    French toast
    James M.

    Everything was extremely good. Just got off our cruise ship and wanted a local place to eat. Place is small but they treat you like family. Love that. Food was fresh and made real well. Wife had the chilaquiles and I had an omelette. Also had some really good French toast. Will be back if we are in the area again. Thanks Joe for taking care of us.

    This was our first time visiting Joe's Diner. The specials all looked delicious. The hot cocoa was very hot and delicious with a hint of cinnamon. I enjoyed the pumpkin pancakes while others enjoyed the chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, bacon, chocolate chip pancakes, and waffles. José came out and made sure we were happy with our orders. We

    We stopped by Joe's Diner while in San Pedro visiting family--and what a gem! The owners and staff were incredibly respectful and welcoming. They totally understood my love for extra crispy everything, and nailed it. My son devoured his pancake and orange juice, and my husband was all about the fajita omelet special. The ambiance is small but mighty--cozy, classic diner vibes with real heart. Highly recommend!

    During my time in San Pedro, while running errands, we collectively decided to find a new place to eat. We were delighted to discover Joe's Diner. It's situated in a bustling, small plaza. Conveniently, we found parking directly in front. That was a bonus. Upon entering, we immediately appreciated the cozy and intimate atmosphere of Joe's Diner. This establishment has been operating under the name Joe's Diner for the past three years. The extensive menu is impressive; the variety of dishes Joe prepares in the kitchen is amazing. There are daily specials and a selection of standard breakfast items. I'm rating service at a 5 when Joe himself came out to greet us upon entering. Throughout our dining expierence Jo we came and checked on us often. There are 5 tables in this cozy diner. Make sure your one of them. We ordered cheeseburgers and fries with a side of fruit. Joe's has homemade chili beans outta this world when topped on fries.

    Quality food, quality service. Quiet environment. What more can someone ask for? Local and family owned. Checked all of my boxes.

    Side Salad with Extra Thousand Island Dressing
    Kenneth B. T.

    If I could give this particular order a "5.5" Star Rating- I would be happy to. I reordered the Steak meal on 05/10/24 via Ubereats. Made a few changes from my last order pertaining to the included salad (Forgot to take a picture of salad- put in my fridge to eat after the steak and mashed potatoes- once I finished main entree- ate the salad- but forgot to take picture of salad (with no carrots/no olives/no onions and adding one egg)- so the picture of the salad you see is from my previous order). Steak meal preparation was the same- Extra Well Done Steak No Vegetables- Double Mashed Potatoes with Butter Salad- No Carrots/No Olives/No Onions- Add 1 Egg Extra Thousand Island Dressing Garlic Bread *If you think the pictured steak is both burnt and/or fatty for your tastes- this how I asked it to be prepared. As in my previous 2 orders- this being my 3rd- the meal was extremely tasty, good portion and great dining experience- Joe again didn't forget one thing on my Ubereats special instructions. This definitely is my go-to lunch/dinner meal. Now I have to try a breakfast meal

    Eggs Benedict with potatoes

    It's tasty but basic diner food. Good for lunch and breakfast Their staff is polite and friendly. Engaging in conversation. The place is tiny maybe about 6 small tables. Parking was pretty easy. You can also park on the street.

    Avocado salad, lots of veggies. Made vegan. Simple, healthy and delicious!

I've tried many of the other restaurants in the area and for some reason had missed this one because I don't live close by. This past weekend I gave it a try and thought it was terrific. There is a free parking lot attached on the side of the building so parking is very easy and inside is pretty large with booth seating as well as regular table seating. They also have outdoor seating as well, but it was a bit windy on the day we stopped in. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. They also had a very large amount of limited time specials so I had to take them up on one of those options. We started off with the coffee cake and I thought it was pretty good although it was gigantic. I'm a bit more of a fan of the gooier coffee cake and this was a bit cake ear but still it was enjoyable. I also tried the spicy turkey chili and thought that was a 10 out of 10. I absolutely loved the amount of spice and it had some really great flavors. For my breakfast, I chose one of the specials, which was the Carne Asada Chilaquiles and thought it was terrific. It was a ton of meat and it was honestly more than I could finish, but I really enjoyed trying to. I would definitely recommend and would stop again next time I'm in the area.

Food was generous and one dish was more than enough for two, but me and my husband each ordered a plate along with a bowl of clam chowder, onion rings and pancake w/fries for the kids to share so we had a ton to take home too haha The food didn't surprise me as much; The clam chowder wasn't what I expected but their fries and onion rings were good! All in all we had a great experience and would love to come back again! I also loved the interior!

I really hate to throw any shade on an independently own businesses. But, for your first-timers out there or you people thinking about going to the establishment, I think there's probably a couple of things that you should think about before you come to this café. First of all, let me speak about the high points. The staff here are all super nice. They do their job jobs very well, and they're very friendly. In terms of their food, it seems very well prepared, and it's always really tasty. They have a very nice cross-section of Americana, Cali/Mex, and other items that really make the selection of what you decide to eat truly an adventure. Plus, they have a really nice selection of drinks, including all of the expected: soft drinks, coffees, lattes, and all of that kind of stuff. They also have a few fairly unique drinks. All good! In terms of atmosphere, they have two main interior dining spaces. Both are very well presented, and the tables are nicely spaced apart so you never feel too close to the other customers in the restaurant, even when it's crowded. They also have a couple of outdoor tables, if that's your preference. If you want to sit out and enjoy the atmosphere. Again, all good! There's a few things that are a little bit funky about this restaurant, however, which always send me to wondering. The first is, they do not have their Health Department Grade displayed on their front window as is required. Generally, I've always found the only time restaurants don't show their grade is when they've received a lower than A marking. So, I don't know what Health Department Grading this restaurant has as it is not displayed. Simple as that. It makes me wonder. The other thing is, if you go to the restroom, you walk past their kitchen and their food preparations areas. You can't help but see the space. I don't know? It just seems a little bit funky back there. Then, when you go into the restroom, if I can be kind, it really needs a renovation. There's caulking and filler used all along the lower walls. Why? That's only known by the people who run this establishment. But, it's just a little bit funky back there. They have these upper shelves, covered with small draperies. Plus, there's an area where they keep their supplies, that it's just not a nice thing to look at when you're eating in a café. My feeling is this stuff should all be separated from the dining establishment so the customers don't have to look at it when they use the restroom. It's just not a good look. Overall, all this being said, this is an unique café, that offers some interesting dishes. I'm just telling you the facts. Make of it what you will.

The breakfast potatoes were thinly sliced and nice and crispy, which surprisingly is hard to find in a diner. The iced tea was strong and plentiful.
