Original Joe's San Jose Reviews from The Last Year
Very dissatisfied.
This is not the same restaurant that was a San Jose institution for decades. The quality of food is average at best and the service is subpar. I've been coming to OJ's since 1970 but this will be the last time. It simply hasn't kept up with the times. Don't waste your time or money.
Perhaps one of the most overrated restaurants in the Bay
Perhaps one of the most overrated restaurants in the Bay Area. Hamburger steak, undercooked virtually un edible , very pricey for a glorified cafรฉ. So many better options available. As for the people raving about the ambience, please...
Late night dinner 10 PM with a full house, but good service.
Seated quickly. Ambiance traditional diner mixed with Italian theme. However food was extremely disappointing. Their menu includes almost anything you can find at a diner including Italian. Ordered the raviolis they were awful. Taste/texture of the pasta was like frozen low quality pasta boiled in water and thrown into watery pasta sauce. First time we didn't eat a main dish! The Cesar salad was whole wedge but fresh-roll up your sleeves to get a workout cutting up your salad. This is NOT good Italian food. Not worth $$$$$ price. Only good thing was the employees super polite and attentive.
The ambiance is dark, tons of seating, one of the biggest
The ambiance is dark, tons of seating, one of the biggest restaurants in downtown San Jose. I grew up here my entire life and knew about this restaurant forever but never gave it a try. I tried it this weekend and I must say the food is great and the portion size is great as well. Prices aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Service is fast and overall good experience. I hope this restaurant future success. If you haven't tried it, go on a Friday and try the seafood chowder, it's amazing!
I feel like a character in Goodfellas at Original Joe's,
I feel like a character in Goodfellas at Original Joe's, and that's an awesome feeling! The lighting is dark, and the place is packed with people eating large portions of delicious food. The pictures on the wall are very nostalgic, which is strange since they're from a time long before I was even born. Our waiter was really nice and even packed up our leftovers for us. He noticed I was on my phone googling the menu and came over to answer any questions. He gave us his recommendations, and they did not disappoint. Soon, I'm going to be a regular here and I know it. I can't believe I slept on such a classic Italian spot, having lived in San Jose most my life. I wish I knew the waiters name so management could recognize him for his awesome service. All I can say is he was very tall and looked like he was in his 30s!
This is definitely a traditional Bay Area spot, as I have
This is definitely a traditional Bay Area spot, as I have many family members who grew up in the area and know and love this place. While it is a well-known establishment, it didn't blow me away. My husband and I went to this location right when they opened on a week day and we got seated right away. We did not opt to get any appetizers, and stuck with entrees only. I got the pesto pasta, and my husband got the chicken parmesan. The pesto was good and fresh. The sauce on the chicken parmesan definitely tasted homemade. The food was good but not outstanding. That was the extent of our visit. The waiter was friendly. The ambiance was nice - it was a quiet late afternoon. Parking was across the street - we ended up having to pay because we couldn't find close street parking.
Love coming to Joe's!! Never disappoints.
From cocktails to dinner to even desert. We've celebrated special occasions, birthdays here or just dinner with a bottle or 2 of wine. Everyone is great, Michelle, Frank, Russ, Erin, I can go beyond naming everyone at this place who make this place great, thank you! Must come here!!
FOOD REVIEW: Disappointing.
I was hoping the 3- star rating was not as accurate as it was, but I had to even go down a star. In town and Joe's was next to our hotel so after reading reviews we decided to at least try it and see for ourselves. We ordered the Chicken Pesto and Meatball sandwiches and the Penne with Broccoli and Chicken. It was all extremely bland. I loaded my pesto sandwich up with salt and pepper to try and even get a little bit of flavor out of it to no avail. The portions are huge, but it doesn't matter when the food has minimal flavor. For the price, I expected big flavor - very disappointing. If you like seasoned and good flavor food, this isn't the place. Im surprised how busy this place is. We arrived at 4:07p and they opened at 4pm... it was packed by 5. SERVICE REVIEW: Very good service. Our server was very polite, checked on us while we waited, extremely pleasant.
San Jose Legend
This place is a classic in San Jose - super old fashioned and excellent Italian food. The place is hard to get in but if the bar is open sit there and watch them make your food.
Excellent good! Impeccable service! A classic Italian
Excellent good! Impeccable service! A classic Italian steakhouse. It is pricey but the portions are huge! You definitely get what you pay for!
This our second visit in 3 weeks.
First time of ever being here in over 10 year and it was excellent. The visit we had last night was just extremely awful. Starting with the hostess, she's an older women. First time very nice and polite, last night very crabby unless you're a regular ( was sitting at a booth Big Booth with her regulars talking when we left )She literally sat us a family of 4 in a booth for two, right next to the cooking station. When my grandson was having a hard time to breathe ( battling a lung infection at 5 years old under the doctors care ) we tried to explain to the hostess that the heat/ smoke from cooking of steaks and fish was effecting him, and asked to be moved away from the cooking isle her response was I need to make fair for all servers. Yes we contemplated about leaving but after sitting in traffic for 40 min to get there and if it wasn't for the waitress who came over and we asked to be moved after we explained our situation. We were moved to a small booth for 2 by the salad station. Our waitress was awesome, the food is nice portions, but on this night was very bland with no flavor. Wednesday nights are not busy at all, lots of open tables all over. Not sure what that older lady hostess problem was last night, it's like she has different personalities on any given day, like you don't know what to expect from her when you go there and for that reason it maybe another ten years before I step in there again. There's NO WOW factor like this was great to want to go back!
Caution when Paying at Original Joe's San Jose
Caution when Paying at Original Joe's San Jose: And feel free to share with others. If you are ever in San Jose and decide to eat at Original Joe's San Jose be aware they will rip you off if paying your bill with a debit card. On 02-27-24 wife and I ate dinner their and our bill totaled $108.12. We gave our server the debit card which we knew had more than enough on the card (because we checked it before we left home) to pay for our dinner and after waiting approximately minutes he never returned so we left. We were outside and our server and a female came out and told us our card did not go through so we went back inside and used one of our personal credit cards to pay for our dinner. Well, when we returned home wife checked the website for the debit card and saw that $108.12 had been paid to Original Joe's San Jose and when she checked our credit card she saw it also paid the bill. So they doubled charged us and now they do not want to do anything about correcting this matter. Wife called them three different times to speak with someone and was promised someone would call us back and it did not happen. This evening over a week later wife finally received a call from a female named Michelle Rocca from Original Joe's and she basically said they are not showing any statement for $108.12 even though we have in our possession our copy of the dinner ticket. Wife tried explaining to the lady that our debit card was charged and and our credit card and she did care about hearing about that. And she did not know what to tell us since she is not showing that payment from the debit card in their records so there is nothing she will do about it. Wife even told her she would email her the statements showing the payments from the debit card and the credit card and she just refused to even accept those showing the double payments. We travel to San Jose every year and we have always ate dinner at Original Joe's but after what they did this time we will never step foot into Original Joe's San Jose again and I strongly suggest you should do the same. They flat ripped us off under the pretense our debit card was no good when in fact it was. So feel free to share this information so everyone who may eat there is aware of the way they are doing their business.
Amazing food and drinks
I love the pastas and the drinks. Worth the wait! No wonder why people love this restaurant. Well done!
Well worth the wait!
First place in the States where Iโve had soda not tasting chlorine! And the food was just AMAZING. The charbroiled chicken was cooked to perfection, and the vegetables was not too tender, just the way I love it. We shared a five layer cake for dessert. The portions are huge, so next time weโll share one. The staff was super friendly and our waiter; Frank, has โitโ. The charm, friendly energy and was very service minded. Some comment the service is a bit slow, and Iโd have to agree, but it is very much worth the wait. Even the tap water tastes great, and Iโm hard to please in that manner.๐
