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.

Can't decide? Start with the classics.

The Ravioli and French Dip have been longtime favorites for a reason. Whichever you choose, you really can't go wrong.

Every detail tells a story.

Owner Elena Duggan thoughtfully designed Original Joe's Walnut Creek to honor the brand's nearly 90-year legacy while creating a space that feels fresh, welcoming, and distinctly at home in the East Bay. From the warm interiors to the inviting dining spaces, every corner was imagined with gathering, hospitality, and timeless design in mind.

Come experience it for yourself. 💚
