar salad, a carbonara pasta and a rib eye steak accompanied by mashed potatoes and esparragado. All dishes were well prepared and the quantity was quite generous. For dessert we ordered an ice cream sundae with cream and chocolate sauce which was delicious, also with a generous amount. In the USA there is no practice of drinking coffee at the end of the meal but here, despite the cups being too large for the amount of coffee, we can drink coffee here. The price/quantity ratio is very reasonable
Typical Italian-American dinner
We wanted to try an Italian-American place experience in San Francisco and we tried Originale Joe's and were really happy with the choice! The place inside is really welcoming and has a beautiful atmosphere. We tried the fettuccine Alfredo and the spaghetti with meatballs, two Italian-American classics. We had a very good time and recommend it!
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 pudding did not disappoint. Share it, it’s rich.
Excellent.!
We ate at original joes for the first time 2 weeks ago and I went back again last week and I have another table booked next week. Delicious food and excellent and quick services I would recommend original Joes to tourists and locals, I would say it’s definitely amongst my top 10 restaurants in SF. I would also highly recommend getting the prime rib dip and the chicken parmigiana on your visit!
Delicious
Absolutely loved our family meal here ! Recommend by a police officer who we got talking too. What a recommendation ! Delicious food, lovey staff and great atmosphere.
Exceptional amazing!!
Wow!! Our meal was amazing! I have photos! it was fabulous!! I'll tell you what I ate... we had house pinot full carage $38 for 2 of us. We both had the house salad, the dressing and homemade sourdough bread was fantastic! We ordered lasagna and mine was eggplant parmesean, it was exceptional!! Then to top off an amazing Meal, we had Joe's sundae (vanilla Gelato) and tiramisu and 2 cappuccinos. Needless to say we boxed up to go alot if food but it was great service! We give it 5 stars!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
