Reviews
Personally, I thought my experience was great. If you want a nice, quiet restaurant where you can take your time and not feel rushed, this is 100% the place. (I went on a Saturday, where it is known for HMB to get pretty busy) To begin, the host let me choose where I wanted to sit, which was very nice! Since it was pretty empty, I sat in the corner by the bar where I could read quietly. The kitchen was eating lunch, but were very quick to cook my food and it was delicious! Servers checked in frequently, kitchen staff seemed great, and the food was delicious. Since I went there to read, I finished paying and they allowed me to stay there and finish reading as long as I wanted. At no point did I feel rushed or unwanted there! I can't wait to go back again! Bathrooms were also clean and well maintained. Bussers also would frequently clean tables, even if they weren't used! I recommend the pancakes if you want something simple and not too filling.
There 1/2 pound burger and steak fries are delicious. matched with an iced tea and a piece of apple pie. Makes a great meal.
This mainstay never disappoints! Deliciously prepared with attentive staff. YOU WILL NOT LEAVE HUNGRY! Love the Italian and variety options. DESSERTS are a must. A HALF MOON BAY MUST STOP!
Arrived about 7:30am or so, was warmly greeted by a gentleman named Jesus. Super nice & respectful guy. He proceeded to hand me a menu and allowed me to pick any table I liked. The restaurant had two other tables in addition to me, and I must say everyone seemed to be enjoying their morning here at Joes. I asked Jesus what he recommended as I had never been there before, he let me know that everything was delicious, therefore I ordered the NY steak & eggs, steak cooked medium, accompanied by sourdough toast and breakfast potatoes. Must say the steak was made PERFECT! Nice crisp exterior of the steak, with a nice juicy red tender inside. The steak was truly a delight. I recommend! In all, I give this place a 10/10, for service, speed of service, and flavorful delicious food, and attentiveness to my coffee and water. Which is at times at many places overlooked. Not here tho! So to the staff, thank you for a wonderful breakfast and great start to my day! Looking forward to visiting you guys again!
