An anchor of Daly City from 1956 to 2014, Original Joe’s Westlake underwent an extensive two-year renovation, complete with a front-to-back interior remodel, including the kitchen and all dining spaces, and an exterior and landscaping overhaul. Following the Original Joe’s tradition, Westlake continues to prepare unpretentious, old-school Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. The menu is carefully crafted to reflect a past-meets-present hybrid of what Joe’s of Westlake used to be and what Original Joe’s Westlake is today.

Dining area is more open after renovations which include outdoor dining. Clams in wine broth were delicious, as was the Butternut Squash soup & Marsala Fish dinner. Service excellent, street parking always a challenge. A bit more noisy with the open decor.

Food is terrific. The best burger in San Francisco. They have this amazing horseradish aioli on it and I always ask for a small container to go as an extra. Staff are always friendly. It’s our go to place for many occasions formal and informal

Really nice experience. Great food and super attentive service. We're on the covered patio, so a little less buzzy than the dining room, so easy to catch up with friends. Highly recommended.
