Frisco Loungers; Fire at Original Joe's.

[Ecuador Jim]

Fond memories

I really enjoyed Original Joe's when I lived in the Bay Area. It has many copycats in the area, but it still held it's position as #1 for me.

I hate to see when restaurants encounter some major disaster like that; most end up giving up before they get re-opened.

There is an alternative...

Folks,

There is an alternative and it's not exactly THE Joe's but it's Westlake Joe's. My heart bled when I heard about Original Joe's as it was a hang out of mine.

I drive past the Joe's of Westlake at least 5 or 6 times a week and have never even paid the least bit of attention to it. Thanks for pointing it out, Fedoragent. Now I have to check it out.

That's a real shame...another storied San Francisco establishment gone. I only went one time,but it was with a group of fellow loungers and we had a great time. I hope they do rebuild,but will they re-create the original decor that was a major part ot "original joe's"? .....

I'll have to make some Joe's Special to honour the wonderful joint.
It is truly a shame. I haven't been there in years and years. I should check it out when they re-open.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

There's also a Joe's of San Mateo on Peninsula Avenue and Delaware St. And a Half Moon Bay Joe's on Hwy 1 south of Half Moon Bay. Not to mention the original, Original Joe's in San Jose.

The kids of the owner just opened a restaurant called Fish and Farm on Taylor and Ellis in Frisco.

So sad!

What a bummer.
Westlake Joe's is also quite nice and retro. Not exactly the same vibe but nice.

I'll miss the place!

Isn't there also one in Marin? But the original is well...the original!

Yes, there is a Joe's in Marin and a Joe's in Lafayette and a Joe's in Westlake.
