Original Joe's famous Italian steak restaurant opened in San Francisco's Tenderloin in 1937. The version we visited is in Daly City; it is well known. We ate there for about $65 each without drinks.
It's somewhat curious. The place has two large parking lots, and both (as our son-in-law had warned us) were full when we arrived at noon on a Friday. We parked on a residential street.
Every well-cushioned seat in the place had a bum in it except for our table, which we had reserved. The food tasted good. Our server was adequate and expressionless--he spilled only one glass of water on Susan. There was a dude lurking in the men's room to pass out towels. Very 1937.
We had a good feed and a great time with our friends, but I wonder why the place is so extra popular.
