Lousy atmosphere. The lights are way too bright after dark. Slow service is the order of the day, apparently. More

They have a great Sunday brunch, as well as dinners all week. And the food is locally sourced. Very nice menu and some wonderful wines, fun crew working there and lots of specials and deals etc. A good choice! More

I found this restaurant in Edible Santa Fe, so I knew it would be good to try using fresh ingredients. We had the fabulous pizza with homemade crust and fresh cheese and a pork chop dinner with crisp tender veggies. Yummy! Not crowded at all, but you could tell the customers were regulars. Friendly waiters. I want to try the... More

Maybe I'm jaded because I grew up in New York, but this was by far the worst pizza I've ever had. We usually get pizza from Pizza Centro or Rooftop but wanted to try something different. The prices were about the same but the pizza was much smaller. The crust looked like a cardboard waffle and tasted about the same.... More

Joe's Diner uses local ingredients whenever possible and serves reliably good food in a comfortable setting, but we do find the service somewhat spotty. They specialize in comfort foods and Italian: tuna melts, burgers, spaghetti and pizza, and they do not disappoint. They also have upscale entrees which can be quite good. During Farmer’s Market (summer and fall) their Margarita... More

When I fisted moved to SF everyone that eats organically told me to eat at Joes. I've been there for breakfast, lunch, & dinner 2-3 times. I think the food is good, overpriced, and inconsistent. The owner can often be seen barking orders and not pitching in. The entire wait staff are underskilled and inefficient. I live 2 minutes away... More

Never expected to have such great food in a diner, but was surprised. Looks like a diner with a bit of neon signage, and vintage look, and then the food menu make it even more appealing. Nice jazz music playing in the background, good servers, and all fresh food from local farmers is used (you can tell at your first... More

We've eaten at Joe's several times. It is close by, so that is a draw but the food is good! The service can be slow but worth the wait. Save room for dessert - topnotch. More

I love the Greek pizza and my husband enjoys the buffalo burger. The Friday Fish and Chips special is excellent too. Haven't been there for dinner yet but that looks good too. Local meat and produce which is beneficial for all! More
