It's been a long since I been to Orginal Joe's Westlake. My first visit I believe was a different owner. The waiter we had was very rude, acted like he didn't like his job. Never went back again till my family bought me there to celebrate my birhday. The place has changed. They renovated the place, looks so nice more in inviting. The food was delicious, I had the hamburger which was huge. I took half home and had it for lunch the next day. Other family members had the prime rib dip, piccata, steak aka bruno, and prime rib all was delicious. Warm butter cake was excellent. The best part is our server, Michelle (I wish I knew her last name). She was great. She took care all of our needs, made sure we didn't run out water, more bread, etc. very nice lady!! I will surely come back!!
The food is always delicious! Sit at the counter and watch the kitchen run like a well oiled machine. They are calm, no yelling and take pride in their work. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The wait for a seat can be long, but it is well worth it! Also, have a cocktail and desert. You won't be disappointed.

I've been going to Westlake Joe's for more than 40 years and it has never disappointed. I went recently after its reopening and am happy to say the food was great, same flavor as before, really friendly staff and service. The prices are definitely higher than they were but it was worth it. They even remodeled it to still have that old time feel but nice and fresh! My mother was in heaven, savoring every minute!
I threw my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Party in the Cascade and it was beyond expectations. The staff was terrific to work with and of course the food was yummy (and looked beautiful). I highly recommend it!

Excellent food, excellent service. Such a great place the we remember from years gone by.
I absolutely love everything about this restaurant! The food is fabulous, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is just perfection. The only thing I miss is the live music in the lounge but I am so happy to be able to dine at Joe's and listen to some of my favorite tunes of all time on their wonderful sound system. A huge thank you to the Duggan Family for bringing this amazing restaurant back for us to enjoy once more. They did a magnificent job. May Original Joe's Westlake continue to thrive for years to come. Cheers!
The food is amazing and the service is the best! Never disappointed! 👌🏻
Our waitress was the best it was a crowded Saturday but we knew that going in.we had the burgers the file is so warm butter cake and the bambolis (pillowy donuts), it was ALL delicious, enjoyable, and worth the wait! Definitely coming back u see new ownership, we are patrons from way way back 👍
The waiters are very sharp in their tux The food was excellent the price is fair everything was done in class it’s a five star I love the New change from original to Westlake Joe’s thumbs up
Like the old Westlake Joe's but better! Great food, good service. And they added windows to the banquet room and bar. I enjoy this place every time I come.
We had a great time!! the food was tasty and the atmosphere wonderful. Yay to brunch and the Beignets are to die for!
Prime rib dip is stacked with meat that is actually tasty and juicy. French fries are great. The eggplant parmigiana is really tasty. It doesn’t come with it but I would recommend it with a side order of spaghetti unless you’re vegetarian since it’s meat sauce.
Really easy to do pickup. There’s several friendly staff waiting outside as you drive up. Just give them your order number and they’ll bring it right to you or have you pull into a parking space.
Why are the specials not on the printed menu anymore? Must you be so mysterious because I’ve still been getting my special every Tuesday of the delicious Turkey and stuffing thanksgiving dinner nonetheless. But why put it on the secret menu!!!?? It’s one of my favorite things to eat in general and my favorite thing on the now secret menu.
We had my dad’s Celebration of Life reception here. The planner Tracey was very helpful. Michelle and the staff were great. The food and service was good as always. Some family couldn’t stop saying how much they enjoyed the menu-which is one of the reasons we chose Joe’s.
We ordered the mini-sliders (3) with fries along with the grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad. Both items were quite good and was a nice break from cooking at home. There were not a lot of people eating inside but there were a few takeout orders which are picked up the bar.
Tl; dr - The food is delicious. Atmosphere is awesome. The vibe is chill. The service is slow. Prices are medium/high
I want to say this place looks so nice. I really loved the decor.
The menu isn't too complicated but even starters are $18+ each. The food is really delicious. We ordered 4 dishes and two appetizers for 6 people, probably should have just gotten 3 main dishes. No room for dessert because the portions we so nice. Note that two of the house specials don't come with sides so don't be surprised when they tell you.
I was hosting a small group and they were slightly displeased with how long things were taking.
In total everything ran to $200 with tip. A little more than I was expecting but definitely worth it in my opinion for the occasion. I would recommend this place.

Veal Parmigiana and Chicken Parmigiana: why did I order two of practically the same thing? Because I wanted to compare the two. Both were excellent but if I had to choose one, it'd be the veal parmigiana. We ordered two sides of ravioli. I enjoyed the ravioli but next time I'd switch one of the sides to spaghetti. But I recommend both entrees.
This is on our must visit list every time we’ve in SFO. Waiters in tuxes, linen napkins, courteous service & tasty food in abundance make it a go to destination. The food in fact almost every time requires a to go box so the cost is for 2 meals. I highly recommended this restaurant.
We made a reservation and requested a table in their outside seating area. The person(s) that designed and constructed this outside area, did a wonderful job of making it a lovely and relaxing dining space.
There was plenty of room between tables, and they decorated the area with pretty plants and herbs along the walls, heaters, string lights and good quality wood flooring.
We will definitely request to be seated outside next time we go. Kudos to Westlake Joe's!
As always, we had a delicious meal, excellent service and the ambiance was great! Thank you Westlake Joe's.
