Original Joe's Walnut Creek

Original Joe's Walnut Creek Classic Italian-American comfort food with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere.

Original Joe’s, San Francisco’s beloved family-owned Italian-American restaurant, has opened its first East Bay location at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek—marking the brand’s first expansion beyond the city in its 88-year history. Founded in 1937 by Croatian immigrant Tony Rodin and now run by third-generation siblings John and Elena Duggan, Original Joe’s is known for its classic Italian-American

comfort food, generous portions, and welcoming atmosphere. The new Walnut Creek restaurant features signature booth seating, an exhibition kitchen with counter dining, two glass bars, a private dining room, and nearly 90 outdoor seats across three patios.

From Taylor Street to Walnut Creek.

Our original 13-foot sign from 1937 was salvaged after the 2007 fire, restored, and given a new home here in the Bar & Lounge at Walnut Creek... a glowing reminder of where it all began.

We love your celebrations. 🥂

Birthdays, anniversaries, special events, “we finally got everyone’s calendar to line up” dinners... we’ll take them all!

The main dining room brings the energy, while our private space offers a more intimate setting with its own bar, indoor-outdoor fireplace, private patio, and room for up to 40 guests.

Spotted: the finishing touches on the Zucchini Fries make all the difference 👀

House-made lemon basil aioli on the side, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano piled on top... and very little chance these make it around the table twice.
