A Bay Area institution since 1937, Original Joe’s has been serving classic, Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. In the same year the Golden Gate Bridge was built, Original Joe’s was opened by Tony Rodin – a Croatian immigrant in search of the American dream. What started as a 14-stool counter on a sawdust-covered floor in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, is now a culinary institution with three iconic locations, beloved for making anyone and everyone feel at home. Today, the Original Joe’s brand is defined by classic comfort food, welcoming hospitality, and an unpretentious yet elegant ambiance. It embraces a rich, old-school history while also balancing a modern sensibility – a combination that creates an unparalleled dining experience evoking familiarity, warmth, and refinement.
